Smallholder oil palm plantations play an essential role in the Indonesian economy, both on a national, regional, local, and household scale. However, no data or studies show how much smallholder oil palm plantations contribute to achieving in each sustainable development goals (SDGs). The development of smallholder oil palm plantations, like other economic developments, wherever conducted needs to provide benefits to the community such that it exceeds the costs incurred, including the costs of preserving and protecting the environment. To assess its contribution, it is essential to examine the Sustainable Development targets in which smallholder oil palm plantations contribute. Therefore, this study is aimed at examining sustainable development goals to which smallholder oil palm plantations can contribute. Based on focus group discussion and the literature review, there are 13 SDGs for smallholder oil palm plantations that contribute and play a role in achieving the targets set by the United Nations in sustainable development. These results are significant as a basis for further studies to prove the presumption concerning the role and positive contribution of smallholder oil palm plantations in each of the existing SDG targets.

Kesuburan tanah adalah potensi tanah untuk menyediakan unsur hara dalam jumlah yang cukup dalam bentuk yang tersedia dan seimbang untuk menjamin pertumbuhan tanaman yang maksimum. Dalam rangka meminimalisasi kerusakan tanah bekas panambangan batubara dan proses degradasi lahan yang terus berlanjut, maka upaya konservasi tanah pada lahan bekas penambangan batubara perlu didukung oleh data informasi, diantaranya status tingkat kesuburan tanahnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kesuburan tanah di lahan bekas penambangan batubara PT. Senamas Enegindo Mineral. Dari hasil penelitian ini didapatkan informasi tentang kondisi tanahnya yang diharapkan dapat dijadikan bahan pertimbangan dalam rangka upaya reklamasi dengan tujuan revegetasi di lahan bekas penambangan batubara. Metode yang digunakan untuk menentukan lokasi titik pengamatan ditentukan dengan cara purposive sampling. Sampel tanah terganggu diambil dari 5 titik pengamatan yang dilakukan dengan cara komposit kurang lebih sebanyak 1 kg, selanjutnya dianalisis di laboratorium. Parameter yang diamati tekstur (pasir, debu, liat), C-organik, N, P, K-dd, Ca-dd, Na-dd, Mg-dd, kapasitas tukar kation (KTK), kejenuhan basa (KB) dan pH (H2O). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tekstur tanah tergolong lempung berpasir dan pasir berlempung sedangkan tingkat kesuburan tanah pada lahan bekas penambangan batubara umumnya masih sangat rendah. Upaya perbaikan tingkat kesuburan tanah yaitu dengan pemberian pupuk organik dan anorganik, kompos dan jamur mikoriza.
Taman Nasional Sebagau (TNS) or Sebangau National Park has been now striving to provide optimal benefits for the community surrounding its area through productive economic business development program, as it did in one buffer village, namely Sebangau Mulya. This program aims to improve community welfare, and as a form of community involvement in preserving the TNS area. However, the success of the program remains questionable. This study aims, first, to examine the development of productive economic business programs in Sebangau Mulya Village. Second, to analyze the effect of such program on the welfare of villagers. The research sample was 40 villagers who received direct assistance from the program. This figure account for 10% of the villagers. Descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression were used to study the relationship of 7 independent variables, namely facilitators (X1), institutions (X2), human resources capacity (X3), skills and knowledge of human resources (X4), type of productive economic assistance (X5), counseling and training (X6) and supervision (X7) with 1 dependent variable, i.e. community welfare. The results show that the program has been providing positive benefits, marked by the increase of cattle and goats number, compared to those provided by TNS management five years before. In addition, the program has been successfully tying villagers and TNS management in maintaining and managing the area according to the planned agenda. The factors that partially influence the beneficiaries welfare is skills and knowledge (X4), which is amounting to 26.80%. Since the community in carrying out productive economic businesses is in accordance with their skills and knowledge so that they are able to develop ideal businesses with the environmental conditions of Sebangau Mulya Village. Other six factors have no significant effect on villagers’ welfare.
