The purpose of this study was to determine the activity of Mau Sigaro farmer group in Gamsungi village and identified internal and external factors that became the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats of the honey bee cultivation business, in order to find a good strategy to develop it using SWOT matrix. The result of SWOT analysis showed the strength point was consisted of professional human resorces, received capital assistance, produced a pure honey, and short marketing channel. The weakness of this farmer group was limited opportunity for all the member to join some workshop related to honey bee cultivation, needed more capital assistance to pay the maintenance expense, the price of the product was cheap, using manual technic, and none market promotion. The opportunities identified as the support from the government to the farmer group and it had gained consumer trust towards the product. The threats was found as weather exchange, it had not used technology to gain information, and it still did not have a permanent marketing partner to distribute the product. Alternative stategy can be used to develope the honey bee business based on SWOT result is Mau Sigaro farmer group needs to gain more relation with the government and marketing partner, increase the number of production and the quality of the product, send the member to join honey bee cultivation workshop, using the newest technology in honey bee cultivation and mass communication to spread the product information, and using an attractive packaging to gain more consumers. Key words: honey bee cultivation, farmer group, developing strategy, SWOT
Ngade Lake is surrounded by steep cliffs with a very high level of erosion insecurity with a very steep slope > 45% without sloping edges and no outlets. In the upstream region the water catchment area of Ngade Lake is dominated by land use in the form of coconut and nutmeg plantations. This study aims to examine the form of land evaluation strategy to maintain forest function from erosion threat in the area of Ngade Lake water catchment with agroforestry management pattern. The method used in this research was a quantitative descriptive method using field surveys to collect data on the characteristics of the land that is assisted by secondary data from various literature. The collection of land characteristics data was done at each observation point. To collect the primary data used sampling techniques carried out with stratified random sampling method considering accessibility of roads. The results of the study showed that there were several classes of land capacity. Among them were Class II with high potential of land so it can be cultivated for agriculture and settlements. Land capacity Class VI and VII with low-potential land or difficult to be cultivated for agriculture, this land capacity class intended for forestry plants and grazing fields.
The Gunung Sibela Educational Forest is part of the nature reserve located on Bacan Island, North Maluku. Flora research in this location is still very limited, therefore this research was carried out as database support for area management. The purpose of this study was to describe the composition and diversity of flora in the Gunung Sibela Educational Forest. Data collection was carried out in block 332 by making 25 plots measuring 20 m × 20 m each. We recorded the number of individuals of each species, also height and diameter specifically for trees in each growth phase. There were 40 plant species from 25 families, dominated by Neolamarckia macrophylla in tree phase (71.95%), Celtis sp. in poles (41.87%) and saplings (22.55%), and Aglaia sp. in seedlings (33.02%). The diversity index was on moderate categories on trees (2.93), poles (2.93) and seedling (2.47), and high on saplings (3.05). The richness index was high on trees, poles, saplings (6.58, 5.18, 6.05 respectively), and moderate on seedlings (3.61). While the evenness index shows the number of individuals for trees, poles, saplings and seedlings tend to be evenly distributed (0.82, 0.93, 0.89, 0.89 respectively). Overall of this study is the composition of the vegetation in Gunung Sibela Educational Forest contains 40 species of plants and the diversity of species is classified as moderate, and evenness and species richness are classified as high. This indicates that the condition of the vegetation in the research location of the Gunung Sibela Educational Forest is in good condition.
One of the non-timber forest products among them is honey bees which have high economic value. Honey is flower nectar that is absorbed by a honey bee into a honey bag inside its body. The flower nectar that has been sucked is processed in the bee body with a mixture of certain enzymes and then released back to the honey storage area in the beehive. This enzyme is the most important element in honey, which functions as a continuation of biological, chemical reactions and the metabolic system in the body. The purpose of this study was to determine the composition and nutrient content of Trigona sp. honey located in the Tikep forest management unit (KPH). The sampling method used in this study is using purposive sampling. Analysis of the sample through a proximate test included analysis of water content, ash content, fat content, protein content, and carbohydrates. Based on the results of the study, the water content in both samples was very high. The test results showed that in forest honey (37.22%) and cultivated honey (35.18%), these values exceeded the categories stipulated by Indonesian National Standard (SNI) No. 01-3545-2004 maximum 22%. The results of the ash content analysis in both samples ranged from 0.79 to 1.12%. According to SNI, the maximum ash content in honey is 0.5%, which means that the sample of forest and cultivation honey has exceeded the maximum SNI limit. The analysis showed the highest levels of protein and fat in forest honey with a value of 1.72% and 10.76%. Unlike the carbohydrate content, the cultivation honey sample is greater than forest honey, with a value of 23.26%.
Kota Palembang merupakan salah satu kabupaten di Propinsi Sumatera Selatan yangmemungkinkan untuk pengembangan peternakan ruminansia karena memiliki luas wilayah 400,61km2dengan didukung oleh luas padang rumput alam sebesar 174 ha, luasan rawa sebesar 2.496 ha,jumlah penduduk mencapai 1.369.239 jiwa serta rata-rata kepadatan penduduk per km2 mencapai3.342 jiwa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi potensi dan kendala peningkatanpopulasi ternak ruminansia berdasarkan ketersedian lahan hijauan dan tenaga kerja sertamenganalisis prioritas pengembangan populasi ternak ruminansia di Kota Palembang SumateraSelatan. Metode pengolahan dan analisis data menggunakan perhitungan KPPTR (KoefisienPeningkatan Populasi Ternak Ruminansia) sebagai penentu prioritas pengembangan berdasarkanketersediaan lahan hijauan makanan ternak dan tenaga kerja. Data primer yang diambil berupajumlah ternak ruminansia yang dipelihara, sistem pemeliharaan, tenaga kerja yang digunakan danstatus kepemilikan ternak. Data sekunder yang diambil meliputi populasi ternak ruminansia, jumlahpenduduk, luas lahan garapan, luas rawa, padang rumput dan rencana tata ruang wilayah KotaPalembang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai KPPTR efektifnya adalah 16.706,67.Kecamatan yang memiliki nilai KPPTR efektif tertinggi adalah Kecamatan Gandus dengan nlaiKPPTR efektif sebesar 6.055,59 ST, diikuti oleh Kecamatan Kertapati dengan nilai KPPTRefektifnya sebesar 4.391,82 ST sedangkan kecamatan yang memiliki nilai KPPTR efektif terendahadalah Kecamatan Ilir Barat II dengan nilai KPPTR efektif sebesar -175,30 ST. Kesimpulan daripenelitian ini adalah prioritas pengembangan peningkatan populasi ternak ruminansia di KotaPalembang berturut-turut adalah Kecamatan Gandus, Kertapati, Ilir Barat I, Sako, Kalidoni,Sukarami, Ilir Timur II, Plaju, Seberang Ulu I, Ilir Timur I.Kata kunci : Kota Palembang, KPPTR, Populasi Ternak Ruminansia.
