Penyuluhan pertanian menjadi kegiatan utama yang selalu berperan dalam mengedukasi petani. Di tengah kondisi pandemik Covid-19, kegiatan penyuluhan yang biasanya dilaksanakan secara tatap muka, kini dapat dilaksanakan secara virtual (online) berbasis teknologi informasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menganalisis efektifitas pelaksanaan penyuluhan pertanian berbasis teknologi informasi terhadap petani pada situasi social distancing di Kabupaten Bone Bolango. Penelitian ini menggunakan model pendekatan ekperimental dengan melakukan uji coba penyuluhan berbasis teknologi informasi terhadap petani di Kabupaten Bone Bolango. Sampel dipilih dengan tehnik purposive sampling, dengan penentuan besaran sampel sebesar 25% atau 35 orang petani. Tehnik analisis data menggunakan metode EPIC model, dengan pendekatan komunikasi mencakup empat dimensi kritis yaitu Empathy, Persuation, Impact dan Communication (EPIC). Tingkat efektivitas media penyuluhan yang menggunakan EPIC model ditentukan dengan Likerts Summated Rating Scale (LSRS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model penyuluhan online baik menggunakan konten materi dalam bentuk teks maupun video secara umum memperoleh kategori yang kurang efektif untuk membentuk pengetahuan dan pemahaman petani di Kabupaten Bone Bolango. Namun, secara parsial konten penyuluhan berbasis teknologi informasi yang ditampilkan dalam bentuk video tergolong kategori efektif. Upaya peningkatan penguasaan dan pemanfaatan teknologi informasi perlu dilakukan petani dalam merespon serta mendukung pelaksanaan penyuluhan pertanian berbasis teknologi informasi di tengah kondisi pandemik saat ini.

In general, the interacting elements in the nature tourism system in NaniWartaboneBogani National Park (TNBNW) are population; some tourist visitors; community income; income tax; land use/forest cover and development policy direction. Simulation results show the population is predicted to increase until reaching 380,357 people in 2030. In the optimistic scenario, the population in 2013 is predicted as many as 158,195 people and will increase to 308,149 in 2030. In the optimistic scenario of the number of tourists in 2013 predicted as many as 25,806 people and will increase to 145,215 people by 2030. Community income in 2008 of Rp 12,000,000 is expected to increase to Rp 78,806,894 in 2030. Optimistic scenario of community revenues in 2013 is estimated at Rp 69,656,421 will increase to Rp 484,520 .719 in 2030. In an optimistic scenario subsidy in 2013 is estimated at Rp 22,107,690 and will increase to Rp 175,305,853 in 2030. The optimistic scenario of primary forest cover in 2013 is estimated to cover 136,040 ha and will decrease slightly to 134,910 ha in 2030.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui (1) dampak pembangunan HTI terhadap perubahan tutupan lahan hutan di wilayah konsesi HTI PT.Gorontalo Citra Lestari. (2) dampak pembangunan HTI terhadap kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat Kecamatan Monano Kabupaten.Gorontalo Utara. Pendekatan pada penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif deskriptif. Metode penelitian adalah deskriptif dan inferensial. Data dalam penelitian berupa data primer melalui penyebaran angket. Analisis data yang digunakan yakni analisis deskriptif dan paired samples t Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa (1) nilai Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) berada dalam kategori Kehijauan sedang pada tahun 2021. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa dampak pembangunan oleh konsesi HTI PT.Gorontalo Citra Lestari terhadap perubahan tutupan lahan hutan pada jangka pendek cenderung kurang baik dalam lingkungan dan kehijauan hutan, namun secara jangka panjang akan berdampak positif dengan sebaran dan kepadatan tanaman hijauan yang mampu memberikan manfaat lingkungan (perubahan tutupan lahan hutan makin baik). (2) kehadiran konsensi HTI PT.Gorontalo Citra Lestari berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap perubahan kondisi sosial dan kondisi ekonomi masyarakat di Kabupaten Gorontalo Utara (adanya perbedaan yang krusial dari kondisi sosial dan kondisi ekonomi masyarakat sebelum dan sesudah adanya PT.Gorontalo Citra Lestari). Beberapa masyarakat petani, lahannya menjadi lebih sempit karena lahan hutan yang selama ini digunakan untuk kegiatan usahatani diklaim dan digunakan oleh HTI namun sebagai gantinya petani memperoleh pendapatan tambahan dengan bekerja di PT.Gorontalo Citra Lestari.Kata kunci: Tutupan Lahan Hutan; HTI; Gorontalo Utara.ABSTRACTThis study aimed to determine (1) the impact of industrial plantation forest (HTI) development on changes in forest land cover in the HTI concession area of PT. Gorontalo Citra Lestari. (2) the impact of HTI development on the socioeconomic conditions of the people of Monano Subdistrict, Gorontalo Utara Regency. It applied a quantitative descriptive approach with descriptive and inferential research method. Besides, the data in this study were primary data obtained through the distribution of questionnaires. The data analysis used was descriptive analysis and paired samples t- test. The findings revealed that (1) the value of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was in the medium green category in 2021. This indicated that the impact of development by the HTI concession of PT. Gorontalo Citra Lestari on changes in forest land cover in the short term tended to be less good in terms of environment and forest green. However, in the long term, it would have a positive impact on the distribution and density of forage plants that were able to provide environmental benefits (changes in forest land cover were getting better). (2) the presence of the HTI concession of PT. Gorontalo Citra Lestari had a positive and significant effect on changes in socioeconomic conditions of the people in Gorontalo Utara Regency (there were crucial differences in the socioeconomic conditions of the community before and after the existence of PT. Gorontalo Citra Lestari). Meanwhile, for the farmers communities, their land has become narrower since the forest land that has been used for farming activities was claimed and used by HTI, but the farmers earned additional income by working at PT. Gorontalo Citra Lestari.Keywords: Forest Land Cover; HTI; Gorontalo Utara.
