The views (perceptions) of the people that live around this forest area, can provide benefits for economic and social improvement. On the other hand, it cannot be ruled out that the existence of people who have already lived and worked in this forest area have a perception that the area that they control is a place of survival and death. This condition has caused 79% of the total area of this forest to be degraded and converted into oil palm plantations, settlements, social facilities, public facilities, and community business facilities. This research method applies a naturalistic paradigm - qualitative approach design. The data collection technique is through interviews, observation, and documentation study. The data analysis techniques is descriptive with the formal and informal results of the study. The implementation of collaborative management is analyzed from four elements of collaboration, namely; institutional procedures and agreements, leadership, knowledge and resources. The research result shows that the implementation of collaborative management in the conservation forest area of Sultan Syarif Hasyim Forest Park, Riau Province is running optimally on the elements of procedures and institutional agreements, leadership, knowledge and resources. Such conditions can be an example for other forest area managers how to manage forests in a sustainable, ecologically fair manner and provide positive impacts for the community.","PeriodicalId":277026,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Social and Environmental Issues (IJSEI)","volume":" 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139137389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiments comprised soil depth (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm) and land cover type (arable land, pasture, 0, 2, and 4-year stand). A 5*2 factorial array of randomized complete block designs (RCBD) with 4 replicates made up the design. The physicochemical parameters of the selected soils were investigated using 40 (5*2*4) composite soil samples. A semi-structured questionnaire and a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to investigate selected farmers' perceptions of watershed hydrology. The results revealed that soil particle size (sand, silt, clay) and SOC concentration differed significantly across all land-use types and soil depths studied.

This study assesses hydrological impacts and future drought using three global climate models (ACCESS-ESM1-5, BCC-CSM2-MR, and MRI-ESM2-0) as part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) in the Aga-Foua-Djilas Basin. To this end, the hydrological impacts of climate change over 20-year periods (2021-2040; 2041-2060; 2061-2080; 2081-2100) at a resolution of 2.5 under four emission scenarios (SSP 126; 245; 370; 585), were investigated, and the drought characteristics are shown below, the SSP 245 and 585 scenarios over the 2021-2100 period. The results highlight a decrease in runoff potential given the drop in rainfall, which fell from 25.2 mm over the 2021-2040 period and under SSP 126 to 2.4 mm towards the end of the century (2081-2100) and under the SSP 585 scenario, changes in the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized precipitation and evapotranspiration index (SPEI) were first compared, and the SPEI showed larger changes due to its inclusion of temperature effects. The drought zone in the basin is likely to increase at the end of the 21st century with values approaching 80% for SPI and 90% for SPEI under the SSP 245 and SSP 585 scenarios if drought mitigation and adaptation mechanisms are inadequate.

Thematic analysis was adopted to analyze interview transcripts and revealed that lack of government support, financial barriers, lack of incentives to adopt EMA, and absence of guidance to adopt EMA are acting as barriers of SMEs in South Africa from adopting EMA. As a result, the study proposes various incentives such as tax concessions and discounts on eco-materials to encourage SME EMA adoption. Also, the government should take center-stage in making available green training and amplifying awareness of environmental management within SMEs in South Africa.

Deforestation has caused damage to these forest landscapes limiting their ability to provide ecosystem services like provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services. In response to this degradation issue, the concept of forest landscape restoration was introduced in 2000. This review aims to provide comprehensive studies of existing literature on the effect of forest landscape restoration and restoration time on reversing ecosystem service in Ethiopia. The goal is to inform evidence-based decision-making and guide research in this field. The review analyzed 16 studies conducted from 2011 to 2023 that covered aspects of forest landscape restoration. The findings indicated that these restorations had an impact on ecosystem services such as improving soil properties, storing carbon stack, enhancing species diversity, richness, evenness, and regeneration status, and benefiting community livelihood. However, the review found that most of the studies were limited to specific regions, little information on the cultural service, and there were inconsistencies in some research findings. In general, this study provides significant evidence supporting the importance of restoration as a viable strategy to rehabilitate degraded forest landscapes. It also highlights the importance of long-term monitoring and considering ecological conditions for sustainable restoration efforts in regaining ecosystem services.","PeriodicalId":277026,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Social and Environmental Issues (IJSEI)","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139141791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This results in a lack of understanding of their ecological importance, which is characterized by neglect in their management. The main objective of this study is to characterize the flora and woody vegetation of the community forests of Rogho and Boala to demonstrate their importance. For this purpose, a forest inventory was conducted using stratified random sampling methods. Shannon, Simpson, Margalef, and Pielou diversity indices reveal significant biodiversity of the flora in both forests, with a better distribution of individuals within the species that make them up. The horizontal structure of the two woody populations is characterized by a predominance of individuals with small diameters (DBH € [5cm-25cm[) on either side, with respective regeneration rates of 58.36% and 22.46% for Rogho and Boala. Regarding the ecological importance of species, Lannea microcarpa has the highest Importance Value Index (IVI = 99.06) for the Rogho site, and Vitellaria paradoxa for the Boala site (IVI = 136.58). Phanerophytes dominate the flora of both forests with a strong presence of mesophanerophytes. The average density of woody plants is evaluated at 330.34 trees/ha and 742.01 trees/ha respectively in Rogho and Boala, with respective average land areas of 14.8 m2/ha and 119.78 m2/ha.

The results of this research show an extended scenario of excessive use of groundwater for domestic purposes due to water table depletion. It presents a portfolio of the sufferings of domestic water users in the study area, not only during the load-shedding period but also during the lack of technical support. Few people are bound to use more contaminated pond water for applying artificial fish feed. Poor inhabitants who depend on others for domestic water are facing more critical conditions due to the inability to install deep-tube wells at a higher cost.
