“…The rate of immigration is unknown. The indigenous Dayak communities used to practice small-scale shifting cultivation [28]. The traditional rotation cropping made land cover change in the past cyclical and gave space to forest regeneration [24].…”

“…Following this approach, targeted interventions in the landscape can be prioritized and developed. We selected the resource-rich districts of West Kutai and Mahakam Ulu, in the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan, because we expected a high occurrence of land cover change driven by land development, the exploitation of natural resources and large-scale fires [28,[36][37][38]. We conducted pixel-to-pixel analyses of land cover change processes and trajectories using locally-acquired Landsat-based land cover maps for the years 1990, 2000 and 2009, to analyze local spatial and temporal processes and trajectories.…”

“…Land cover change studies at the pixel level have proven useful to define which land cover types were replaced by which other types over a certain timescale (e.g., [1,[16][17][18][19][20]). Additionally, we quantified, schematically presented and mapped the stepwise land cover changes, thereby operationalizing the land cover change trajectories that had been defined for the study area in a qualitative way by [28]. We used detailed land cover classes in the analyses of the land cover change processes and trajectories, in order to be able to disentangle processes such as forest degradation, forest regeneration and land use intensification, as well as the land cover types involved in such processes.…”

In Indonesia, land cover change for agriculture and mining is threatening tropical forests, biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, land cover change is highly dynamic and complex and varies over time and space. In this study, we combined Landsat-based land cover (change) mapping, pixel-to-pixel cross tabulations and expert knowledge to analyze land cover change and forest loss in the West Kutai and Mahakam Ulu districts in East Kalimantan from 1990–2009. We found that about one-third of the study area changed in 1990–2009 and that the different types of land cover changes in the study area increased and involved more diverse and characteristic trajectories in 2000–2009, compared to 1990–2000. Degradation to more open forest types was dominant, and forest was mostly lost due to trajectories that involved deforestation to grasslands and shrubs (~17%), and to a lesser extent due to trajectories from forest to mining and agriculture (11%). Trajectories from forest to small-scale mixed cropland and smallholder rubber occurred more frequently than trajectories to large-scale oil palm or pulpwood plantations; however, the latter increased over time. About 11% of total land cover change involved multiple-step trajectories and thus “intermediate” land cover types. The combined trajectory analysis in this paper thus contributes to a more comprehensive analysis of land cover change and the drivers of forest loss, which is essential to improve future land cover projections and to support spatial planning.

“…Conceptually, swidden agriculture has a close relationship with social forestry. Pasaribu (2007), Sardjono (2007), and Inoue and Kawai (2013) define social forestry as any conditions and efforts which intimately involve local people in forestry activities to ensure economic, ecological and social benefits, and simultaneously sustain the resources. Dove (1988) and Inoue (1999) point out that the term 'shifting cultivation' is often taken to mean that the people are themselves 'shifting' or semi-nomadic, even though most of them live in relatively permanent settlements.…”

Imang N, Rujehan, Duakaju NN. 2018. Assessment of daleh swidden agriculture as an innovative alternative to conventional swidden under conditions of external pressure on local forest management in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 840-848. Swidden agriculture is still an important livelihood for millions of people in the tropics. In Kalimantan Island of Indonesia, swidden agriculture is currently facing many external pressures such as massive expansion of oil palm plantations, concession for industrial plantations, and non-availability of financial and political support from the government. The above external pressures which ignore local wisdom in forest and land management have reduced the land available for swidden agriculture. The external pressures, in turn, have shortened the cycle of swidden agriculture and decreased the productivity of swidden agriculture. The objectives of the present study are to assess socio-cultural and economic aspects of the innovative daleh agriculture as an alternative to conventional swidden agriculture under these conditions. The study was conducted in an indigenous Bahau Dayak community of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Twenty swiddeners and 6 other key informants were interviewed for data collection. Research findings confirm that the expansion of oil palm plantations has ignored the wisdom in forest and land management, in general, and caused pressure on swidden agriculture, in particular. Under such pressures, daleh swidden agriculture may be effectively practiced because it can increase land productivity and is also culturally acceptable. Further, financial and facilitation support from district government is needed to improve the practice of swidden agriculture in the study area.

“…The widespread production of food and nonfood cash crops in tropical rural areas often provides more prosperity to producers than subsistence crops (Sayer et al, 2012). However, in the past few decades, land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes for the production of cash crops, such as oil palm and rubber, have led to the conversion of forests, peatlands, rice fields and the agricultural lands of local communities (Gibbs et al, 2010;Wicke et al, 2011;Susanti & Burgers, 2012;Inoue et al, 2013;Abood et al, 2014;Laurance et al, 2014). Such LULC change can be classified as 'unwanted' because it leads to decreased carbon stocks, diminished biodiversity, reduced local food production and the displacement of local communities (Fargione et al, 2008;Koh & Wilcove, 2008;Hooijer et al, 2010;Sodhi et al, 2010;Abood et al, 2014;Immerzeel et al, 2014;Laurance et al, 2014).…”

Mitigation of unwanted direct and indirect land‐use change – an integrated approach illustrated for palm oil, pulpwood, rubber and rice production in North and East Kalimantan, Indonesia

The widespread production of cash crops can result in the decline of forests, peatlands, rice fields and local community land. Such unwanted land-use and land-cover (LULC) change can lead to decreased carbon stocks, diminished biodiversity, displaced communities and reduced local food production. In this study, we analysed to what extent four main commodities, namely, palm oil, pulpwood, rice and rubber, can be produced in North and East Kalimantan in Indonesia without such unwanted LULC change. We investigated the technical potential of four measures to mitigate unwanted LULC change between 2008 and 2020 under low, medium and high scenarios, referring to the intensities of the mitigation measures compared with those implemented in 2008. These measures are related to land sparing through (i) the improvements of yields, (ii) chain efficiencies, (iii) chain integration and (iv) the steering of any expansion of these commodities to suitable and available underutilised (potentially degraded) lands. Our analyses resulted in a land-sparing potential of 0.4-1.2 Mha (i.e. 24-62% of the total land demand of the commodities) between 2008 and 2020, depending on the land-use projection of the four commodities and the scenario for implementing the mitigation measures. Additional expansion on underutilised land is the most important mitigation measure (45-62% of the total potential), followed by yield improvements as the second most important mitigation measure (32-46% of the total potential). Our study shows that reconciling the production of palm oil, pulpwood, rice and rubber with the maintenance of existing agricultural lands, forests and peatlands is technically possible only (i) under a scenario of limited agricultural expansion, (ii) if responsible land zoning is applied and enforced and (iii) if the yields and chain efficiencies are strongly improved.
