Kerjasama internasional mutlak diperlukan dalam pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, tidak hanya bagi negara berkembang namun juga sangat diperlukan bagi negara maju. PP No. 41 Tahun 2006 sebagai amanat UU No. 18 Tahun 2002 dan penyempurnaan Kepres No. 100 Tahun 1993 yang mulai diimplemetasi oleh Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi sejak 17 Desember 2007. Undang-undang tersebut memegang peran strategis dalam pembangunan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi dan memberikan arah pengaturan guna mewujudkan tujuan memperkuat daya dukung ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi untuk mempercepat pencapaian tujuan negara, serta meningkan daya saing dan kemandirian dalam memperjuangkan kepentingan negara dalam hubungan internasional. Disamping itu, Undang-Undang tersebut merupakan dasar hukum bagi pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan di bidang pembangunan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi.

Peraturan Pemerintah No. 41 Tahun 2006 tetang Perizinan Melakukan Kegiatan Penelitian dan Pengembangan bagi Perguruan Tinggi Asing, Lembaga Litbang Asing, Badan Usaha Asing dan Orang Asing tersebut berdasarkan pemikiran bahwa iptek dalam kerangka sistem nasional penelitian, pengembangan dan penerapan iptek tidak dapat terlepas dari kerjasama internasional. Hal ini kita sadari mengingat sebagian besar kemajuan iptek berkembang pesat di negara-negara maju yang menguasai sumber daya iptek, memiliki kemampuan finansial dan lembaga litbang yang sudah sangat mapan serta tradisi akademik yang sangat kuat. Sejalan dengan hal tersebut, maka kerjasama internasional di bidang iptek dilaksanakan untuk mempercepat alih teknologi dari negara-negara maju dan meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat ilmiah internasional.

Salah satu bentuk kerjasama internasional di bidang iptek tersebut adalah kegiatan penelitian dan pengembangan yang dilakukan oleh Perguruan Tinggi asing, Lembaga Litbang asing, Badan Usaha asing dan orang asing yang dilakukan di Indonesia.

Dalam tahun 2012 terdapat 554 peneliti asing yang telah diberikan Surat Izin Penelitian (SIP) melakukan kegiatan penelitian di berbagai daerah di Indonesia. Jumlah tersebut terdiri dari 447 izin penelitian baru dan 97 izin perpanjangan. Mayoritas peneliti tersebut berkewarganegaraan atau berasal dari Negara-negara maju yang menguasai iptek dan mengalokasikan dana riset yang besar dalam APBN mereka. Dalam tahun 2012 tersebut secara berturut-turut Amerika Serikat,Jerman, Jepang, Perancis, dan Inggris, menempati peringkat lima besar kemudian diikuti dan Belanda,Australia,RRC, Denmark dan Kanada menempati peringkat 10 besar.

Buku “Direktori Peneliti Asing di Indonesia 2012” ini memuat Abstract riset, biodata para peneliti dari berbagai perguruan tinggi, lembaga litbang, badan usaha asing dan mahasiswa asing serta kelompok profesi intelektual publik lainnya, seperti dosen, budayawan dan jurnalis asing. Buku ini telah terbit sejak tahun 2011, dan akan terbit secara berkala setiap tahunnya. Kami berharap buku ini dapat menjadi salah satu sumber informasi ilmiah dan rujukan bagi para peneliti dan akademisi serta semua pemangku kepentingan (stake holders) untuk memperluas jaringan kerjasama riset internasional dalam rangka penguatan kelembagaan (capacity building) dan mempercepat transfer iptek di berbagai bidang keilmuan.

Kami menyadari bahwa buku ini masih jauh dari sempurna, seperti kata pepatah “tiada gading yang tak retak” maka kami sangat mengharapkan saran dan masukan dari semua pihak untuk penyemprnaan buku tersebut pada penerbitan yang akan datang.

Kami juga tidak lupa mengucapkan terima kasih yang sebesar-besarnya kepada semua pihak, khususnya rekan-rekan Sekretariat Tim Koordinasi Pemberian izin Penelitian Asing (TKPIPA), Biro Hukum dan Humas, Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi yang telah meluangkan waktu untuk membantu penyusunan buku direktori ini.

Dalam tahun 2012, AS kembali menempati posisi teratas, dan Jerman menyodok di posisi kedua menggeser Jepang yang merosot ke posisi ketiga. Hal ini kemungkinan karena adanya dua project besar antara Indonesia-Jerman yaitu CRC, dan SPICE 3. Di papan tengah, Perancis menggeser Inggris, sementara Belanda, Australia, RRC dan Kanada tetap masuk di 10 besar. Pendatang baru yang masuk sepuluh besar adalah Swiss.

(A.1) The adaptive nature of culture: A cross-cultural analysis of the returns of Local Environmental Knowledge in three native societies

Tujuan Penelitian : Menguji bagaimana pengetahuan budaya dapat membentuk strategi adaptasi manusia dalam kerangka budaya yang berbeda

Bidang Penelitian : AntropologiLama Penelitian : 12 (dua belas) bulan mulai 3 Februari 2012Daerah Penelitian : Kalimantan Timur (Malinau)Mitra Kerja : Prof. Cecep Kusmana - Fakultas Kehutanan IPB

Abstract

Researchers debate the role of culture in shaping human adaptive strategy. Some researchers suggest that the behavioural adaptations that explain the success of our species are partially cultural, i.e., cumulative and transmitted by social learning. Others find that cultural knowledge has often resulted in maladaptive practices leading to loss of technologies and societies’ collapse. Despite the importance of the debate, we lack empirical, comparative, research on the potential mechanisms through which culture might shape human adaptation. In this research, we will collect real world data to test a pathway through which cultural knowledge might enhance human adaptive strategy: the individual returns to culturally evolved and environment specific knowledge. We will collect six sets of comparable panel data in three foraging societies: the Tsimane’ (Amazon), the Baka (Congo Basin), and the Penan(Borneo). We will use a culturally-specific but cross-culturally comparative method to assess individual



local knowledge (explicit and tacit) related to 1) wild edibles; 2) medicine; 3) agriculture; and 4) weather forecast. We will analyze data using instrumental variables to get rigorous estimates of the returns to knowledge on a)own and offsprings health and b) nutritional status, and c) farming and d) foraging productivity. Data would allow us to make generalizations on 1) the returns to local environmental knowledge and 2) the conditions under which locally developed knowledge is adaptive or ceases to be so. The ground-breaking nature of this study lies in its explicit attempt to use empirical data and a cross-cultural framework to provide a first empirical test of the adaptive nature of culturally transmitted information, and to do so by linking cultural knowledge to individual outcomes

Abstract

In my PhD project, I will conduct fieldwork among the Utan of Riau, Indonesia, and explore their lives in the context of modern Indonesian development schemes. The governments in the archipelago have constantly intervened in the life of tribal peoples like the Utan historically



from the pre-colonial era to the present post-Suharto regime. In most part of the period, such tribal peoples have been marginalised and stigmatised. However, since the fall of Suharto in 1998, the situation has changed. The concepts of self-determination and indigenous rights, which were developed through transnational discourse and modified to fit the Indonesian local context, were added to the rationale for state intervention, and the importance of customary community, or adat community, has been emphasised by the local communities themselves and the NGOs. As a result, tribal peoples are, in some cases, attempting to obtain a new position in the state as “indigenous peoples”. In addition, the intervention of development programmes has led some of these peoples to reconfigure their tribal ethnicity. I will describe the transactions between the state intervention and the Utan reaction to it in the state development schemes of tribal peoples, and explore the concepts of indigeneity, ethnicity and adat in anthropological theory and Indonesian ethnography.

(A.3) The Enactment of Agency and Constructions of the Maternal Body: Female-Headed Households and Maternal Mortality in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari bagaimana masyarakat di Sulawesi Tenggara memandang rumah tangga yang dikepalai oleh wanita, kematian ibu, serta peranan wanita dalam masyarakat.

Bidang Penelitian : Antropologi

Lama Penelitian : 12 (dua belas) bulan mulai 3 Agustus 2012

Abstract

This research focuses on the ways local understandings of the maternal body, gender relations and female agency influence maternal mortality in Southeast Sulawesi. Spccifically, this work considers women’s agency and power over their bodies and how these issues affect decisions made about healthcare during pregnancy. Since migration among men seeking work elsewhere in Indonesia and abroad in countries such as Malaysia and Singapore is particularly high in Southeast Sulawesi, the question of how households headed by women affects gender relations will also be considered. According to the Indonesian Bureau of Statistics, the head of a household in Indonesia is either: ‘(i) the person who is actually responsible for the daily needs of a household; or (ii) the person who is considered the head of the household’ (Australia Indonesia Partnership 2010). In 2011, almost 15% of Indonesian households are headed by women (Australia Indonesia Partnership 2010). However, as official representatives of the family, men have authority, particularly in the public sphere, which women often do not.

Relations between husbands and wives are influenced by traditions which affect the ways women are perceived and the ways they may act. In Southeast Sulawesi, bridewcalth is one of these traditions. The giving of bridewcalth has implications for power relations within marriage, which in turn influence methods of childbirth. These dynamics will be one focus of my work. In the literature on gendered forms of power and agency, the work of Kristeva (1982) and Butler (1993) is prominent.

In this work, women’s agency will be seen in its relational context, as the dynamic between these women and the surrounding environment. This approach will be used because it situates women at the centre of inquiry without neglecting either the environmental forces which impact them as agents and therefore the enactment of agency, or the meanings created by that enactment. The role of gendered forms of agency in creating dynamic linkages between subjects and social forces will also be investigated. The social significance of how female agency creates social meanings in Southeast Sulawesi will also be an important part of my work.

The fundamental basis of this research rests upon an investigation of how people in rural Southeast Sulawesi understand life (childbirth) and death (maternal mortality). By investigating local understandings of how women’s agency and power are linked to the maternal body, particularly in female-headed households, my work aims to make an original contribution to the corpus of anthropological research on Southeast Sulawesi

Abstract

South East Asia and the Pacific exhibit the greatest marine biodiversity in the world, yet this area is the site of unprecedented species loss due to climate change and environmental degradation. In order to protect marine ecosystems and avert fisheries collapse, the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI), a cooperative, multilateral conservation initiative. was instituted by six South East Asian and Pacific Island nations in 2007. The goal of the CTI is to increase and safeguard the health of coral seas and ocean basins by reversing current trends in anthropogenic and climate driven disturbance. As part of this initiative, transnational management agendas are being envisioned, defined, and transmitted across institutional scales. but enacted in local communities, affecting the livelihoods of millions.



Even when conservation initiatives have proven effective in protecting biodiversity, they have tended to disregard how goals are formed, by and for whom, and to what purposes. Drawing attention to this particular shortcoming, social scientists have contributed substantially to the field of conservation studies by contextualizing the impacts of protective policies at the local level. Yet. despite a proliferation of critical research on conservation practice, theorists have rarely explored the complex, synergistic processes that are involved in the negotiation and formalization of policy within conservation organizations- often for lack of institutional access. Research that contextualizes conservation decision-making processes should be pursued as it can inform the redefinition of more inclusive, successful outcomes.

Research Objectives: The proposed ethnographic project explores how conservationists integrate discrepant spheres of “expert” and “local” knowledge as they negotiate interventions designed to address disparate stakeholder resource use agendas. It will elucidate: 1) the processes of productive articulation and translation of marine policies across scales and; 2) local knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors regarding the future enactment of conservation interventions. There will be three field sites: The Nature Conservancy (TNC) Coral Triangle Center in Sanur. Bali. The TNC Coral Triangle Center in Nusa Lembongan, and adjacent fishing villages of the Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area (MPA). The research will investigate how marine protected areas act as sites of engagement (both physical and conceptual) leading to conservation spaces that are constructed and acted upon differentially by conservationists and local communities. As an independent researcher. I will address the questions: 1) How do local community stakeholders and NGO practitioners conceptualize the marine environment and its value in terms of resource use and biodiversity? 2) How do community stakeholders and NGO practitioners conceive of marine protected areas? 3) Are marine protected areas spaces for the negotiation of conservation policy?

Abstract

Due to recent modernization and industrialization, economic development of Southeast Asian countries has greatly progressed. However, these countries have faced or will face with



problems caused by dramatic environmental changes(e.g. global climate change). One of such problems are food shortage.Although such environmental problems have become manifesto in modernized societies, Southeast Asiian societies are known to have their own traditional wisdom for harmonization of human and nature. This study aims to explore such wisdom especially in sustainable nature use as basic research of human life; this information will be useful for future food supply under modernization.

Abstract

I plan to do my research titled “Development of cultural spaces and local communities: 1990s-2010s in Yogyakarta” in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta from September 2012 to March 2013 with financial support from Osaka City University Urban Research Plaza “Promotion Program for Organizing Asia Arts Management Research Institution”.

This research pays attention to the role of art in the communities. It specially focuses on so-called alternative spaces or artist-initiative communities that experienced a great increase



after the late 1990’s. A result of this research will form a map that indicates the development and transition of those activities in Yogyakarta and show how they link with each other and create a sense of “public” in the city.

This research will mainly use field method, such as informal interviews and consultations with leaders of art activities. In addition, this research will use literature search to get information of historical background.

Objectives:

This research will be conducted under the scientific research titled “Promotion Program for Organizing Asia Arts Management Research Institution” headed by Prof. Shin Nakagawa in Osaka City University Urban Research Plaza, granted by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

After 1990’s, the arts have started to be taken not only as a tool for formation of national identity or enlightenment of the public but also as for revitalization of local communities. But we don’t have its methodology or theory yet. This research tries to touch this point. Using Yogyakarta situation in a form of case study, it defines the role of art in the local communities and its methodology.

In our time, city has many kinds of problems, such as environmental pollutions, the tirban poor, disasters and so on. In this situation, the arts can work as an effective tool for discussion between different people and finding out its creative solution. These activities are now called as “community art” or art for “social inclusion”. The concept of community art has got academic concern since the 1970s, and that of social inclusion since the 1990s.a tool to recover wellness or good life in society.

Yogyakarta, as historical-art city, has been well internationally known as one of the important cities in Asian contemporary art, but at the same time, has been very active in developing art programs for local communities. Specially after the late 1990s, many alternative spaces and artist-initiative communities were established and they have played an important role in this field.

This research pays attention to the role of art in social life, and aims to create mapping of cultural activities in Yogyakarta, especially community art activities and art activities for social inclusion. For considering about the communities in the city, the cultural policy by Yogyakarta government will be an important part of my research, too. The result of this research will form a map that indicates the development and transition of those activities in Yogyakarta and show how they link with each other and create a sense of “public” in their communities.

Abstract

This project explores the relations between climatic knowledge, subsistence, and healthamong small-scale fisheries in Ende, Island of Flores, Indonesia. Its main goal is to determine theextent to which people’s beliefs about the changes in future climatic conditions explain workeffort and nutritional decisions including production activities and resource use. Despitenumerous research on the projections of climate change in agricultural production in SoutheastAsia, there is still uncertainty about the impacts of marine species modifications in diets ofcoastal populations. In addition, local institutions do not have enough information about people’sbeliefs and preferences regarding resource use and future climatic trends that ultimately affect apopulation’s health and environmental status. Lack of knowledge can have acute repercussions inthe design of health and development policies that are looking into the mitigation of futureexposed coastal areas.



By investigating nutritional choices in relation to economic and ecological changes and localbeliefs about resource use and climate, this project proposes to conduct: 1) anthropometric andnutritional assessments, 2) ecological and climatologic measurements, and 3) livelihood surveysand cultural interviews, among Endenese small-scale fishermen in Flores, Indonesia. Results willbe analyzed through multivariate and bivariate statistics, and content analysis. Research tookplace in the course of 1 year and a half, comprising a 14 months-long field season in Ende,Flores, and 3 months of bibliographic research in The Netherlands, Flores, Yogyakarta andJakarta (June 2011-December 2012). Research is funded through the National ScienceFoundation.

Abstrak

Dr. Lene Pedersen of Central Washington University will undertake a cultural anthropological research program to investigate the intersecting structures and meaning of ties between princes and subjects in a polity in Bali, Indonesia. Taking a multi-sited and multi-method approach within a spatially explicit environment, the study has three components. First Pedersen, working with a geographer and a Balinese research team, will map and analyze land-based, ritual, and kinship ties and obligations between princes and subjects; second, she will examine the direct involvement of princes in community life, such as ritual, irrigation and political decisions; and third, she will examine the perceptions of individual subjects on the relative roles of the princedom and the nation-state, and how ideas about the traditional polity shape contemporary subjects and princes. From considering the present context of decentralization in Indonesia and the rise of Bali-Hindu ethno-nationalism, both of which have given new impetus to traditional institutions, Pedersen will also, on the small stage of this principality, examine the consequences of post-colonial land reforms and local political restructuring. Mapping and analysis within a Geographical Information System will allow her to visualize the web of ties to the palace and analyze their relationships over time, while interviews and surveys contribute ethnographic and generalizable data on associated ideas and practices.

Dr. Pedersen’s research is important because it takes a new approach to address long-standing questions still in dispute about the Balinese polity, including an attempt to test Geertz’s key argument that the “kinship state” was not linked to landowning, while also addressing contemporary theoretical and practical concerns surrounding governance. The proposed project will contribute a more nuanced understanding of Balinese derived social, political, etc. structures that remain of local interest and concern. In addition to contributing to the regional ethnographic literature, the study offers an example of a complex social-political-symbolic governance system that also is a feasible case to study state transformation and institutional complexity. It will contribute to the understanding of hybrid state-indigenous systems of governance and to methodology integrating ethnographic and survey approaches within a spatial framework.

