Potensi Dan Paradigma Nazir Terhadap Aset Wakaf Tanah Di Kabupaten Tapanuli Selatan

Land waqf is one of the pillars in solving the problem of economic disparities in the ummah. This can be realized if the land waqf is managed properly and productively. In order for waqf assets to be more productive and more effective, it depends on how the nazirs are managed. Therefore, the nazir must build a new paradigm in the management of waqf assets. From the land waqf data in South Tapanuli Regency, the potential for land waqf reaches 411 hectares. However, this potential means nothing for the economic development of the ummah. even consumptive only for places of worship. Meanwhile in the Constitution, Government Regulation and KHI fully support land waqf must be developed in support of the economy and managed productively according to sharia by the nazir concerned. This research is a qualitative research with descriptive form. Data collection techniques are observation, interview and documentation. Data processing techniques are data editing and data reduction and drawing conclusions. Keywods: Potential, Paradigm, Land Waqf

Study on zooplankton diversity aquatic ecobiology of Batang Toru River, North Sumatera, Indonesia

The Batang Toru River is a fairly long river, flowing from the North Tapanuli region and emptying into the Indian Ocean (South Tapanuli Regency). Increased deforestation in the Batang Toru River area has increased the potential for decreasing water quality of the Batang Toru River. The purpose of this study was to determine the condition of the water quality of the Batang Toru River. This research was conducted for 3 months (April, July, October), in the Batang Toru River and its surroundings (14 observation stations scattered from the area near the upstream to the coast). The data analysis used in this research is the analysis of the abundance and composition of the types of phytoplankton, the Diversity Index (H’), the Evennes Index (E), and the Dominance Index (C). Based on the research results, zooplankton in these waters consist of Six Phylum of zooplankton, such as Ciliophora (4 genera), Amoebozoa (2 genera), Cercozoa (1 genera), Rotifera (9 genera), Arthopoda (3 genera), and Annelida (2 genera). Diversity, Evenness, and Dominance Indices were around 0.349-1.847, 0.503-0.994 and 0.240-0.802. Based on the index value, it can be concluded that the Batang Toru River is classified as experiencing moderate ecological pressure.

IMPROVING CITRONELLA OIL PROCESSING MARKET ACCESS FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES TO OVERCOME

Citronella oil production has been developed by the Regional Government of the South Tapanuli District through the Forest Management Unit (KPH), the Agriculture Office and the Industry Office. For KPH, this program serves to gradually replace oil palm smallholdings in forest areas. For the Agriculture and Industry Offices, this program is intended to increase farmer income, especially during the Covid19 Pandemic. However, businesses have faltered as citronella oil prices dropped dramatically. Many farmers cannot survive and temporarily close their business. This is mainly caused by the limited market access of farmers due to an inadequate business scale and production quality. To overcome such a condition, farmers need to have a strong smallholder institution with a sufficient economic scale, as well as good coordination among stakeholders. This activity was carried out for 3 months through online and offline meetings. Farmers were introduced to both export and local market accesses. However, to utilize these opportunities farmers need to have a strong and adequate farmer institution. Through the Forum Group Discussion, progressive farmers and processors were gathered with farmers from 3 other sub districts, as well as other stakeholders related to the improvement of market access. The results showed that farmers and other stakeholders agreed to jointly support the development of the citronella oil industry in South Tapanuli. The FGD ended with the commitment of farmers and all stakeholders to form a South Tapanuli Citronella Oil multi-stakeholders Forum to improve the ability to deal with market fluctuations in the future.

Integrasi Iptek Dengan Imtaq pada Pelajaran MIA di MAN Insan Cendekia Tapanuli Selatan

The dichotomy of science in madrasa, science and technology material has not been integrated with Islam and vice versa. Habibie founded Insan Scholar to unite IPTEK with IMTAQ, and MAN IC South Tapanuli was no exception. This study aims to describe, discover, and explain the integration of IPTEK white IMTAQ of MIA subject groups in MAN Insan Cendekia South Tapanuli. The conclusions of this study are: The curriculum integration implemented at MAN Insan Cendekia South Tapanuli is the development of a curriculum set by the government. There are two patterns used by teachers in curriculum integration, namely Islamization of general science, and Spiritualization of learning. This can be seen from the integration steps contained in the plan, implementation, and evaluation of the program, namely: 1) Read greetings and prayers, 2) Apperception and ensure students memorize Qur’an and Hadith, 3) Review material from a general and Islamic angle, 4) Bringing students out of the room for natural learning, 5) Providing exercises and questions that can improve IPTEK and IMTAQ, 6) Motivation and re-awareness that all truth comes from God, 7) Closed with Kafaratul Majelis prayers and greetings.

