Daftar Isi:
- Forests play a vital role in both environmental and economic development. They maintain not only ecological sustainability, but also provide economic resources such as wood and non wood products. To create its sustainability, the forest management must be conducted on the basic of landscape characteristics of the forest itself. This research aims to analyze characteristics of ecology and social economics of the forest landscape in a critical and a non critical watershesds. Understanding of the characteristics is crucial to set a policy for a sustainable forest landscape management system. The Baturusa and the Cidanau watersheds were chosen as research locations based on representation of the critical and the non critical watershed areas. The data from 2009 were analyzed by the GIS and the qualitative descriptive methods. The result showed that ecological characteristics of the Cidanau watershed were better than those of the Baturusa watershed. However, the economic characteristics of the Baturusa watershed were better than those of the Cidanau watershed. In addition, both areas have similar condition in social characteristics. The programs that have positive impacts on the forest landscape characteristics are a payment environmental service mechanism and intensive campaign to the community regarding the importance of forest conservation.
- Hutan memiliki peran penting baik dalam pembangunan lingkungan dan pembangunan ekonomi. Untuk mewujudkan kelestarian tersebut, sistem pengelolaan hutan harus memperhatikan karakteristik lanskap hutan itu sendiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik ekologi dan sosial ekonomi DAS kritis dan tidak kritis. Pengetahuan tentang karakteristisk tersebut sangat penting untuk menentukan kebijakan sistem pengelolaan lanskap hutan yang lestari pada suatu wilayah DAS. DAS Cidanau dan DAS Baturusa dipilih sebagai lokasi penelitian dengan pertimbangan keduanya mewakili DAS tidak kritis dan kritis. Data yang dianalisa adalah data tahun 2009 dengan menggunakan metode analisa GIS dan deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil analisis menunjukan bahwa karakteristik ekologi DAS Cidanau lebih baik dibandingkan DAS Baturusa. Sebaliknya, karakteristik ekonomi DAS Baturusa lebih baik dibandingkan DAS Cidanau. Berdasarkan karakteristik sosial, kedua DAS tersebut menunjukan kondisi yang hampir sama. Kegiatan yang dapat memberikan dampak positif terhadap karakteristik lanskap hutan adalah mekanisme jasa lingkungan hulu hilir serta sosialisasi atau penyuluhan tentang pentingnya konservasi hutan kepada masyarakat secara intensif.
