“…The second largest category is plants used for foods and beverages. This is consistent with the findings of the ethnobotanical survey of Iswandono (2015) in the Ruteng forest of Flores. Iswandono found that the largest group of useful forest plants consisted of medicinal plants, followed by plants used for food.…”

“…Other kinds of forest plants are used for household needs (Table 1). Iswandono (2015) reported that most tribal communities in Flores have knowledge about medicinal plants from the forests, while indigenous medical practitioners are often considered to have magical power. Medicinal plant use from the forest satisfies a special need, because the people have a belief that forest plants are more beneficial to health than garden plants.…”

“…Apart from the useful plants identified in this study in Wolomeze forest, there are many other interesting plants that are utilized in this region of Flores. For example, species such as Fraxinus griffithii, Dysoxylum gaudichaudianum, Aphanamixis polystachya, Canarium hirsutum, Garuga floribunda and Palaquium amboinense provide wood useful as a building material, or medicines (Iswandono 2015).…”

Suku Ture, salah satu suku terbesar di daerah ini, memiliki hubungan yang kuat dengan hutan ini. Mereka mencari dan memperoleh bahan bangunan, beberapa makanan alternatif, dan obat-obatan alami dari hutan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan informasi tumbuhan berguna yang tumbuh di hutan lindung dan untuk memastikan kegunaannya. Penelitian dilakukan di daerah hutan berketinggian 400-600 m di atas permukaan laut yang sering dikunjungi masyarakat. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui survei lapangan dan wawancara terhadap informan kunci yaitu sesepuh setempat. Diperoleh 40 spesies tumbuhan yang dapat digunakan sebagai tanaman obat, sumber makanan, bahan bangunan, dan untuk tujuan lain. Meskipun kearifan lokal dan sikap menghormati alam telah ada dalam tradisi masyarakat setempat serta mendukung kelestarian hutan, namun tekanan akibat dari meningkatnya kebutuhan manusia akan merusak dan mengurangi keutuhan hutan tersebut. Dengan demikian, upaya serius oleh berbagai pemangku kepentingan diperlukan untuk menjaga kelestarian hutan. Kata kunci: Flores, inventarisasi tumbuhan berguna, hutan tersisa, Wolomeze

“…Local comunities living around the forest have interacted and know the sustainable use of forest plants (Pei et al 2009). Ethnobotanical knowledge of local community has an important role in managing and conserving of the forest properly (Iswandono et al 2015). This knowledge is further used as a role model for development of community wisdom in the future.…”

Pelawan padang (Tristaniopsis merguensis) plays an important role in providing daily needs including goods and services for Lom community in Bangka island. Recently, modernization has an impact on the indigenous knowledge related to plants utilization in Lom community, especially pelawan padang. The aims of the study were to analyze the roles and benefits and to determine ethnobotanical knowledge changes of Lom people on the use of pelawan padang. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire. Pebble Distribution Method (PDM) was used to analyze the quantitative data, while the qualitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistic. The result showed that pelawan padang can be used for material construction, firewood, honey production, traditional medicine and material of bagan traditional stilt houses. The degradation of indigenous knowledge of Lom people related to natural resources such as pelawan padang could be assessed according to individual factors which were; age classes and occupation. More respondents aged over 40 years showed the ability in identifying and using Pelawan padang compared to the younger (25-40 years old). According to occupational group, there was higher number of unemployed respondents and respondents working as farmers that used pelawan padang compared to respondents working as employee. No difference was found for tribal leaders and community members regarding to the knowledge of Pelawan padang benefits. This study provides the latest information about the benefits of plants from the Lom Community that can be developed through the further research, especially for the benefits pelawan padang as a drug.

“…Various protective efforts based on legal enforcement instruments are unable to achieve significant outcomes, because illegal cutting and logging within the forest actually continues despite these measures. Iswandono et al (2015) in his research among the Manggarai people gained knowledge of community efforts aimed at minimizing the impact of using trees as building materials. The Manggarai perform traditional ceremonies when felling large trees from the forests to build a house.…”

Abstract. Hidayat S. 2017. The use by local communities of plants from Sesaot Protected Forest, West Nusa Tenggara,. Sesaot Protected Forest is a forest area located very close to human settlements in Sesaot Village, Narmada Sub-district, West Lombok District, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The level of dependence of rural communities on the forest resources is very high. This study aimed to determine the range of utilization of plants made by people living around the forests, and to evaluate conservation needs for these plants. Utilization of the various plants by Sesaot society was observed in an ethnobotanical study employing a combination of open interview techniques and field observation over a two week period. The results of the study showed that there were 61 species of forest plants utilized by the Sesaot people. Among the 61 species, there were species that had a single function or others that had multiple functions. There were 20 species utilized as food and beverage; 19 used as medicines and herbs; and 15 species as building materials. Other species were utilized in a variety of ways: as fuel wood, as material for craft and/or furniture, for animal traps, as food wrappings and as ornamental plants. The part of the plant most widely used was wood (30.8%), either as a building material, as craft material, for firewood, or in medical treatments. The utilization of wood products poses significant risks for the survival of certain tree species, because the timber is generally obtained by illegal logging. It was noted that certain prized timber producing species tend to be targeted by illegal loggers; such as garu (Dysoxylum parasiticum), bajur (Pterospermum javanicum), rajumas (Duabanga moluccana) and some species of Myrtaceae. This study showed that Sesaot Protected Forest has an important role in sustaining the daily life of the surrounding community. However, without strong conservation efforts in the management of Sesaot Protected Forest, it is feared that unsustainable utilization practices will lead to the loss of some important plant species from this region.