Ecolexicone and Morphology in Mandailing Agriculture Community

This study aimed to analyze the ecolexicon and morphology by typology in the community of Mandailing (BM) agriculture. Qualitative methods were used. Data were collected using several stages such as interviews, self-examination, documenting and note-taking. The study was carried out in areas where income was dominated by farming, precisely in South Tapanuli Regency. The results showed that the biotic environment in the lexicon was 36 or around 70.5%, and the abiotic environment was 15 or around 29.5%. The typology of words was dominated by nominal (39), verbs (7), and adjectives (2). Based on the exposure to ecolexicon forms and typologies found in the Mandailing language, several conclusions can be drawn: the lexicon found in BM has affixations such as prefixes (si-); there are other prefixes (ma-, mam-, mar-, mang-); and the suffix form (-on) is often used to express farming activities, when associated with nouns, which is an activity that is carried out to indicate the type of rice and banana. The main reason for the loss of the lexicon is that many traditional activities have been replaced by modern means.

Characteristics of the Tapanuli Orangutan Habitat in the Conflict Area of Batang Toru Landscape, North Sumatra, Indonesia

Forest fragmentation has resulted in decreased wildlife habitat, which has triggered conflicts with humans due to the use of the same plants. This has been particularly contentious with the tapanuli orangutan. Research of the tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) habitat is very limited. The aims of this research is to examine the latest habitat conditions, such as land cover, composition of vegetation, feed plant, and habitat carrying capacity to provide recommendations for habitat management in developing a mitigation policy of the human-tapanuli orangutan conflict. The research location is focused on the area of human-orangutan conflict in the Batang Toru Landscape in South Tapanuli Regency, which took place from August to December 2019. Vegetation analysis was conducted using the strip transect method with a total of 294 plots (11.76 ha). The number of species at the pole and tree levels were high with 149 species (46 families) and diversity index (H') > 3. Eighty feed plant species were found and expected to support the growth of the orangutan population of 247 individuals. The density and diversity of cultivated plant species in the buffer zone were high and consumption by orangutans resulted in human-tapanuli orangutan conflict, especially on durian (Durio zibethinus Murray). Conflict with humans will cause stress and disruption to the growth of the tapanuli orangutan. We recommend habitat management to mitigate conflict through patrols for monitoring habitat destruction in conservation forests, enrichment of feed plants in Forest Management Units, cultivation of orangutan non-food crops on community lands, and building a corridor with orangutan food crops with fruits that are not utilized by humans.

Population structure of woody plant in malaka (Phyllanthus emblicata) habitat, Padang bolak, North Sumatra

Malaka is a wild plant that generally grows in subtropical and tropical regions including India, Thailand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, China and Indonesia. In Indonesia, this plant found disjunct in Java, Ternate and North Sumatra. Malacca seed is known as traditional medicine for diabetes, cancer, liver, ulcers and anemia. People in South Tapanuli also used the leaf as traditional food ingredients. Information regarding to distribution and habitat of Malacca in North Sumatra is still quite limited. Therefore our research aims to determine the population structure and malacca association in Padang Bolak Julu. The population structure and plant species associations were conducted through vegetation analysis by purposive sampling and the association is calculated using the Ochiai, Dice, and Jackard index values. The results showed that the malaka IVI at the level of seedlings, saplings, poles and trees were 150.35, 131.83, 112.04 and 102.23, respectively. Malaka plants are high association patterns and positively associated with P. obovatum in the location.

Characteristics and community perception on mitigation of Human-Tapanuli Orangutans conflict around Dolok Sipirok Natural Reserve, South Tapanuli

The frequency of human-tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) conflict has been increased with the widespread on degradation and fragmentation at Batangtoru Forest, South Tapanuli Regency. Orangutans often come on community lands to look for food, especially while the durian fruit season. This study aims to obtain information on socio-economic characteristics and public perception index to mitigate on human-tapanuli orangutan conflict around the Dolok Sipirok Nature Reserve, South Tapanuli Regency. Data was collected using a questionnaire distribution, interviews and descriptive observations, starting from October 2019 to January 2020. Respondents were selected by purposively sampling method, i.e. people had met and interacted with orangutans as many as 61 respondents from three villages. Data analyzed using frequency tables, likers scale and spearman rank correlation. The results showed that the community is Muslim majority, productive age, education below senior high school, farmers and income below IDR. 4,000,000. The public perception has declared orangutans as animals that consume community plants. They will drive away the orangutans found in processed land. The perception of conflict mitigation has strongly agreed with the program that must be done including providing compensation for losses, increasing patrol programs, developing local wisdom and building corridors in state forests. The characteristics were a significant (α <0.01) influence on the perception index assessment i.e. the level of education, household member and family income.