Dr. Pedersen will collaborate with participants and members of the faculties of Agriculture and of Letters at Udayana University to promote International collaboration and contribute to enhancing infrastructure for research and education in Bali. The proposed research will provide training and research experience to Indonesian assistants helping collect public records, interview, transcribe interviews, work with GIS and administer questionnaires; and to community participants in the mapping process.

Abstract

This research has two main objectives. First of all, maritime Malays living in Bangka will be ethnographically investigated in terms of general social anthropological themes such as settlement organization, family composition, or adat world. Secondly, their adaptation strategies toward the forest, coast or tidal zone, and the sea will be examined at length. There orang Sekak culture must have greatly influenced contemporary maritime way of life. Not only the material aspect of fishing techniques as cultural traits, but also the superstructural aspect of fishery rights or prohibitions would be thoroughly considered. The basic research method of anthropological field work is a participant observation. I would like to pick one hamlet up as a model village on the western coast of Bangka; the hamlet should be one of the most typical fishing villages facing mangrove forest and mudflat. Secondly, I also would like to pick one hamlet up as a model village on the eastern coast; the hamlet should be one typical village



facing sand beach and coral garden. While comparing two opposite hamlets, the similarity and difference of their cultural traits will be materialized. These days, however, everywhere in southeast Asia we could observe the confrontation between large-scaled commercial fishery and small-scaled traditional fishermen, who are occasionally rather forerunners of the community-based environment management to utilize marine resources or total surroundings. Their knowledge and skill would render valuable suggestions to the real national development in terms of ocean governance.

Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to fully provide an understanding of the views and ideas of dominant Muslim religious scholars on several key issues relevant to contemporary Indonesia and Malaysia. This research also seeks to analyse the implication of their ideas on the government, Muslims, and the society at large. Participants of this research include Muslim religious teachers, preachers, and leaders who are believed to be well versed in the religious sciences and are part of the key religious bureaucracy and institutions. Active participants of Islamic civil organizations, mosques, and religious bureaucracies are among those included in this research. There will beabout 30 participants involved.

I shall be looking at two states: Indonesia and Malaysia. Several states and provinces are selected as samples. For the case of Indonesia, the study will mainly be based in Jakarta.Other provinces will include Jogyakarta, Surabaya, and Padang. For the case of Malaysia, I shall mainly be conducting fieldwork in Kuala Lumpur. Other states in Malaysia will include Kelantan, Perak and Johore Baharu.

Objective:

The main objective is to counter the dominant perception that the relationship between the ulama and state is one where the state is always controlling the ulama. It seeks to demonstrate that the ulama and the state can work closely in solving the problems facing the community. It also shows that the ulama still have an important role in the modern world.

Abstrak

The question of how to balance a modern, educated life-style with the demands of Islamic piety and femininity is the subject of great discussion in Indonesia. One arena where this topic is particularly salient is in Islamic schooling for girls. Through surveys, participant observation, interviews, and discourse analysis of popular Muslim media and educational materials, this research will explore gender socialization and educational achievement in two Islamic boarding schools for girls in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The broader question this research asks is twofold: (1) how do young Muslim girls learn and engage with what it means to be a proper, pious, and educated woman; and (2) how do differences in understandings of proper Muslim femininity reflect broader variations in Indonesian Muslim associations and religious-educational traditions. The project aims to examine the ways in which the proper forms of Muslim femininity and educational achievement are conveyed and appropriated in school classrooms, hallways and school grounds, as well as the girls’ interactions and behaviors outside of school. Although the socialization of appropriate ideals and practices of Muslim femininity lies at the heart of Islamic education for girls, both formal and informal, education is today being adjusted and transformed as a result of far-reaching changes in modern Indonesian public culture, generally, and Islamic public life more specifically. This project hypothesizes that variation seen in religious and gender ideals in Muslim schools correlates with the efforts of different sub-communities to strike new balance between Islamic ideals of gender and the aspirations of a growing number of Muslim girls and parents for personal success. professional achievement, and. broadly speaking, a modern middle-class way of life.

Abstract

The aim of the research project is to investigate how culture as everyday practices is transformed by local groups into cultural property/heritage and is then used as a means of community development and improvement of living conditions and cultural identification as well as for nation building. For this the research will investigate on communities in the focus of different government initiatives for community development. These government initiatives encompass projects directed at the development of marginalized and vulnerable communities (komunitas adat terpencil (KAT)), World Bank supported programs like PNPM mandiri rural that also focus on rural marginalized groups, but also initiatives of the currently established ministry of tourism and creative economy (Kementerian pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif ) that is thought to make use of Indonesia’s overwhelming cultural diversity in order to develop tourism and improve markets for cultural inspired products and traditional arts. The research is based on the



idea of multi-sited ethnography of following the thing – here the discourse and use of cultural heritage/property and the corresponding policies implied - and the comparison of different regions is an integral part. Thus based in Jakarta I will undertake research trips to different provinces to take conclusions about national similarities and regional differences in relation to how culture serves and is used as means for development. Methodologically the research is based on participant observation combined with different kinds of interviews with state representatives entrusted with these programs on national, regional and local level and with representatives of the local groups in the focus of development initiatives.

Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Barat (Bandung)

Mitra Kerja : Sekolah Arsitektur, Perencanaan, dan Pengembangan Kebijakan ITB - Ir. Teti A. Argo, MES., Ph.D

Abstract

The research program examines the social relations and cultural patterns that shape the urban public sphere in Bandung, Indonesia. A key focus of the research is on the practices



of local journalism in print and electronic media. The research will contribute to a growing literature in urban anthropology that analyzes the terms in which marginalized groups in the burgeoning cities of the global south make claims on city and national governments, as well as on transnational organizations. This work has focused primarily on the spatial and infrastructural claims of the urban poor, who have developed novel and exciting strategies for achieving their political objectives. The research focuses on less marginalized groups, local journalists and other proponents of public discourse (e.g. activists), who are likewise seeking to transform urban life by articulating and enacting claims about rights. In this case, however, the claims are not claims to the built environment but claims to a space of public discourse (within the press, within new kinds of online and face-to-face public forums). The proposed research program will examine the conditions that give rise to these claims and will detail the effects of these claims on Bandung’s broader urban public sphere. In so doing the research aims to contribute to understandings of the dynamics of contemporary urban politics and the role that media play in the construction of urban public life.

Objectives:

• Toexaminethechangingsocialrelationsthroughwhichsynopticknowledgeaboutcitiesis produced in Indonesia

• Toexaminethestrategiesjournalistsuseandthedifficultiestheyfacewhentryingtocarveout a space for open public discourse in a post-authoritarian context

• Tocontributetotheoreticaldebatesabouttheroleplayedbymediainconstitutingpubliclife

• TotrainanewgenerationofCanadiansforfieldresearchintheglobalSouthContext

Methodology:

In examining the role of media in the construction of social imaginaries, some scholars have focused on media production, some have focused on interpreting media texts, and others have focused on the circulation and reception of these texts (Ginsburg et al 2002). On the production side, researchers focus on the social relations and cultures of mediators that shape the “materialities of communication” (Gumbrecht and Pfeiffer 1994) and craft the texts that serve as the basis for imagined communities (Barker 2003, 2005, 2008; Cottle 2007; Domingo and Paterson 2008; Hannerz 2004; Hefner 1997; Kelty 2008;Mazzarella 2003). Those who focus on texts tend to engage in interpretive analysis in an effort to establish the ways in which public discourse is shaped by internal structures and constraints (Keane 2009, Pemberton 1994, Richardson 2007, Siegel 1997 & 1998). On the reception side, researchers showhow even reified



texts are interpreted and given new meanings by those who experience them (Abu- Lughod 2002 & 2005, Mankekar 1999, Miller and Slater 2000).

In this research program, elements of each of these methodologies will be put to use. Specifically, I am interested in producing three separate kinds of analyses and then combining them into a single narrative account: (a) an account of the changing structural conditions under which city journalists work; (b) an account of how particular journalists understand and negotiate the shifting ethical and political terrain they confront in their daily lives; (c) an interpretive account of a series of unfolding news stories and their reception that highlights the limits and possibilities of public discourse in Bandung.

Objective of my research is to specifically and demonstratively describe and analyze the multiethnic situation around the Batak people in Jakarta, Indonesia. To be specific, this study has three objectives as follows; 1) to understand the expanded social relationship of the Batak in different economical and social positions and different living quarters; 2) To elucidate the selection of marriage partners of the Batak living in Jabotabek, and compare the situation between the first generation and the second generation; 3) to explicit the personal and organized relationship between the people in Jakarta and hometowns in North Sumatera; 4) Related to 3), continuously focus on the clan associations in Jakarta, and research its management system.

Preceding researches on the Batak have always focused on the Batak traditional customs, and it seemed to be described that the Batak society is constructed only by the traditional patrilineal kinship and affinal relationship with matrilateral cross-cousin. Also, studies of the Batak urban migration have been focused on the maintenance of their ethnicity related to their traditional culture and customs. Therefore, preceding researches have been neglected the expanded relationship around the Batak, which is constructed at school, offices, churches, and with neighbourhoods. To do so, I would like to show there is a need to reconsider the argument whether ethnic identity is taking a important role in Jakarta.

(A.17) The Cultural Dimensions of Educational Success in Eastern Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan studi etnografi untuk meneliti faktor-faktor budaya yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan pen didikan di Indonesia bagian timur

Bidang Penelitian : Antropologi Sosial / Pendidikan

Abstract

The proposed research is an ethnographic study of cultural factors influencing educational success in eastern Indonesia in the context of regional, national and global social, economic and political transformations. It will explore the relationship between culture and education and the factors that contribute to success in an environment of change.

The research will be conducted over the course of one year and will focus primarily on Alor Regency in East Nusa Tenggara Province. The researcher will live in Alor Regency for the majority of the research time in order to acquire an in-depth knowledge of local cultural beliefs and practices and the role these play in educational success.

Shorter periods of time will be allocated for research in locations in other regions of Indonesia where Alorese have settled. These locations may include Yogyakarta, Batam in Riau Islands Province and Medan where many Alorese have moved for education or work. The purpose of this is to understand the destinations available to Alorese and favoured by them and how this feeds back into educational goals for Alorese still in school.

Standard ethnographic research methods will be used including participant observation, digital recording of daily life and cultural events and practices, formal and informal interviews and the analysis of local literature and archival sources. The research will contribute to the knowledge of the Alor Archipelago, which has been largely neglected in the anthropological literature to date.

(A.18) Social and Cultural Change in Kepulauan Riau During the Era of Democratisation

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan penelitian etnografi secara kualitatif tentang bagaimana penduduk Riau memahami demokrasi dan pelaksanaannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari

Abstract

This research project aims to investigate how residents of the Riau Islands are engaging with notions of’democracy’ in the contemporary period. ‘Democracy’ here is understood to refer to a set of values and behaviours that could be enacted in everyday life, rather than a set of formal political relations. My earlier research has found that Riau Islanders are highly motivated to cultivate ‘democratic values’ and employ these in aspects of their everyday lives, including their relations with their families, their friends and neighbours, and in their self-expression through media such as music and the arts.

The project will examine how they develop their vision of ‘democratic values’, considering the role of such factors as schooling, exposure to international media, ethical self-reflection, and socialiations. It will also investigate the ways in which these values arc made manifest in everyday life, and- extent to which should be considered as a significant social / cultural change. Consequently, the research will also be concerned with examining how ‘democratic values’ articulate with the traditional values of the Malay population of the Riau Islands, and those of the many migrants currently living in Kepri’s urban centres.

The research will use qualitative methods of participant observation and in-depth semi-structured interviewing, in keeping with best practice for anthropological studies of political transformations. It is envisaged that between 60 and 100 individuals will be interviewed for approximately 6 hours each. Sampling and analysis will be structured to investigate whether there are meaningful differences in approach, activities, and/or outcomes of’self-democratisation’ according to factors such as age, gender, place of residence (urban or rural) and ethnicity.

To date, very little research in the social sciences has paid close attention to how the prospect of democracy inspires citizens to change their everyday activities - nor how they



reconcile these new ethical imperatives with the values and traditions with which they were formerly acquainted. The project promises to make a substantive contribution to how scholars think about democracy and democratisation - in Indonesia and beyond - as well as proving a timely insight into the social change currently underway in the Riau Islands. The conclusions of the study could be very helpful for understanding how to facilitate a smooth and peaceful uptake of democratic principles in other regions of Indonesia.

Abstract

Trade between India, Southeast Asia and China goes back to the dawn of time. The Dong-son culture, that developed around 500 B.C. in Tonkin and spread down the coast of Annam to Indonesia, produced huge bronze drums whose ornament is clearly influenced by Chinese art of the period of the Warring States. As for commercial exchanges with India, they are testified by Indian jewels and vessels as well as by Roman objects dating from the beginning of the Christian era and found along the coast of the Gulf of Siam. Those contacts finally led, during the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D., to the development and enrichment of early Southeast Asian states such as Funan, in the Mekong delta, and Lin-yi, in present-day Central Vietnam. By the 5th century A.D., the maritime trade route passing through the Strait of Malacca became the main trade route between India and China. Contacts between civilizations, and particularly between India and Southeast Asia, intensified, allowing what scholars have called the “Indianization” of Southeast Asia, i.e. the appropriation by local societies of the Indian language, script, religions



and political system and the re-articulation of Indian culture to fit Southeast Asian realities (Wolters 1982). To what extent Indian ideas and techniques were transformed is not precisely known but there is no doubt that Southeast Asian cultures were affected deeply and on a long-term basis. Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms flourished over the whole Southeast Asia, from Burma to Bali and, of course, in Java and Sumatra.

On the island of Java, the first traces of an Indianized kingdom are the rock inscriptions of King Purnavarman of Taruma dating from c.450, but most of the remains of early Javanese kingdoms are to be found in Central Java. From the 8th to the early 10th century the region around mounts Merapi and Sumbing, in Central Java, was the centre of powerful kingdoms that built monuments as prestigious as Borobudur and Loro Jonggrang (Prambanan).

In Sumatra, the earliest traces of a Hindu-Buddhist culture are to be found around Palembang and in Bangka. After a first period during which a pan-regional coastal culture developed, Sriwijaya emerges and rises to command the Straits of Malacca-and much of the region. There is much discussion about to what extent Sriwijaya politically dominated the area or focused merely on trade monopoly, as well as about the relationships between Sriwijaya and Melayu. It is however accepted that Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms of Sumatra kept a prominent role until the 13th, when they were overpowered by East Javanese kings.

Objectives and scope of the research

The research presented here is intentionally limited in terms of time (c.700-1200 A.D.) and scope. It will deal with the question of cultural interactions between Sumatra and Central Java through three themes: 1) Hindu art in Sumatra, 2) bronze craftsmanship in Java and Sumatra, 3) the art of the northern coast of Java. It will deal with questions such as: What are the similarities between Javanese and Sumatranese artistic traditions? When and how does Javanese influence manifest in the material culture of Sumatra? Was Hinduism well implanted over Sumatra? What does it say about the cultural relationships between the two islands? Is there something as a distincive Sumatranese style? What role played Sumatra in the trade and production of bronze object? Do statues from the northern coast of Java share feature with Sumatranese examples?

This first year of research, however, is an exploratory year and is aimed at assessing the feasibility of the research program. The objective of these first fieldwork periods is essentially to gather data and yield an up-to-date inventory, especially as far as the archaeological sites of the north coast of Java are concerned.

Abstract

Proyek ini bertujuan untuk mendokumentasikan kronologi, jalan-jalan, dan budaya-budayaan yang terlibat dalam jaringan perdagangan Trans-Asia yang menghubungkan Kepulauan dan Tanah Daratan Asia Tenggara pada akhir Masa Prasejarah (100 BC - AD 500). Di Bali utara ditemukan bukti kontak awal dengan India, Cina dan pusat-pusat di Asia Tenggara. Situs Sembiran, yang merupakan sebuah pelabuhan kuno, memiliki potensi menemukan bahan-bahan organik yang diawetkan dalam kondisi anaerobik, mungkin seperti biji-bijian cengkeh dan pala dari Indonesia timur. Kalau ditemukan, ini akan merupakan bukti arkeologis terawal perdagangan rempah-rempah pada sekitar 2000 tahun yang lalu. Ini menunjukkan



pentingnya strategis Bali untuk dinamik jaringan-jaringan perdagangan jarak jauh. Sebuah studi komparatif lambar antara artefak di Bali utara dan paralel kontemporer di seluruh Asia Tenggara akan menjelaskan pertanyaan penelitian lama tentang penganalan teknologi.

Abstract

Within the population history of Island Southeast Asia, Borneo is of special interest because of its strategic location and complex settlement history, and its relationship to other surrounding populations in the Pacific and Indian Ocean. Despite this scientific interest, relatively little is known about the pre-history of Borneo.

Our project aims to conduct a program of archaeological research, involving pluri-disciplinary approaches through the use of the latest archaeo-scienees methodology, in order to link past and present human history. This step forward is essential in uncovering the history of human communities of karstic environment. Cultural and biological diversity of Human populations in interaction with their environment during the last 10 000 years is at the heart of our project.

