NILAI KERUGIAN DAN EFEKTIVITAS PENCEGAHAN KEBAKARAN HUTAN GAMBUT (STUDI KASUS DI TAMAN NASIONAL SEBANGAU PROVINSI KALIMANTAN TENGAH)

Kegiatan pencegahan kebakaran hutan gambut di Taman Nasional Sebangau (TNS) telah dilakukan setiap tahun oleh pengelola kawasan. Hingga kini kebakaran masih menjadi ancaman terutama di musim kemarau. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penyebab kebakaran, mengukur nilai kerugian di tahun 2014 dan menganalisis efektivitas pencegahannya. Penyebab kebakaran dipicu oleh aktifitas masyarakat di dalam dan sekitar kawasan. Nilai Kerugian Total akibat kebakaran seluas ± 4364 ha mencapai Rp 134 Milyar. Kegiatan pencegahan kebakaran termasuk efektif jika hanya dilihat dari persentase penyerapan input (realisasi anggaran), namun sangat tidak efektif dilihat dari persentase pencapaian sasaran (outcome) berupa penurunan jumlah titik panas (hotspot) dan luas kebakaran. Analisis kualititatif dilakukan untuk menggambarkan kendala permasalahan di tingkat tapak. Kegiatan pencegahan harus ditingkatkan dengan lebih memperhatikan akar masalah penyebab kebakaran yaitu faktor sosial-ekonomi masyarakat

The Perspective of Forestry Graduates Toward Rural Forestry Based Business

The rural forestry business had shown a good economic feasibilty and worthed to develop in the rural economy. However the business income cannot to improve the standard of living worthy and have a low attractiveness. The attractiveness increase can be done with increasing profitability of rural forestry business and enhance the role of forestry graduates. Forestry graduates in Indonesia, with their title as Sarjana Kehutanan (S.Hut) had been scarcely involved in rural and traditional forestry based business. Such anomaly had not been becoming neither governmental nor profesional concerns. This study tried to explore the perspective of the S.Hut, concerning their understanding and interest in the business, to see how far their potential capacity to be entrepreneurs. This study differentiated the respondences into S.Hut working in forestry and S.Hut working in non-forestry job. With qualitative and quantitative approach, and total respondents of 158 persons, consisting 122 persons as forestry jobs and 38 persons as non-forestry jobs, this study found out that the S.Hut in Indonesia had ample or good perspectives based on the parameters of higher interests, attractiveness, knowledge, and effications.

Aspek Ekonomi Pengusahaan Taman Buru Masigit Kareumbi Kabupaten Sumedang Jawa Barat (the Economic Aspect of the Exertion Masigit Kareumbi Hunting Park in the Regency of Sumedang West Java)

Masigit Kareumbi Hunting Park (MKHP) as one of the 14 hunting parks exist in Indonesia has a prospective future. The potency of biophysic area which cover the area, accessibility, topography and vegetation condition can prospectively be exerted. In the other side, there is a tendency to exert hunting sport either for domestic hunters or foreigen hunters is a good chance for MKHP improvement. This research is aimed at analyzing economic prospect of MKHP exertion through the calculation of Net Present Value (NPV), Benefits Cost Ratio (BCR) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). MKHP area has a natural power of attraction like flora, fauna, ecosystem or natural phenomenon to be developed through hunting activity, natural tourism, cultures, research, science and embrio supply for cultivation. Based on the analisys, the main activity for improving MKHP is by setting the plan, enclave relocation, infra structure establishment and the other things which support it. Besides to fulfill the conservation function, the preservation of habitat and population must be greatly paid attention. Two options are done to analyze this, that is through (1) exerting MKHP in the aspect of hunting and ecotourism, and (2) exerting MKHP in the aspect special hunting. The financial analysis shows that the MKHP exertion with the price $1.500 and$ 750 for deer and $150 and$ 100 for pig (trophy and non trophy) in the rate of 9% from hunting and ecotourism it gains NPV Rp 50.160.631.000,00 and BCR 1,677 (with breeding). But the exertion without breeding it gains NPV Rp 24.955.315.000,00 and BCR 1,476. The exertion through both scenarios is reasonable to do. The exertion from special hunting with breeding scenario is obtained NPV Rp 36.896.371.000,00 and BCR 1,548. The MKHP exertion through the special hunting without breeding result NPV Rp 19.2933690.000,00 and BCR 1,386. This means the exertion is acceptable

