Peatlands are ecosystems highly susceptible to environmental changes and human activities such as burning, drainage, and land conversion. These actions can degrade the physical, chemical, and biological quality of peat, reduce productivity, increase greenhouse gas emissions, and harm farmers' economies. Sustainable management is crucial to maintaining a balance between ecological, economic, and social benefits, and preventing further ecosystem damage. The sustainability assessment of peatland use in Batang Duku, covering horticulture, oil palm, and rubber sectors, aims to evaluate the impact of human activities on the environment and ensure the sustainability of peatland ecosystems by holistically considering ecological, economic, and social aspects.
This study aims to analyze the existing conditions of peatland use from ecological, economic, and social dimensions, and assess the sustainability status and index of peatland use. Additionally, the study identifies determining factors influencing peatland use and formulates sustainable use strategies. The research was conducted between July and October 2024 in Batang Duku, Bukit Batu, Bengkalis, Riau. The methodology used is descriptive-analytical with both quantitative and qualitative approaches, including surveys on three types of peatland use (horticulture, oil palm, and rubber), with three observation sample points each. The sample points were determined using systematic sampling, and the respondents, totaling 60 farmers, were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was done through observations, interviews, and literature studies. The analysis methods include qualitative descriptive analysis of ecological, economic, and social aspects, and sustainability analysis was carried out using Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) with the Rap-Peatlands tool (a modification of Rapfish), Leverage analysis (sensitivity test), and Monte Carlo analysis.
The research results indicate that the existing conditions in Batang Duku show that, in terms of the ecological dimension, rubber plantations have the best potential. However, all three types of land (rubber, oil palm, and horticulture) still require careful management to maintain water quality, soil quality, and control subsidence rates. In the economic dimension, horticultural land has the best potential, while oil palm and rubber plantations face challenges in productivity and marketing. In the social dimension, horticultural land also shows the best conditions, whereas oil palm and rubber plantations encounter challenges related to education, community participation, and conflict management.
The sustainability status and index of peatland use in Batang Duku are 55.3% for the ecological dimension, 53.1% for the economic dimension, and 60.5% for the social dimension. These dimensions are considered fairly sustainable. This indicates that peatland use is already at a reasonably sustainable level, although there is still room for improvement in each dimension to achieve a higher level of sustainability.
The determining factors for the sustainability of peatland use in this village include soil quality, water quality, social conflicts, availability of drainage, the presence of traditional leaders, land topography, land productivity, and monitoring and sanctions. To ensure sustainability, this study proposes three main strategies: ecological management to maintain peatland sustainability, sustainable economic development through improved efficiency and marketing, and strengthening social aspects, focusing on improving education, community participation, and conflict management.