(B.5) Early Austronesian Heritage in the NTT Province, Southeast Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mendokumentasikan sejarah awal Austronesia di provinsi Nusa Tenggara, khususnya di pulau-pulau yang tersebar antara bagian Bali dan bagian tenggara Timor


Lama Penelitian : 4 (empat) bulan mulai 9 Juli 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Flores – NTT

Mitra Kerja : Dr. Bambang Sulistyanto – Puslitbang Arkeologi Nasional

Abstract

Populations speaking Austronesian languages rapidly spread, from 5000 BP onwards into the Southeast Asian islands from the northern Philippines to Borneo and further South and East. From 3600 BP they settled the uninhabited islands of western Micronesia (Guam, Saipan and later Palau) before reaching the southwestern islands of the Pacific, from the Bismarck Archipelago to Samoa and Tonga. In the South Pacific, the Austronesian migration process is known as the «Lapita culture». Much effort over the years has been devoted to the understanding of the Austronesian expansion and more specifically, to the question of the ultimate origin of Austronesian languages or to the roots in Southeast Asia of the Lapita culture. Among the proposed models, the most widely accepted today is the «out of Taiwan» model which suggests that a Proto-austronesian language developed in Taiwan as a result of influences and interactions from populations with a Neolithic economy arriving from Southern China. From East-Taiwan, these populations later reached the Philippines islands before spreading towards Sulawesi, Borneo and Java. It is now widely believed that the Lapita culture in Melanesia and Western Polynesia is the result of an eastern migration along the north coast of Irian Jaya and PNG from the same populations influenced by the cultures of the already settled islands in the Bismarck Archipelago. Indonesia plays a significant role in this scenario and the process of adaptations and interactions which occurred in Borneo and Sulawesi during the initial phase of the Austronesian Diaspora is of importance to understand the later Austronesian interactions in the Bismarck archipelago to the East and in the Sunda islands to the South. In these later islands, non-Austronesian languages are still spoken in some areaand this can indicate continuous or renewed contacts between Austronesian and non Austronesian cultures. Research in Indonesia on Austronesian influences has been important in the Sulawesi and Borneo islands and further East and has recently intensify in Java (see Simanjuntak 1999 for the large research project coordinated by the Research and Development Center of Archaeology in the Gunung Sewu area). Only few sites from this period have been located in the Nusa Tanggara province , and the



majority of these sites are urn burial cemetery that are believed to date from the early metallic Phase rather than from the Neolithic. No research so far has been undertaken in islands such as Alor, Pantar and Kisar where non-austronesian languages are spoken. A research project focusing on the Nusa Tanggara province will fill a gap in our knowledge about the Austronesian influences in the region as well as bring new data on the evolution of this formative Indonesian culture. It will also enhance our understanding of early Austronesian physical anthropology and help date the advance of Austronesian populations in these islands during the Neolithic period. More generally it will contribute to the understanding of the process of integration that led, further east, to the emergence of the Lapita culture.

Project methodology and objectives

The proposed research will aim at documenting the Austronesian early history in the Nusa Tanggara province and more precisely in the islands comprised between Bali in the west and Timor in the southeast. The main focus will be on the region from East Flores to Alor Island. The western part of Flores, which is currently researched by Australian colleagues in collaboration with archaeologists from Puslitbang Arkeologi Nasional, will not be included in this project.

The main objectives of the proposed project are

a) to date the initial Austronesian contact in these islands,

b) to document the physical characteristics of the austronesian Neolithic and Early Metal age populations, and propose answers to such questions as health, demography or social organization through the study of urn cemeteries and

c) to document human interactions and cultural processes during the period of Austronesian expansion to these islands.

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan penggalian, survey geologi dan rekonstruksi lingkungan deposit Pleistocene


Lama Penelitian : 3 (tiga) bulan mulai 28 Mei2012

Abstract

The Soa Basin in West Central Flores is a geological depression of c. 15 x 20 km wide, surrounded by active and inactive volcanoes. The basement of the basin is formed by a >100 m thick Late Pliocene sequence of massive volcanic breccias and agglomerates of the Ola Kile Formation. These breccias are overlaid by the up to 100 m thick sequence of the Ola Bula Formation. The contact between the two formations is unconformable and represents an erosional hiatus of c. 800.000 years. Geomorphological evidence suggests that the Ola Kile breccias were formed as the footslope deposits of a massive volcanic centre located at the northwestern margin of the Soa Basin, near Welas. Sometime in the past this volcano blew up and at present the eroded remnants form a caldera with a diameter of c. 5 km, and debouching into the Soa basin to the southeast.

The Ola Bula Formation can be divided in three members, from base to top: 1) Tuff Member, 2) Sandstone Member and 3) Limestone Member. Though with local variations, these three members can be recognised throughout most of the Soa Basin, though the basal Tuff Member may be lacking or is very thinly developed in areas where the basement forms an elevated topography.

Aims of the project

So far no hominin fossils have been discovered in the Soa Basin, although the abundant stone artefacts represent proxy evidence for early hominin activity. The current project is scheduled to last for a period of 4 years until 2014. This project has been accommodated under the general MoU for cooperation between the Geological Agency of Indonesia and the University of Wollongong, Australia. The principal aims of the project are to:



• find insitu fossil remainsof themakerof theupto1Myroldstoneartefacts fromtheSoaBasin, who was the likely ancestor of Homo floresiensis.

• CollectlargersamplesofinsituartefactsatMataMengeandothersites,whichcouldrevealcultural changes through time under fluctuating environmental conditions.

• Collectmorefossilsremainsoffaunatogainabetterunderstandingoftemporalevolutionarychanges in faunal composition and individual lineages. In addition, taphonomicresearch may reveal more detailed knowledge concerning the nature of the boneaccumulations encountered at various sites of the Soa Basin.

• Fine-tune the geochronology of the Soa Basin strata and get a better insight inthechronostratigraphic correlations between various sections and temporal succession of thevarious sites.

• Reconstruct depositional environments and paleo-landscapes contemporaneous withthefossil and artefact-bearing layers.

Abstract

The primary goal of our research is to continue the increase and diffusion of knowledge about the prehistory of human-occupied Flores through targeted excavations, analyses, and collaborative multidisciplinary research. At the same time, we are continuing to develop and nurture the productive relationship between Pusat Arkeologi Nasional and Smithsonian researchers, as well as those from other institutions. Specifically, our research targets important questions surrounding the timing and nature of the disappearance and probable extinction of Homofloresiensis, Stegodonflorensis, and other endemic fauna during the late Pleistocene, and the subsequent arrival of modern humans and associated non-endemic fauna as well as the introduction of farming during the Holocene. Thus, our research will shed light on key issues relating to the peopling and biodiversity of Flores during the past.

(B.8) Epigrafi Nusantara

Tujuan Penelitian : Membuat Corpus lengkap online seluruh prasasti masa klasik Indonesia


Lama Penelitian : 12(dua belas) bulan mulai 18 Juli 2012

Daerah Penelitian : DKI Jakarta, Jawa Timur (Sidoarjo, Surabaya, Kediri, Blitar), Jawa Tengah (Surakarta, Salatiga dan Klaten), Lampung

Mitra Kerja : Dr. Bambang Sulistyanto - Puslitbang Arkeologi Nasional

Abstract

Tujuan jangka panjang adalah membuat Corpus lengkap online seluruh prasasti masa klasik Indonesia. Corpus tersebut akan mengandung reproduksi (misalnya foto) dari prasasti asli, serta alih aksara dan terjemahan dari teksnya dalam bahasa Jawa Kuno, Melayu Kuno dan Sanskerta, disertai piranti elektronik untuk melacak pembacaan-pembacaan terbaru dari prasasti tersebut; akan mengandung juga berbagai peta dan dokumen untuk mempermudah akses kepada sumber-sumber primer sejarah purba Indonesia dari segi berbagai bidang ilmu. Setiap prasasti akan diperiksa ulang untuk menjamin dapat diandalkannya data yang diterbitkan dalam rangka program ini. Mengingat kwantitas besar prasasti, keterbatasan tenaga di bidang ilmu prasasti (baik di dalam maupun di luar Indonesia), serta kondisi bidang epigrafi Indonesia yang dirasa relatif kurang berkembang, sehingga banyak langkah awal bclum tuntas, maka tujuan jangka pendek adalah berbagai jenis persiapan untuk Corpus tersebut.

Metodologi

Prasasti yaitu suatu artefak (benda) arkeologis yang memuat suatu teks kuno yang seringkali tak ternilai harganya untuk penyelidikan sejarah Indonesia. Maka penelitian terhadap prasasti memerlukan metode ilmu arkeologi (khususnya penelitian di lapangan) untuk pendeskripsian dan pendataan prasasti sebagai artefak, maupun metode ilmu fdologi untuk uraian teks kuno sehingga bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber sejarah, dan akhirnya metode ilmu sejarah untuk pemanfaatan dari sudut pandang masalah-masalah sejarah.

(B.9) The Archaeology of Sulawesi: A Strategic Island for Understanding Modern Human Colonization and Interactions Across Our Region

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji arkeologi Sulawesi dalam konteks paleoenvironmental


Lama Penelitian : 3 (tiga) bulan mulai bulan 3 September 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Sulawesi Tenggara (P. Buton, Kab. Buton, Ds. Lawele, Bau bau, Ds. Palabusa, Kab. Buton Utara, Ds. Waodeburi, Kendari, Wakatobi)

Mitra Kerja : Pusat Arkeologi Nasional (Dr. Bambang Sulistyanto)

Abstract

This project will investigate the archaeology of Sulawesi within its palaeoenvironmental context. Lying between the Asian mainland to the west (Sunda), the Philippines to the north, New Guinea to the east and the lesser Sundas and Australia to the south, Sulawesi is strategically positioned to test competing models of initial modern human expansion, and subsequent cultural changes and interactions, across our region. Most previous research into the antiquity of human occupation in Sulawesi has focused on cave sites in the Maros region of southwest peninsula of Sulawesi and open terrace sites in the Walanea valley. Work on the Neolithic has focused on the Karama Valley. This study will provide a comparative basis for evaluating human occupation and will focus on the cave and open sites in the region of Lake Towuti and surrounding areas of Sulawesi (Kabupaten Luwu Timur, Propinsi Sulawesi Selatan, Kabupaten Konawe Utara, Propinsi Sulawesi Tenggara, Kabupaten Kolaka Utara, Propinsi Sulawesi Tenggara). It will also investigate the rock art of Sulawesi more generally, and attempt to provide a chronological framework for the art by radiometric dating. The proximity of these sites to the



deep lake Towuti, will enable us to compare the human occupation record against changing environment over time through an analysis of the pollen from this site. The project is designed to explore all phases of human occupation of this region from the earliest human arrival at least 40,000 years ago, through to the Metal Age. The project thus has six separate components or sub-projects. This strategy is appropriate to an area which is little tested archaeologically and will ensure results and outcomes which meet at least some of the project aims. The six separate sub-projects which we will investigate are:

1) Early modern human colonization and the colonists’ economic strategies

2) Human ecology and palaeoenvironmental change in the terminal Pleistocene

3) Early to mid-Holocene subsistence and technology in South Sulawesi

4) Holocene regional interactions: pottery, animal translocations and the transition to agriculture

5) Dating and contextualizing rock art production in Sulawesi

6) Jar burials and the introduction of metals to Sulawesi

(B.10) Indonesia’s Role in Metal Age Southeast Asian Exchange: A Look at the Glass Beads

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan dokumentasi dan analisis terhadap koleksi manik-manik berbahan kaca di Indonesia yang sudah ada sejak milenium pertama


Lama Penelitian : 10 (sepuluh) bulan mulai 5 November 2012

Daerah Penelitian : DI Yogyakarta, DKI Jakarta, Jawa Barat (Bandung), Sumatra Selatan (Palembang), Sulawesi Selatan (Makassar)

Abstract

The primary objective of my Fulbright research “Indonesia’s Role in Metal Age Southeast Asian Exchange: A Look at the Glass Beads” is to document and analyze the glass bead collections in Indonesia dating to the first millennium AD. Most of the collections are housed only in Indonesia, and the information concerning the collections likewise exists only in Indonesia, printed largely in Indonesian.

Through the Fulbright Study/Research Grant, I will also work closely with Dr. Daud Tanudirjo and Dr. Inajati Adrisijanti at Universitas Gadjah Mada to document the various collections of glass beads in Indonesia, beginning with those in Yogyakarta. There are roughly 150 sites in Indonesia with undocumented glass beads, and each site has an average of 500 beads. When I was in Indonesia last, we documented 10 sites in two weeks, and so I am confident that I can document 150 sites in a single year. Most collections are housed at branches of the National Archaeological Research Center and are easily accessible through contact with the branch office in Yogyakarta. I plan to base myself in Yogyakarta at Universitas Gadjah Mada and travel to other archaeological offices in the country to continue the documentation process (Jakarta, Bandung, Palembang, and Makassar).

(B.13) Sejarah Kuno Nusantara; Arkeologi dan Epigrafi (abad ke-5 - abad ke-15 M)

Tujuan Penelitian : Memperkaya data mengenai sejarah kuno Sumatra bagian utara sejak abad ke-5 sampai abad ke-15 M


Lama Penelitian : 12 (dua belas) bulan mulai 8 November 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Sumatra Utara (Medan Marelan)


Abstract

Peninggalan-peninggalan purbakala di situs Kota Cina, di pinggir kota Medan sekarang, sudah dipastikan keberadanya sejak tahun 1970-an, setelah dijalankan sejumlah survei dan penggalian oleh Dinas Purbakala. Dari hasil penelitian awaljni ditemukan sebuah situs pemukiman kuno yang sangat kaya akan artefak dari abad ke-11 M hingga abad ke-14 M. Temuan-temuan ini terdiri terutamanya dari area, gerabah, keramik asal China, keramik asal



Asia Tenggara dan Timur Tengah, kaca, mata uang, berbagai jenis benda dari logam (besi, perunggu), serta artefak-artefak organik berupa kulit kerang, kayu, tulang, dll.

Temuan-temuan ini merupakan indikasi hubungan langsung atau tidak langsung dengan berbagai kawasan di Samudra India, termasuk India dan Sri Lanka, dengan wilayah-wilayah lain di Asia Tenggara serta dengan Tiongkok dan Timur Tengah. Sudah jelas bahwa Kota Cina merupakan di antara pemukiman terpenting di Selat Melaka pada zaman tersebut. Sayangnya situs purbakala ini kurang diberi perhatian yang sewajarnya sampai sekarang.

Oleh karena itu, sesudah diadakan penelitian arkeologis bersama yang cukup intensif di situs pemukiman kuno di pantai barat propinsi Sumatra Utara, yaitu di daerah Barus (Kab. Tapanuli Tengah), khususnya di situs Lobu Tua (akhir abad ke-9 hingga akhir abad ke-11 M) dan di situs Bukit Hasang (abad ke-12 hingga awal abad ke-16 M) dari tahun 1995 sampai tahun 2005 kemudian di tengah propinsi yang sama, yaitu di daerah Padang Lawas, khususnya di situs pemukiman kuno Si Pamutung (akhir abad ke-9 hingga awal abad ke-14 M) dari tahun 2006 sampai tahun 2010, penelitian yang serupa di situs Kota Cina pasti dapat memperkayakan data-data mengenai sejarah kuno Sumatra bagian utara untuk zaman tersebut. Selain itu, di samping kemungkinan yang terbuka luas sekarang untuk melakukan banyak perbandingan dari segi artefak dengan’ situs sezaman yang baru digali di Barus dan di Padang Lawas, pengalaman kami dalam penelitian arkeologis Sumatra Utara selama 16 tahun akan sangat membantu untuk meneliti situs Kota Cina.

Abstract

Objectives:

Cities today support half of the earth’s population. In this context, this project establishes cities as the most important spaces where human beings are destined to live in the future and, as its main objective, seeks to find methods for creating harmonious relationships between cities and the earth’s environment. The project therefore will investigate megacities in order (1) toshed light on the mechanism of megaurbanization and historical restrictive conditions, (2) to establish methods for recognizing megacities in an integrated manner according to various disciplines, history and culture, etc, (3) to indicate integrated solutions for mitigating negative impacts, (4) to sindicate models of how cities that successfully integrate environmental, economic and social affluence should be, and (5) to approach megacity issues from urban micro to macro and from regions by variousstakeholders to the international arena.



Methodology:

The project has formed a fieldwork team consisting of nine researchers who respectively do research in Jabodetabek area. Shin Muramatsu. the project leader will supervise the team and manage collaboration with the counterparts, the University of Indonesia (Ul) and Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI). In addition, Muramatsu will integrate our analysis both in cognitive science and in design science as a whole, beside his own research on urban spaces with greenery in Jabodetabek.

Akinobu Murakami deals with the “natural environment” with analyses of land cover classification, surface temperature simulations and observation of residents’ behavior. Kengo Hayashi involved in the “built environment*’ will do research by categorization of residential districts according to population, land use pattern and arrangement of dwellings, estimation of total building material stocks and calculation of the building vulnerability. Yuko Muramatsu and Hironori Kato are in charge of the “social environment”, investigating the change of the marketing systems and its impact on the food lifestyles, lifestyles of local people with the questionnairesurvey, statistical analyses of the result and modeling approaches. Furthermore, Ryuto Shimada,Hiroshi Izumikawa and Hiroko Matsuda are going to conduct the archival researches on the environmental history, the economic history and the history of the water management. Finally, Akiko Hori will organize the joint workshops on 3 dimensional urban conditions in order to recommend strategic management by different scenarios to forecast long term future and acupuncture intervention to limited spots of a megacity, and will contribute to proposal of a future megacity design.

