Agroforestry activities in Forest Areas with Special Purpose (FASP) have been implemented since 2000 in Parungpanjang, West Java, which was subsequently reinforced by the Decree of the Minister of Environment and Forestry concerning the Recognition and Protection of Forest Partnerships (Kulin KK) for the Harapan Sejahtera and Guna Bakti Forest Farmer Groups in 2019. This study investigates the contribution of agroforestry systems to farmer income using a household survey in the Parungpanjang Research Forest. The study aims to analyze: 1) the contribution of agroforestry to farmer income from a household structured income analysis; 2) factors of agroforestry that influence total farmer household income using multiple regression analysis. The results show that agroforestry systems contributed 15.8% to farmer household income. The highest agroforestry productivity occurs in the age group of 41-45 years with an average of managed land area of 0.65 hectares and average annual income of IDR 16,780,000 (USD 1,198.6)/farmer/year. The statistical model showed that agroforestry income does not have a significant influence on total farmer household income due to differences in the types of commercial crops, motivation, and skill, as well as age related to physical abilities. There are only two agroforestry factors, namely age and land area, that have a significant influence on total farmer income, whereby the direction of the age variable has a negative influence.
The maturity of the R&D institutions through Public Service Agency (BLU) is an effort to increase the relevance in responding stakeholder needs. BLU is present as a solution for R&D institutions in providing goods and/or services that are sold based on the principles of efficiency and productivity. However, the strategic plan for the BLU formation is prepared by submitting a substantive, a technical and an administrative requirement. Therefore, this research facilitates the submission of these requirements through the Pentahelix Collaboration Model, which is the optimization of 5 (five) roles: business, government/management, community, researchers and media by implementing the roadmap at the Forest Tree Seed Technology Research and Development Center. The case study steps to improve all the roles conditions was by adapting Kurt Lewin's action research into 4 (four) stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The role of the business unit is emphasized on market differentiation and business strategy by considering an opportunity to increase revenue realization/financial forecasting ratio. The role of management is emphasized on budget flexibility and remuneration by considering cost accounting and its unit cost calculations. The role of the community is emphasized on the conducive policies by accommodating stakeholders’ need. The role of the researcher is emphasized on the innovation of forest seed’s products/services by improving service quality and managing it with corporate style principles. The role of the media is emphasized on the professionalism of human resources by considering the community satisfaction index.
Pemerintah Indonesia terus mengupayakan peningkatan penerimaan negara bukan pajak (PNBP). Salah satu potensi PNBP adalah pemanfaatan aset negara bagi kepentingan umum, sebagai contoh stasiun-stasiun penelitian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan strategi pengembangan potensi PNBP menggunakan Logical Framework Approach (LFA), dengan studi kasus Stasiun Penelitian Nagrak, Kabupaten Bogor. Agar pelaksanaan tahap-tahap pengembangan potensi PNBP tidak mengalami kegagalan, pengambil kebijakan perlu membangun sebuah hirarki yang berlandaskan pemikiran logis mulai dari input, aktivitas, output, dampak, sampai dengan tujuan yang dirangkum dalam sebuah matrik dan ringkasan rencana kerja. Proses pengembangan LFA dimulai dengan menganalisis permasalahan, tujuan dan strategi. Data dan informasi diperoleh melalui pengamatan terlibat (participant observation) dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa komersialisasi unit operasional benih dan bibit bermutu di Stasiun Penelitian Nagrak memerlukan dukungan kebijakan, di antaranya: (1) perencanaan produksi benih dan bibit dengan pertimbangan kekompetitifan harga (2) produksi benih dan bibit dengan fleksibilitas pengelolaan keuangan, dan (3) peredaran benih dan bibit dengan perlindungan kepada pemangku kepentingan dari penggunaan bibit tidak berkualitas. ABSTRACTThe Indonesian government strives to increase non-tax state revenues (PNBP). One of the potentials PNBP is using the state assets, such as research stations, for the public interest. This paper was aimed to formulate a strategy for the PNBP potential development using the Logical Framework Approach (LFA), with a case study at the Nagrak Research Station, Bogor. In order to avoid the failure when the PNBP potential development's stages are implemented, policy makers need to build a hierarchy based on logical thinking of input, activity, output, impact, objectives and summarized them in a work plans matrix. The process of LFA development starts with the analysis of problems, goals, and strategies. Data and information were obtained through participant observation and documentation studies. The results showed that the commercialization of the operational units of research quality' s seeds and seedlings at the Nagrak Research Station must be supported by the government policy, including: (1) planning of seed and seedling production with the consideration of price competitiveness (2) seeds and seedling production with the financial management flexibilities, and (3) seeds and seedling distribution with stakeholders protection from the non-quality seeds and seedling's utilization.
