Bioeconomic and environmental valuation of dipterocarp estate forest based on local wisdom in Kutai Kartanegara, Indonesia

Abstract. Muliadi M, Lahjie AM, Simarangkir B.D.A.S., Ruslim Y. 2017. Bioeconomic and enviromental valuation of dipterocarp estate forest based on local wisdom in Kutai Kartanegara, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 401-408. Research was conducted in the dipterocarp estate forest in Kutai Kartanegara District, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia and aimed (i) to find out the potentials of logs; (ii) to find out the correlation among variables based on bioeconomic and environmental analysis; (iii) to analyze the value of bioeconomic and environmental equilibrium; (iv) to find out the price of logs based on local wisdom. Findings showed that bioeconomic analysis based on local wisdom in dipterocarp plantation forest at different estating distance had different potential and increment, while the same maximum increment was found at 40 years and their equilibrium was found at 30 years. Other local wisdom also showed there was a strong relationship between bioeconomic and environmental variables. Diameter influenced the price of logs and local wisdom suggested higher than the market prices at the diameter of 35 cm at $ 230.50 USD, while the price of log in the market was actually $145 USD. Thus the unpaid environmental services amounted to $ 85.5 USD m-3. Therefore the government should change the amount of the current levy. If there is no change, the government will not be able to finance the restoration of estate forest and natural forest and have further impacts on climate change.

COAL MINING OPERATIONS AND ITS IMPACT ON SECTORAL AND REGIONAL AREA: EVIDENCE OF EAST KALIMANTAN, INDONESIA

Mining sector plays important roles for Indonesian economic performance, especially in East Kalimantan. This study investigates: (a) whether economic linkages of the mining sector related with other economic sectors in East Kalimantan, (b) who gets benefit from such mining activities; (c) how is the impact of mining sector for rural and urban households; and (d) what happens if coal mining, oil and gas productions are completely depleted. The quantitative analysis framework using Input-Output and Social Accounting Matrix Tables in period 2009-2010 has been implemented as main data set. The result shows that mining sector was underdeveloped sector in East Kalimantan, including Kutai Kartanegara district. Activities from mining sector tended to give benefit for the owners of capital, which is larger than that benefit for workers employed. Structural Path Analysis (SPA) shows that urban households gain the greatest advantages from the activities of this sector. The result also shows that the total output decreased by 65.12% when the mining, oil and gas dissapeared. A drastic reducing income after mining and oil and gas era will have an impact on the decline in the purchasing power in the region. However, the interesting finding of this research shows that the loss of mining and oil or gas sectors actually increases the strength of employment multiplier by 19%.

The biophysical environment of Separi River on Kutai Kartanegara District

This study was conducted at six sampling sites in Separi River flow area. Results showed that at all sampling sites the diversity of water biota (as nekton, plankton and benthos) was categorized low to moderate, its homogeneity was low to evenly distributed, and both dominant and not dominant species were found. Linear regression equation to show the relationship between fish species, plankton species and benthos species with some water quality parameters as temperature (X1), TSS (X2), TDS (X3), colour (X4), and turbidity (X5) was applied. The equation to show relationship with fish species is Y = 8,657–0,101 X1 -0,002 X2 –0,013 X3 -0,008 X4+ 0,021 X5 (r = 0,792; R = 62,48 %); with plankton species is Y = 2551,355 – 69,582 X1 - 0,101 X2 + 0,256 X3 + 0,128 X4- 0,362 X5 (r = 0,372; R = 0,139%); and with benthos species is Y = 1356,461–21,310 X1-0,816 X2+0,153 X3+0,012 X4 -0,248 X5 (r = 0,444; R = 19,7 %). Relationship between fish species and some other water quality parameters as pH (X1), DO (X2), COD (X3), and BOD5 (X4) is shown by equation Y = - 8,503 –1,105 X1 + 2,054 X2 + 0,043 X3 + 3,501 X4 (r = 0,648; R = 41,9 %). Phytoplankton from the class of Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, and Crysophyceae can be used as bio-indicators to predict water pollution. The quality status of water at all sample sites based on physical, chemical, and biological parameters in average was included in Class 4 which means that the water can only be utilized for crop irrigation or for other uses with similar requirements doi: 10.12777/ijwr.3.1.2013.13-21

Result of Six Local Upland Rice Cultivars of East Kalimantan at Different Plant Spacing

The objective of this research was to evaluate the response of six upland rice cultivars from East Kalimantan over different plant spacing. The experiment was conducted at Kutai Kartanegara district in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The experimental design used was the factorial experiment in Randomized Completely Block Design (RCDB) with three replications. The first factor was six upland rice cultivars of East Kalimantan, i.e.: v 1 (Mayas Pancing), v 2 (Gedagai), v 3 (Bogor Putih), v 4 (Mayas Putih), v 5 (Serai) and v 6 (Kunyit). The second factor was plant spacing i.e.: j 1 (20 x 20 cm) and j 2 (30 x 30 cm). The results showed that among the six cultivars, Gedagai, Bogor Putih and Kunyit produced higher yield than other varieties. Gedagai and Bogor Putih cultivars produced higher yield of 2.99 ton ha -1 at plant spacing 20 x 20 cm, whereas Kunyit produced higher yield of 2.66 ton ha -1 at plant spacing 30 x 30 cm. The agronomic characters showed that plant height of the six cultivars differed significantly at harvest time. In addition, highly significant differences of harvest time were observed of the six cultivars. Doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.12777/ijse.4.2.2013.66-68