(D.1) Biodiversity Studies to Support Conservation in the Rainforest of Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan penelitian keanekaragaman dan ekologi di hutan rawa gambut serta memonitor perubahan habitat dan keanekaragamannya sebagai akibat dari gangguan manusia dan pelaksanaan manajemen konservasi

Bidang Penelitian : Biologi


Daerah Penelitian : Kalimantan Tengah (Lab Alam Gambut, Sebangau, Kalampangan, Hutan Bawan)

Mitra Kerja : Fransiskus A. Harsanto, S.Hut, dan Santiano –CIMTROP Universitas Palangka Raya

Abstract

The lowland rainforests of Central Kalimantan are among the most biodiverse areas on Earth, yet are threatened by a variety of human activities. These include fire, drainage of peat swamps, conversion to agriculture, logging, and harvesting of certain species for food and pet trade. Conservation efforts are therefore needed in order to manage these forests to conserve their biodiversity for the future. Biodiversity studies are crucial to: (1) assess the value of different forests for biodiversity conservation, to enable more efficient targeting of limited resources; and (2) to monitor the effectiveness of conservation actions. I will assist with biodiversity studies in the Natural Laboratory of Peat Swamp Forest (NLPSF), Sabangau; the unprotected Bawan and Kalampangan Forests; and hopefully other non-protected areas in Central Kalimantan to achieve these aims. Sabangau is a particularly important area of tropical peat-swamp forest, due to its role as home to populations of many endangered species, including the largest population of orang-utans in the world and the largest known contiguous population of gibbons in



Indonesia and the huge amounts of carbon locked away in its peat. The NLPSF is managed by CIMTROP (the Centre for the International Cooperation in Management of Tropical Peatlands), an Indonesian research and conservation institution based at the University of Palangka Raya (UNPAR). I will assist with studies designed to further our knowledge of peat-swamp forest biodiversity and ecology, and to monitor changes to the habitat and its biodiversity arising from human disturbances and conservation management actions. Research in Bawan Forest and Kalampangan will focus on documenting the importance of the area for biodiversity conservation, through a number of sampling methods. Ecological monitoring programmes of this nature are crucial for documenting the responses of different animal groups to natural- and human-induced changes in habitat condition.

Abstract

This research began as part of a U.S. Student Research Fulbright Grant from the American-Indonesian Exchange Foundation (AMINEF, Jakarta) and has now been expanded to form the basis for my PhD thesis in cooperation with Universitas Nasional, Jakarta and Universitas Mulawarma, Samarinda.

The primary goal of this research originally was broader but soon after beginning I narrowed the scope and the goal was to examine the elevational distribution of avian communities along an elevational gradient in the Heart of Borneo region. I completed point transect surveys and mist netting at elevations between 600 m and 1200 m on two mountains in the Long Apari region of Kalimantan Timur in the headwaters of the Mahakam river near the village of Long Apari.

Point counts detected 163 species of birds on the site, and 61 species have been mist-netted for a total of 167 species in the region. This included some species not previously documented from the area, and should help to clarify range maps by filling in gaps for the little-known distribution of avifauna in this region of the island.

My hypotheses were generally supported. A number of these species showed moderate to strong elevational preferences as evidenced by their nonrandom distribution with respect to transect elevation. Elevation, rather than habitat, was most important in predicting species and foraging guild distribution. Lowland specialists were absent from moderate to high elevation hill forests, providing an important confirmation of past studies. My goal and interest in future work will be to survey other mountains of similar characteristics but different locations within Kalimantan, compare the elevational distribution of bird species, and draw conclusions about the mechanisms producing these distributions.

Indonesia is the third most biologically diverse country in the world after Brazil and Colombia. In an effort to protect these resources on the island of Borneo, the ‘Heart of Borneo’ (HoB) initiative was signed by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei in February 2007. This agreement seeks to conserve forest resources in Borneo while improving local peoples’ welfare through a network of connected protected areas.



The current lack of baseline biological information from the HoB region makes the development of conservation plans difficult. In particular, it is not known quantitatively to what extent lowland bird species can persist in hilly and submontane forests. Because much of the remaining primary forest in Borneo, including two of the largest protected areas in Kalimantan (TN Betung Kerihun and TN Kayan Mentarang), are comprised mostly of this hilly forest, it is very important to understand the patterns and mechanisms of species distribution along elevational gradients. Such information will contribute to future conservation and management.

The latitudinal gradient in species diversity is a widely recognized pattern in ecology, and much effort has been directed towards explaining the observed pattern of declining species richness with increasing latitude (Koleff & Gaston, 2009; Rohde, 1992; Rosenzweig, 1992; Taylor & Gaines, 1999; Veech, 2000). Proposed explanations for this effect have included gradients of primary productivity (Hutchinson, 1959), differences in speciation and extinction rates (Janzen, 1967; Rohde, 1992), climatic and geologic history (Fjeldså & Rahbek, 2012), Rapoport’s effect (Stevens, 1989), as well as null models including the mid-domain effect (Colwell & Lees, 2000; Veech, 2000). Rohde (1992) has pointed out that many commonly cited potential explanations are either circular or unsupported by empirical data, and concludes that greater effective evolutionary speed in the tropics is the main driver behind this diversity.

Confusion about what patterns are most commonly observed, difficulties in comparing species diversity measurements taken at different scales, and the lack of understanding of the productivity-species diversity relationship make elucidating mechanisms particularly challenging (Rosenzweig, 1992). Many ecologists now agree that a single explanatory factor is unlikely to account for differences in diversity along the latitudinal gradient and there has been an increased focus on investigative approaches that consider an array of interacting abiotic and biotic factors (Lomolino, 2001; Rahbek, 1997).

Whereas the mechanisms producing the latitudinal gradient in species diversity remain widely debated, the existence of the effect is not. Most taxa display a similar general trend (Ruggiero & Lawton, 2008), making elucidating the mechanisms producing this pattern, and the related patterns observed on elevational gradients, a central goals in ecology (Lomolino, 2001). Such an understanding would no doubt increase our understanding of a number of ecological processes at smaller, as well as continental, scales.

Ecologists interested in understanding the mechanisms behind latitudinal gradients in species diversity have long observed a similar trend which occurs along a gradient that is much more spatially compressed but which shows many apparent similarities – the elevational gradient (Terborgh, 1971). Stevens (1992) discussed this relationship between the two gradients and suggested that many of the same processes may account for the declining diversity along both gradients. In particular, he suggested and tested for an Altitudinal Rapoport’s Effect (ARE) to explain patterns of avian diversity in South America (Stevens, 1992). Both the Latitudinal



Rapoport Effect (LRE) and the ARE have since been much discussed in the literature (Ashton, 2001; Bhattarai & Vetaas, 2006; Colwell & Lees, 2000; Kattan & Franco, 2004; Lee, Chun, Song, & Cho, 2013; McCain & Bracy Knight, 2012; Rahbek, 1997; Ribas & Schoereder, 2006; Rohde, 1992; Ruggiero & Lawton, 2008; Sanders, 2002; Taylor & Gaines, 1999; Veech, 2000).

There are indeed many similarities. As both latitude and elevation increase, average temperature decreases as generally does primary productivity, whereas the range of climatic conditions experienced widens (Stevens, 1992). However, Rahbek (1995) has highlighted some significant differences between high latitudes and high elevation sites in the tropics. Increased seasonality at higher latitudes is contrasted with relative seasonal stability at all elevations in the tropics, where variation in temperature is primarily diurnal (Rahbek, 1997). Although temperature does decrease as elevation increases, an equally important climatic factor, precipitation, may decrease steadily (Stevens, 1992) or show a mid-elevation peak (Rahbek, 1997). Rahbek (1997) notes that this mid-elevation peak in precipitation has no parallel in latitudinal gradients, nor do the tendencies for increasing natural disturbance and fragmentation frequency with increasing elevation (Graves, 1985).

Abstract

Overview: Indonesia is the global epicenter of marine biodiversity. We are proposing a series of different studies to explore the causes of this exceptional biodiversity. Our previous research in Indonesia has suggested that there are 2 key barriers to the dispersal of marine larvae. However, these two barriers seem insufficient to explain the remarkable diversity found in the coral reefs of Indonesia. As such, we proposal an integrated approach to investigating other mechanisms of promoting Indonesian marine biodiversity patterns. These focus on the process of community assembly, effects of pollution, ecological effects, and the role of differences in fish coloration. This integrated approach will give us a much better understanding of the different processes shaping Indonesian biodiversity patterns. Because our project consists of several different approaches, we have organized our application in to a series of subproject, and include the primary investigators on these (below).

Educational Framework: We do all of our research in Indonesia in a collaborative educational framework. All work will be based out of the Indonesian Biodiversity Research Center in collaboration with our official research sponsor, Dr. I Gusti Ngurah Mahardika from Udayana University and will be governed by MOUs and MTAs with LIPI. The Indonesian Biodiversity Research Center was developed out of our previous research and education efforts in Indonesia, supported by a $650,000 grant from USAID. Our proposed research activities will form the basis of 3 courses taught for Indonesian students and scientists from Diponegoro University (UNDIP), Udayana University (UNUD), the State University of Papua (UNIPA), LIPI Oceanologi, and Conservation International Indonesia. These courses include 1) Scientific Diving, 2) Marine Biodiversity Survey’s, and 3) Molecular Ecology. We are not only training Indonesian in these skills, but we are inviting back 4 participants last year to train them to lead future trainings across Indonesia. In total we expect 15 Indonesian students to be trained over 3 months of our total planned research activities. Our project is funding the faculty of these courses as well as the expenses for travel and participation of Indonesian participants.

Abstract

During the period 2009 and 2011 the Coral Reef research Unit, in collaboration with the Research and Development Centre for Marine, Coast and Small Islands, University of Hasanuddin and funded through Operation Wallacea, undertook a multi-themed research project entitled “Survey of the Marine Biodiversity, Ecology and Natural Resource Management of the Wakatobi Marine National Park, South East Sulawesi, Indonesia”. The research project was very successful in addressing its key aims, and resulted in numerous scientific publications, the publication of a book and several capacity building. Herein we describe our new proposed research programme that would capitalise on the findings of the last but focus more on the key issues impacting marine systems on the Wakatobi both at the present time and in to the future.

The new research programme proposes to address five key research themes and to use these research topics to address the key issues of Climate Change, Environmental Governance and the need to Capacity Build within the Wakatobi and wider region. These cross-cutting issues will be addressed from the context of 1) Coral Reef Form and Function 2) Coral Reef Resilience 3) Life in the Extremes 4) Coral Reef Resources and 5) Coral Reef Management which represent the research themes. The thematic approach will provide a strong research framework in which do address the key issues, whilst also providing an adaptive potential through evolving and objective led research tasks.

The proposed represents a series of activities that will help to maintain and sustain the Wakatobi Marine Park as a centre of international quality research, research that is aimed at advancing global knowledge of coral reefs but also, and most importantly, research that informs present and future management. It is most important that such research activities as outlined herein, incorporate elements of capacity building to ensure that lessons learnt from the research are passed on to future researchers and decision makers. Therefore this document outlines our proposed approach to increase capacity building activities through the provision of taught, experience and learning based opportunities.

(D.6) Plant genetic diversity in tropical lowland rainforest transformation systems

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari konsekuensi dari perubahan hutan hujan pada level keanekaragaman intraspecific



Daerah Penelitian : Jambi (TN Bukit Dua Belas dan Hutan Harapan)

Mitra Kerja : Prof. Dr. Iskandar Z. Siregar – IPB

Abstract

The transformation of tropical lowland rainforests to other types of land use has considerable impacts on biodiversity levels and patterns at different spatial scales from local to global. Losses of plant species diversity along gradients of increasing land use intensity are well documented, but the consequences of rainforest transformation have rarely been studied at the level of intraspecific diversity. Population genetic theory predicts losses of genetic diversity as a consequence of fragmentation and small remnant populations. Intraspecific (genetic) diversity is a fundamental aspect of biodiversity and a main resource for adaptation to environmental change.



The aim of this project is to study the consequences of rainforest transformation at the level of intraspecific diversity and to assess intraspecific diversity in different transformation systems by the investigation of dominant vascular plant species with different taxonomic and phylogenetic positions and life history traits (growth forms, mating systems longevity, etc.). Comparing the results to other aspects of biodiversity investigated by other groups will allow investigating trade offs between intraspecific diversity of vascular plants with other aspects of biodiversity, e.g. plant diversity. The intention is to test the following hypothesis; a decline of species diversity from reference forests to oil palm plantations is mirrored by a decline of intraspecific diversity of the plant species dominating the respective systems.

Methodology and concept

Ten dominant species will be selected in each of the 32 core sites based on rough estimates of above ground biomass. We propose above ground biomass as a simple proxy for the ‘dominance’ or importance of a given species for general ecosystem functions, which can be rapidly assessed. All vascular plants, including ferns and epiphytes, will be considered as long as reasonable estimates of their biomass within the 50x50 m plots can be obtained. Species will be morphological identified and if necessary confirmed by DNA barcoding. Ten plants from each selected species will be collected at each site. Herbarium voucher specimen of all sampled plants will be kept at the University of Jambi to allow reassessment of the species status as necessary. An overlap of the selected species is expected in particular for the intensively managed transformation systems (rubber and oil palm plantations). Thus, considerable less than the maximum of 320 species (32 sites x 10 species/site) are expected to be included in the analysis.

The anonymous fingerprinting method AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms) will be used for the assessment of intraspecific genetic diversity. For this purpose approximately 2 g of leaf material will be collected and dried on silica gel. For this analysis all samples will be shipped to Germany.

(D.7) Impact of urbanization on coral reef ecosystems (Spermonde Archipelago, Sulawesi, Indonesia)

Lama Penelitian : 2 (dua) bulan mulai 30 Juli 2012

Abstract

Current biodiversity estimates suggest that modern coral reefs house between 4 and 5% of all described species. The origins and maintenance of these diverse ecosystems remains, however, poorly known, particularly as the relative importance of controls that maintain the structure of reef communities differ according to the scale of consideration. Although the development of biodiversity is increasingly placed in a historical context, the development of a comprehensive model is hampered by the difficulty to develop a timeline of the biotic response to large scale environmental disturbance. The planned research will contribute to the understanding of temporal variability of assemblage structures to disentangle natural variability and anthropogenic impact in a reef system. In addition, it will show the response of the sensitive reef and inter reef environments to increased terrestrial influx related to increased anthropogenic influence. Combined this will provide valuable new insights towards the resilience and protection of coral reefs.

Today, due to both global and local influences coral reefs around the world are facing a scenario of steady declines in coral cover punctuated by periodic large-scale perturbations. Our current understanding has offered much towards understanding spatial variation, but falls behind in explaining temporal dynamics. However, to assess whether and how ecosystem dynamics have changed over the past ~200 years, it is critical to document ecosystem dynamics before large human activity. Most datasets of reef biota cover short time-spans. In the Spermonde Archipelago (S\V Sulawesi, Indonesia) there is the unique opportunity to built a data set spanning 30 years, complemented by sediment cores covering the past 500-1000 years.

We propose a total system approach and take into account interaction between physical, geochemical and ecological processes. We will combine data on the assemblage composition of stony corals, sponges, large benthic foraminifera, and molluscs, with detailed assessments



of environmental data (benthic community structure, sedimentary facics and stable isotopes). Large benthic foraminifera are known to be abundant in both reef and inter reef environments, and are excellent model organisms to asses reef health. The detailed characterisation of scdimcntological parameters (e.g. grain-size distribution, mineralogy, organic content) will help to understand the current sediment distribution pattern within the reef and, the often neglected, inter reef environments. The geochemical parameters will help to quantify temperature and salinity distribution through time. Assemblage composition of large benthic foraminifera, as well as sediment composition and geochemical analysis of the sediments in the cores will show the response of the system to environmental variability and the capacity to recover. The environmental tolerances of species as determined during the first part of the study will provide a framework for the interpretation of trends over years to hundreds of years. Our full system approach will result in valuable new insights in linking ecological resilience to environmental variability in coral reefs.

For this project, in situ surveys will be conducted to provide observations at various scales: gcomorphology, species composition and habitat. During the in situ surveys, we will asses assemblages of fishes, large benthic foraminifera (LBF) and sponges; we will combine these data with detailed assessments of environmental data (benthic community structure, sedimentary facies and stable isotopes).

Abstract

Marine lakes are unique marine habitats that could provide researchers with new insights into complex ecological and evolutionary processes in the marine realm. This rather scarce and unknown marine ecosystem is found in several disconnected island nations and comprise land-locked Holocene marine basins with inhabitants of marine descent. The relatively small populations isolated in the marine lakes, which represent a combination of multiple heterogeneous environments with varying degrees of isolation to each other and to the open sea, offer unprecedented opportunities for fundamental studies on Holocene evolution in marine taxa, which typically lack fossil records. Approximately 200 marine lakes are thought to be distributed worldwide, of which “Jellyfish Lake” in Palau (Micronesia) is likely the most well known. Studies in Palau have demonstrated that these lakes show untapped potential for studies on marine evolution. Recently, similar marine lakes have been discovered in Indonesia. Pilot studies on these marine lakes in East Kalimantan and Papua revealed that sponges are some of the most abundant and diverse groups, with a high number of rare and unknown species, as well as species that are common in the surrounding reef area. We propose to document the unique fauna of Indonesian marine lakes in order to investigate the variation in community composition within and outside of the lakes. In parallel we wish to conduct molecular analyses to assess the level of divergence between species and populations. We expect to conduct fundamental work towards a general understanding of biogeographical relationships and population structures of benthic marine species. The anticipated results



will, furthermore, provide information that can be applied for selecting the most effective and appropriate conservation measures for these vulnerable ecosystems.

Abstract

Population connectivity, i.e. the degree to which local production results in recruitment to other populations, is an important process that affects the survival, regeneration and evolution of coral assemblages. There are two time scales of connectivity: the ecological scale that operates at relatively short time scales (1-20 years) and is important for maintaining local populations, and the evolutionary scale which operates over longer time frames and is important for evolutionary mechanisms such as speciation and adaptation.



It has long been assumed that Western Australian coral populations are connected with Indonesian coral populations via the transport of larvae. Western Australian and Indonesian coral reefs have a common ancestry in the ancient Sea of Tethys, a vast tropical ocean around the centre of the world that existed prior to the breakup of Gondwanaland. While it has been assumed that this connectivity is sustained in contemporary times, this assumption has never actually been tested.

