Abstract. Antoh AA, Arifin NHS, Chozin MA, Arifin HS. 2019. Agricultural biodiversity and economic productivity of the yards in Arguni Bawah, Kaimana District, West Papua Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1020-1026. Papua Island, Indonesia has abundance of agricultural biological resources. This is reflected in a variety of agricultural products in different parts of the area and in the use of yards, which is not fully utilized. This study was aimed at mapping the agricultural biodiversity of the yards, as well as measuring their economic productivity. The study area was Arguni Bawah Sub-district, Kaimana District, West Papua Province, Indonesia, and the study was conducted from November 2017 to March 2018. The average number of plant species recorded from yards were 13, number of individuals being 72 in an average yard size of 696 m2. The smallest yard was 231 m2 with only three species and 4 individuals. The maximum number of species found were 26 with 267 individuals. The maximum size of yards studied was 3,000 m2. There are five functional types of plants with high density and SDR, there are the species producing starch (taro and banana), vegetables (gedi and spinach), fruits (banana) and ornamentals, among others. The Shanon-Wiener diversity index (H´) ranged from 1.8 to 2.5, indicating that the biodiversity of plant species in the yards may be interpreted as abundant or moderate. The evaluation of economic productivity showed that average cash income received by households from yards was Rp.7,693,000.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan menghasilkan nilai keberlanjutan berdasarkan presepsi masyarakat terhadap aspek ekologi, sosial budaya dan  spiritual.  Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah wawancara dengan teknik wawancara. Penilaian keberlanjutan masyarakat atau community sustainability assessment (CSA) dilakukan di 15 kampung sampel peneltian. Setiap kampung dipilih 10 anggota masyarakat yang representatif dan metode pemilihan responden secara sengaja (puposive sampling). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kampung Jawera (1035) progres yang sangat baik menuju keberlanjutan dan dapat dijadikan sebagai kampung percontohan untuk penilaian keberlanjutan masyarakat. Aspek sosial dan spiritual menampilkan penilaian yang cukup baik dibandingkan dengan aspek ekologis.  Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini bahwa 14 kampung perlu didorong agar dapat berkelanjutan dengan belajar dari kampung contoh dengan cara meningkatkan komponen-komponen dalam aspek ekologis, sosial dan spiritual agar dapat berkelanjutan.Kata kunci: Penilaian keberlanjutan, Arguni bawah, Kabupaten Kaimana ABSTRACT This study aims to generate sustainability value based on the perception of society on ecological, socio-cultural and spiritual aspects. The method in this research is a close interview. Community sustainability assessment (CSA) was undertaken in 15 sample research villages. Each village was chosen by 10 representative members of the community and the method of selecting respondents intentionally (purposive sampling). The results show that Jawera village (1035) is a very good progress towards sustainability and can serve as a pilot village for community sustainability assessment. Social and spiritual aspects display a fairly good judgment compared to ecological aspects. The conclusion in this research is that 14 villages need to be encouraged to be sustainable by learning from sample villages by improving components in ecological, social and spiritual aspects in order to be sustainable.Keywords: Sustainability assessment, Arguni bawah, Kaimana DistrictSitasi : Antoh, A.A., Arifin, N.H.S, Chozin, M.A. dan Arifin, H.S (2018).

The Papuan people have always lived and interacted with the forest. The forest is a place to live where almost all of their needs are taken from the forest. Today's forest management has far-reaching impacts on increasingly marginalized communities. The purpose of this paper is to present thoughts on a community-friendly forest management model by taking into account the advantages and disadvantages when forests are managed by communities to improve their welfare. This paper generates an idea about the importance of collaborative management to increase the role of the community as a solution. Taking into account the communal nature of the forest tenure system in Papua, it is necessary to take strategic steps to protect forest resources in a targeted manner.

Pemanfaatan pekarangan di rumah berpotensi menjadi sumber pangan serta gizi keluarga. Sayur-sayuran menjadi salah satu tanaman yang cocok dikembangkan di pekarangan rumah tanpa harus melakukan perjalanan yang jauh ke lahan perkebunan dengan luasan yang lebih besar untuk mengembangkan tanaman sayuran. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan PKM ini adalah ceramah dan FGD. Masyarakat kampung Yoboi Kehiran I sangat antusias dalam mengikuti kegiatan PKM, dimana mereka sangat merespon dengan baik apa yang disampaikan. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan secara aktif bertanya dan menyampaikan pendapat. Hampir sekitar 60% dari masyarakat yang mengikuti kegiatan PKM telah memanfaatkan pekarangan mereka dalam pengembangan tanaman sayuran. Setelah mengikuti kegiatan PKM tersebut, maka masyarakat telah berkomitmen untuk mengoptimalkan pekarangan mereka masing-masing dalam pengembangan tanaman sayuran agar dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup keluarga. Hasil monitoring dan evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa komitmen yang telah disepakati sejak kegiatan pelatihan dilaksanakan ternyata diwujudkan dengan adanya kegiatan persemaian dan penanaman. Hingga kini, beberapa kepala keluarga (KK) telah berhasil melakukan penanaman dan menunjukkan hasil yang baik. Bahkan beberapa jenis sayuran tertentu sudah sampai pada tahapan pemanenan.

The biodiversity of plants in the tropical forests of Papua is the time to be conserved using the yard approach. These plants have ecological benefits for environmental sustainability but also as wildlife habitat. The plants that are planted around community homes now also have an economic impact on the family to improve the family's economy. This study aims to obtain the value of yard biodiversity based on vertical diversity (strata) and functional diversity (horizontal) and to determine its benefits. Data collection using vegetation analysis methods and calculation of biodiversity values using the Shanon and Wiener indices. The results of the study are that there are 2 very dominant types of plants in the yard, namely areca nut (Areca catechu L.) with a summed dominance ratio (SDR) of 58.4-66.2. For other types there are Moringa (Moringa oleifera) with (SDR) 10.8. The conclusion of the dominant areca nut and moringa is closely related to culture and the two plants currently support economically for increasing the income of families in the village.