Legal Complexity in Natural Resource Management in the Frontier Mahakam Delta of East Kalimantan, Indonesia

It is widely perceived that many governments in developing countries do not exercise effectively their resource control strategies over natural resources use. In coastal areas in particular control has been ineffective on a large scale. As a result in these jurisdictions coastal resource use continues to occur with little or no compliance with existing laws and regulations. Two primary conditions that facilitate such noncompliance include a lack of legal implementation and law enforcement, and administrative competition. Local government officials, particularly street-level bureaucrats, have tended not to hold resource users responsible for noncompliance with formal rules, but instead have tended to sympathize with resource users and report that they understand the reasons for non compliance. This attitude often leads to the establishment of actual resource tenure. This article describes the many arguments that local government officials in Kutai Kartanegara district, Kalimantan, Indonesia, have presented to justify their support of actual resource use. The article analyses why government officials at the local level may sympathize so strongly with actual resource use, and analyses the likely implications of these views on the coastal mangrove ecosystem in the area.

The aim of the study was to get the best of soaking time and drying method at farm level which is suitable in respect to processing method and meet the International quality standard for pepper from International Pepper Community (IPC). 100 kg of pepper berries from 8-9 months age was used for each combination treatment. The study was designed as randomized Block Designed, with two replications, and replication I and II are used as the block. The treatments applied consist of: (A) soaking period: 6 (A1), 7 (A2) and 8 (A3) days, and (B) drying methods: improved sunlight method (B1), and mechanical drying at 45-60oC (B2). White pepper produced by farmers from Batuah village, Kutai Kartanegara District, East Kalimantan Province where the study was conducted was used as control. Parameters observed were color, essential oil content, light berries content, extraneous matter, black berries content, and microbe content (TPC, fungi/yeast, Coliform and Salmonella spp). The result showed that the quality of white pepper produced by improved processing technology was better than the one produced by traditional method. White pepper produced has brighter color, oil content is higher than the ISO standard/R 959 (2.3-3.1%), water content is less than IPC WP-1 standard (10.4-12.3%), TPC less than IPC is standard (1.75x102-3.48x103 CFU/g) and free from Salmonella contamination.Key words: technology, processing, white pepper

Analisis Potensi Wisata Berbasis Budaya dengan Pendekatan Community Based Tourism (CBT) di Desa Budaya Lung Anai, Kutai Kartanegara

In 2005 Lung Anai Village was inaugurated by the Government of Kutai Kartanegara Regency as a cultural village based on the survey results and the cultural uniqueness of the Dayak Kenyah Tribe. Thus,on July 25, 2007 Lung Anai was established as a definitive village that stood alone by the Decree of the Kukar Regent No. 180,188 / HK-794/2007. The stipulation is expected to be able to boost economic development for the welfare of the community and increase the Kukar Regional Original Income (PAD) as well as to preserve the culture of Dayak Kenyah Lepoq Jalan tribes in Lung Anai Village. But in reality the goal has not been realized properly, until this year Lung Anai has not become a leading destination in Kukar. If observed in the literature, there is still a considerable gap with other cultural / tourist villages that have developed even independent in East Kalimantan. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the tourism potentials of Lung Abai village based on culture by conducting a community-based tourism (CBT) approach or community-based tourism. In addition, this research is also expected to be able to provide theoretical and technical recommendations for the Regional Government of Kutai Kartanegara District and stakeholders who have a common interest in developing the Lung Anai Cultural Village.

PROSPEK PENGEMBANGAN KERJASAMA ANTAR DAERAH KABUPATEN/KOTA DI KALIMANTAN TIMUR DALAM PENYELENGGARAAN URUSAN PEMBANGUNAN DAN PELAYANAN MASYARAKAT

The promulgation of extended-decentralization policy has brought about the competition climate among district/city governments in delivering public services. The capacity to accomplish public tasks, however, tends to be insufficient. That’s why, regional-cooperation-based management is believed as the paramount mode to minimize local government’s shortage on the one hand, and to improve public accountability and performance on the other hand. In the East Kalimantan case, the tradition of conducting public affairs through collaborative management seems to be disregarded. Nevertheless, the prospect to intensify regional cooperation is fairly promising. This paper examines the likely development cooperation among three autonomous regions, i.e. Bontang City, East Kutai District, and Kutai Kartanegara District, the Bosanggarong (Bontang, Sangatta, and Tenggarong) Development Forum. The study has been highlighted on three dimension of development: provision of basic infrastructure facilities (public works), environmental management, and garbage / waste-disposal services.