This project will investigate connectivity between coral populations in Indonesia and north Western Australia, and will provide information about connectivity on both the ecological timescale and the evolutionary time scale. The determination of regional connectivity among Indonesian and north Western Australian reefs is interesting from an evolutionary perspective and will have important implications for marine planning and management of coral populations in north Western Australia. However, it is also important for managing coral reefs in the present because the degree of connectivity determines the degree to which conservation efforts should be addressed on a local or broader international scale.

Abstract:

The small terrestrial mammal and bird faunas of Indonesia represent remarkably species-rich and morphologically diverse groups of animals. Indonesia’s shrews and rats, for example, are very poorly known in terms of their diversity, geographic distributions, ecologies, evolutionary relationships, and conservation statuses. We propose to inventory small terrestrial mammals and birds along elevational gradients on Java and Sulawesi to provide improved information on diversity, relationships, and ecology of Indonesia’s unique fauna. Our new surveys will almost certainly result in the discovery of new species and contribute to in-progress research on the phylogenetic relationships and diversification patterns in Southeast Asian vertebrates. -Anticipated products include seminars and peer-reviewed publications on the taxonomy and evolutionary relationships of Indonesian mammals and birds, which have direct implications for the preservation of Indonesian biodiversity. Indonesian collaborators are intimately involved in every stage of this research, including authorship of peer-reviewed publications.



Objectives:

a) InventorysmallmammalsandbirdsonmountainsinJavaandSulawesi,specificallyintheprovinces of Bogor, Sulawesi Selatan, Sulawesi Tengah, Sulawesi Barat, Sulawesi Tenggara, Sulawesi Utara, and Gorontalo.

b) Describenewspeciesinscientificpublications.c) Investigate phylogenetic relationships and biogeography and publish results in peer-

reviewedscientificjournals.

d) Expand Indonesian collaborators’ and students’ expertise in biodiversity science.

e) Improve assessments of conservation priority areas by providing inventories of small mammals and birds

Mammalian diversity in Indonesia is staggeringly diverse at over 500 species, with more than 60% of these taxa endemic to the country (Wilson & Reeder 2005). In addition to this high diversity, Indonesia’s fauna remains poorly known, especially on the large islands east of Java—new species and genera of mammals are still being described frequently (e.g., Musser & Durdert 2002; Bates et al. 2007), suggesting much diversity remains to be discovered (Reeder et al. 2007; Esselstyn et al. 2009).

Mitra Kerja : Prof. Dadang A. Suriamiharja, Dr. Ir. D. Agnes Rampisela – Universitas Hasanuddin

Abstract

In Sulawesi, 12 species belonging to 7 genera of the subfamily Scaphidiinae are recorded: Baeocera derougeemonti, Birocera derougemonti, Birocera puntatissima, Scaphidium celebense, Scaphidium sondaicum, Scaphisoma bugi, Scaphisoma napu, Scaphisoma obliquemacuhtum. Scaphisoma palu, Scaphisoma sandang, Scaphobaeocera celebense and Termitoscaphium kistneh.

The relationship between the land area and living species is discussed many scientists and it is known that it indicates a approximate correlation. In Islands, however, the correlation is different from mainland, but it is demonstrated as dynamic equilibration by MCARHUR and WILSON (1967). The species-area relation in the island is compared to Japanese species, and Sulawesi representatives are expected to be approximate 40 ~ 60 species from the consideration of above data.



This island is formed by 3 continental plates which are the Pacific, Eurasian and Indian-Australian plates through plate tectonics. The Sulawesi being an ecotone of the biogeographical regions changed from Australasia to Indomalaya is called the “Wallacea”, and is important region for elucidating the phylogenetic and taxonomic problems of this subfamily.

Research project will be conducted at mountains and lowlands in Sulawesi, namely, G. Lompobatang (alt. 2871m), G Ogoamas (alt. 2565m), G Malino (alt. 2443m), G Tentoiomafinan (alt. 2217m), G Boliohutu (alt. 2065m), G Gambuta (alt. 1954m), G Bulawa (alt. 1970m) and G Poniki (alt. I SI 7m), and their vicinities.

Collecting methods are provided with three ways, viz. sifting with a sieve and tray, night collecting from fungi by looking (to collect living adults), and using Flight intercept traps (to collect flying adult rove beetles).

Abstract

The Indonesian island of Sulawesi is a globally important hotspot of avian endemism, yet Sulawesi’s birds have received little formal study. Indeed, several avian taxa still unknown to science have been reported in the Lore Lindu and Lake Matano areas in central Sulawesi (Sulawesi Tengah and Sulawesi Selatan). These taxa, for all of which specimens are unavailable, include a new flycatcher presumably of the genus Mascicapa, a Ninox owl that may either be a new race of N. ios or an undescribed species, a new thrush tentatively referred to the Turdus poliocephalns complex, a new white-eye probably of the Zoster ops atrifrons complex, and one or more new taxa of the cardueline finch Serinus estherae complex. Further ornithological exploration of montane central Sulawesi will almost certainly result in discoveries and descriptions of new species. We hypothesize that the montane avifauna of central Sulawesi has a distinctive composition from that of Sulawesi’s other mountain ranges. We will test this hypothesis with field work involving intensive field surveys, extensive vouchered audio recording, and morphological analysis via collected specimens caught by mist netting. Specimen collections’will be conducted under the supervision of the Research Centre for Biology (RCB) and will be deposited as scientific collections at the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriensc. Our integrative approach, that unites morphology and bioacoustics, will provide critical new data on the systematics and ecology of these poorly known species. Description of new taxa and new fundamental information on Sulawesi’s montane birds will help direct conservation effort, which is fast becoming critical in this region of rapid habitat loss.

(D.14) Structure, Stability and Functioning of Macro-Invertebrate Communities in Rainforest Transformation Systems in Sumatra, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Meneliti keanekaragaman species dan kelimpahan comunitas invertebrata makro


Lama Penelitian : 12 (dua belas) bulan mulai 6 September 2012


Mitra Kerja : Dr. Tri Heru Widarto - IPB

Abstract

The proposed project (B01) has four major goals which will be investigated in four work packages (WPs). This proposal concerns WP 1 and 2:

• WP1:Investigatechangesinthespeciesdiversityandabundance,body-massandtrophiclevel structure of macro-invertebrate communities of the litter and upper soil layers with lowland rainforest transformation

• WP2: Investigate the role of bottom-up (litter quality) and top-down forces (predatorssuch as ants) in determining the biomass densities of the litter and soil macro-invertebrate communities

Research location

The research will implemented in Jambi Province in Sumatra, with the fastest and most complete transformation of tropical lowland rainforest. We focus on tropical lowland rainforests as these are experiencing the strongest losses worldwide (Achard et al. 2002). In particular, the massive transformation of lowland rainforest into oil palm plantations has been identified as a major threat for biodiversity and a potential driver of climate change (Danielsen et al. 2009, Giam et al. 2010, Wilcove and Koh 2010).



Two landscapes within Jambi Province have been chosen for the CRC research comprising large units of lowland rainforest: National Park Bukit Duabelas and Harapan Rainforest. The transformation systems to be investigated include lowland rainforest as reference sites, jungle rubber (extensive rubber plantations), and intensive rubber and oil palm plantations. Lowland rainforest reference sites represent old-growth forest but have been subject to logging. Large sites of untouched natural rainforest are no longer existing in Jambi province, but the lowland rainforest reference sites selected represent large rainforest regions in a close to natural state. Jungle rubber represents an extensive management system which is established by planting rubber trees into rainforest. Its implementation dates back into the early 20* century but still covers large areas of Jambi. In each of the two landscapes (comprising blocks in a randomized complete block design), four replicates of each of the four transformation systems (including the lowland rainforest as reference) will be investigated. These 32 sites will constitute the core sites; covering these core sites is mandatory for all CRC scientific projects (SPs) that collect micro level data. In addition to investigating established transformation systems, a reforestation experiment will be established near Harapan Rainforest landscape. The experiment aims at investigating principal questions of how to establish sustainable forest management systems, optimizing both conservation needs and socioeconomic benefits. Apart from the work on these sites and on the reforestation experiment, socioeconomic surveys will be undertaken in the same sites, but also including a broader area in Jambi Province to be able to capture institutional heterogeneity, which is important for comprehensive understanding of socioeconomic causes a nd consequences of land use changes.

Abstract

Effects of land-use on tropical plant diversity to date have been mainly studied based on species occurrences and abundances. Other aspects of biological diversity such as functional diversity (FD) or phylogenetic diversity (PD) have been only rarely integrated (but see Mayfield et al. 2006). On the other hand, there is clear evidence that crucial ecosystem functions are determined rather by the number of functional traits in a community than by its number of species (Hooper et al. 2005). For instance, grassland experiments have shown that the number of functional groups better predicts productivity than the number of species (Tilman et al. 1997). Furthermore, functional redundancy in plant communities leads to greater ecosystem resilience (Laliberte et al. 2010). Recent approaches in functional plant ecology, the increasing availability of phylogenetic data, novel bioinformatic tools, and advances in statistical modelling opens new avenues for an expanded perspective on how functional and phylogenetic diversity and the biogeographic patterns of species change in rainforest transformation systems. The integration of ecological traits with data on phylogenetic community structure can offer new insights on how communities are structured and which processes (e.g. niche conservatism, environmental filtering) determine changes in community composition and diversity, e.g. along environmental or land-use gradients (Webb et al. 2002; Kembel & Hubbell 2006). Often phylogenetic distance is used as a proxy for functional dissimilarity, but the validity of this assumption has rarely been tested. More importantly, taxonomic diversity (TD), PD, FD are not necessarily closely and linearly correlated. For instance, the loss of species from functionally highly redundant communities will result in only limited losses of FD compared to communities with low functional Taxonomic, phylogenetic, functional, and biogeographical diversity of vascular plants B06 redundancy (Flynn et al. 2009; compare Fig. 2)).This SP aims at providing an integrative perspective on how PD and FD change along gradients of TD and across different transformation systems.

The overarching goal of this SP is to quantify the effects of rainforest transformation on plant diversity and ecosystem functioning by (1) integrating different metrics of biodiversity: taxonomic, phylogenetic, functional, and biogeographical; (2) investigating how plant diversity is partitioned at different spatial scales (alpha, beta, gamma).

Abstract

The activities in Indonesia are part of a global latitudinal comparison in the framework of the GAME program (Global Approach by Modular Experiments), which is coordinated by IFM-GEOMAR in Kiel, Germany. GAME provides graduate students from participating institutions with the opportunity to work on their theses in the frame of an international research and education project. Students always work in teams (one International and one German student).

GAME-X is focusing on worldwide investigations of the ecology of invasive marine invertebrates. Starting from current knowledge, the participants will investigate, if adverse conditions during transport processes foster the abundance of stress-tolerant individuals in various marine invertebrate species. Therefore they will perform a series of laboratory experiments.

Participants of GAME-X come from partner institutions in Turku (Finnland), Lissabon (Portugal), Coquimbo (Chile), Niteroi (Brasilia). The Indonesian partner institution is the Institut Pertanian Bogor.

Abstract

Mycorrhizal fungi form mutualistic interactions with plant roots and function as key link fornutrient exchange between the above- and belowground compartment.The main goal is to investigate the impact of decreasing tree species diversity on the diversityand function of mycorrhizal communities and feed-backs on n acquisition. To this end we willwork in the core plots along a tree diversity gradient and study N concentrations in soil andplant compartments (short term uptake and long term uptake of N). Uptake studies studieswill be conducted on selected plots.

Substantially we have three work plans. The Goal of the first work plan is to determine fungaldiversity in EM (ectomycorrhizal) and non-EM roots (= AM (arbuscularmycorrhizal)+nonmycorrhizal roots) as well as in soil in a land use gradient comprising lowland tropicalrainforest, jungle rubber, rubber plantations and oil palm plantations.

The goal of the second work plan is to investigate whether sites differing in plant andmycorrhizal diversity differ in uptake of nitrate or ammonium and if the fluxes are affected dydecreasing plant diversity.And the third work plan will focus on the long term uptake of organic N. The significance oforganic N sources for plant nutrition in tropical forest ecosystems



has rarely been studied. Toaddress the role of differences in mycorrhizal community structures and their contribution toecosystem services, we will select plots representing contrasting situations based on theresults of the first and second work plan.


Changes within mycorrhizal fungal communities caused by the transformation from lowland tropical rainforests to more capital-intensive agro-forest systems will be investigated by a combination of molecular methods, morphological and anatomical analyses and will be related to root diversity as well as root nutrient concentrations. N fluxes will be determined by stabile isotopes.

For the characterization of soil and root fungal diversity in relation to mineral nutrient content and tree species diversity, soil cores will be collected with a soil corer in each of the core plots (see 3) research location). The goal is to identify 1000 roots and their EM (ecto¬mycorrhizal) or AM (arbuscularmycorrhizal) associations, which will enable us to determine host preferences to the fungi. Roots will be sorted under a field dissecting-microscope according to root colonization type and each fraction will be used for nutrient analyses as well as for molecular analyses. Soil and root samples for high-throughput sequencing will be kept over silica gel and shipped to Gottingen.

Short term mineral N uptake in relation to mycorrhizal diversity will be detected stabile isotopes. Solutions containing either labelled N03 or NH4 at concentrations in the range of the natural abundance will be used to flush a surface patch and samples will be collected during a time course of some hours to some days after N application. Long term organic N uptake in relation to mycorrhiza and forest type will be also determined by stabile isotopes. To prepare 15N labelled litter, seeds of Shorea leprosula, which is an abundant species, will be collected and plants will be grown in the nursery of the University of Jambi. The plants will be regularly irrigated with a solution containing 1*N-labelled nitrogen. After a year, plants will be harvested and the allocation of 15N to different plant parts will be measured with Bambang (University of Jambi), who will be involved in this during a research visit in Gottingen.

Bidang Penelitian : Biologii

Lama Penelitian : 5 (lima) bulan mulai 6 September 2012


Mitra Kerja : IPB (Dr. Didik Suharjito), Universitas Jambi (Dr. Adrizal)

Abstract

Research Objectives: Analysis of socio-economic determinants of land allocation at the village level.

Methodology and concept: Within about 100 villages we will conduct census questionnaires to collect data on village level. In addition we will apply an experimental design (trust and dictator game) to elicit true preferences that cannot be asked by means of questionnaires.

Research location: The research will implemented in Jambi Province in Sumatra, with the fastest and most complete transformation of tropical lowland rainforest. We focus on tropical lowland rainforests as these are experiencing the strongest losses worldwide (Achard et al. 2002). In particular, the massive transformation of lowland rainforest into oil palm plantations has been identified as a major threat for biodiversity and a potential driver of climate change (Danielsen et al. 2009, Giam et al. 2010, Wilcove and Koh 2010).

Two landscapes within Jambi Province have been chosen for the CRC research comprising large units of lowland rainforest: National Park Bukit Duabelas and Harapan Rainforest. The transformation systems to be investigated include lowland rainforest as reference sites, jungle rubber (extensive rubber plantations), and intensive rubber and oil palm plantations. Lowland rainforest reference sites represent old-growth forest but have been subject to logging. Large sites of untouched natural rainforest are no longer existing in Jambi province, but the lowland rainforest reference sites selected represent large rainforest regions in a close to natural state. Jungle rubber represents an extensive management system which is established by planting rubber trees into rainforest. Its implementation dates back into the early 20th century but still



covers large areas of Jambi. In each of the two landscapes (comprising blocks in a randomized complete block design), four replicates of each of the four transformation systems (including the lowland rainforest as reference) will be investigated. These 32 sites will constitute the core sites; covering these core sites ismandatory for all CRC scientific projects (SPs) that collect micro level data. In addition to investigating established transformation systems, a reforestation experiment will be established near Harapan Rainforest landscape. The experiment aims at investigating principal questions of how to establish sustainable forest management systems, optimizing both conservation needs and socioeconomic benefits. Apart from the work on these sites and on the reforestation experiment, socioeconomic surveys will be undertaken in the same sites, but also including a broader area in Jambi Province to be able to capture institutional heterogeneity, which is important for comprehensive understanding of socioeconomic causes and consequences of land use changes.

Abstract

My research concerns the effects of grazing on the grasslands of Java. My objectives are to:

1. To determine whether grazing by wild herbivores increases, decreases, or has no effect on biodiversity (both species richness and evenness).

2. To determine whether grazing by wild herbivores increases, decreases, or has no effect on the productivity of the grassland.

3. To identify the most important processes and mechanisms by which grazing influences species composition and productivity.

4. To identify the applications of my research for managing grasslands and the wildlife that usethem,forthebenefitofthepeopleofIndonesia.

Description of study field:

My project falls within the field of ecology. Since I am most interested in the interactions between different plant species as well as interactions with wildlife, the field of study of my research can be described as plant community ecology with aspects of wildlife biology.

Grazing has been shown to increase diversity and has variable effects on aboveground production. This is because hoofed animals graze preferentially on the dominant grass species, allowing other species to come in. The question remains whether such patterns are true for all grasslands—it is unknown how grazing impacts grassland diversity in Indonesia.

