Banana is one of the local fruit potentials that optimally have not been used. Many banana producers have complained about the low selling price. This is due to the lack of community knowledge on the food diversification products which made from banana as an alternative to improve the quality and price of bananas. The purpose of this community service activity was to increase knowledge and develop community creativity through the food diversification product of bananas by making the banana nuggets and flour. This activity was conducted on November 2019 in Banding and Sukaraja Village, Rajabasa District, South Lampung Regency. The applied method of this activity was a group meeting which the implementation includes three stages that was socialization, discussion, and evaluation. The results of the community service showed that community knowledge have been increased significantly after comparing the pretest and posttest results. The community was very enthusiastic about the activity because it was able to open their mindset about local fruit potentials that optimally have not been utilized, thus it was encouraged the community's desire to be creative on promoting local products that could increase the income.Keywords: Banana, Local Potential, Nuggets, Flour, Community ABSTRAKPisang merupakan salah satu potensi buah lokal yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Produsen pisang masih banyak yang mengeluhkan harga jualnya yang rendah. Hal ini disebabkan karena kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang diversifikasi produk pangan berbahan baku pisang yang dapat menjadi alternatif dalam meningkatkan kualitas dan harga jual pisang. Tujuan dilakukannya kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan dan mengembangkan kreatifitas masyarakat melalui diversifikasi produk pangan berbahan baku pisang yaitu pembuatan nugget dan tepung pisang. Pengabdian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan November 2019 di Desa Banding dan Desa Sukaraja, Kecamatan Rajabasa, Kabupaten Lampung Selatan. Metode yang diterapkan dalam kegiatan ini adalah pertemuan kelompok yang pelaksanaannya meliputi tiga tahapan yaitu sosialisasi, diskusi, dan evaluasi. Hasil pengabdian yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan masyarakat meningkat secara signifikan setelah membandingkan hasil pretest dan posttest. Masyarakat sangat antusias dengan adanya kegiatan ini karena mampu membuka pola pikirnya mengenai potensi lokal yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal, sehingga mendorong keinginan masyarakat untuk berkreasi dalam mengedepankan produk lokal yang mampu meningkatkan pendapatan.Kata Kunci: Pisang, Potensi Lokal, Nugget, Tepung, Masyarakat
The exploitation of mangrove forests for economic purposes is rampant in tropical countries nowadays, particularly for shrimp farming, such as in the Lampung green belt in the front of the Java Sea. So, ensuring the sustainability of existing mangroves is the need of the hour. In view of above, this study aims to analyze the sustainability index of mangrove ecosystem management and the sustainability status of the mangrove ecosystem from the ecological, economic, social, and institutional dimensions using the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method through the Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries (RAPFISH) approach in East Rawajitu Sub-district, Tulang Bawang District, Lampung Province, Indonesia. The analysis revealed that mangrove ecosystem management’s sustainability index was categorized as ‘less sustainable’ (index 43.01 out of 100). Meanwhile, the social dimension (51.65) was categorized as ‘quite sustainable’, and other dimensions (ecological, economic, and institutional) were ‘less sustainable.’ Therefore, it is proposed that further development of the social dimension is a strategic way to develop the other three sustainability dimensions to achieve ecosystem sustainability as a whole in the study area. Alternative strategies that can be applied for sustainable management of mangrove ecosystems in East Rawajitu Sub-district, Tulang Bawang District are increasing coordination between stakeholders, creating formal regulations, increasing the productivity and creativity of Ikatan Istri-istri Petambak Dipasena (ISTANA), formulating an integrated mangrove ecosystem management plan program, undertaking rehabilitation efforts, increasing the role of mangrove groups, and increase the attention of researchers.
Abstract. Kaskoyo H, Hartati F, Bakri S, Febryano IG, Dewi BS, Nurcahyani N. 2023. Satellite based analysis of mangrove cover and density change in mangroves of Tulang Bawang District, Lampung Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 3019-3028. Being a threatened ecosystem of the world, mangroves require regular monitoring to identify areas that need improvement in conservation measures. Considering this, the present study aimed to assess the mangrove cover and density change in mangrove forest of Tulang Bawang District, Lampung Province, Indonesia. Data was collected by remote sensing techniques using satellite imagery viz., Landsat 5 in 2000 and 2010 and Landsat 8 in 2020. It was then analyzed using remote sensing method, namely Object-Based Image Analysis techniques using the unguided classification method to obtain mangrove cover data; while mangrove density information was obtained using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index algorithm. The results revealed the decrease in mangrove cover and density between 2000 and 2020. The mangrove cover decreased from 7529 ha in 2000 to 5551 ha in 2020. Furthermore, density of mangrove forest has also witnessed change from dense density class in 2000 to medium density class in 2020. From this result, it is evident that mangroves of East Rawajitu Sub-district are degrading and require focused efforts to prevent the degradation. Communities, entrepreneurs, and governments have different motives for utilizing mangrove forests that result in damage, so reasonable efforts are needed to manage mangrove forests sustainably.
