ABSTRACTUlmus lanceifolia is a plant from the Ulmaceae family that is a mainstay of the Karo ethnic community as a building material for Karo ethnic traditional houses. Ulmus lanceifolia has ecological features such as special habitats that grow and live on limestone. Lau Buluh village is one of the villages that has natural resources, namely limestone which is quite abundant in Karo Regency. The wealth of limestone in Lau Buluh Village is an attraction for the cement industry. This can be a threat to plants in the forests of Lau Buluh Village, especially U. lanceifolia. Therefore, this study aims to determine the existence, number and distribution patterns of U. lanceifolia plants and become the basic data for the existence of U. lanceifolia. Ulmus lanceifolia which was found was 97 individuals with a morisita index value of 0.508, and the highest INP value at Semai level was 40% and a 36% tree formed an inverted J chart pattern on the results of each level of life. These results indicate that U. lanceifolia has good regeneration and has a clustered scattered pattern."

"Kesehatan ibu dan anak adalah salah satu indikator derajat kesehatan yang dapat dinilai sebagai keberhasilan pelayanan kesehatan dan menjadi komponen indeks pembangunan dan indeks kualitas hidup. Namun, masalah kematian dan kesakitan Ibu dan anak di Indonesia masih merupakan masalah besar. Dengan demikian, pelayanan kesehatan ibu dan anak menjadi prioritas utama dalam pembangunan kesehatan di Indonesia. Upaya penurunan angka kematian ibu dan anak diperlukan sistem pencatatan dan pelaporan yang memiliki kualitas data dan utilitas data yang baik. Pelaporan dan pencatatan kesehatan ibu dan anak digunakan untuk melihat dan memantau faktor-faktor resiko dan non resiko selama proses kehamilan normal maupun tidak normal dalam melakukan intervensi segera. Puskesmas Berastagi dan Puskesmas Tiga Panah merupakan beberapa dari Puskesmas yang ditemukan ketidaksambungan data, tidak kredibel di Kabupaten Karo. Risiko dari data yang tidak kredibel adalah tidak bisa mengetahui besarnya masalah yang sesungguhnya sehingga tidak bisa memonitor, mengevaluasi keberhasilan atau kegagalan program. Pukesmas Berastagi dan Tiga Panah menerima pelaporan KIA dari Bidan di Desa. Oleh karena itu diperlukan adanya evaluasi sistem pencatatan dan pelaporan kesehatan ibu dan anak untuk melihat data kesehatan ibu dan anak yang ada di Puskesmas Berastagi dan Tiga Panah terutama pelaporan data dari Bidan di Desa. Penelitian ini merupakan peneltian kualitatif dengan pengambilan data melalui wawancara, observasi dan studi dokumentasi.

Maternal and child health is one indicator of health status that can be assessed as the success of health services and is a component of the development index and quality of life index. However, the problem of maternal and child mortality and morbidity in Indonesia is still a big problem. Thus, maternal and child health services are a top priority in health development in Indonesia. Efforts to reduce maternal and child mortality require a recording and reporting system that has good data quality and data utility.Maternal and child health reporting and records are used to view and monitor risk and non-risk factors during normal and abnormal pregnancy processes in carrying out immediate interventions. Puskesmas Berastagi and Puskesmas Tiga Panah are some of the Puskesmas that were found to be data disconnected, not credible in Karo District. The risk of data that is not credible is not being able to know the true magnitude of the problem and so being unable to monitor, evaluate the success or failure of the program. Pukesmas Berastagi and Tiga Panah receive MCH reports from the village midwife. Therefore, it is necessary to have an evaluation of the recording and reporting system for maternal and child health to see the data on maternal and child health at the Berastagi and Tiga Panah Puskesmas, especially the reporting of data from village midwives. This research is a qualitative research by collecting data through observation interviews and documentation studies. The results showed that Puskesmas Berastagi has better data quality than Tiga Panah Puskesmas but there are still villages that need improvement in data quality; b. The assessment of the five components of the data management function, Puskesmas Berastagi has the lowest value data and information utilization, while for Tiga Panah Puskesmas that data processing and analysis as well as data and information utilization has the lowest value; Berastagi Puskesmas has an e-puskesmas but it does not yet support MCH recording and reporting, while the Tiga Panah Puskesmas does not have an e-puskesmas / SIMPUS; there isn’t standard operating procedures; Forms that were not regularly available for Village Midwives at Puskesmas Berastagi while Puskesmas Tiga Panah were available regularly but were still found. Village midwives sent them with a sheet of paper; there is no written policy regarding MCH recording and reporting; never done pre and post test at Puskesamas Berastagi and Tiga Panah; Berastagi Puskesmas does not have special funds for recording and reporting MCH."