Java is extraordinary in that it has both high rainfall and exceptionally fertile soil, due to a history of volcanism. This rare combination makes for extremely productive land, but this high productivity can create an environment where the most competitive species outcompete all others, decreasing diversity. An example of this are the areas that are dominated by Imperata cylindrica (Indonesian: alang-alang), which covers more than 4% of Indonesia’s land area. While grazers (both wild and domestic) relish its young shoots, it is unpalatable when mature. However, land that is released from agriculture or that is heavily grazed is dominated by several species of prostrate grasses, for instance Paspalum conjugatum, Axonopus compressus,Cynodon dactylon,and Chrysopogon aciculatus. These same species of grasses have been reported as



favored forage for Banteng, an endangered species of wild cattle found in a few pockets of Java. Theory and modeling suggest that the effects of grazing should differ across a precipitation and a nutrient gradient, and as such the impact of grazing in Java should be especially dramatic. Presumably, grazing by both wild and domestic herbivores decreases one favorable species, such as Imperata, to the benefit of other, even more favorable species—if this is true, it is opposite of trends in much of the rest of the world.

Banteng (Bos javanicus) are different from many species of wild cattle in that they both browse (consume woody vegetation) and a graze grass.However, there is little consensus in the literature as to relative proportions of grass versus woody vegetation in its diet, and the composition, quality, seasonal variation in their diet in unknown. Quantifying the effect of Banteng and other wild grazers on grassland may inform both grassland community dynamics and the habitat needs of this endangered species.

Abstract

Indonesia is attractive to the students of evolution for a number of reasons. It occupies a central part of the Asian tropics, which is known to harbor the world’s richest and most diverse fauna and flora. It has diverse climatic and vegetational environments. Furthermore, Indonesia consists of many islands that differ in their size and distance from other islands. These islands are distributed over two major biogeographic elements. With the high diversity of habitat conditions and biogeographic peculiarity, Indonesia provides a fascinating arena for various sorts of evolutionary studies, in particular those of speciation and related issues.

This project aims to elucidate mechanisms generating diversity of terrestrial arthropods in Asian tropics, with particular emphasis on insects and some non-insect arthropods such as mites. Our methods include (1) field collection of specimens, (2) gathering in-depth biological information of target taxa, and (3) rearing of insects in the laboratory.

Modes of speciation in tropical organisms are still largely unknown, and our results will greatly contribute to enrich knowledge of this important field of evolutionary biology.

Abstract

Tropical peatlands play an important role in the global carbon pool as they form one of the terrestrial ecosystems with the highest carbon density. Peat accumulation leads to the formation of peat domes that store ombrotrophic water and are characterised by increasing nutrient availability and waterlogging from the top to the lower riverine areas of the domes. Peat domes are naturally covered with peat swamp forests (PSF) that show compositional and structural transitions along the nutrient and waterlogging gradients. Little is known about the functional ecology of peat swamp forests along undisturbed peat domes and under different disturbance regimes of drainage and fire. This study proposes to analyse temporal and spatial



changes of PSF composition and structure in pristine and degraded PSF by combining a field and remote sensing approach. LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) is a state-of-the-art tool to monitor 3D forest structure and spatial organisation in inaccessible forests at a broad scale, but this technique needs to be ground-truthed. The project will be carried out in the BOS (Borneo Orangutan Survival) Mawas Conservation area in collaboration with KFCP (Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership) and results will improve our knowledge on PSF ecology and recovery dynamics and will be valuable to local conservation and restoration initiatives.

Abstract

Restoration of natural ecosystem services is pivotal to promote sustainability in agriculture. Besides, ants and bees provide ecosystem services as pollinators, while in arid environment, the presence of ants and termites reportedly increased the crop yield to 36.

There are a series of publication concerning the consequences upon agricultural intensification. Considering large-scale plantations of oil palm, Acacia mangium, teak, coffee, tea, sugarcane, and cassava in Southeast Asia, it is ironically that the information on termite and ant communities associated with agricultural intensification and urbanization, is relatively rare.

Abstract

The Sulawesi tarsiers are the only mammal species known to exhibit a “duet call:” a loud vocal display in which males and females synchronously call to each other. The acoustic structure of the duet call is known to be correlated with species differentiation and distribution, and two species have recently been described based initially on the structure of their call, including



the newly described (2010) Siau island species, T. tumpara. Sulawesi tarsier species therefore constitute a unique opportunity to study information-rich acoustics in a rapidly disappearing primate taxon.

Colonization patterns of dispersal and allopatric speciation of tarsiers (and other mammal species) across this region have resulted in isolated regions of endemism wherein speciation is likely. Analysis of the acoustic structure of the tarsiers’ ritualized duet calls should help to elucidate the tarsiers’ migration patterns, and will likely be the first step in the description of novel species.

We propose recording tarsier calls on mainland Sulawesi and on nine islands (Lembeh, Bangka, Talisei, Bunaken, Manado Tua, Mantehang, Siau, Biaro, and Tagulandang.) We will then conduct spectrographic analyses on the resulting call data and use principal components and discriminant function analyses to test for congruence between tarsier vocalization structure - assessing the differences and their potential consequences on the conspecificity or lack thereof among Sulawesi tarsier species.

We will spend two weeks on each island, from October 2012 through April 2012. We will be equipped with Edirol field recorders, recording one vocalization every morning between 4am and 5:30am, for a maximum of fourteen samples per island, data analysis will begin in the field, and be completed by May, 2012. Results will increase our understanding of tarsier dispersal and distribution and provide exposure to this charismatic primate. This in turn will serve to promote ecotourism and inform local policy. We will be working with local guides and university students to collect audio-data, so participating parties in the research will be locally based stakeholders with strong interest in the outcomes of the research. Accordingly, whether the individual island populations lead to descriptions of distinct species or not, the research results may be used at the local level to augment and reinforce the guide’s scientific framework, as well as the data that they divulge to their clients, both national and international. The conservation consequences of the work described herein are therefore real and tangible.

Abstract

Geographic distributions of marine organisms is highest in the Indo-West Pacific, and decreases with increasing distance from this area, forming a distinct richness gradient. While many marine organisms exhibit this observation, there are knowledge gaps in several groups of fishes. The Gobiidae is one such group; it is one of the largest families of fishes with more than 2000 described species. Although ecological and economically important, these abundant and diverse fishes are poorly known. The dearth of information surrounding this group stems from the inability to effectively sample and identify them. This has hampered the overall understanding of aquatic biota and community interactions, which is important in view of rapid development of watersheds and coastal areas. To successfully inform conservation policies, it is important to understand species richness patterns and the consequent impacts of aquatic systems. Through this collaborative project with Mataram University, we aim to close the gap in our understanding of gobies distribution, taxonomy and ecology in the Lesser Sunda Islands, with comparative sites throughout Indonesia. Specifically, we aim to answer the following questions

a) What is the diversity of gobies in the Lesser Sunda Islands and comparative sites throughout Indonesia?

b) What other cryptic biota are present at these sites?

c) What are the levels of impacts present at the sites which are sampled?

The answers to these questions will aid in informing conservation policies of aquatic and coastal areas.

(D.26) Effects of environmental enrichment on activity budget and abnormal behaviours of captive slow loris (Nycticebus coucang) in rehabilitation

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari pengaruh pengayaan lingkungan untuk mereduksi perilaku abnormal loris yang berada dalam kandang


Lama Penelitian : 12 (dua belas) bulan mulai 15 Maret2012

Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Barat (Bogor)

Mitra Kerja : Wihermanto - Pusat Konservasi Tumbuhan KR Bogor, LIPI

Abstract

Objectives:

1. To see the effect of environmental enrichment on reducing abnormal behaviours in captive slow lorises.

2. Predict an improvement in animal well-being and future survival in the wild.

3. Predict which type of wild available plants have a greater positive effect on captive slow lorises.

Rehabilitation and release programmes include releasing wild animals that have been injured or captive-bred animals and may be part of a comprehensive conservation effort for an endangered or threatened species (Kleinman, 1989). The success behind captive-reared reintroduction programmes like the golden lion tamarin is because of pre-release conditioning that was responsible for behaviours that increased survival in the wild (Kleinman et al., 1986; Beck, 1991; Stoinski et al., 2003). Post release survival can be increased if captive-bred animals are prepared for the wild before being released. There is evidence that captivity alters an animal’s behaviour from its wild conspecifics (Jule et al., 2008; Marquez-Arias et al., 2010). A more naturalistic captive environment has been suggested to promote wild type behaviours (Carlstead, 1996; Dishman et al., 2009). Mallapur et al., 2007 reported that confiscated primates show high incidence of abnormal behaviour possibly related to a non stimulating environment.

There are several known ways to tackle abnormal behaviour in captive animals which are through genetic selection, drug intervention, positive reinforcement, punishment and environmental enrichment (Mason, 2007). Environmental enrichment is the most common method (Mason, 2007). For example, feeding enrichment helps increase foraging time which is a natural feeding behaviour (Honess et al., 2006a). Although rehabilitating primates are in captivity for the purpose of future release, mental stress should be reduced as much as possible. Chronic stress leading to psychological stress is recognised in primates (Honess et al., 2006b).



Captive slow lorises at International Animal Rescue (IAR) Indonesia, are held in captivity with the intention of reintroduction to the wild. It has been found that wild slow loris (Nycticebus spp) show greatest preference for nectar producing plants with one third of the time spent foraging on sap (Wiens et al., 2007). In relation to this, it could be suggested that environmental enrichment that are tied to producing natural behaviours should be introduced to captive slow lorises.

Methods:

Introducing enrichment to wild-born and captive-bred slow lorises in captivity prior to being released to the wild. Enrichment includes natural plants such as Dischochaeta gracillis, Angiopteris evecta, Paraserianthes falcataria, Pinanga coronate, Plectocomia coronate, Calliandra calothyrsus, Cercopia peltata and Piper aduncum. These plants are readily available around the area of the rescue centre and also available in the secondary forest where the lorises are released. Other enrichment include using bamboo filled with honey, balls hung with honey inside, crickets filled into bamboo. Natural enrichment was prioritized more than the made ones whenever possible. However, due to the lack of staff to collect samples from the wild sometimes easier enrichment which was the hand-made ones were used. We also found that using the natural plants required more effort and were less likely to be feasible long term therefore a mixture of natural and non natural enrichment had to be selected. We hope that by doing this we would slowly be able to introduce a culture between the keepers to give more natural plants instead of made enrichment.

Each enrichment was introduced to one group for a minimum of 4 weeks to observe if any changes had been observed in weight or health. This is very important as these lorises are kept in captivity in unnatural conditions and it is most important to make sure that diseases or too high nutrition is given to them. Data collection as not included during this period. We considered this the habituation to enrichment phase. There were no changes in weight after the one month period nor was there any change in overall health in any of the lorises. We did notice that the lorises sneezed a few times when given some enrichment that contained dried leaves. We believed this to be due to dust particles. However, no long term effect was seen so we concluded that it could not cause any long term respiratory problem.

Abstract

I will be researching the potential of the reef-dwelling echinoderm community to serve as a bioindicator of coral reef health and resilience across a range of human impacts.

Indonesia is the global center of marine biodiversity, but it also has a very high ratio of coastline to land area. This means that as Indonesia becomes increasingly developed, the surrounding marine ecosystem is highly impacted. However, the extent of human impact is largely unknown and difficult to quantify. Identifying accurate bioindicator species would allow us to easily and efficiently evaluate the state of coral reef ecosystems for managment, policy and conservation purposes. Echinoderms are large, slow-moving macroinvertebrates that encompass a variety of trophic levels and have been shown to be sensitive to pollution and other human impacts. Echinoderms tend to feed by class (i.e. starfish=predators, brittle stars=detritivores, urchins=grazers, crinoids=filter feeders). Since a healthy, functioning ecosystem generally has a balanced complement of trophic niches, the ratio of echinoderm biomass at each trophic level may allow us to assess the health and resilience of a reef.

Methods:

I will survey the echinoderm community on coral reefs at a consistent depth and determine the ratio of echinoderm biomass at each trophic level for a pristine reef and compare that ratio of echinoderm biomass to impacted reefs across a gradient of human impact factors. My study will take into account water temperature, turbitiy, nutrificatioft, watershed land use, fishing intensity, current and other additional factors that are yet to be determined.



Results:

I hope to establish a scale of healthy/resilient reefs as well as identifying trophic ratio warning signs that signify “at risk” reefs. This information will be shared with the local community and regional policy makers. I also hope to create a key to identifying Indonesian echinoderm species that will educate and involve the local community and interested tourists, etc.

Abstract

Worldwide, megacities are posing enormous environmental pressure on the marine environment. As a result of multiple stressors such as eutrophication, increased sedimentation, hypoxia, pollution with toxic substances, fishing pressure and habitat degradation, marine organisms and whole ecosystems are challenged, both ecologically and physiologically,



under these stressful conditions. For this PhD project, the effects of environmental stress on ecologically and economically important marine species will be studied on a physiological, ecological and ontogenetic level using a biomarker approach. This project is part of Topic 1 SPICE. Research will primarily be carried out in Jakarta Bay. Field work will be carried out during a number of field visits between September 2012 and February 2015. Using cellular, metabolic and ecological biomarkers, it is expected to find physiological impairments from the environmental pollution as well as trade-offs between basal maintenance and reproduction/activity leading to unsustainable populations. This knowledge will support the establishment of management plans and the sustainable use of environmental resources. In addition, the work in this subproject links to work carried out in by other research groups in Topics 3 and 4 from the SPICE project.

(D.30) Effectiveness of BioRock coral reef restoration

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji efektivitas restorasi terumbu karang, khisisnya BioRock, di sekitar kepulauan Gili



Daerah Penelitian : NTB (Gili Trawangan)

Mitra Kerja : Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Mataram (Dr. Ir. Sitti Hilyana, M.Si., Ir. Lalu Arifin Aria Bakti, M.Agr.)

Abstract

Purpose of Research: In my research I aim to assess effectiveness of reef restoration, specifically BioRock, around the Gili Islands, just off the northwest coast of Lombok, Indonesia.



I hope to identify if the coral restoration in the Gili Islands can be biologically effective for replication at even larger scales in marine parks throughout Indonesia. Many researchers have assessed restored reefs in terms of coral growth, but few have examined if coral community assemblages (the different coral species and shapes that make up the coral reef ), fish diversity and biomass on are comparable to natural reefs in similar habitats. I also hope to determine which habitat characteristics (depth, distance from shore, etc) lead to the most successful restoration projects.

Methodology: My research will have three components: 1) monitoring large highly mobile fish (stationary point counts); 2) monitoring small and hidden fish species (belt transects); and 3) measuring coral and other immobile organisms (quadrat counts). Stationary point counts will be conducted first because large mobile fish are more likely to swim away. I will identify all fish greater than 25cm in length (identifying to species if possible, and estimating length within 5 cm) that swim within a 10 meter diameter during a five minute time period. In order to count all species within the cylinder I will position myself in the center of the cylinder and rotate. For the belt transects, I will make two 20 meter swims (or transects) over the coral identifying species and estimating length of all small (less than 25cm in length), or cryptic (hidden) fish within 2 meters to either side of the transect line. On the first swim I will identify all species greater than 10cm in length, while on the second swim I will identify fish less thanlOcm in length and cryptic species. Quadrat counts will be used to assess coral diversity and assemblages. For this method I will construct 1 by 1 meter square quadrats using P VC pipe. At each site I will randomly place the quadrat in six locations. At each I will identify (to genus or species if possible, otherwise to family) and measure each immobile organism within the boundaries of the quadrat. All monitoring will be conducted by myself, Kelly Haisfield, and my research assistant, Adam Oaks, using self contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) equipment and done monthly at both restored and control sites, which I will identify based on similarity of habitat and geographical location to restored sites. At each site, I will measure spatial location, temperature, depth, visibility, and slope. I will map and spatially analyze sites using Arc GIS 9 software, and statistically analyze fish diversity, biomass and coral assemblages. If commercially important species (sharks, grouper, etc.) are observed outside of transects they will be recorded, but not included in statistical analyses.

Location: Shallow water coral reefs surrounding Gili Trawangan, Lombok, Indonesia.

Abstract

Geological and geophysical seafloor and terrestrial mapping will be conducted in Cenderawasih Bay and the north side of Bird’s Head Peninsula as the foundation of a comprehensive baseline dataset for the region to understand better the impacts of climate change on biohabitats. Despite their remoteness and near-pristine condition, the islands, reefs and forests of the Coral Triangle face immediate threats from climate change and ocean acidification. Our long-term goal is to raise scientific awareness and education in Papua, Indonesia by improving technology and initiating collaborative research efforts to assess how forcing functions such as sea level rise and climate change are impacting these biologically important environments.

Project Summary

High-resolution regional seafloor and coastal terrestrial mapping will be conducted to provide constraints about the past and present processes that have shaped the existing environments that have led to the highly biodiverse ecosystems observed in West Papua. E. Johnstone will be using terrestrial scanning technology to map the beaches along the north side of Bird’s Head Peninsula. She will also use sidescan and multibeam to map the shallow reef environments in Cenderawasih Bay with assistance from researchers and students from UNIPA.



Once regional data has been acquired, researchers will conduct biological and geological sampling efforts to gather chronological information and document dispersal patterns of endangered species. The interdisciplinary approach to research in the area will provide opportunities for extensive training of Indonesian researchers and students, while engaging them in data collection and analysis.

Project Description and Methodology

Terrestrial Mapping of Leatherback nesting beaches

Semi-annual surveys will be carried out of the entire coastline between the West end of the nesting beach of Wembrak to the East end of the nesting beach of Wermon. In July 2011, the first trials will take place and it is expected that the entire coastline will be surveyed in 2 weeks time. During the inter-season (October-November 2011) the coastline will be surveyed again to measure the start of beach erosion at Jamursba Medi (Wembrak, Batu Rumah and Warmamedi) and the start of sand build-up (accretion) at Wermon. In February 2012 the next survey will take place to record the effect of several months of sustained NW monsoon winds.