Sources of Timber and Constraints to the Timber Acquisition of Jepara‘s Small-Scale Furniture Industries

Teak and mahogany furniture industries in Jepara are dominated by small-scale industrial unit, produce simple type of furniture mostly made from less than 28 cm diameter of teak log.  Timber main producers of the industries are Perum Perhutani and village plantations.  Small-scale furniture industries characterized by limited capital, therefore there is no log stocking behavior. This resulted in a close interaction on log supply and demand dynamics between both traders and industries. As a consequence of drastic increase in the number of the industries, one big question on sustainability of raw material for the industries has been emerged. Data taken from this research indicated scarcity of teak and mahogany log.  Limited capital directs industries to blame the difficulties mainly due to increasing timber price. Additionally, the industries (and log traders) who are stand mostly in level 2 of log distribution chain mentioned that compared to 10 years ago, there is difficulty in obtaining bigger log diameter.  It is a very interesting finding that the industries do not certainly sense timber scarcity as one possibility reason behind the timber scarcity.  As weakness on business resilience has been the main characteristic of the industries, the threads would give a direct impact to the industries soon or later.  To this, serious efforts in maintaining timber sustainability, shortening timber distribution chain, together with capital strengthening seem to be the fastest way in supporting the sustainability of the industries.Keywords: teak furniture, timber price, small-scale, timber scarcit

PERANCANGAN REPOSITORY DENGAN DUKUNGAN OPEN ARCHIEVE INITIATIVE (OAI) BERBASIS OPEN SOURCE MENGGUNAKAN CODEIGNITER DAN NODE.JS

Repository menjadi sarana yang baik untuk mempublikasikan hasil penelitian pada lingkup yang lebih luas. Hal ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan reputasi yang baik untuk referensi dari para penulis dalam pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan. Repository merupakan sebuah perangkat lunak open source yang dapat digunakan sebagai arsip serta dapat menyimpan gambar, data penelitian dan suara dalam bentuk digital. Tersebarnya repository seperti; e-prints, d-space, fedora, greenstone digital library, ganesa digital library (GDL) dan SLIMs tetapi masih kurang banyak digunakan oleh Perguruan Tinggi di Indonesia dikarenakan hal teknis spesifikasi serta kesulitan masalah biaya dan sumber daya. Penelitian ini mencoba untuk membangun model repository yang dapat digunakan sebagai bentuk manajemen publikasi dan penerbitan serta memiliki fitur Open Archieve Initiative (OAI) dan penanganan metadata agar dapat secara baik ter-index pada indexing internasional dan bersifat open source. Secara garis besar penelitian ini dibagi dalam tiga tahapan, yaitu pengumpulan data pra pengembangan, pengembangan serta implementasi, dan pengumpulan data pasca pengembangan. Pengumpulan data pra pengembangan dimaksudkan untuk mendapatkan bekal studi pendahuluan tentang inti masalah yang sedang dihadapi, sedangkan tahap pengembangan dan implementasi berfokus pada memodelkan perancangan perangkat lunak ke dalam diagram dan membuat kode pemrograman untuk mengimplementasikan perancangan yang telah dibuat. Sedangkan tahapan pengumpulan data pasca pengembangan adalah untuk pembenahan aplikasi yang dibuat, penarikan kesimpulan, dan saran untuk topik penelitian selanjutnya. Dari hasil penelitian maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa repository dibangun dengan framework codeigniter, node.js dan menggunakan bahasa pemograman pendukung seperti HTML, CSS, Jquery, Java Script, JSON, AJAX, Boostrap sebagai media dalam perancangan antar muka. Sedangkan PHP sebagai server side dan MySQL sebagai database.
