Model Kebijakan Pengelolaan Lahan Gambut Berkelanjutan Di Lanskap Giam Siak Kecilbukit Batu Kabupaten Bengkalis
This research is motivated by the activity of
utilizing peat land resources in the Landscape Giam Siak Kecil-Bukit Batu (GSKBB)
Bengkalis Regency which is quite alarming because it is often carried out in
an exploitative and destructive manner. Based on Law no. 5 of 1990 concerning
Conservation of Biological Natural Resources and their Ecosystems, the area
which is part of this biosphere reserve must be protected and preserved. PP No. 57
of 2016 concerning the Management and Protection of Peat Ecosystems clearly
implies the importance of preserving and preventing damage to the function of
peat ecosystems in protected areas. The activities carried out by many
communities and companies in this area are the conversion of protected forests
into agricultural, plantation and forestry lands, as well as residential areas. This
land conversion phenomenon continues to this day, and is even suspected to be
the main trigger of massive forest and land fires every year in Riau Province. The
above conditions have caused peatlands to be degraded both quantitatively and
qualitatively, reducing their social, ecological and economic functions. The main
objective of this research is to design a policy model for sustainable peatland
management in the Landscape Giam Siak Kecil-Bukit Batu (GSK-BB) Bengkalis
Regency. The designed model is expected to produce an integrated and
sustainable peatland management policy design (formula). Material and
Methods: The research method used is a mixed method by combining qualitative
and quantitative methods. Creswell (2014) classifies the mixed method into two
models, namely sequential and concurrent. In this study, researchers used the
concurrent transformative method, which is a combination of the concurrent
triangulation model and the concurrent embedded model. The weight of each
method may or may not be the same. Merging data can be done by merging,
connecting or embedding (mixing with equal weights, connecting, and mixing
with unequal weights) the emphasis is on qualitative methods and quantitative
methods as reinforcement of qualitative findings. Result and Discussion:
Peatlands in the GSKBB Landscape are categorized as peat with a depth of 50-
100 cm (1,132 ha) and 400-800 cm (5,594 ha). Nearly 70% of deep peat (400-800
cm) is located in permanent production forest. Residential areas and small-scale
smallholder plantations are estimated to be on shallow peat with a depth of 50-100
cm. However, the results of peat mapping conducted by CIFOR indicate that some
iv
of the smallholder plantation samples are located on deep peat with a depth of
more than 400 cm. Peat-prone forests in this area are estimated to store millions of
tons of carbon stocks associated with climate change mitigation, producing wood
and non-timber types, such as gum/resin that provide economic benefits. Rivers
and lakes/lakes on peatland produce fish that are very high in economic value.
Benefits of water availability where peatlands will store water during the rainy
season, and release it during the dry season. The results showed that in general the
condition of peat swamp forest in the GSKBB landscape had been damaged for a
long time, especially in the buffer and transition zones. The main factors causing
damage to peat swamp forest were fires, illegal logging, and wind disturbances.
These factors, especially fire and wind, have become very influential on the
destruction of peat swamp forest when most of the landscape has been developed
into Industrial Plantation Forests (HTI) and Palm Oil Plantations (PKS). Both of
these activities carried out clear-cutting of forest stands and constructing drainage
canals. Such conditions are thought to have triggered fires, especially during the
dry season when the peatlands become dry. Meanwhile, logging of trees in peat
swamp forest has reduced the absorption capacity of the soil surface. This
condition causes frequent flooding in the rainy season, on the contrary in the dry
season peatlands are more easily burned. The sustainability status of peatland
management policies in this area in a multidimensional manner is categorized as
less sustainable. The results of the MDS analysis show that four dimensions have
an index of being less sustainable, namely the ecological dimension 46.5%, the
economic dimension 36.5%, institutional 49.8%, and technology 47.3%. There is
only one dimension that is quite sustainable, namely the social dimension with a
figure of 50.8%. The design of the proposed peatland management policy model
is called the collaborative peatland management policy. This model recommends
the importance of multi-stakeholder coordination, because this landscape has a
large area with many stakeholders who have different interests and influences.
Conclusions: This recommended model leads to an ideal type scenario that the
various intervention efforts that have been carried out at the micro and macro
levels must run synergistically, in line, and at approximately the same tempo and
rhythm. The synergy that is built at the micro and macro levels is expected to
make the community and government a meeting point that represents a
collaborative peatland management policy model. This concept becomes the
specification of novelty which is considered capable of solving problems in the
field. Of course this model needs to be implemented, maintained, and reviewed
periodically and made available to stakeholders in the GSKBB Landscape but also
to observers and other parties who need it.