To ensure that only high-quality seed is marketed, the seed inspector of the registered forestry-seed commercial providers plays a vital role. It will perform all the necessary tasks, including variety inspection, release testing of seed processing, and enforcement of the seed regulation. The registered forestry-seed commercial providers should conform to seed standards. Currently, the availability of high-quality seeds is crucial to achieve predictable planting. In case of unavailability of sufficient qualities standard, the seed inspector allowed for operating the punishment act. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate both the seed inspector and the registered forestry-seed commercial providers to indicate that the seed-regulations implementation is successful. Data are collected by spreading questionnaire and using a narrative-based qualitative method. The result confirms that policy formulation is a challenge to the regulators, but processes effectively tackle this challenge in four sequence stages. The first stage is the problem formulation about seed-sources development, seed variety coordination at permanent nurseries, law reinforcement, and regulator role strengthening. The second stage is policy agenda through controlling over market opportunities by the regulator. The third stage is selecting alternative policies to solve problems by implementing the cluster system based on local-seed variety. The fourth stage is establishing procedures.
Establishing the Cempaka forestry partnership agroforestry demonstration plot in the Batutegi Forest Management Unit, Lampung Province, should increase small-scale farmers’ participation in planting and enhancing their welfare. They need facilitation and supporting programs to evolve continuously, grow business rapidly, and enable forest sustainability. From previous research, the existing training and the extension supporting programs focus on technological improvements in agroforestry demonstration plots, such as modern nurseries training and incentives awarding. There is minimal understanding of small-scale farmers about the broader market chain beyond their direct market. However, improving the market chain will be sustaining the process of innovation and environmental empowerment. The upscale market chain has an impact on poverty alleviation by enhancing institutional capacity and market linkages. Therefore, integrating a market chain perspective is a crucial priority for planning the demonstration plot capacity program. This research intends to design the procedures for linking small-scale farmers to the market chain using a three-sequence phase usually elaborated in the Participatory Market Chain Approach (PMCA). The data were collected by applying a questionnaire, and then they were described by using a narrative-based qualitative method. The emerging results from this study are the policy implications for improving the performance of the market chain in a standard timeline, namely the assessment phase, the innovation phase, and the action phase. Ideally, policy leaders should pay attention to the assessment phase that identifies interactions among market chain actors. The innovation phase develops on-site learning exercises and tests shared innovation. The action phase promotes in topic meetings and action groups.
Rimbawan (foresters) is one of the human resources owned by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. They need to enhance their performance in decreasing forest fire areas. It will affect future public health, economic development, ecological balance, social stability, and land aesthetics. Accordingly, scenario planning helps in contemplating how the future may develop and is especially important when needing to make sense of uncertainty in the forest sustainability management sector. Scenario planning can be narrative-based and represented quantitatively to ensure Rimbawan’s performance level. On the other hand, promoting a more controllable forest fire area has not been fully anticipated. Therefore, this study aims to help environmental policymakers by offering a discovery of basic data for forest fire precautions, forest firefighting, and post-forest fire handling. This study has conducted a descriptively quantitative method. The results suggest that the average forest fire area in South Sumatra Province based on their KPH from 2015-to 2019 is 30.71 percent of those 2,265,457.34 hectares of KPH. Whereas the 1 level of an increase in forest fire prevention activities will reduce the probability of forest fire insight into the upscaled Rimbawan’s performance level through conversation quality and engagement, learning, decision-making style, mental models, and leadership support.
