Abstract

Sejarah kehidupan menunjukkan bahwa mikroba memprakarsai munculnya kehidupan, yang kemudian diikuti oleh tanaman berhijau daun, hewan dan manusia. Meskipun manusia sebenarnya muncul setelah bentuk­bentuk kehidupan lainnya, namun pada kenyataannya, manusia telah mengalami evolusi sebagai makluk yang paling sempurna. Karena evolusi seperti itu, manusia dapat mengembangkan peradaban sehingga mampu mengubah gaya hidupnya. Dalam hal ini, teori adaptasi dan integrasi menjadi penting dalam menjaga stabilitas hubungan antara organisme satu dengan lainnya dalam sebuah ekosistem. Dengan demikian, ekosistem dengan segala relung dan isinya adalah realitas yang dinamis dan terus menerus berubah. Dalam artikel ini akan diuraikan dan dijelaskan hubungan keterkaitan antara kebudayaan di Indonesia dalam konteks konservasi sumberdaya alam dalam studi ekologi manusia (human ecology).

Abstract

SUSIARTI, S., PURWANTO, Y. & WALUJO, E.B. 2009. Medicinal plant diversity in the Tesso Nilo National Park, Riau, Sumatra, Indonesia. Reinwardtia  12(5): 383–390- A study of traditional knowledge on plant uses especially medicinal plants of the local community, was conducted in 2003 at the Situgal Village and its surrounding area in the Tesso Nilo National Park at the Logas Tanah Darat District, Riau Province, Sumatra, Indonesia. Research methods included open-ended discussion and direct observation. To better assess the extractive activities and the utilization of the plant diversity by the local people, an index of cultural significance (ICS) analysis was employed. Research results showed that local people in Situgal still use a large number of plants for medicinal purposes and rely on ethnobotanical knowledge in their daily life. We recorded 86 species belonging to 78 genera and 46 families of plants having ethnobotanical values. Eighty-two species are used for medicinal purposes and the remaining 4 species for fish poisons. Those species can be used to cure approximately 38 types of illness. The ICS analysis for the potential value of each species showed that  ‘patalo bumi’  (Eurycoma longifolia) is the most important species and well utilized by local community in the Tesso Nilo NP area.

Abstract

Based on ethnobotanical data, agricultural practice and floristic analysis (simple and transect analysis), the author tries to evaluate human impact on vegetation cover. He attempts also to show that originally this environment consisted of two different types i.e. dry and humid, each of which corresponded to a certain floristic composition. There is a tendency for this difference in composition to decrease there where human interference is strongest,i.e. on land under cultivation. It is difficult to verify that there is any part of Insana that is not influenced directly or indirectly by human intervention. It is evident that the practice of slash and burn has had the strongest influence on the transformation of the vegetation cover.However, we have to consider also that the introduction of Bah cattle to this territory has had a great impact on the modification of the environment. Meanwhile there is a tendency to increase the number of species or varieties of economic plants, in particular food plants.

Abstract

DEWI, A. P., ARIYANTI N. S. & WALUJO, E. B. 2016. Diversity of plants used for plaited crafts by the Dayak Iban-Désa in Kabupaten Sintang, Kalimantan Barat. Reinwardtia 15(2): 67 – 79. — Many plants are used for making plaited crafts such as basketry and woven mats by the Dayak Iban-Désa, a sub-tribe of the Dayak in Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia. The Dayak Iban-Désa gather the craft materials mostly from the plants in the forest. However, the habitats of these plants are being threatened by deforestation. The diversity of plants used for crafts is here documented. This study recorded the scientific names of plant species used for the craft plaiting, and observed abundance of plants used for craft. Information about the plants used were gathered using non-structural interview and focus group discussion (FGD) with the informants and participants. The abundance of plaited plants was observed in 46 plots of 10 × 10 m2 plots by participative ecological method. Nineteen plants species were used as plaited material, belonging to four families: Arecaceae, Poaceae, Pandanaceae and Zingiberaceae. Two species of rattan (Calamus sp. and Plectocomiopsis wrayi Becc.) have the highest Index Cultural Significance (ICS) value. Those species were considered as the most valuable plant materials because of the quality of fiber, intensity on harvesting, and the resulting quality of plaited craft products. However, the demand for high quality products is not always supported by the availability of plant materials in the forest. Therefore, the cultural significance of plants (the ICS values) and their availability should be considered when determining the conservation strategy for each of these species.

Abstract

Ethnobotany Contributes to The Understanding Human Relationship with Plant and TheirEnvironment. The scope of ethnobotanical research has been developed to a broader scopefrom the originated word of ethnobotany was coined.. This discipline attempts to explainreciprocal relationships which occur between local societies and its natural world, in extant,between local societies and their cultures that reflected in the archeological records.Ethnobotany is also very closely related to the domestication of plants such as the speciesdomesticated, where these species domesticated, the purpose of domestication, the manner,and the status of the domesticated plants today. Etnobothany also concerns to the role ofplants in ecology, environment and phytogeography as conceived by tradition or by the localcommunities. In addition to its traditional role in economic botany and the exploration ofhuman cognition, ethnobotanical research has been applied to the practical areas such asbiodiversity prospecting and vegetation management. Thus ideally, ethnobotany shouldincludes rules and categorization acknowledged by local communities. Rules and categorizationare use to appropriately facing daily social situations in recognizing, interpreting and utilizingplant resources in their environment. In summary, the scope of research in ethnobotany isinterdisciplinary and ethnoscience as mentioned earlier and these scopes will be the mainfocus of discussion in this article. In particular, in its relation to the strategic position ofIndonesia based on wealth, diversity of plants, species and ecosystems and socio-culturallife.Key Words: Ethnobotany, Localknowledge, Wisdom

Abstract

Pelawan padang (Tristaniopsis merguensis) plays an important role in providing daily needs including goods and services for Lom community in Bangka island. Recently,  modernization has an impact on the indigenous knowledge related to plants utilization in Lom community, especially pelawan padang. The aims of the study were to analyze the roles and benefits and to determine ethnobotanical knowledge changes of Lom people on the use of pelawan padang. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire. Pebble Distribution Method (PDM) was used to analyze the quantitative data, while the qualitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistic. The result showed that pelawan padang can be used for material construction, firewood, honey production, traditional medicine and material of bagan traditional stilt houses. The degradation of indigenous knowledge of Lom people related to natural resources such as pelawan padang could be assessed according to individual factors which were; age classes and occupation. More respondents aged over 40 years showed the ability in identifying and using Pelawan padang compared to the younger (25-40 years old). According to occupational group,  there was higher number of unemployed respondents and respondents working as farmers that used pelawan padang compared to respondents working as employee. No difference was found for tribal leaders and community members regarding to the knowledge of Pelawan padang benefits. This study provides the latest information about the benefits of plants from the Lom Community that can be developed through the further research, especially for the benefits pelawan padang as a drug.
