INCREASING INCOME OF CHICKEN FARMERS THROUGH TRAINING ON THE USE OF SIDE PRODUCTS OF LAYERING CHICKENS IN NORTH KONAWE DISTRICT

The laying hen farming business is one of the businesses that has great potential to be developed in North Konawe Regency, considering that the need for eggs from the people of North Konawe Regency is quite high. The supply and demand for eggs is sometimes unbalanced where demand is higher, so that to meet the need for eggs, the people of North Konawe Regency have to import from outside the district and province. The growth of the laying hen farming business in North Konawe Regency is a positive thing for the regional economy, but on the other hand, laying hen breeders have relatively not looked at the other side of the laying hen farming business. Farmers only focus on the core business, namely producing as many eggs as possible, so the side products of the laying hen farming business are relatively sidelined. Side products can increase the income of laying hen farmers if managed well, but so far farmers have not realized that there are several products that can become side products from laying hen farms. Several problems related to the problems faced by laying hen farmers in North Konawe Regency, namely; Firstly, knowledge of laying hen breeders regarding the benefits and advantages of side products from livestock businesses is still relatively lacking. Second, the knowledge or ability of laying hen breeders in managing side products from the laying hen farming business is relatively minimal. Third, the marketing of various side products from the laying hen farming business is relatively not well segmented. This activity was carried out in Bendewuta Village, Oheo District, North Konawe Regency with 21 participants attending, consisting of laying hen breeders and the community. The resulting activity achievements are (1). Increased understanding of laying hen breeders about the benefits or advantages of managing Side Products of laying hens. (2).

The research location was in Mandiodo Village, North Konawe Regency. This research used a qualitative approach, and data was collected through observation and in-depth interviews with several community leaders and village government officials. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. The study results show that mining activities negatively impact the social, economic, and environmental lives of local communities in Mandiodo village. Nevertheless, a positive impact can be seen from the increase in the income of some people due to the diversification of the community's economic businesses: boarding house rental services, basic food stalls, and the opening of new jobs for local people to work in companies, as well as acculturation between immigrant and local communities. On the other hand, negative impacts are detrimental to local communities: flooding in residential areas during heavy rains and the threat of landslides, air pollution which can cause various respiratory tract infections, siltation of beaches and seawater pollution, decreased fishermen's income, and damaged roads and bridges. Efforts to overcome the company's negative impacts have not been appropriate because the compensation and recognition the company has provided to the community are not commensurate with the negative impacts that are still detrimental to local communities. The conclusion is that the existence of mining companies causes disasters and losses for local communities.

Spatial and temporal based deforestation proclivity analysis on flood events with applying watershed scale (case study: Lasolo watershed in Southeast Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, and South Sulawesi, Indonesia)

Flood often occurs triggered by the failure of the system in the hydrological cycle such as deforestation in the nearby watershed upstream. Analysis of flood handling in a watershed area requires spatial and temporal study to reveal more complex results. This study aims to analyze the development of deforestation and flood events in the Lasolo watershed and to investigate deforestation proclivity. Purposive sampling was applicable as the method to analyze the data for the case study. Premier data include quantitative data related to deforestation and flood events in the study area whilst the secondary data was obtained from relevant institutions. Moreover, data analysis techniques contain quantitative analysis (i.e. spatial-temporal analysis, descriptive-quantitative analysis), and inferential statistic analysis. The result proves three anomalous patterns in relation to deforestation nearby downstream, middle, and upstream of the Lasolo watershed and flood events around the downstream area or in North Konawe Regency, South-East Sulawesi Province. The first pattern reveals sufficient stability on the deforested land surface in 2006–2012 towards rain intensity when flooding, The second pattern claims a more generic response of the land surface to the rainfall in 2012–2017. The third pattern in 2018–2020 results relatively sensitive response against rain particularly when a flood occurs.
