Information of land suitability is needed to prioritize suitable forest plantation for land use development. This is important to increase land productivity and eficiency on forest management decision making process. This research aimed to: (1) to evaluate land suitability based on pedo-agroclimate characteristics for plantation forest development; (2) to identify the farming-based socio-cultural and economic characteristics; (3) to determine the priority level of trees that will be cultivated through plantation forest development. This research was conducted from January to May 2015 in four districts namely: Kapontori, Lasalimu, South Lasalimu, and Siotapina (KALALASSI region). These are located in Buton Island, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The research method used was a spatial research method using GIS [1];[3]. The research has three main activities: data collection, evaluation, and mapping. Data collection included data on land biophysics, climate, and forest management development using survey method. Land evaluation was carried out on FAO method [14] and [15]. The major of trees were determined using LQ method [16] and the priority level of trees determine using MCDM method through the application of AHP [3];[4]. The last but not the least, spatial data development was used to map recommended forest land uses. The results showed that: (1) there were three major of trees in the research area, namely: Teak, Mahogany and Silk Tree; (2) based on land suitability classification, there are two classes found in the KALALASSI region, namely: moderately suitable (S2) which were located 3,836.05 ha for Teak and Mahagony, and Marginally Suitable (S3), which are located 3,343.45 ha for Teak, 3,467.20 ha for Mahagony, and 10,106.22 ha for Silk Tree; (3) the sequence of trees priority in KALALASSI region is Teak, Silk Tree, and Mahogany, then based on these recommendation, forest land uses and management plan were developed.

This study aims to determine the mechanism, level of participation, financial analysis in following the delayed logging program in community forests. The research was located in the community forests of Watudemba and Ulu Lakara villages, Konawe Selatan District from April to May 2018. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, direct communication with 16 respondents and bibliographical studies. n addition, measurements were made by making 17 sample plots of teak stands (Tectona grandis L.f). The data analysis uses quantitative and qualitative methods. The results showed that: 1) The delay logging program mechanism consists of three stages, namely agreeing and signing a pending felling program agreement, distribution and loan repayment. 2) While the level of community participation in participating in the delayed cutting program at the planning stage (moderate-high, 81.25%), organizing (moderate-high, 68, 75%), implementation (moderate-high, 81.25%), as well as supervision and evaluation (moderate-high, 56.25%). 3) NPV value obtained is Rp. 266,811,200,-; BCR value obtained was 5.29; and the IRR value obtained by 37% over the age of the analysis of twenty years.This study aims to determine the mechanism, level of participation, financial analysis in following the delayed logging program in community forests.

Perbaikan lingkungan dengan penanaman mangrove berbasis masyarakat untuk mendukung wisata pesisir dilatar belakangi oleh garis pantai mengalami kemunduran dengan tingginya erosi pantai, kurangnya sentuhan iptek dalam pengelolaan mangrove, masyarakat tidak memiliki mata pencaharian alternatif dan kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat untuk menjaga dan memelihara lingkungan. Tujuan program ini adalah terbentuknya unit pemberdayaan masyarakat terhadap ekosistem mangrove, menjadikan ekosistem mangrove sebagai wisata pesisir untuk meningkatkan pendapatan daerah, kesejahteraan masyarakat dan kelestarian alam. Metode yang digunakan meliputi: 1) metode perencanaan: survei lokasi, perijinan, wawancara, pemberian kuesioner, 2) metode pelaksanaan: penyuluhan, pembentukan unit lembaga, pembibitan, persemaian, penanaman dan kerja bakti bersih pantai dan 3) metode evaluasi: meminimalisir kelemahan dan hambatan selama kegiatan berlangsung. Program dilaksanakan pada Juli 2019 di desa Tapulaga kecamatan Soropia kabupaten Konawe. Hasil program yang dicapai: persepsi masyarakat banyak yang setuju desa Tapulaga menjadi daerah ekowisata mangrove, terbentuknya Sahabat Mangrove Desa Tapulaga sebagai lembaga pengelola mangrove dan lembaga pendukung lainya seperti kelompok Pengawas Pesisir Wahana Lestari dan kelompok Nelayan Lestari, bertambahnya 1 unit bedeng persemaian mangrove yang baru yang dapat dijadikan lahan bisnis untuk dijual, penambahan jumlah area kawasan hutan mangrove desa Tapulaga dengan melalui 1000 bibit pohon mangrove yang ditanam dan berkurangnya sampah plastik melalui kerja bakti bersih pantai desa Tapulaga.Kata Kunci: Desa Tapulaga; mangrove; pesisir; wisata Environmental Improvement with Community-Based Mangrove Planting to Support Coastal Tourism in Tapulaga Village ABSTRACT Improvement of the environment by planting community-based mangroves to support coastal tourism due to the shoreline has deteriorated with high coastal erosion, lack of science and technology touches in mangrove management, the community lacks alternative livelihoods and lack of community awareness to protect and preserve the environment. The purpose of this program is the formation of a community empowerment unit for mangrove ecosystems, making mangrove ecosystems as coastal tourism to increase regional income, community welfare and nature conservation. The methods used include: 1) planning methods: location surveys, permits, interviews, questionnaires, 2) implementation methods: counseling, the establishment of institutional units, nurseries, nurseries, planting and beach clean service work and 3) evaluation methods: minimizing weaknesses and obstacles during the activity.

The purposes of this research were to: (1) analyze the suboptimal land availability and its suitability for food crops; (2) to identify the major and prime food crops; (3) analyze the socio-cultural and economic characteristics of farmers in order to develop local based climate change adaptation strategy and to prioritize major food crops using multi-criteria approach; (4) to promote sustainable crop and land management, through the local specific technologies dealing with the constraints of the Kalalasi Region. As regional based study, this research used overlaid maps of thematic lands, undertaken on suboptimal-land area with dry-climate at Kalalasi Region, Southeast Sulawesi. This study employed a spatial analysis method using GIS. Data collection included data on land biophysics, climate, and farming-based socio-culture and economic, using biophysical and social economic survey method. Land evaluation was carried out using FAO method. The major food crops were identified and analyzed using LQ method. Then, Multi-Criteria Decision Method (MCDM) through an application of AHP was used to promote sustainable crop and land management at the Kalalasi Region. The results of this research showed that: (1) Kalalasi Region had relatively varied characteristics of land biophysic, climate, socio-culture and economic, (2) Potential land availability for the development of food crops was ha, where the land suitability level of S2 (moderately suitable) of ha, S3 (marginally suitable) of ha, and the rest was N1 and N2, (3) there were eight major food crops in the research area, namely: maize, cassava, upland rice, soy bean, sweet potato, ground nut, green bean, and paddy rice, (4) prime or excellent food crops in research area were varied among regions (sub-districts), however, in general, it was concluded that there were four prime food crops, namely: cassava, maize, upland rice, and paddy rice, (5) productive and sustainable crop pattern and land management can be achieved through the application of multiple cropping system, planting diversification, and appropriate planting date for the period of December, January, February, and March, using drought resistant cultivar, and several other efforts for adaptation and conservation, such as mulching and cover crops, to deal with climate change. These were conducted to maintain the land and crop productivity, and the sustainable food availability.
