Influence of Local Wisdom and Culture Approach Strategy on CSR Implementation in Klayas Village

Klayas Village is one of the daerah terpencils in the Seget District which is the Ring 1 area of ​​Company X. Most of the Klayas community is the Moi Tribe indigenous people who make their living from the sago forest. Since its establishment in 1997, Company X has actively and routinely carried out charity-based CSR activities in Klayas Village. Since 2019, the CSR program of Company X has changed in concept from Charity to a sustainable CSR program which consists of various activities. The people of Klayas Village have difficulty adapting to the new CSR scheme, resulting in resistance. In addition, the implemented program is not in accordance with community habits. In response to this rejection, in 2020, Company X implemented a strategy of approaching local wisdom and traditional culture of the Moi Tribe to increase community enthusiasm. This has proven to be more effective in increasing community participation. It can be seen from the programs implemented in 2020 that are still relevant and sustainable until 2022. The number of beneficiaries is much larger and more comprehensive. This strategy can also increase cohesiveness between the company-community and between members of the community itself.

Potential of sago products supporting local food security in South Sulawesi

Indonesia still relies on rice as a staple food, while at this time to meet the people’s needs for rice, the government still has to import it. Sago is one of the local foods that can meet the needs of the community as a food. This review aims to gather information on the current status of sago production in South Sulawesi, including the advantages and disadvantages of sago as a staple and the type of food technology required to produce the staple food. The advantage of sago compared to other carbohydrate sources is that the sago plant or sago forest is ready to be harvested if desired. Sago can be used for food or non-food purposes. One of the uses of sago for food is sago flour, starch, and various processed food products.Meanwhile, for non-food needs, sago can be used as bioethanol and single-cell protein. Sago has disadvantages as a staple food due to lacking other nutrients such as protein and fat. Thus, in sago processing, the addition of other ingredients must be considered to meet these deficiencies.

Soil properties and infiltration rate in sago palm (Metroxylon sago) forest in Rongkong Watershed South Sulawesi

Sago palm, one of the dominant wetland vegetation in the Rongkong Watershed, contributes to groundwater recharge through its ability to pass water into the ground. This study aims to determine the effect of sago forest canopy density on the infiltration rate in the middle and downstream zones of the Rongkong Watershed in South Sulawesi. Other independent variables were soil texture, permeability, bulk density, porosity, soil organic matter, initial soil moisture, water level, air temperature, and air humidity. The relationship between the independent variables on the infiltration rate was analyzed using multiple linear regression. Infiltration rate observes with ponded infiltration method at five density classes of sago forest. The results showed that the infiltration rate in the middle stream increased along with the increase of density classes of sago forests. The downstream, on the other hand, has an insignificant difference between density classes. The result of the regression analysis showed that the coefficient of determination in the middle and downstream zones was 64.5 % and 38.5 %, respectively. The simultaneous test of variable significance in the middle stream shows that the sago forest canopy density, groundwater level, initial soil moisture, and air humidity significantly affect a p-value <0.05.

Effect of initial bacteria cells number and fermentation time on increasing nutritive value of sago flour

Indonesia is the largest sago feedstock in the world. There are about 2 millions ha sago forest that approximately half of the world's sago forest is present in Indonesia. Naturally, sago spreads widely in Papua, while semi-cultivation is in Maluku, Sulawesi, Borneo, and Sumatra. The species sago (Metroxylon sago) was used in this study. It has a relatively high starch content (95.99%) with low amylose content (20.61%) and low protein content (1.63%). Modified sago flour is a product from sago flour that modified with fermentation to increase the nutritional value of the sago flour. It can be used as a gluten free flour and low-calorie food products. The bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum) was used in the fermentation. However, the color of the modified sago flour is off-white, if the fermentation time is too long. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effect of fermentation time and initial bacteria cells number on increasing nutritive value of sago flour. The variables used were fermentation times (12, 24, and 36 h) and initial bacteria cells number (7 x 1010, 7 x 1011, 1.05 x 1012, and 3,05 1012 cells of L. plantarum). The result showed that amylose and protein content increased from 20.61% to 33,06% and from 1.41% to 4.11%, respectively, with bacterial variables of 3,5 x 1012 and fermentation time of 36 h.

Transdisciplinary research on local community based sago forest development model for food security and marginal land utilization in the coastal area

The most important issue in food security in Indonesia is limited land area which suitable for food crops. While production already reached its highest potency. Eastern part of Indonesia seems to have hidden answer for the food security issues. Sago plant is origin from Indonesia. Sulawesi is known by its unique semi-cultivated system in food production. This paper will describe the transdisciplinary approach in developing a model of sago plant development based on local community. The model is derived based on the research findings related to characteristic of semi-cultivation of sago plant as follows: (a) Sago in Tana Luwu only 3463,36 ha, most of the land already converted to fishpond, and plantation (b) Semi cultivated sago forest produce 24 tons dry sago/year, 4 times than paddy in dryland, (c) Transdisciplinary research method enables the triple helix collaboration of University, Industry and Government, and (d) Collaborative action is a key to bind the stakeholders, in this case the Plan and Design of Sago Science techno park worked effectively. (e) Several government regulations and local community activities have been born at different level.