"ABSTRAKHutan rakyat kemitraan telah dianggap sebagai strategi baru dalam menghadapi masalah sosial ekonomi yang dihadapi oleh model pengelolaan konvensional bersamaan dengan masalah keberlanjutan pasokan bahan baku kayu industri. Melalui kebijakan, pemerintah telah berupaya mendukung pembangunannya.

ABSTRACTAs a new strategy to solve socio economic problems faced by conventional private forest management along with sustainability issue of industrial wood supply, government has issued policies to support the development of private forest partnership between forest farmers group and timber based industry. Some facts showed private forest partnership has low standing stock that indicates the private forest sustainability has not been reached yet. This research is aimed to 1 analyze private forest partnership policy and its implementation between forest farmer group and timber based industry in terms of cooperation aspects production facilities and infrastructure, fostering, financial support and timber market 2 analyze wood standing stock management based on criteria of silviculture, cutting needs behavior and farmers income and 3 formulate the sustainable private forest partnership policy. Content analysis was utilized to identify all policies related to private forestry partnerships, while the policy implementation was analyzed by the formal evaluation method. Descriptive method was implemented to analyze the standing stock management and Analytical Hierarchy Process AHP as a method to formulate the concept of sustainable private forest partnership policy. The results showed that private forest partnership policy now is more focused on production facilities and infrastructure aspect. The level of policy implementation in research location is at low grade, it was only reached 16,28 , while 43,75 of private forest partnerships in the research area are not sustainable due to the low of its standing stock. Analysis of wood standing stock management indicated that silviculture play dominant role with its highest value on scale of standing stock management criteria. This research also proved that fostering the farmers is a key factor to develop sustainable private forest partnership policy."

"Perubahan iklim memberikan dampak pada pertanian di Indonesia sehingga petani harus beradaptasi agar tetap dapat bertahan hidup. Agenda pembangunan berkelanjutan menekankan masyarakat di negara berkembang untuk meningkatkan kemampuan adaptasi perubahan iklim, khususnya perempuan, pemuda, dan komunitas. Petani perempuan kepala keluarga lebih rentan terhadap perubahan iklim dan kemiskinan diakibatkan oleh peran ganda yang harus dipikulnya. Kapital sosial yang dimiliki petani perempuan kepala keluarga mempengaruhi pengambilan keputusan adaptasi perubahan iklim. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat kapital sosial yang dimiliki petani perempuan kepala keluarga dan peran kapital sosial tersebut dalam upaya beradaptasi dari dampak perubahan iklim yang dibahas dari disiplin Ilmu Kesejahteraan Sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk membantu memperdalam analisis mengenai kapital sosial yang dimiliki petani perempuan kepala keluarga. Teknik pengumpulan data yang dilakukan adalah wawancara semi terstruktur dan studi dokumen. Lokasi penelitian dilakukan di Desa Ndokum Siroga selama 2 bulan pada Februari 2023 sampai Maret 2023. Informan penelitian diambil menggunakan teknik purposive sampling berjumlah 9 orang yang terdiri dari 6 petani perempuan kepala keluarga dan 3 penjual pupuk dan obat pertanian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan petani perempuan kepala keluarga memiliki kapital sosial bonding, kapital sosial linking, dan trust dalam upaya beradaptasi dari perubahan iklim. Kapital sosial ini berperan dalam memberikan informasi mengenai upaya adaptasi dari dampak perubahan iklim, menjadi sarana belajar adaptasi perubahan iklim, dan mempengaruhi petani perempuan kepala keluarga dalam mengambil keputusan adaptasi perubahan iklim. Informasi adaptasi ini berguna untuk mengatasi permasalahan peningkatan hama dan penyakit tanaman, dan mengatasi permasalahan penurunan kualitas tanah dengan cara melakukan pemilihan jenis bibit, peningkatan intensitas penggunaan obat dan pupuk, tumpang sari, penggunaan mulsa plastik, peningkatan penggunaan dolomit, kapur pertanian, dan kompos, dan melakukan rotasi tanaman. Trust dalam hal ini berperan dalam menentukan apakah petani perempuan akan mempraktikkan informasi yang diterimanya dari hubungan sosialnya dengan pihak-pihak lain. Penelitian ini pada akhirnya menyimpulkan meskipun kapital sosial bonding dan linking sama-sama berperan dalam memberikan informasi mengenai adaptasi perubahan iklim, terdapat perbedaan kualitas informasi yang diterima petani perempuan kepala keluarga di mana kapital sosial bonding memampukan petani perempuan untuk bertahan dari dampak perubahan iklim sedangkan kapital sosial linking memampukan petani perempuan untuk mandiri dan maju. Sayangnya, tidak semua petani perempuan kepala keluarga memiliki akses pada kapital sosial linking karena perempuan masih belum menjadi prioritas dalam pertanian dibanding laki-laki. Penelitian ini memberikan manfaat bagi pengembangan ilmu kesejahteraan sosial pada mata kuliah masalah kemiskinan mengenai kelompok yang rentan mengalami kemiskinan.

