Bedadung is one of the biggest river in Jember, East Java Indonesia. The typology of agricultural upstream of watershed is needed as conservation on the management of natural resources. The activity of intensive agricultural give the influence significant to decrease environmental quality. The behaviour of farmer use the fertilizer according to intensive make the problems on the soil and water. The aim is understanding the farmer behaviour on using fertilizer and to give recommend fertilizer application as to be truly on it. This method was conducted rapid rural appraisal (RRA) with the complete questionnaire for to understand about the behaviour of farmer. There are many steps was did (1) mapping location for taking the sample respondent based on water flow, (2) selected respondent did random sampling, (3) collecting data was cluster analyzed to appropriate the application fertilizer, (4) making a recommend to type conservation for the keep our environment dan conservation of natural resources. Based on the type spread the intensive fertilizer is used of farmer from Urea=60.62.42 kg/ha, Kaltim=54.03 kg/ha, Ponska=47.38 kg/ha, and KCl=27.33 kg/ha. The fertilizer is used the farmer was covered from the rule which is decided.

The upstream areas of Bedadung watershed are generally hilly with steep slopes, so have highly landslides potential and erodibility. In the upstream areas occur illegal logging of protected forests and changes in forest plant around the Argopuro mountains into coffe plant, sengon, and horticultural crops. This condition having impact on increasing flooding during rainy season, and water shortage during dry season. This study aims to identified conservation measures in the upstream area, to describe social impact change, and to calculate economic impact community. The research method uses quantitative descriptive analysis. The data collected using questioners and interviews. Total respondents are 60 farmers who manage land in the upstream of Bedadung. The results explain that the conservation actions which have been carrid out in the upstream community are the terraces, agroforestry system, and reducing the amount of chemical fertilizer used. The impact of social changes on natural conservation are land use and natural resources management which increase environmental degradation. Enviromental degradation impacts on reducing agricultural revenue.

Bedadung watershed is one of the largest watersheds in Jember Regency. The Bedadung watershed in upstream area is generally hilly with steep slopes, so it is prone to landslides and potential to erosion. The upstream area is a protected forest that functions as a water catchment area, turning into plantation and production forest to become the target of logging and deforestation. Conservation activities in the upstream watershed area is essential in the management of water resources. Natural resource management activities in the upstream area significantly affect the success of efforts to provide water and control water resources downstream damage. This study aimed to identify conservation activities in the upstream Bedadung watershed and the impact of changes in upstream land use on environmental damage. The conservation activities in the Jompo, Antrokan, Rempangan, and Rembangan Sub-watersheds is coffe plantation, cover crop, forestry, terrace, restoration, bush, grassland. The highest increase in land change in the four sub-watersged was irrigated land / field, while the decrease was non-irrigated land. The results of comparisons between the 2001 RBI map with the 2015 Landsat Image show an 8% forest loss and 7% increase in irrigated fields.

The upstream of the Bedadung watershed is a catchment area. Now Bedadung watershed does not function optimally because of illegal logging and the change in function of protected forest to production forest. There was an increase in erosion, landslide, and flood. This research aims to identify conservation activities and Identify the roles of stakeholders in governance upstream Bedadung watershed. The result of the first purpose is conservation activities in the fourth Sub-watershed with exploratory, descriptive analysis: (1) Jompo Sub-watershed (coffee plants, teak plants, and terraces), cover crops, DAM controller, (2) Antrokan Sub-watershed such as durian terracing, use of organic mulch, sengon plants with elephant grass, (3) Rempangan Sub-watershed, such as planting cover crops, coffee, and lamtoro terracing, (sengon, coffee, and terrace), reforestation with matoah, sengon, durian, avocado, petai, guava, (4) Rembangan Sub-watershed, such as grass strips, cover crops, (lamtoro, coffee, and terrace). The results of the second purpose are to identify roles, relationships, influence, and strength of stakeholders in the implementation of conservation governance using The Four Rs analysis and stakeholder strength analysis. The position and function of each stakeholder managing the upstream Bedadung Watershed, namely (1) LMDH and KTH as (Subject), (2) Branch of the Jember Regional Forestry Service, Perum Perhutani, and BPDAS Brantas Sampean as (Key Player), (3) Dinas Environment of Jember Regency, Bappeda Jember, Department of Public Works Bina Marga of Jember Regency, and Department of Agriculture of Jember as (Context Setters), (4) Brantas Sampean Watershed Forum as (Crowd).