Kandungan Pati pada Tiga Fase Pertumbuhan Sagu (Metroxylon sagu Rottb)

The purpose of this research is to determine the starch content in three phase of sago growth. Sago type used was sago thorn from sago forest in Sorong Regency. The method used is the experimental with observation techniques. The observed growth phase that is full trunk, bolting, and young fruiting. Observation yield of starch made in every section of sago trunk. From the result of these calculation are used to calculate the starch content per tree. The result showed that yield of starch in each section of sago trunk varies depending on the its growth phase. The average yield of starch in all phases of growth ranged from 9,80 to 16,40% and include the category �low�. While the starch yield per tree in all phase of growth ranged from 231,99 � 296,59 kg per tree and include the category �medium�.

Variant-I Mesin Pemarut Sagu Tipe Silinder Bertenaga Motor Bakar

Papua and West Papua Provinces have a very large potential of sago. Approximately 994.000 hectares, mostly natural sago forest was existed in these areas. Sago starch has long been important source of nutrition throughout Papua. Product of sago palm is not only starch as source of carbohydrate for foodstuff, but also for basic material of industries such as paper, plywood, hardboard, and food industries. Traditional sago processing have been done by local people was very labourish and inefficient. The effort to increase sago starch production could be carry out by introducing mechanical sago processing equipment. The objective of this research was to modify cylinder type of sago rasper powered by internal combustion engine. The result was variant-1 of mechanical sago rasper. In general, most component of variant-1 almost the same with former prototype except the size of cylinder�s teeth. Variant-1 has bigger cylinder�s teeth than former prototype one. The performance of variant-1 are (1) effective rasper capacity 418 kg per hour, (2) percentage of starch yield was 38,23%, and (3) starch losses in hampas is 4%.

Challenge Of Sago (Metroxylon Sp) As Papua Food Identity

&lt;p&gt;People of Papua have many kinds of staple foods, such as sago and tubers which are consumed based on area of living. Sago is a staple food for People in coastal and swampy areas, otherwise mostly people in mountainous area consume tubers. Local foods become seldom and expensive. This study was done by field study and reference study at August to September 2013 to collect information about sago and its existence in local people’s life in Teluk Wondama Regency and Jayapura Regency. The study found that there were changing on local people’s diet pattern including changing of position in market place from produser to consumer, and changing of sago forest to other functions.&lt;/p&gt;

Impacts of Industry Towards the Structure of Customary Land Tenure on the Natural Sago Forest in Imekko, Sorong Selatan Regency-West Papua

The goal of the research is to assess structural dynamics of customary land tenure in Imeko communities as a result of emergence regarding the operations of PT ANJ-AgriPapua and PerumPerhutani in Sorong Selatan Regency. The objectives are as follows: (1) to identify and map the structure of customatyland tenure rightsover the Natural Sago Forest (NSF) in Imekko; (2) to identify and mapstuructural dynamics of customary land tenure on the NSF in relation with the emergence of PT ANJ-Agri Papua and PerumPerhutani in Imekko. The research reveals that the customary land tenure exists under communal and collective ownership with regard to <i>keret/fam</i> (family names). Local communities are entitled with rights to access, collect forest products, use, control, manage, transfer and release, reclaim, and own their land. Individuals who do not have rights over the customary land are able to acquire ownership after obtaining permission with or without compensation on the line. In the case of Dusun Sagu, ownership belongs to family groups (member of nuclear family). Inheritanceon the NSF and Dusun Sagu are passed downtosons, or to the <i>keret/fam</i>, heirsof the family who cultivated the land. Moreover, the research finds that the structures of customary land tenure among Imekko communities are changing due to the emergence of PT ANJ-Agri Papua and Perum Perhutani in the area. From the eight rights that have been practiced for generations, only three rights remain: rights for limited access, use, and collecting forest products in the concession area of the factories. The community groups are supported to utilize these rights in order to meet their basics needs as well as and to generate income through forest utilization.

Changes in Plant Species during Succession in a Sago Forest

The variation in solar environments during succession in sago forests is thought to affect the growth of many plant species. To clarify the pattern of plant colonization in sago forests at various successional stages, we constructed eleven 10 m × 10 m quadrats in different solar conditions in sago forests, measured and calculated the relative illumination intensity, collected all plant species in these quadrats, and used two chloroplast gene sequences—the rbcL gene of ferns and the trnL intron of angiosperms to molecularly identify them. The number of ferns increased while the number of herbaceous species decreased during the process of succession. Moreover, the number of woody species was not significantly correlated with the relative light intensity. Based on these results, it can be concluded that woody species colonized and grew at various successional stages but herbaceous species and ferns did the same in the early and late successional stages, respec-tively, in the sago forest.

Tropical Forest Biodiversity to Provide Food, Health and Energy Solution of the Rapid Growth of Modern Society

Indonesia is home to some of the most magnificent tropical forests and a unique biological richness. The major forest types of Indonesia range from evergreen lowland forests in Sumatra and Kalimantan to seasonal monsoon forests and savanna grasslands in Nusa Tenggara and alpine areas in Papua. Indonesia also contains the most extensive mangrove forests in the world, estimated at 4.25 million hectares in the early 1990s. The value of biodiversity to provide alternative solution to the basic human needs(food, health and energy) is not being explored yet. Sago forest in Papua, wild species of palm in East Nusa Tenggara and nipahalong the coast, and diverse species on lowland forest of Sumatera should have a potential value for future food alternative which could be dedicated to adapt and mitigate global climate change. Diverse plant species and microbial genetic resourceshave medicinal properties and may provide solution to the current and future health issues. Furthermore, biomass include micro- algaecontain oil thatmay be used as raw materials for biodiesel. Some wild plant species can easily be converted to monomeric sugar whichshould be of interest for future feedstock of biomass base energy production and avoiding conflict with food production, while improving quality of the environment.