Abstract

Indonesian coelacanth, Latimeria menadoensis, was found in Manado, Province Sulawesi Utara in 1997. In December 1999, 2 living coelacanths were filmed in north Sulawesi about 300km far from Manado, but since then there has been no record. Our researches since 2005 were conducted in the north area of Sulawesi Island and succeed to find out the coelacanth habitat around Buol, Central Sulawesi Province. In addition, the living coelacanth was filmed in Manado Bay. However detailed information like the range of distribution, population, life history and other behavior are still unknown.

Aquamarine Fukushima has established good co-operation with LIPI and Sam Ratulangi University and conduct Indonesian coelacanth survey together. We need to make it stronger and should study ecosystem in Sulawesi water including the coelacanth habitat as a next step.

Aim of research

The aim of the study is to clear the coelacanth biology and habitat in Indonesia. Theresult of video materials recorded will be utilized for the education and publicawareness of the coelacanth conservations. This survey will be conducted togetherwith researchers of the Research Center for Oceanography, LIPI and the Faculty ofFisheries and Marine Science of Sam Ratulangi University. Through this survey,they will get basic scientific data around the survey area.

The result of this survey will be shared between AMF, LIPI and UNSRAT. It mustavail for the conservation of coelacanth and the marine resource in this area.In addition, because the range of distribution of the coelacanth is expected to existwider in Indonesia, the survey area should expand gradually to other places.

Observation underwater

ROV is operated on the surface and dive until 300m depth for the surface. Itfilms the environment with recording several data like date, time, direction,depth, temperature and so



on.The operation time is usually between 30 minutes and 60 minutes. According toinfluences of the current it is difficult to keep operating against it, however,when the coelacanth is found, we try to film it as long as possible.Each coelacanth has a different spot pattern on the body. It is possible todistinguish each individual using these spot patterns.

During filming, some environmental changes like water temperature will berecorded with the coelacanth behavior. They will be analyzed for the influence ofthe environmental factor to the fish.

The oceanographic data (water temperature, current, under water topography and so on) will be collected during the survey cooperated by RCO-LIPI and UNSEAT. These data will be captured periodically once a month.

Abstract

Due to increasing changes of environmental conditions and overexploitation of coastal habitats like coral reefs, many species inhabiting such habitat suffer depletion of populations, which may lead to local extinctions. The change of species composition may have an influence on the resilience of a whole ecosystem to disturbances and changing environmental conditions. Important factors for an assessment of the status and chance for recovery and adaptation of exploited and disturbed populations is the genetic diversity and connectivity to other conspecific populations.

In this subproject, the genetic population structures, dynamics, and diversities of commercially and/or ecologically important species of coastal habitats (e.g. coral reefs) in two different regions of Indonesia will be measured (Spermonde Archipelago, Sulawesi, and Savu-Sea). We aim to investigate organisms that are either exploited by fisheries of the regions, or fulfil an important ecological role in the construction and conservation of coral reefs. With having a picture of the population structures of these species at the ready, we will be able to estimate the connectivity and dispersal leading to a better understanding of recruitment and recovery possibilities, and underlying factors, at the different sites. This baseline data is useful for a comprehensive picture, together with the data compiled by the other sub-projects, of the state, resilience, and management needs of each species.

We aim to study following organism groups in the subproject:

• Scleractiniancoralspecies;ecologicallyimportantecosystem-engineers

• Herbivorousreeffish:importantforthereefecologyandcoralrecovery(resilience)

• Holothuria:economicallyandecologicallyimportant;nutrientremineralisation

For the genetic analyses, small tissue samples (e.g. 5x5mm fin clip for fish) need to be collected and stored in >96% ethanol until the extraction of the DNA in the laboratory. For each species, at least 20 tissue samples from each sampling site are needed for profound/robust analyses and statistical validation. The tissue samples will be collected directly by scuba diving or snorkelling in a non-invasive manner, whenever possible, or with the least impact upon the animals possible. Additionally, in case of commercially used species (e.g. some fish and holothurian species), the cooperation with local fishermen will be preferably implemented.

The genetic analyses will be conducted in the genetics lab in Bremen (UFT), Germany, and in Purwokerto, Indonesia. For each organism group, listed above, we will choose two species that differ in their reproductive behaviour (e.g. breeding vs. free spawning), or other important factors for dispersal.



The analytical methods in the lab start with the DNA extraction, followed by the amplification of specific DNA fragments used as genetic markers with the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The products will be checked with the gel-electrophorasis and finally the DNA fragments will be sequenced or the lengths will be measured with automated sequencers.

Population genetic analyses, using specific computer based programmes will be conducted to assess the genetic diversity and connectivity of the studied species within the study areas. To have a good coverage of populations in the first study area, Spermonde Archipelago, south Sulawesi, around 15 sample sites, well spread over the whole area, were selected. They are located in all shelf areas, as those might exhibit different current regimes and influences from outside the archipelago, e.g. the land or the Indonesian Throughflow. Additionally, an overlap of study sites with the other subprojects is important to have assortative data for a synergetic analysis. For the second study area, the Savu-Sea, potential six sample sites will hopefully be covered, in cooperation with the other subprojects.

Abstract

In this project we will investigate the abundance of potential coral pathogens (Alteromonodaceae and Vibrionaceae) along an environmental cross-shelf gradient in the



Spermonde Archipelago, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The investigation will go along with an assessment of important water quality parameters (NO3”, N02’, NrU+, PO43-, Chi a, DOC), benthic cover rates and coral disease prevalence. With this comprehensive data set we aim to shed new light on the responses of heterotrophic, and potentially pathogenic, bacterial communities to various anthropogenic influences. This will help to identify threats to local coral reef ecosystems as well as clarifying which influences will need to be addressed to facilitate coral reef ecosystem recovery and resilience.

Objectives

Overarching goals of the proposed project are to reveal the relative roles of different DOC sources in the growth stimulation of potentially pathogenic bacteria and to examine the in-situ effects of DOC on bacterial abundance along a cross-shelf eutrophication gradient Therefore, I will address the following key questions in the proposed dissertation:

• HowdoestheavailabilityofDOCfromdifferentsources(coral,algae,sewage)influencethe abundance of total bacteria, Vibrionaceae and Alteromonadaceae?

• Is there a correlation between DOC concentrations, bacterial abundance and basicindicators of coral reef health in-situ (e.g. disease prevalence)?

The overarching goals result in a set of hypotheses which will be addressed:

• DOC released by algae has the greatest potential to increase Vibrionaceae andAlteromonadaceae abundance.

• The abundance of themonitored bacteria, in thewater column and coralmucus,willincreasesignificantlywithanincreaseofDOCavailabilityin-situ.

By fulfilling the following objectives, the key questions and study hypotheses can be answered:

• Monitoring ofVibrionaceae, Alteromonadaceae in thewater column and coralmucus,as well as water quality parameters in-situ along the cross-shelf eutrophication gradient (fieldwork).

• Parallel monitoring of live coral cover, coral diversity, algae cover and coral diseaseprevalence(fieldwork).

• Small-scaleDOCmeasurementsandbacterialcountsat“hot-spots”ofalgaegrowth(fieldwork).

(D.35) Understanding Top-down and Bottom up rocesses that Lead to Functional Change in Indonesian Coral Reefs

Bidang Penelitian : Biologi Kelautan & Manajemen SDA

Abstract

Coral reefs are some of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet, but their future is threatened.Direct and indirect anthropogenic processes such as climate change, overexploitation, disease and changes in water quality are altering their natural biogeochemical environment (Hughes et al. 2003). Many human populations rely on the goods and services provided by coral reefs meaning that changes to these systems will have important impacts on coastal communities (McClanahan et al. 2009), therefore, lending importance to understanding how environmental processes affect reefs.

Coral reef community composition is affected by the generation and accumulation of organic and inorganic products where the accumulation of carbonate from photosynthesising, hermatypic, corals create essential habitat for other reef dwelling organisms. They compete with other primary producers for resources such as nutrients, light and space meaning the reef is highly affected by bottom-up processes where increased nutrients can stimulate plant growth and microbial activity leading to decreased oxygen availability or eutrophication (Kuntz et al. 2005, Kline et al. 2006). Furthermore, coral reef benthic communities are also controlled by top-down process such as vertebrate and invertebrate grazing and carbonate turnover (Hoey and Bellwood 2007, 2010). These two opposing processes, accumulation and removal, become unbalanced through anthropogenic and/or natural perturbations. Subsequently, this can result



in a change in habitat complexity and community composition and overall ecosystem function, potentially leading to less desirable, alternate ecological stable states (Bellwood et al. 2004, Norstrom et al. 2009). When ecosystem function is able to stay relatively consistent, it allows for a level of resilience within the community when perturbations do occur (Roff and Mumby 2012). Furthermore, reef function is intrinsically linked to the goods and services they provide to coastal communitiesand, therefore, understanding the underlying ecological processes can facilitate better resource management.

The relative importance of bottom-up and top-down processes have yet to be explored in Indonesia, a tropical archipelago state that relies on the resources provided by its coral reefs. Makassar is a coastal city of approximately 1.3 million people, on the relatively large island of Sulawesi. Off the western coast of the city lies the Spermonde archipelago which contains islands and reefs varying in distance of up to 70 kilometres from Makassar. These islands and reefs are exposed to varying levels of fishing pressures and nutrient exposure. The main source of the effluents comes from Makassar and previous studies have shown a gradient of increasing water quality as one moves away from the city (Edinger and Kolasa 2000, Sawall et al. 2011). Fishing pressure varies spatially where reefs closest to the city experience greatest pressure, but local populations on islands of the archipelago means that the same gradient as water quality does not exist, and individual islands can see increased fishing pressure despite relative distance to Makassar. Given the combination of a consistent change in water quality, but a semi haphazard fishing regime, this offers a unique opportunity to test the varying effects of these two variables, water quality and fishing pressure, in their influence on reef community composition, structure, and function.

Research Objectives:

The aim of this project is to examine and identify the role of various top-down and bottom-up processes that affect the function of reefs off the Spermonde archipelago to elucidate key components that can lead to alternative states of the reef. Further objectives include identifying key species or functional groups that may assist in the resilience of the reef to avoid ecological transition. Particular concern will be on species or groups that are both important for the health of the reef and as human resources because of the close relationship of the two.

Abstract

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease that is endemic throughout tropical and subtropical countries including Indonesia, and is caused by infection with dengue virus type 1-4. The recent distribution of the viruses in Indonesia has not been elucidated, and there would be a possibility of an appearance of highly pathogenic strains in the future. Thus, it is important to continuously conduct the surveillance of the viruses in Indonesia. In addition, HIV/AIDS is a blood-borne viral disease prevalent all over the world, and is mainly caused by HIV-1 infection. Rapidly growing epidemic of HIV-1 is a serious public health problem in Indonesia. In order to control the HIV-1 epidemic, it is important to reveal the current prevalence rate of HIV-1 in Indonesia. In addition, HIV-1 is a highly mutagenic pathogen. The mutation-driven evolution of HIV-1 potentially changes viral characteristics such as its pathogenicity and antigenicity, and may also affects the sensitivity of diagnostic methods for this virus; therefore, it is important to perform the genotyping of currently circulating viruses in Indonesia. Finally, co-existence of two or more blood-bourn pathogenic viruses may affect their pathogenicity. In order to reveal the co-infection of blood-bourn viruses, sero- and molecular epidemiology of such blood-borne viruses, HBV, HCV and GBV-C, is also important.

I would like to perform sero- and molecular epidemiology as well as basic studies which are required to reveal viral characteristics on these mosquito-borne and blood-borne viral diseases, in order to gain the information that are necessary for the control and prevention of these viral diseases in Indonesia.

Mitra Kerja : LBM Eijkman (Dr. Josephine Siregar)

Abstract

This project aims to establish standard protocols to use non-invasive fecal samples for detection and identification of macaque malarias [Plasmodium species) in collaboration with the Eijkman Institute of Molecular Biology. The project will benefit disease surveillance and human health by providing a non-invasive, relatively inexpensive technique to detect the presence of potential zoonotic pathogens.In order to validate this protocol, we propose to conduct preliminary work on captive macaques that are known Plasmodium positive. We plan to: 1) Determine the optimal method of collection and storage of fecal samples; 2) Determine sensitivity of detection; 3) Improve ability to survey for malaria.

Fecal matter has been used as a non-invasive technique to study hormones, genetics, disease and more in rare or hard to capture species. The relative ease of collecting feces and non-invasiveness makes it an ideal tool to use in the field, especially to collect samples from a large number of individuals.



With improvement in molecular techniques, fecal samples have been used in the detection and surveillance of many pathogens: from viruses to helminths (i.e. Keele et al. 2006). Several recent studies have successfully isolated and sequenced novel Plasmodium species from fecal samples of apes and Old World Monkeys in Central Africa (Prugnolle et al. 2010, Kaiser et al. 2010). We propose to utilize these successes as a template for developing standard protocols for macaques and the detection of their malaria parasites.

Malaria parasites (genus Plasmodium) infect a diversity of primates globally. Humans are hosts to four species of Plasmodium [P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, and P. ovale), which continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality globally. In Southeast Asia, a fifth species of malaria, P. knowlesi, has been found in humans, although the natural hosts are macaques. This zoonotic malaria (animal to human transmission) poses a novel threat to public health in the region but little is known about the prevalence and distribution of P. knowlesi in wild macaque populations. By developing a protocol to isolate and identify Plasmodium from non-invasive samples, we aim to improve our understanding of transmission dynamics and contribute crucial information for prevention and control strategies of this zoonosis.

Abstract

Homegardens are regarded as a sustainable agro-ecosystem located around a homestead for subsistence production and income generation, which is characterised by a rich biodiversity. Plant diversity is said to be the basis for homegarden productivity and sustainability, however, diversity is influenced by a combination of several agro-ecological and socio-economic factors, e.g. commercialisation and market access. In Central Sulawesi, plant diversity in homegardens has been studied in 2001 and 2004 in the same locations. The study confirmed the statement that homegardens harbour high plant diversity (204 useful plant species in 50 gardens). Plant diversity was positively influenced by garden size, but negatively by a cash-oriented production and if the gardener was a migrant. As the commercialisation of homegarden production further increased in the area (e.g. by introduction of cocoa growing in the gardens) it would be of interest to study the development of the same homegardens in a time series. The objective of the planned study is, therefore, to investigate the species diversity of useful plants in the same



gardens and to assess the factors responsible for changes. In addition, traditional knowledge of the gardeners on plants and their uses will be gathered for an ethno-botanical study.

The study will be performed in 5 villages of the Napu valley in Central Sulawesi, where the same 50 homegardens studied in 2001 and 2004 will be re-visited. Plant species inventories will be performed in each of the gardens and gardeners will be interviewed individually. In each of the households a separate categorising and ranking exercise on plant uses and importance will be carried out with male and female household members, using a modified ‘Pebble Distribution Method’. In addition to individual interviews, group discussions and participative observation will be used. Multiple regression analysis will be carried out to identify the factors influencing plant diversity.

Abstract

How the genomes of diversifying lineages evolve and adapt is a fundamental problem in evolutionary biology and conservation science. This is particularly important given current predictions of rapid climatic changes and in the case of sessile organisms such as plants, whose dispersion ability is often limited. Plants will be able to cope with climatic changes if they can disperse fast enough, have a wide distribution range which increases the probability that small pockets of individuals can persist in refuge areas, or if they can evolve adaptive solutions. Although adaptation often uses new mutations that appear in a population, it is tightly linked to the amount and distribution of existing genetic variation in metapopulations. The reason being, that high genetic variation should allow a wider range of phenotypes to coexist tliroughout the species range and thus, a higher chance that some of these phenotypes can be adaptive in new environments. Both adaptive and non-adaptive forces contribute to shape the distribution of genetic variation among populations/species, its levels and patterns along the genome. These forces act in many ways manipulating demography, connectivity and fitness of populations, and specific genomic signatures of these processes are often left behind. Here we intent apply newly developed next generation sequencing techniques to study genome wide signatures of adaptation in a non-model system, the genus Lithocarpus {Fagaceae) and understand its history and diversification patterns.

Abstrak

We propose to work with Kebun Raya Indonesia, Bogor (of LIPI), Herbarium Bogoriense (of LIPI), Burung Indonesia - Ternate (NGO), and Balai Taman Nasional Aketajawe-Lolobata to study the flloristic diversity of Halmahera. Our research objectives are to (1) build upon the knowledge of North Maluku biodiversity through collection of new herbarium specimens and data, (2) add to existing regional checklists of plants through a review of new and existing collections, and (3) support Indonesian research and conservation efforts integrating



ecological studies and in-situ and exsitu components. Herbarium specimen collections will only be made when appropriate Material Transfer Agreement and permits are in place with the aforementioned local counterpart(s), and in accordance with all LIPI policies. Any and all data, checklists, and publications arising from this research will be jointly developed and co-authored with Indonesian research counterparts.

With the recent establishment of Aketajawe-Lolobata National Park, there is an important opportunity to catalog the biodiversity of Halmahera. Our goal is to support and complement national and local Indonesian efforts already underway. We anticipate that the proposed project will create a timely synergy. For example, Kebun Raya Bogor is currently spearheading a national effort to implement regional botanic gardens and thus broaden the coverage of exsitu plant collections held in national botanic gardens; our project will directly support this effort by delivering new propagules and training opportunities to newly forming Indonesian botanic gardens and their local staff. Our research project will also complement Burung Indonesia - Ternate’s program to conserve the birds of Halmahera by enhancing studies of endemic bird - plant ecological interactions, and aid in identifying plant species important to sustaining rare bird populations. We will also build the collection of Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) via new herbarium specimens deposited at BO, and will work closely with taxonomists based at BO and Kebun Raya Bogor as a priority. The information and training shared with local park staff (Balai Taman Nasional of Aketajawe - Lolobata) as a result of this project will directly aid their work.

