“…Initially, there was some apprehension among scientists and traditional knowledge holders about working together, but over time, they have come to value collaborating to share knowledge, as has been our experience in similar contexts (Wolfe et al 2007). It is often difficult for people who are more comfortable with technical information and 'hard facts' to engage someone whose knowledge emerges from ongoing interactions with the land, and who might communicate that knowledge through stories, perceptions of change, and a tendency to situate their knowledge in a broader discourse about values (Wolfe et al 2007;Armitage et al 2011;Taylor and de Loë 2012). Ultimately, these changes in relationships and focus on knowledge require a tacit recognition of differences in power, willingness on the part of the individuals involved to relinquish in some cases the positions of power they do hold, and a commitment to trust building (Armitage et al 2009).…”

“…Integrating different kinds of knowledge in water decision making can be extremely challenging because of differing, potentially contradictory, and sometimes incompatible ways of knowing (e.g., between scientific and traditional knowledge systems). Openness to the use of multiple types of knowledge is important for legitimate decision-making processes (Taylor and de Loë 2012), as is a commitment to processes of 'knowledge coproduction' in which a plurality of knowledge sources and types is brought together to define and resolve problems (Armitage et al 2011). Processes of knowledge co-production are not intended to resolve situations where knowledge and understanding about water conditions are incommensurate.…”

In this policy perspective, we outline several conditions to support effective science-policy interaction, with a particular emphasis on improving water governance in transboundary basins. Key conditions include (1) recognizing that science is a crucial but bounded input into water resource decision-making processes; (2) establishing conditions for collaboration and shared commitment among actors; (3) understanding that social or group-learning processes linked to science-policy interaction are enhanced through greater collaboration; (4) accepting that the collaborative production of knowledge about hydrological issues and associated socioeconomic change and institutional responses is essential to build legitimate decision-making processes; and (5) engaging boundary organizations and informal networks of scientists, policy makers, and civil society. We elaborate on these conditions with a diverse set of international examples drawn from a synthesis of our collective experiences in assessing the opportunities and constraints (including the role of power relations) related to governance for water in transboundary settings.

“…Hal tersebut diharapkan dapat menghasilkan pemahaman yang lebih baik dari sistem tertentu yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat (Taylor & Loë, 2012). Pengetahuan lokal yang dipahami oleh masyarakat diterapkan berdasarkan pengalaman dan praktek dalam kehidupan seharihari yang menyesuaikan dengan ekosistem atau lingkungan lokal masyarakat tersebut (Ballard et al, 2008).…”

Kearifan Lokal Masyarakat sebagai Upaya Konservasi Hutan Pelawan di Kabupaten Bangka Tengah, Bangka Belitung

ABSTRAKPenurunan keanekaragaman hayati umumnya disebabkan oleh adanya degradasi sumberdaya hayati dan kurangnya upaya konservasi. Oleh karena itu, salah satu upaya konservasi sumberdaya alam dapat dilakukan dengan mengintegrasikan kearifan lokal masyarakat dalam melestarikan lingkungan yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober 2016-Februari 2017 di Hutan Pelawan, Kabupaten Bangka Tengah, Bangka Belitung. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasi, wawancara secara mendalam (In-depth Interview) dan FGD (Focus Group Discussion) yang terbagi menjadi small group discussion dan final group discussion. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sejarah penamaan Hutan Pelawan berasal dari pohon pelawan (Tristaniopsis merguensis Griff.) yang mendominasi kawasan hutan tersebut. Hutan ini mengalami pro dan kontra sebelum ditetapkan sebagai kawasan Taman Keanekaragaman Hayati (Taman Kehati) Kabupaten Bangka Tengah. Pada saat ini, kondisi hutan tersebut telah memiliki tiga fungsi utama yaitu: konservasi sumberdaya hayati, pembangunan berkelanjutan, dan logistic support (penelitian, pendidikan, dan monitoring). Kearifan lokal masyarakat yang masih terjaga dan berkaitan langsung dengan upaya konservasi sumberdaya alam Hutan Pelawan masih dapat ditemukan seperti tradisi musung madu dengan cara membuat sunggau untuk mendapatkan hasil berupa air madu dari Apis dorsata (madu liar). Selain itu, masyarakat juga masih mempercayai tentang mitos tumbuh jamur Pelawan (Heimioporus sp.) yang hanya dapat tumbuh pada inang pohon T. merguensis disaat adanya hujan petir. Oleh karena itu, perlunya mengintegrasikan kearifan lokal masyarakat dalam mendukung upaya konservasi dengan merevitalisasi dan mereaktualisasi kearifan lokal tersebut yang diberi dasar hukum sebagai dasar kekuatan masyarakat, serta perlunya kajian penelitian yang ilmiah dalam mendukung kearifan lokal sebagai upaya konservasi lingkungan sehingga memberi dampak positif bagi kehidupan masyarakat tersebut.Kata kunci: Kearifan lokal, sumberdaya hayati, konservasi, hutan pelawan. ABSTRACTThe decrease in biodiversity is generally caused by the degradation of biological resources and the lack of conservation efforts. Therefore, one of nature resource conservation efforts can be done by integrating local wisdom of society in preserving environment sustainable. This research was conducted on October 2016-February 2017 in Pelawan Forest, Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung. The research method used is observation, In-depth Interview and FGD (Focus Group Discussion) divided into small group discussion and final group discussion. The results show that the history of naming the Pelawan Forest comes from the tree of Pelawan (Tristaniopsis merguensis Griff.) that dominate the forest area. This forest is experiencing pros and cons before it is designated as Biodiversity Park of Central Bangka Regency. At the moment, the forest condition already has three functions, namely: biological resource conservation, sustainable development, and logistic support (research, ...
