The questions asked were mainly about the utilization of vegetation in pekarangan, particularly plant function and its history. Before commencing interviews and data collection, the surveyors sought out the Kepala Dusun or Kepala Kampung (head of hamlet, the informal leader), who assisted in the search for pekarangan and helped to reassure respondents of the positive […]

The pekarangan plot survey samples were designed through three levels of con­sideration following the preceding process. The first level of consideration of this design is the different stream directions of the rivers where the watershed lies in either southern areas (SAs) and northern areas (NAs); this is called orientation level. The two sides of the […]

The research sites are in four watersheds that were selected based on their location close to the national parks: Cisadane (CS), Ciliwung (CL), Cimandiri (CM), and Cibuni (CB) watersheds. In addition, we also considered their orientation, lying from south to north (Fig. 17.2). Although CB is located a little far from GGP National Park, it […]

The aims of this study are to determine the contribution of pekarangan in preserv­ing protected areas and to visualize its benefit for rural communities. When pekarangan is well managed, it can provide real benefits in term of income, nutrition, and other needs. In addition, when communities revitalize pekarangan optimally, the protected areas will be more […]

The landscape ecology-based approach focuses on three aspects: structure, func­tion, and change (Forman and Godron 1986). The fourth aspect, which was added lately, is culture. These four aspects were elaborated into the homegardens concept as an ecological process in human activities. Recently, encroaching on the forest is a major problem for some local governments in […]

The fourth aspect, which was added recently, is culture. These four aspects were attempted to be elaborated into the homegardens condition as an ecological process in human activities. As traditional […]

Some information on demographics and household economics was collected from the local people using the questionnaire. In total, 210 respondents were selected from six villages in the transition zone of GGPNP. The data revealed that 361,002 people lived within the area (Mulcahy and Mc Carthy 2010). Table 16.3 shows general information about the six villages […]

This study was conducted in six selected villages: Gunungputri, Sarongge, Tangsel, Pasirhantap, Pasirbuncir, and Cibeling. These villages represent the typical village in the border of GGPNP Biosphere Reserve having high dependency on forest products. Using the stratified random sampling method, demographic information and details of household economics were collected. The primary data were col­lected though […]

16.2.1 Study Areas Gunung Gede Pangrango Biosphere Reserve, better known as GGPNP, is a protected area that functions as a core zone of Cibodas Biosphere Reserve (Wiratno et al. 2003). It is one of the seven Biosphere Reserves in Indonesia, recognized by Legend I Biosphere reserve boundaries j GGPNP boundanes — District boundanes Sukabumi Fig. […]

Nobukazu Nakagoshi, Heri Suheri, and Rizki Amelgia Abstract Indonesia’s forest has high biodiversity in flora and fauna. The govern­ment has tried to maintain this biodiversity through managing the forest in accor­dance with the existing functions and conditions. Population is increasing, which affects demands for land and wood consumption. Statistics of the Ministry of Forestry (2010) […]
