Batang Gadis National Park (BGNP) located in Bukit Barisan Mountains, Sumatera Utara. A Mandailing tribe who lives around the BGNP, has the unique local knowledge, such as processing young stem of rattan (Calamus manan) into pakkat (traditional food) and use rimbang (Solanum torvum) to neutralize toxins. These local knowledge could be lost because it only inherited orally from generation to generation. This study was aimed to reveal ethnobotany knowledge of Mandailing Tribe. The study was conducted in November 2015 in four villages around the BGNP, Sibanggor Jae, Hutabaringin Julu, Pastap Jae, and Botung Villages. Data were collected by interviewing informants in each village as well as the field survey through two approaches, emic and etic. A total of 262 plant species is used by Mandailing Tribe for subsistence and commercial needs. The highest utilization is for food (106 species), followed by traditional medicines (81 species), firewood (29 species), building materials (35 species), and animal feed (25 species). People also used plant for household appliances, agricultural equipment, art materials, ropes and wrap, and pest control materials. Eme/rice (Oryza sativa) have the highest Index of Cultural Significance (ICS) values. The existence of this species is maintained for its local wisdom. Thus, involvement of local community will give great contribution to manage and conserve the BGNP area.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui evaluasi aplikasi berbasis power point sebagai sumber belajar pada materi metode etnobiologi. Penelitian ini termasuk kedalam penelitian deskriptif yang bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan penggunaan aplikasi berbasis wtpptconverter pada materi metode penelitian etnobiologi. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Jurusan Biologi Universitas Negeri Medan yang mengambil mata kuliah etnobiologi pada tahun 2019/2020 berjumlah 25 mahasiswa. Sampel diambil sebanyak 25 mahasiswa dengan teknik total sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan posttest dan wawancara. Hasil pada penelitian ini adalah kelayakan isi aplikasi 80,5% dalam kategori layak dan kelayakan bahasa 80,8% dalam kategori layak. Hasil uji postest mahasiswa adalah 77,74% untuk pengetahuan metode etnobotani, 60,48% untuk analisis penggunaan metode, dan 74,17% untuk kepekaan terhadap masalah lingkungan dan solusinya. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara, mahasiswa tertarik menggunakan aplikasi karena memiliki tampilan dan isi yang baik, akan tetapi perlu pengembangan isi konten materi. Dan menurut mahasiswa aplikasi memudahkan mahasiswa dalam menggunakan dan menerapkan metode penelitian etnobiologi dalam kehidupannya sehari-hari. Kesimpulan pada penelitian ini adalah aplikasi sudah baik untuk diterapkan dalam pembelajaran metode penelitian etnobiologi tetapi perlu adanya perbaikan dan pengembangan lebih lanjut.
Internet connection has become useful part of education. Many teachers and lecturers create electronic learning to support their learning-teaching process. The aim of this research is to know the student’s perception of e-learning in ethnobotany. Descriptive research was used to get the data by giving 28 students questioners. Based on the questioners that have been analyzed, researcher found that 100% of students know about e-learning and have access to e-learning 96.43% of students state that e-learning can helps the learning process and 100% of students agree that e-learning help them to access the subject matter. There are 5 obstacles identified from the survey including connection problem (96.42%), the lack of information about how to use e-learning (50%), interaction problem with lecturers through e-learning (21.43%), lack of discipline to use e-learning to study (14.29%), and don’t know how to use e-learning (7.14%). Further research is needed to overcome this problems.
Mind Map The sophistication of information technology and internet network in the fourth industrial revolutionera can be utilized to supportthe learning process. Electronic learning (E-learning) is an innovative learning method that is appropriate in answering the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution era. E-learning is a way to enrich education by integrating technology into traditional classrooms. E-learning allows lecturers to share syllabus and learning material to students, provide assignments that must be done by students and assess students in real-time. This study aims to analyze the response of Biology students to the use of e-learning in ethnobotany courses. The study was conducted from June to October 2019. The subjects of this study were students of Biology Study Program, Class A and Class B year 2016. The research method used was descriptive method using survey methods. The instrument used was a student response questionnaire. The results of the assessment of student responses obtained a value in the learning aspect of 85.10% with a very good category, a material aspect of 89.71% with a very positive category, a programming aspect of 82.46% with a very positive category, and multimedia aspect of 88.17% with a very positive category.
Empirical Utilization of Medicinal Plant on Mandailing Tribe in Batang Gadis National Park North SumatraABSTRACTMandailing tribe is an indigenous tribe that inhabits the area around Batang Gadis National Park (BGNP), North Sumatra. They have knowledge related to the use of plants for traditional medicine. Nevertheless, the information about this local knowledge is not uncover yet. This study aims to reveal the knowledge of the Mandailing tribe in utilizing plants as a traditional medicine. The research location was in 4 villages around BGNP.

Excellence, potential, and good prospects make palm oil plantations grow rapidly. Another underlying consideration is the important and strategic role as a activator nor accelerator in development and economy. Environmental and social issues become challenging in development’s sector, especially in the development of sustainable oil palm plantations. Since the implementations of the certification system for sustainable palm oil plantation’s in 2011 and was further clarified in Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture No. 11 of 2015 about Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil Certification System (ISPO), the Indonesian Government requires companies to produce palm oil sustainably. This research aims to analysis on the performance of oil palm plantations in environmental management based on ISPO principles and criteria. Research on several palm oil plantations of South Sumetera Province located in Musi Banyuasin Regency. Methods were used by collecting primary data through interviews and secondary data was obtained from data reviews such as company literature. The results of the analysis showed that the effectiveness of policy implementation through the fulfillment of environmental policy components can be fulfilled by most of companies. Meanwhile, in some cases, such as online reporting of land fires has not been fulfilled yet.
