Estimasi Nilai Ekonomi Serapan Karbon dan Strategi Pengelolaan Lahan Gambut Berkelanjutan di Kelurahan Kedaton Kecamatan Kayu Agung

Abstract

Ekosistem gambut di Kelurahan Kedaton terdegradasi akibat penggundulan hutan, drainase buatan, kebakaran hutan dan lahan, dan konversi lahan ke pertanian dan perkebunan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) mengidentifikasi kondisi pengelolaan lahan gambut Kelurahan Kedaton, (2) mengestimasi carbon stock dan nilai ekonomi serapan karbon di lahan gambut Kelurahan Kedaton, (3) menganalisis strategi pengelolaan lahan gambut berkelanjutan Kelurahan Kedaton. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif, persamaan allometrik, dan Analytical Hierarchy Process. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) pengelolaan Kebun Plasma Nutfah belum berjalan aktif karena kontrak kerja sama telah berakhir, dan pengelolaan lahan gambut administratif Kelurahan Kedaton belum dilakukan secara kolaboratif, (2) nilai ekonomi serapan karbon total adalah sebesar Rp 398.561.553.448 (3) program pengelolaan lahan gambut berkelanjutan di Kelurahan Kedaton yang menjadi prioritas diantaranya promosi pengetahuan dan kelembagaan tradisional di kalangan generasi muda; inisiasi forum komunikasi para pihak untuk pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan lahan gambut; RPJM/RKP kelurahan memasukkan nilai pelestarian lahan gambut; dan pengembangan rencana bisnis pengelolaan lahan gambut.

Peat ecosystems in peat ecosystems in Kedaton Village are degraded due to deforestation, artificial drainage, forest and land fires, and land conversion to agriculture and plantations. The objectives of this research are (1) to identify the condition of peatland management in Kedaton Village, (2) to estimate the biomass content and carbon stock as well as the economic value of carbon sequestration in Kedaton Village peatlands, (3) to analyze sustainable peatland management strategies in Kedaton Village. The methods used in this research are descriptive qualitative, allometric equation, and Analytical Hierarchy Process. The results showed that: (1) the management of the Kebun Plasma Nutfah has not been active because the cooperation contract has ended, and the administrative peatland management of Kedaton Village has not been carried out collaboratively, (2) the economic value of total carbon sequestration is Rp 398.561.553.448 (3) priority sustainable peatland management programs in Kedaton Village include the promotion of traditional knowledge and institutions among the younger generation; initiation of a communication forum for peatland management and utilization; RPJM/RKP of the village includes the value of peatland conservation; and development of a peatland management business plan.
