Good urban structure and activity require green open space to improve the ecological functions in it, but trees are not fully able to meet the important space in the urban vegetation while woody shrubs have the potential for it. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find out the potential of shrub as the component of urban vegetation so that it can be used as the information regarding the planning for land conversion in Cempaka subdistrict. Three sampling stations with 3 plots of 4x4 m at each station were determined on the basis of green open space data of shrubs in Cempaka subdistrict using a purposive sampling method. The shrub canopy was analyzed and environmental parameters were measured. Data were analyzed using the analysis of canopy volume, Pearson correlation analysis and analysis of Importance Value Index (IVI). The results of shrub vegetation estimation indicated that the volume of shrub vegetation canopy in Cempaka subdistrict was up to 22,462,878.50 m3 while the area with shrubs in the subdistrict was 5,675.116 hectares. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the canopy volume of shrubs in Cempaka subdistrict affected the changes in environmental factors. The most dominant shrub species was Ficus fistulosa Reinw. ex Bl with IVI value of 56.1%. It can be concluded that shrubs have potential as the component of the green space vegetation in urban areas.

This study aims to examine the management system of cinnamon by Loklahung village community, Loksado sub-district, South Kalimantan. The method used in this research is quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative approach using questionnaires and observations. While the qualitative approach seeks understanding by using participant observation, open interviews, interviews with key informants and study documents / libraries. Data sources used are primary data and secondary data. Primary data is data obtained directly in the field. While secondary data is data obtained by analyzing, collecting and studying books and supporting literature as reference material. Based on the results of the study, it is known that as many as 90.8% of Loklahung villagers own cinnamon gardens and manage their own cinnamon gardens from land preparation, planting, maintenance to harvesting cinnamon. People plant cinnamon on the same land with rice and after harvesting rice using a monoculture system and intercropping with fruit and vegetable commodities. Cinnamon maintenance includes stitching, fertilizing and weeding. Harvesting or taking cinnamon bark through several stages, that are choosing a tree to be cut down, cutting down trees, gnawing and skinning trees. Cinnamon harvests in the form of rolls are then sold to collectors or middlemen at a price of IDR 50,000.00 / kg.Keywords: Management syste; Garden; cinnamon

This study was conducted in Banjar Regency, in the areas of Keraton, Keramat Baru, Tungkaran, Akar Baru and Sungai Tabuk villages, South Kalimantan, from April-July 2009. The purpose of the study was to estimate the amount of carbon storage in water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) at freshwater swamps. The information obtained through this study is expected to provide benefits for the swampland management. The swamplands observed were the ones with water lettuce growing in the swamps. The sampling was carried out using purposive sampling technique with the consideration of grouping water lettuce’s distribution. The carbon storage measurement was performed by measuring biomass, organic carbon percentage in water lettuce, and total carbon storage in m2. The organic carbon was analyzed using Walkey & Black's Method. There were also analyses of crude fiber and ash in water lettuce. Data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical clusters. The carbon storage in water lettuce at freshwater swamps in Banjar Regency ranged between 64.07 – 237.75 g/m2. The average crude fiber ranged between 19.89 - 24.94 % and ash between 20.91 - 28.69%.

Green open spaces are spaces in the city in the form of areas, extending in the form of lines, or are open without buildings. Planting plants by taking into account aspects of the suitability of the function and model tree architecture can maximize the existing landscape. This research was conducted to find out the types of trees that grow and find out their suitabilitybased on the tree architecture model in the area.The study was conducted at the Banjarbaru Idaman Hospital. The method used in this research is inventory, interview, evaluation, design and description. The research area is divided into 4 areas. The results of the tree inventory found 25 species of trees belonging to 16 families, and 8 architectural models. The tree architectural models found are Attim, Aubreville, Corner, Petit, Rauh, Roux, Scarrone and Troll. Based on the results of the overall evaluation of the trees that grow in the area of the Banjarbaru Idaman Hospital is considered quite appropriate.Keywords: Suitability of functions and types, tree architecture, Banjarbaru Idaman Hospital

There is an obligation to provide compensation land, carry out reforestation of compensation land and planting in the framework of forest reclamation for owners of Forest Area Loan Permits (IPPKH). Carrying out the reclamation requires some treatment such as silviculture actions in order for its reclamation activities to succeed, to increase the success of plant health is needed as a guideline in the future in the implementation of forest reclamation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the health of reclaimed plants of rubber and hazelnut types that exist in PD. Baratama Rantau Bakula Village, Sungai Pinang District, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. The results showed that at the observation site found each as many as 63 plants in the type of rubber and hazelnut plants. In rubber plants there are as many as 38 healthy rubber plants, 6 plants are less healthy, 7 plants languish and 12 plants that die with a percentage of plant life of 80.9% and the percentage of plant health of 74.5% in healthy plant conditions. In hazelnut plants there are 44 healthy plants, 7 plants are less healthy, 3 plants languish and 9 plants that die with a percentage of plant life of 85.7% and the percentage of plant health of 81.5% healthy conditionsAdanya kewajiban untuk menyediakan lahan kompensasi, melaksanakan reboisasi lahan kompensasi dan melakukan penanaman dalam rangka reklamasi hutan bagi pemilik Izin Pinjam Pakai Kawasan Hutan (IPPKH). Melaksanakan reklamasi tersebut diperlukan beberapa perlakuan seperti tindakan-tindakan silvikultur agar kegiatan reklamasinya berhasil, untuk meningkat keberhasilan tersebut diperlukan evaluasi kesehatan tanaman sebagai pedoman ke depannya dalam pelaksanaan reklamasi hutan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi kesehatan tanaman reklamasi jenis karet dan kemiri yang ada di PD. Baratama Desa Rantau Bakula Kecamatan Sungai Pinang Kabupaten Banjar, Kalimantan Selatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada lokasi pengamatan ditemukan masing-masing sebanyak 63 tanaman pada jenis tanaman karet dan kemiri. Pada tanaman karet terdapat sebanyak 38 tanaman karet yang sehat, 6 tanaman kurang sehat, 7 tanaman merana dan 12 tanaman yang mati dengan persentase hidup tanamannya sebesar 80,9% dan persentase kesehatan tanamannya sebesar 74,5% pada kondisi tanaman sehat. Pada tanaman kemiri terdapat 44 tanaman sehat, 7 tanaman kurang sehat, 3 tanaman merana dan 9 tanaman yang mati dengan persentase hidup tanamannya sebesar 85,7% dan persentase kesehatan tanamannya sebesar 81,5% kondisi sehat