Climate change has an impact on agriculture in Indonesia so that farmers must adapt to survive. The sustainable development agenda emphasizes people in developing countries to increase their ability to adapt to climate change, especially women, youth, and communities. Female farmer-headed households are more vulnerable to climate change and poverty due to the multiple roles they must carry. The social capital owned by female farmer-headed households influences decision making on climate change adaptation. This study aims to look at the social capital owned by female farmers as heads of families and the role of this social capital in efforts to adapt to the impacts of climate change discussed in the Social Welfare Science discipline. This study uses qualitative methods to help deepen the analysis of the social capital owned by female farmer-headed households. Data collection techniques used were semi-structured interviews and documentation studies. The research location was conducted in Ndokum Siroga Village for 2 months from February 2023 to March 2023. The research informants were taken using a purposive sampling technique with a total of 9 people consisting of 6 female farmer-headed households and 3 sellers of fertilizers and agricultural medicines. The results showed that female farmer-headed households have social bonding capital, social linking capital, and trust in efforts to adapt to climate change. This social capital plays a role in providing information regarding adaptation efforts from the impacts of climate, being a learning tool for climate change adaptation and, and influencing female farmer-heads households in making climate change adaptation decisions. This adaptation information is useful for overcoming the problem of increasing pests and plant diseases and overcoming the problem of decreasing soil quality by selecting seed types, increasing the intensity of the use of drugs and fertilizers, intercropping, using plastic mulch, increasing the use of dolomite, agricultural lime, and compost. and do crop rotation. Trust in this case plays a role in determining whether the female farmer will put into practice the information she receives from her social relations with other parties. This research ultimately concludes that although bonding and linking social capital both play a role in providing information about adaptation to climate change, there are differences in the quality of information received by female farmers as heads of families where bonding social capital enables female farmers to survive the impacts of climate change while social linking capital enable women farmers to be independent and progressive. Unfortunately, not all female farmer-headed households have access to social linking capital because women are still not a priority in agriculture compared to men. This research provides benefits for the development of social welfare science in the subject of poverty issues concerning groups that are vulnerable to poverty."

"Analisis vegetasi dan studi regenerasi di Hutan Adat Imbo Mengkadai (HAIM), Desa Temenggung, Kabupaten Sarolangun, Provinsi jambi dilakukan pada bulan Oktober - Desember 2012. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode petak 1 hektare. Inventarisasi spesies-spesies pohon dilakukan dengan 100 petak yang masing-masing berukuran 10x10 m. Hasil inventaris pohon diameter ≥ 10 cm tercatat 79 spesies, dari 765 individu pohon dengan total luas bidang dasar 44,85 m2. Tercatat pula untuk tingkat belta sebanyak 82 spesies, dari 1404 individu dengan total luas bidang dasar 7,70 m2. Pada tingkat semai sebanyak 64 spesies, dari 797 individu dengan total luas bidang dasar 0,02 m2. Kepindis putih (Sloetia elongata) mendominasi pada tingkat pohon, yang diikuti oleh Kelat merah (Ctenolophon parvifolius) dengan nilai kepentingan (NK) berturut - turut 28, 97% dan 19,68%. Analisis sebaran spesies terdapat 21 spesies umumnya terdapat di hutan sekunder dan 75 spesies umumnya terdapat di hutan primer. Seluruh pohon yang terdapat di HAIM adalah tumbuhan asli yang tumbuh secara alami, dan beberapa di antaranya termasuk dalam kategori langka dan dilindungi oleh hukum di Indonesia. Di antara 10 spesies utama S. elongata, Baccaurea javanica dan C. parvifolius merupakan spesies memiliki jumlah belta dan semai yang tinggi. Pohon Kepindis putih (S. elongata) merupakan spesies dengan jumlah kerapatan tinggi pada tingkat pohon dan pada belta sebaliknya pada tingkat semai menurun. Hal tersebut menunjukkan mungkin suatu saat nanti S. elongata akan berkurang di kawasan hutan adat dan digantikan oleh spesies lain, seperti B. javanica yang jumlahnya menjadi lebih dominan. Keadaan struktur dan komposisi flora HAIM yang sedang mengalami suksesi dapat menuju hutan klimaks jika kawasan tidak terganggu. Sebanyak 78 spesies atau 81,25% dari total keseluruhan spesies pohon yang tercatat mengalami regenerasi dalam kawasan. Di masa depan HAIM akan didominasi oleh spesies pohon hutan primer seperti Ctenolophon parvifolius dan spesies-spesies dari famili Dipterocarpaceae, dengan pohon induk saat ini tersebar di seluruh kawasan HAIM.

