Mount Bromo Special Purpose Forest Areas (KHDTK) is expected to be able to fully manage Sebelas Maret University by involving stakeholders, including those related to the communities around the forest. This research is intended to understand the form of interaction and the level of comparison of people to forests. Mixed methods, namely qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis used in this study to answer more complete research objectives. Mount Bromo KHdTK is by utilizing forests directly in the form of arable land (agroforestry patterns), energy (firewood), animal feed, air, and pine resin. Furthermore, the level of community participation in the forest is divided into three groups, namely low, medium, and high, with 49%, 38%, and 13%, respectively. Mount Bromo KHdTK continues to approve the community around the forest because they are the main party and first receive negative impacts from unsupported forest area management.

KHDTK Gunung Bromo Karanganyar is a state forest area whose management was handed over to Sebelas Maret University starting in 2018. The study of the potential and strategy for developing nature-based tourism is very much needed by managers to support sustainable forest management. This study aims to determine visitor ratings, analyze ADO-ODTWA, and formulate strategies for developing nature-based tourism in the KHDTK Gunung Bromo. Data was collected through structured interviews with 40 visitors, field observations, and in-depth interviews with managers, stakeholders and the community. Potential data were analyzed with ADO-ODTWA Dirjen PHKA 2003 and SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to determine the right strategy in nature-based tourism management. The results showed the visitor's assessment of access to the location was considered good (40%) and very good (17%); cleanliness is considered sufficient (70%) and good (20%); infrastructure is considered not good (60%); the natural scenery is considered good (63%) and very good (20%). The result of the ADO-ODTWA potential value is 6.040 medium value classifications. The strategies for developing nature-based tourism in the KHDTK Gunung Bromo are: maintain high forest resource potential as a tourist attraction; developing tourism products that have competitiveness; management collaboration with investors in line with ecotourism; and conducting intensive promotional activities.

Climate change and the increasing greenhouse effect are serious problems of global concern today. The existence of forests plays an essential role in carbon sequestration and storage to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration in the atmosphere. Forest Area with the Special Purpose (KHDTK) of Gunung Bromo has an area of 126,291 ha that is designated as an educational forest.  The area has been managed by Universitas Sebelas Maret since 2019 and consists of three main tree species, namely Pinus merkusii, Swietenia mahagoni, and Dalbergia latifolia. This study aims to estimate the potential uptake and economic valuation of carbon stocks in the KHDTK of Gunung Bromo. Stratified Systematic Sampling with Random Start was used as an inventory method in this study. The estimation of above-ground carbon uptake used general allometric equations (non-destructive method). Furthermore, the carbon economy valuation referred to the range of calculating the average carbon price for each program specification. The results showed that the estimated carbon of tree stands in KHDTK of Gunung Bromo reached 75.81 tonnes C/ha with a carbon economic valuation of USD 758.1/ha or equivalent to IDR 10,856,863.80/ha. Exploring the potential for biodiversity (flora and fauna) and environmental services such as carbon sink will support the ecotourism program in KHDTK of Gunung Bromo.

Agroforestry can be developed for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Farmers in Jepara Regency have long been developing sugar palm agroforestry for starch. Increasing the use of sugar palm and the low knowledge of farmers about the potential of sugar palm plants are a threat to the existence of sugar palm agroforestry. This study aims to inventory the potential distribution of sugar palm with the support of remote sensing and field surveys in Pakis Aji, Bangsri, and Kembang sub-districts which was carried out in August-December 2020. The interpretation results used Landsat 8 imagery and Google Earth images in 1161 sugar palm objects with the largest number in Bangsri District. Remote sensing accuracy testing with the Omission-Commission method obtained a value of 90.8%, which means the accuracy value is very high. The correlation test between the value of vegetation density (NDVI) and the survey results obtained a value of R2 = 0.575 with a significance value of 0.00 <0.05. The overall potential of palm plantations is predicted to be 5740 m3 with an area for the development of sugar palm agroforestry of 10,008.9 ha.

Jahe merupakan jenis rimpang paling banyak dibudidayakan oleh petani hutan rakyat Desa Gempolan, Kecamatan Kerjo, Kabupaten Karanganyar. Pada umumnya, jahe di tanam di bawah tegakan tanaman keras melalui sistem agroforestri. Selama ini hasil panen berupa jahe segar dijual langsung ke pasar. Namun, seringkali harga jual di pasar fluktuatif sehingga petani enggan menjual pada saat tersebut. Apabila kondisi tersebut berkepanjangan, maka jahe yang disimpan akan busuk. Oleh karena itu, Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) D’Sekar mengolah jahe menjadi produk minuman jahe instan agar dapat meningkatkan harga jual sekaligus memberikan pemasukan tambahan bagi keluarga. Akan tetapi, hingga saat ini produk minuman jahe instan yang dibuat oleh KWT D’Sekar masih sangat sederhana dan belum menggunakan Standard Operasional Procedure (SOP) produksi, sehingga dalam mengontrol kualitas produksi tiap batch sulit dilakukan. Selain itu, kemasan yang digunakan masih sangat sederhana dan belum memiliki izin edar Produksi Pangan Industri Rumah Tangga (PIRT). Pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilaksanakan meliputi penyuluhan, penawaran perbaikan kemasan produk minuman jahe instan, dan pendampingan dalam pengurusan PIRT. Melalui pengabdian kepada masyarakat, diharapkan akan meningkatkan produksi, daya jual dan pada akhirnya bermuara pada peningkatan kesejahteraan anggota KWT D’Sekar.

Kerjo District, Karanganyar Regency. Ginger was planted under forest stands though agroforesty. The harvested ginger was sold directly to the market. However, the ginger selling price was fluctuates, thus the farmers were reluctant to sell at that time. If this condition was prolonged, the stored ginger will rot. Therefore, the Woman Farmers Group (WFG) D’Sekar processes ginger into instant gingger drink product in order to increase the selling price while providing additional income for their family. However, instant gingger drink product that made by WFG D’Sekar was simple and not use production Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) yet. Therefore, controling the production quality of each batch was difficult. In addition, the packaging used was very simple and not yet have food distribution permit, Home Industry Food Production (HIFP). Though community service, it was expected to be able increase on instant gingger drink production, marketability, and lead into increasing family walfare of WFG D’Sekar members.
