Study on the Implementation of the Green City Development Program (PK2H) through Optimizing Green Open Space (RTH) in Ilir Barat I District, Palembang City

This study aims to analyze the development, utilization, supervision, and control of the green open space program in Ilir Barat I Sub-District, Palembang. This study was conducted in, Ilir Barat I Sub-District, Palembang city.October 2019 to December 2019. On this research used descriptive qualitative methods and analysis of vegetation (Anveg) by using and purposive sampling. Based on the analysis,The Sub-District of Ilir Barat I has a Green Open Space (RTH) covering an area of 101,389 m2 with a percentage of 0.51%. The area of it does not meet the minimum area of green space based on Law No. 26 of 2007 in article 29 paragraph (2) of 30% and has met the requirements of article 29 paragraph (3) of 20%. With the distribution of green open space is the Puncak Sekuning TPU with an area of 40,000 m² with a percentage of 0.20%.The green space location with the smallest area in the stadium of Bumi Sriwijaya has a green space of 1,627 m² with a percentage of 0.01%. The area of green space in the District of Ilir Barat I Palembang based on the results of the study was 101,389 m², while the area of it based on Palembang PRKP data in the Sub-District of Ilir Barat I of Palembang City was 96,166 m². Researcher measurement data has a difference of 5,223 m² with data from the Palembang City PRKP Service. Angsana tree (Pterocarpus indicus), The highest number of tree in green line (road side) is Trembesi (Albizia saman) while in median road is Tanjung (Mimusops elengi)

POTENTIAL OF CARBON STORAGE IN ANGSANA PLANT (Pterocarpus indicus Willd) IN ILIR BARAT I DISTRICT, PALEMBANG CITY

This aims of the study is to determine the potential for carbon deposits and uptake in Angsana (Pterocarpus indicus Willd) tree species. This research was carried out in December 2019. To determine the potential for carbon storage, the Allometric Equation formula was used to estimate biomass stored in it. A half of the biomass is carbon content stored. The results of this study showed that the largest estimation of carbon storage in green space of Ilir Barat I District at the point of observation of GOR / PSCC with a total carbon content of 17,999 tons / ha with an individual number of 23 species of Angsana plants (Pterocarpus indicus Willd). For the District of Ilir Barat I in the City of Palembang, it is expected to increase the number of Angsana (Pterocarpus indicus Willd) plants because these plants can absorb enough carbon and have strong root

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND DEFORESTATION RATE IN INDONESIA

Tropical deforestation is one of the most serious environmental problems discussed on a global scale in recent times.Indonesia has suffered from a deforestation problem for the last few decades while the country experiencedthe economic growth acceleration by extracting natural resources.Analyzing the relationship between deforestation and economic development within Indonesia will provide valuable information for the government to determine trade-off between them.The mainobjective of this study is to economically and statistically demonstrate the relationship between the economic development and thedeforestationrate in Indonesia and find out the turning point at which the increase in income level does not lead to the increase in deforestation rate. For this purpose, this study uses time series data over 46 years from 1962 to 2007 and applies the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach for cointegration developed by Pesaran and Shin (1998) recently to examine the EKC hypothesis. The main reason for this is because therehas been no study on EKC for deforestation in Indonesia investigated by using time series so far. The dependent variable is deforestation rate and independent variables are real GDP per capita (GDP), population growth (POPGRW), rural population (RPOPDEN), agricultural index (AGI), agricultural land (AGL),roundwood production (RWOOD), and forest product export (FOREXP). The results show that both the linear and non-linear terms of GDP per capita confirm the existence of the inverted-U relationship between economic growth and deforestation rate in the long-run.The results suggest that the deforestation rate increases at the initial stage of economic growth and declines after a threshold point.The income turning point (ITP) of the EKC in this researchwas calculated to beUS $ 990.4.The analysis of short-run dynamics also indicates that the coefficients of GDP and GDP 2 are reasonable in terms of EKC, and the deviation from the long-run equilibrium is quickly adjusted. Moreover, we obtained the findings that rural population (RPOP), agricultural index (AGI), and roundwood (RWOOD) productionhave a negative and significant effect on the deforestation. The long-run model passed all the diagnostic tests successfully (LM test, normality test of residual term, White heteroscedasticity), and it was confirmed that all the parameters estimated in the model are stable from the plots of CUSUM and CUSUMSQ. In order to reduce the deforestation rate, the Indonesian government should focus on improving technology in agriculture. Technological progress in agriculture must reduce the pressure on land demand and slow the deforestation.

Peat Swamp Forest Degradation: Impacts, Affected Communities and Losses

Degradation of peat swamp forest have locally, regionally and regionally impact. This paper presents the impact of peat swamp forest degradation with a focus on the study of communities around peat swamp forest. In-depth interviews were used as a method to identify communities affected by peat swamp forest degradation. Cost of illness, the change of productivity is used as an approach to predict community losses as a result of peat swamp forest degradation. The results of the study show that peat swamp forest degradation has an impact on forest, provincial and regional communities. Peat swamp forest degradation causes a decrease in environmental quality, productivity and various health impacts on communities around the forest. Various economic sectors such as transportation, transportation, trade, tourism, health and education have a negative impact from forest and land fires as a result of peat swamp forest degradation

Enabling Factors of NTFP Business Development for Ecosystem Restoration: The Case of Tamanu Oil in Indonesian Degraded Peatland

Indonesia’s tropical peatlands are one of the world’s largest carbon sinks, and they are facing the threat of extensive degradation and conversion. The Indonesian government is committed to peat restoration. However, restoration is still a costly, top-down approach lacking community participation, and is focused on the 3R scheme (rewetting, revegetation, and revitalization). Peatland restoration businesses are part of the innovative effort to finance this endeavor. Unfortunately, there is not much information available about the pre-conditions required to create a restoration business. This study seeks to understand the enabling conditions for the development of peatland restoration, with a focus on the tamanu oil business, and to assess whether the same situation might apply in the context of the restoration of degraded peatland. PEST analysis is used to describe the macro-environmental factors of the tamanu oil business and its development opportunities in degraded peatlands. Tamanu oil-based peat ecosystem restoration businesses offer good prospects because of the growing it has grown the bioenergy and biomedical markets, and they can cover a larger area of degraded peatland landscape. For tamanu oil businesses to succeed in peat ecosystem restoration, we recommend that policy documents at various levels include tamanu as a priority commodity for peatland restoration and alternative community businesses, followed by planting programs by all stakeholders. The government and social organizations must take positions as initiators and catalysts, establish a significant number and extent of pilot tamanu plantations, and create a mutually supportive business climate between entrepreneurs and peatland managers