Vegetation analysis and tree regeneration study in the Hutan Adat Imbo Mengkadai (HAIM), Temenggung Village, Sarolangun Regency, Jambi Province was conducted from October until December 2012. A tree species enumeration was carried out in a one-hectare plot. A total of 765 trees (diameter at breast high, dbh ≥ 10 cm) with total basal area of 44,85 m2 comprising 96 species were recorded. The sapling species recorded were 82, consisting of 1404 individuals, with a total basal area of 7,70 m2 while for the seedlings 797 individuals with a total basal area of 0.02 m2were recorded, representing 64 species. Kepindis putih (Sloetia elongata) and Kelat merah (Ctenolophon parvifolius) were dominant with the Importance Values of 28,97% and 19,68% respectively. The presence of S. elongata, C. parvifolius, Shorea spp., Pimelodendron griffithianum, among others , indicated that the forest was a regenerating natural forest leading to the primary forest. Among the 96 species recorded, 21 species were trees commonly found in secondary forests and 75 species of trees the primary forest. All tress in the forest are native plant that grows naturally, some of which are included in the category of rare and protected by the laws of Indonesia. Among the 10 prevalent species, S. elongata, Baccaurea javanica, and C. parvifolius contained the highest number of sapling and seedling. The Kepindis putih tree S. elongata, which was the species with highest in the sapling stage and contained high density in seedling stages may initially grow readily in the forest, but it will be eventually replaced as the dominant by other primary forest species, such as Ctenolophon parvifolius and Shorea spp. In term of structure and floristic composition, the forest at HAIM is undergoing succession leading to the climax forest if undisturbed. A total of 78 species (81,25%) have been regenerating in the plot. In the future the forest will be dominated by primary forest species, whose parent trees are currently scattered throughout the forest of HAIM."

"ABSTRAKStudi ini bertujuan untuk memahami pembelahan etnik Karo di Sumatra Utara. Masalahdirumuskan pada pertanyaan: bagaimanakah pembelahan etnik Karo dilakukan selama periodekolonialisme? Paradigma yang digunakan pada kajian ini adalah sejarah etnik denganpendekatan mixed epistemologi, yakni menggabungkan pendekatan sejarah, antropologibudaya, dan arkeologi untuk menelaah proses sejarah dan budaya yang memunculkanpembelahan etnik. Penelitian dijalankan secara kualitatif. Dapat disimpulkan bahwapembelahan etnik Karo merupakan fenomena pengontruksian identitas selama periodekolonialisme, yang didasarkan pada perbedaan sosio-geografis dan sosiokultural denganpenekanan secara politis, ekonomi, dan sosial. Satuan sosial hasil pembelahan, yakni KaroGugung dan Karo Jehe, tidak menghasilkan deep-rooted ethnic boundary karena keduanyamasih mengakui atribut objektif yang sama. Kebaruan kajian ini bahwa etnisitas adalah alatpembentukan koloni baru yang tunduk pada Pemerintah Kolonial.ABSTRACTThis study aimed to understand the cleavages of Karo ethnic in North Sumatra. It formu-lated the question: how was the cleavages of Karo ethnic carried out during colonialperiod? The paradigm of this study was ethnohistory with a mixed epistemologicalapproach that combines historical, cultural anthropological, and archeological approachesto examine historical and cultural processes that give rise to ethnic cleavages. The researchwas carried out qualitatively. It can be concluded that the cleavages of Karo ethnic was aphenomenon of identity construction during colonial period, which was based on socio-geographical and socio-cultural differences with political, economic and social emphasis.Two social units resulting from cleavage, Karo Gugung and Karo Jehe, do not producedeep-rooted ethnic boundary because both of them still recognise the same objectiveattributes. The novelty of this study shows that ethnicity is a tool for forming new colonieswhich are subject to the Colonial Government."
