Perilaku Ekonomi Para Pihak Dalam Pemanfaatan Tumbuhan Obat Di Tn Meru Betiri Jawa Timur

Perilaku ekonomi para pihak di Taman Nasional Meru Betiri (TNMB) ditentukan oleh akses mereka terhadap pemanfaatan tumbuhan obat. Variabel akses seperti teknologi, modal, pasar, tenaga kerja, pengetahuan, otoritas, identitas sosial dan negosiasi melalui relasi sosial diperlukan dalam pemanfaatan tersebut. Keuntungan, biaya transaksi dan jaminan alami merupakan faktor ekonomi yang mengikuti perilaku para pihak di TNMB. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis perilaku sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat pedesaan di sekitar hutan TNMB melalui identifikasi variabel akses yang mereka miliki, biaya manfaat yang diperoleh, biaya transaksi dan jaminan alam dalam pemanfaatan tumbuhan obat di TNMB. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa para pihak memiliki tiga variabel aksesyaitu teknologi, kapital dan pasar. Dalam analisis statistik diperoleh bahwa hanya akses terhadap pasar yang memiliki nilai positif, sedangkan akses lainnya negatif. Hal ini berarti bahwa permintaan tumbuhan obat dipengaruhi oleh pasar dan kurang dipengaruhi oleh penggunaan kapital dan teknologi. Pendarung dan blandong lebih berperilaku sebagai penjual sedangkan pengepul dan borek kayu sebagai pembeli. Para pihak umumnya mendapatkan keuntungan dalam pemanfaatan tumbuhan obat, tetapi keuntungan tersebut harus dibagikan kepada berbagai pihak yang terlibat secara tidak langsung dalam perdagangan tumbuhan obat

Homa-ir Index Evaluation on Antidiabetes Mellitus Effect of Andrographis Paniculata (Burm. F.) Nees Purified Extract and Andrographolide

Diabetes mellitus type 2 was induced by high fat diet and fructose. The insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia compensatory can be measured by index homeostatic model assessment – insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees is a traditional plant can be used to treat diabetes mellitus and the main active compound of this plant is Andrographolide. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of purified extract of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees and andrographolide on HOMA-IR index of High fat diet and fructose induced Wistar Rats. This study is quasi-experimental and data analysis was using Kruskal-Wallis test. The result showed that purified extract of Andrographis paniculata and andrographolide decreased HOMA-IR index. Purified extract of Andrographis paniculata 1303,8 mg/kg decreased HOMA-IR index by 82,05 %

Stakeholders' Mapping And Strategy For Restoring Peatland Forest In West Tanjung Jabung Jambi, Indonesia

Peatland forests became the centre of discussions in Indonesia because 33% of 2.4 million hectares burned in 2014. This research aims to describe the stakeholders' position and their logic in choosing a strategy for peatland forest areas. The result shows that nine stakeholders were actively involved in peatland forest restoration in West Tanjung Jabung Regency. Based on categorization, the analysis points out that all stakeholders had occupied key players' position. Further analysis using a ladder of participation criteria found two models of participation, i.e. citizen power and tokenism. However, the value of citizen power is higher than tokenism that is 56% and 44%, respectively. It means that stakeholders should develop partnership and other models in citizen power criteria to reach their targets. It also means that trust is an essential variable in the relationship among stakeholders and should be developed in peatland forest restoration. The consequence of this research is that stakeholders can improve two strategies, i.e. collaborative forest management and community-based forest management

Peatland Forest Fire Prevention Using Wireless Sensor Network Based on Naïve Bayes Classifier

Recently, peatland forest fires happened massively and gave bad impact for environment. It is necessary to make efforts to reduce of peatland forest fires, Early Warning System (EWS) is one of the solutions. Here, we propose an EWS to prevent forest fire in peatland by using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). It uses three significant parameters which are oxygen concentration, soil humidity, and environment temperature. Naïve bayes classifier processes the data parameters and then determines forest fire potential. Unusual measurement of the parameters will trigger the classifier decision. Forest fire potential will be displayed through web services. This EWS helps the authorities to monitor and detect forest fire potential in the peatland, so it can be prevented

Strategi on Releasing Non-productive of Forest Conversion Area for Tora Program in Riau Province

Development process needs lands as natural resources. Unfortunately, availability of land is relatively limited. Therefore, it needs releasing process of forestland to become non forestland. In the process of releasing the forestland, there are some policies which need stakeholders to consider so the minimum required forestland of 30% is fulfilled. Releasing forestland area is possible to undertake on non-productive forest conversion area which is also for the government agrarian reform programs which is called Nawacita. The objective of this research is tooffer answer about the indicative forestland which can be used for development needs, particularly for poor people who live near the forest. The results indicate that non-productive of conversion forest can provide land for development in Riau Province for about 205,847.86 hectares (93.01%) from the total conversion forest area based on agrarian reform program. Permanent forested land which needs to be maintained as forest area is 1,102.42 hectares, because most of the area are still primary forests. For the effectiveness of releasing conversion forest area, socialization programs to inform the community is needed
