Abstract

The general condition of river in Indonesia is degraded and polluted. River restoration is effort to recover the function and natural condition of river. The government has implemented programs to improve some degraded rivers. Civil society organizations (CSO) and communities have initiated various actions to restore the rivers in some regions. By positioning the concept of river restoration as part of environmental movement, the article describes the Karang Mumus river restoration initiated by a CSO in the city of Samarinda. The CSO has practiced environmental education as an entry point and platform of actions for river restoration. The environmental education has engaged individuals and social groups in the city. They have learned and practiced actions to restore the river. Even though the more actions are still needed to recover the river, to some extent the CSO has been able to put river restoration as a centre of environmental activism in the city. Kondisi umum sungai-sungai di Indonesia adalah rusak dan tercemar. Restorasi sungai adalah upaya untuk mengembalikan fungsi dan kondisi alamiah dari sungai. Pemerintah telah mengimplementasikan berbagai program untuk memperbaiki kondisi sungai yang rusak dan tercemar. Berbagai komunitas dan organisasi masyarakat sipil (OMS) telah mengambil prakarsa untuk melakukan restorasi sungai di sejumlah daerah. Dengan menempatkan restorasi sungai sebagai bagian dari gerakan lingkungan, artikel ini memaparkan gerakan restorasi sungai Karang Mumus di Kota Samarinda. OMS mempraktikkan pendidikan lingkungan sebagai titik masuk dan platform aksi dalam melakukan upaya restorasi sungai. Pendidikan lingkungan telah mampu melibatkan warga individual dan kelompok-kelompok sosial di kota ini. Mereka belajar dan mempraktikan aksi-aksi restorasi sungai. Meskipun masih dibutuhkan lebih banyak aksi, sampai pada tingkat tertentu, OMS telah mampu menempatkan aksi-aksi restorasi sungai Karang Mumus sebagai titik pusat aktivisme lingkungan di Kota Samarinda.

Optimizing The Karang Mumus River School (SeSuKaMu) as An Innovation to Revitalize the River

“…SeSuKaMu becomes a river school that offers Learning and Experience CentreIn Understanding the River (Alkhairiyyah et al, 2023;Suarnawati, 2022). The idea of environmental education offered by SeSuKaMu has been oriented towards the future, namely presenting activities and programs that raise awareness in the community (Marlina & Suharini, 2019;Suharko & Kusumadewi, 2019). Tree seed seeding is not only aimed at greening but more than that, it is oriented towards a big goal so that the SKM ecosystem slowly begins to live and develop properly.…”

“…Responding to the problems of the Karang Mumus River raises various responses in community behavior to the perception of the slum Karang Mumus River. The community-based environmental management carried out by the GMSS-SKM community is to form a place of learning about rivers and carry out activities that can rehabilitate rivers by establishing SeSuKaMu (Karang Mumus River School) (Admin, 2022;Suharko & Kusumadewi, 2019). In SeSuKaMu, there are activities carried out in the form of discussions about the river, revegetation of the area around the river, and seeding tree seeds to be planted on the banks river (Awaloedin, Nugraha &;Achyarsyah, 2023).…”

Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup Berbasis Masyarakat Melalui Gerakan Memungut Sehelai Sampah Sungai Karang Mumus

“…Kegiatan memungut sampah ini selain dilakukan di darat (sekitar posko GMSS-SKM) juga dapat dilakukan di air (sepanjang Sungai Karang Mumus) menggunakan perahu untuk mengitari Sungai Karang Mumus sambil memungut dan mengumpulkan sampah terapung sehingga dapat mengurangi volume sampah di dalam sepanjang sungai (Othman et al, 2020;Purba et al, 2021;Resda et al, 2022;Suryani, 2016). Gerakan Memungut Sehelai Sampah Sungai Karang Mumus menjadi pelopor kebersihan serta penghijauan di wilayah sungai Kota Samarinda (Kaha et al, 2020;Suharko & Kusumadewi, 2019;Wahyudi & Hidayah, 2022).…”

Transformation of River Restoration Movement Network

“…So far studies on river restoration movement tend to pay much attention to phenomenon and macro process of movement. Just like resource mobilization and political process perspective explaining the emergence of river restoration movement (8),( 9), (10), (11), the perspective of collective framing and identity explains the movement operation process and varying tactics and strategies used (12), (13). In the attempt of enriching analysis of river restoration movement and revealing the dynamic of movement comprehensively, mezzo and micro approaches are needed concerning rational and transformational elements of social network in addition to macro approach found commonly so far.…”