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden (FTBG), a non-profit public garden located in Miami, Florida, USA, was established in 1938. The garden was established in honor of Dr. David Fairchild (1869-1954), a famous plant explorer and author. Inspired by a conversation he had with Alfred Russel Wallace at an early age, Dr. Fairchild had a lifelong goal of studying the natural history of the Moluccas. Two years after the garden opened, when Dr. Fairchild was 71 years old, he finally had the opportunity to lead an expedition to the Moluccas to study the region’s plants, yet his trip was cut short due to the onset of World War II. Several years from now, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden will celebrate the 75th anniversary of this expedition, and looks forward to celebrating this milestone through renewed research with Indonesian collaborators.

Abstract

The Indonesian archipelago contains tree communities of outstanding biodiversity and endemism, and represents the most dynamic and potentially informative biogeographic experiment on earth. Forest trees also form the basis of the vital Indonesian timber industry. At the same time, much of the information there is about tree species is not available to most Indonesian and global researchers, and there is a great need for capacity building in Indonesian biodiversity informatics.

In 2010, a joint team of US and Indonesian researchers received funding from the US National Science Foundation for a three-year study of the biogeographic assembly of tree communities across the archipelago, with development of associated biodiversity informatics resources in Indonesia, and this Indonesian research permit proposal is for Year 2 activities outlined in the attached NSF document, plus three other related research goals at Gunung Palung National Park, West Kalimantan.

Webb and Indonesian collaborators propose to collect ecological data and plant specimens at Taman Nasional Manusela (Maluku Tengah) and Taman Nasional Bo-gani Nani Wartabone (Bolaang Mongondow, Sulawesi Utara), process the collections for DNA sequences, and develop cutting-edge biodiversity informatics tools, from February 2012-January 2013. Extensive training will be given to both field and informatics participants. This research continues and builds upon work conducted in 2009-2011 at Gunung Palung National Park, in which over 1,200 fertile specimens were collected, over 700 taxa were DNA sequenced, and data were made widely available (see http://xmalesia.info/). Both collecting activities and sequencing activities will be governed by a pre-existing Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) and Intellectual Property Rights Agreement between PPB-LIPI and the Arnold Arboretum.



Deliverables will thus include: i) collections of fertile material where encountered, ii) comprehensive collections of DNA sequences for five focal clades and, for all trees in 12 forest inventory plots, at least two markers, iii) an online, open, cutting-edge biodiversity informatics database (developed with Indonesian technicians), that integrates ecological, biogeographic, and systematics data (including identification keys), eventually for all plants in the five islands to be visited, iv) Training will be given to local- and national-level technicians and scientists.

(E.7) Nomenclature of Amomum species (Zingiberaceae) in Java

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan studi nomenklatur pada empat spesies Amomum Jawa


Lama Penelitian : 1 (satu) bulan mulai 15 Mei 2012

Abstract

The Zingiberaceae of Java were last revised in 1968 and need to be monitored to ensure their long-term survival. Some species of Amomum in Java may be confused with species in other nearby countries. Good herbarium collections with flowers, fruits and leaf samples for DNA analysis are needed to resolve these taxonomic questions. This project proposes to target four Javanese species of Amomum in order to typify all names and decide what names should be accepted.



Indonesia has more species of plants and animals than almost any other country and is particularly rich in wild gingers of the family Zingiberaceae. The last revision of the whole family Zingiberaceae was published in 1904 and a new revision is urgently needed. In working towards a new revision, we need to form a clear idea of the identity and status of each species and this often means trying to make new collections in or near the original collecting localities, especially of species which were described a long time ago. Amomum is one of the largest genera of Zingiberaceae with at least 150 species, the majority of them in Indonesia and is the focus of this proposal.

The Zingiberaceae of Java were last revised by Backer and Bakhuizen van den Brink Jr in 1968 in the Flora of Java. Among the species of Amomum which were recognised in that revision were four which had originally been published between 1810-1827.

a) Amomum aculeatum Roxb. (Published 1810. Type unknown. Roxburgh’s illustration based on material grown at Calcutta, originally from an unknown locality in the Malay Archipelago, perhaps Sumatra)

b) Amomum compactum Sol. ex Maton (Published 1811. Type at BM. New collections with flowers and fruits are needed.)

c) Amomum gracile Blume (Published 1827. Type is a sterile specimen. New collections with flowers and fruits are needed.)

d) Amomum maximum Roxb. (Published 1810. Type unknown. Roxburgh’s illustration based on material grown at Calcutta, originally from an unknown locality in India.)

It has been difficult to find type material which was seen by the original authors of these names. In some cases, no type can be found and in other cases, the type is incomplete and lacks crucial information. Without a type specimen for a name, it may not be possible to decide whether the species is the same as another in a nearby country or not. This can lead to species being known by alternative names in different countries. For example, Amomum gracile Blume of Java looks very similar to Amomum longiligulare T.L.Wu of China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam and Amomum compactum Sol. ex Maton of Java looks very like Amomum varum Blackw. of Cambodia. We need to have good, modern collections of the Javanese species of Amomum in order to establish the limits of species and their distributions in Java and beyond.

Objectives:

• To collect herbarium specimens from the forests of Java, concentrating on the genusAmomum, but also making collections of other Zingibcraceae, Begoniaceae, Gesneriaceac and Sapotaceae, if found.



• TocarryoutcollaborativeresearchusingthismaterialwithstaffatHerbariumBogoricnseand Kebun Raya Bogor. The research will take the form of classical herbarium revisions and molecular phylogenetic work.

• Toproduceco-authoredpublicationswithIndonesianresearchersonthetaxonomyoftheZingibcraceae of Indonesia.

Abstract

Since 1982, we have many cooperative studies of plant ecology in Indonesia: Krakatau, Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan. We made nearly 100 plots and their total area was 40ha. In these 30 years, the environment of Indonesia has changed drastically. Some of our study sites are still in good condition, some are changed a little, others aredestroyed. The comparison of the plots between the original and today conditions will give us useful information to know the change of forest, and will give some suggestion for the further management of the natural resources in Indonesia.

Purpose of Research:To protect biodiversity of tropical forests, we need to know the history of the forests. We made many plots in Kalimantan and Java in these 30 years. The measurement of these plots will give us some useful information. The purpose of our research is to detect the forest and biodiversity change from measurements of old plots.

(F.1) The influence of fruit scarcity on the ecology of nonhuman primates in East Kalimantan

Abstract

The influence of resource seasonality on the behavioral ecology of nonhuman primates has been extensively studied. However, variation in resource distribution and abundance also extends beyond intra-annual seasonal fluctuations. Such supra-annual variation is characteristic of Southeast Asian forests, which exhibit irregular “masting” cycles in which highly synchronized periods of fruiting are interspersed with extended periods of little or no fruit production. The term scarcity can be used to refer to such prolonged, supra-annual periods of resource shortage. Although scarcity has most likely played an important role in shaping the biology and behavior of many primate species, it has not been studied extensively. Resource-scarce habitats should select for behavioral flexibility, which is likely to be highly adaptive in variable conditions. Nonhuman primates exhibit great potential for behavioral flexibility in response to different environmental conditions, but few comparative studies have been conducted with wild primates. Thus, the influence of resource scarcity on the ecology of primate species, and the capacity of nonhuman primates for behavioral flexibility, remain poorly understood.

This project will examine how fruit-eating primates adjust their ecological strategies to cope with the scarcity of their preferred food. Specifically, we will examine the 1) feeding



ecology and 2) anti-predator behaviors of three primate species in.the Wehea Protected Forest in East Kalimantan: orangutans (Pongopygmaeus), Bornean gibbons {Hylobates muelleri), and red langurs (Presbytis rubicunda). We will spend at least five to seven days each month for six months collecting data on the dietary composition, ranging behavior, population density, and anti-predator behaviors of one group of each of these species. We will also collect samples of all plant foods consumed by these primates to characterize the nutritional content of their diets. The forests of Borneo, particularly East Kalimantan, exhibit exceptionally low fruit availability and provide an excellent environment in which to study responses to scarcity. These same species have been studied elsewhere in Borneo, providing a basis for comparison between fruit-scarce and more fruit-abundant conditions. This project will take place from June 2011-January 2012.

The significance of this proposal is that it uses a within-site and inter-specific comparative approach to examine the range of responses of different sympatric primate species to scarcity. This will allow us to better understand how behavioral flexibility is promoted or constrained, and its role in shaping responses to the environment. A broader impact of this study is that examining responses to varying habitat conditions can provide crucial insight into how nonhuman primates might adapt to antliropogenic habitat alteration, which is crucial for designing effective management plans. Finally, this study will also provide much-needed information about Asian primate communities, which have been understudied relative to primate communities elsewhere.

Dr. Stephanie Spehar is the primary investigator on this project, but Mr. Justin D’Agostino and Mr. Eric Fell will also be participating in this project and collecting data. All participants will be working on the same research project, which is why we are applying for our research permits jointly. This study is being conducted in collaboration with Dr. Yaya Rayadin of the Tropical Forest Research Center and Forestry Department at Mulawarman University in Samarinda. Dr. Rayadin and his students will be directly involved in conducting this research, and is also acting as our Indonesian sponsor and providing logistical support and assistance for our research.

Abstract

The province of Kalimantan Tengah is on the forefront of global climate change mitigation and anti-deforestation policy and is the foremost test case for what Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) projects, aimed at slowing deforestation as a means of mitigating the threat of climate change, will likely look like in the future. The proposed research is a portion of the Global Comparative Study on REDD+ currently being undertaken by the Center for International Forestry Research, headquartered in Bogor, Indonesia, which will utilize in-depth interviews and survey analysis to study the formation of a policy network working to formulate and implement REDD+ policy in Kalimantan Tengah. Social network analysis techniques will be used to investigate patterns of cooperation, debate, and communication among a variety of public and private organizations working to develop effective REDD+ policy in the province. This work will supplement national-scale research on REDD+ policy networks and support effective, efficient, and equitable second-generation policymaking on REDD+.

Abstract

Current research on global environmental change, biodiversity conservation, and local development makes reference to the concept of ecosystem services (ES). In Indonesia, tropical forests are recognized and valued for timber production and carbon sequestration, rather than other services. A better understanding of the synergies between different ES is needed for supporting conservation policies and REDD initiatives (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation). The objective of this research proposal is to analyze different ES and their synergies, by defining and validating indicators for the production of ES by different ecosystem types. Modeling ES flows produced by ecosystems and benefiting local societies will allow proposing conservation or restoration priorities for each ES depending on their role for the society and their likelihood of being degraded under global environmental changes.

Abstract

Gain insight in the way in which the Sungai Wain forest, despite strong external and internal pressures, is protected, maintained and restored. Analysis of contributing actors and their roles in the forest protection which can be transformed into lessons learned, to be applied at a wider scale in Indonesia and beyond.

• Whenactorsareabletoprotectandmaintainthisforestareatheyseemtohavereachedaquality decision based both on general principles and operational decisions.

Conserving tropical forests need a sustainable stewardship of natural resources. In the recent decades a general trend is found to manage forests on a landscape scale and implement sustainable forest management. These trends give a broader and more integrated look on forests considering both social and environmental perspectives. The demand for forest and trees is taken into account in broader multifunctional landscapes. Forest are seen increasingly as valuable component of landscapes. This general trend is almost occurring all over the world (Sayer & Maginnis, 2005). Large continuous forest areas increasingly have turned into mosaic landscapes, in which forests only form part of the land cover, intertwined with other forms of land use (commercial plantations, agriculture, urban constructions (Rietbergen-McCracken et al, 2007). Looking at a larger spatial scale is done since there is a recognition that a combination of the landscape mosaics is greater than the sum of the parts (Lafortezza et al, 2008). Management that is sustainable at a local scale can have a negative impact on neighbouring areas, it is therefore unsustainable at a larger scale. Sustainability at landscape level is integrating natural resources with sustainable management both to meet production goals and goals of the broader community. The landscape approach is beneficial for forests since it can deal with issues important on the international agenda, such as climate change, conserving forest values in decentralized forest management, problems of illegal activities and crime, and managing forest resources sustainable to reduce poverty (Sayer & Maginnis, 2005). Landscapes can provide a spatial setting for a multi-stakeholder dialogue in and over administrative boundaries (Rietbergen-McCracken et al, 2007).

To acquire a complete understanding on the decision making process and planning of Sungai Wain two theoretical approaches are exercised, the landscape approach and policy arrangement approach (PAA).

Abstract

Interdisciplinary and international research projects require a broad range of tasks to maximize cooperation and to optimize administration. To facilitate synergies, interdisciplinary research requires a very significant level of coordination and administration. International research always involves additional challenges associated with intercultural communication. The projects involve cooperation between researchers from several faculties of the University of Gottingen, the Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) and Tadulako University (UNTAD) in Palu (on Sulawesi), as well as the Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI, Bogor, Cibinong and Jakarta, Java). In addition, there is informal partnership with the Southeast Asian Regional Centre for Tropical



Biology SEAMEO-BIOTROP. In addition to scientific partnerships, an important role is played by the interaction with authorities at local, regional and national level. These range from national governmental administrative bodies that facilitate and enable research of German scientists in Indonesia (e.g., research permit procedures) to regional immigration offices and local traditional villagerepresentatives. For communication to be upheld and facilitated across divides of culture - both in national and organisational terms - and language, the flow of information needs to be appropriately bundled. The project management unit (PMU) tackling these essential issues for the success of the proposed research activities.

The research activities take place in Central Sulawesi in the vicinity of the Lore Lindu Park. Most of the research activities are outside of the National Park. However, the project keeps close contact to National Park authorities. The research infrastructure and networks to stakeholders and local authorities has been established already in cooperation with the Tadulako University, Palu, during previous research activities under the umbrella of STORMA. The CTFM office at the Tadulako University Palu manages the former research infrastructure of STORMA, like the vehicle park, the laboratory unit, the climate network and small scientific equipment as well as the office and student work places. Researchers are provided with a workplace equipped with PC. The CTFM office runs a house in the village of Toro for researchers staying overnight and a shelter at the rainforest site of the Sulawesi Throughfall Displacement Experiment

Abstract

The iREDD project aimed at finding the highest potential for reducing the uncertainty or the cost ofcurrently available methods of carbon assessment. The most common land use transitions of the studysites were identified at one site (Batu Majang, Kutai Barta, East Kalimantan) and sample plots wereestablished along this transition, including forests, rubcollected data will be used to develop a model of how the common land use transitions affect thecarbon dynamics of soil and vegetation. New cost efficient methods, such as infrared spectroscopy forassessment of soil carbon content, were tested. All fieldwork were carried out with local partners whileat the same time training the local staff in methods of soil sampling, assessment of abovegroundbiomass and measurements of GHG fluxes. Currently there isdeveloping field of research in Indonesia. The results will be used for calibration of remotemonitoring approaches and will provide inputs for the communitysame area. The data will also be important for the design of the MRV system in Indonesia for providing amore solid base for calculating the REDD+ payments.

Abstract

Effective wildlife and nature conservation requires balancing human development with the impacts on wildlife populations and their habitats. However, to effectively manage this balance, one needs to understand the ecological, economic and social factors that are influencing the survival of a species. This ten month study, beginning in March 2012, aims to help conservation planners develop more effective policies for biodiversity conservation and link biological conservation objectives with local development objectives. Research will focus on how to best protect two endangered animals from East Kalimantan Indonesia, the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) and Miller’s Grizzled Langur (Presbytis hosei canicrus). Ecological research will focus on the ecosystem dynamics of tropical forests. Emphasis will be placed on the study of tropical ecosystems from a structural view of populations, population distribution and movement of animals across landscapes. Research will investigate movements of clouded leopards across forest landscapes using a network of at least 40 camera traps and 1 GPS tracking device in the Wehea and Lesan Forests. Spatial-capture recapture analysis will allow for clouded leopard densities to be calculated. Additional behavioral and ecological research on the extremely rare P.h. canicrus will shed light on one of the rarest and least known primates in Kalimantan. Direct observations at mineral springs in Wehea Forest will yield data on the presence of P.h. canicrus, behavior, troop size and composition. However, to protect a species, conservation scientists must not only understand the ecological requirements of a species, they must also understand the social dimensions at play. These social dimensions include the threats to a species, economics of protecting a species and institutions that lead to successful resourcemanagement. A growing body of scholarship on common-pool-resource governance has shown that a tragedy of 22the commons may be averted through the self-organizatiorvof natural resource users. However, community-based conservation as a panacea, like government-based conservation as a panacea, ignores the necessity of managing commons at multiple levels. To investigate the social dimensions of protecting the clouded leopard, surveys will be conducted in a number of villages along the Wahau, Kelay and Segah rivers. Interviews will be conducted with the Kepala adat and other leaders in each community to better understand the history of the community, relationship to local resources, cultural significance of the clouded leopard, and thelocal institutions that are in place to protect the forests around the community. In addition, variables that lead to sustainable use of resources



will be explored through interviews with various stakeholders including government officials, NGO’s, management bodies and local.

Abstract

This internship is offered in the program COLUPSIA working on the development of planning rules related to ecosystem services of forests in Indonesia. The main objective is to map the forest ecosystem of Seram Island (Moluccas, Indonesia), using remote sensing tools for planning rules.

For mapping, we will use three sensors at different spatial resolution: opitcal sensor (MODIS and SPOT) and Radar (ALOS) combined with field work. We will experiment two types of classification, object-oriented and supervised and attempt to extrapolate the results to the whole Seram Island.

The underlying assumption is that it is necessary to use multi-sensor analysis to map finely the surface states in the development of forest areas. To what extent this approach can be standardized and be repeated on other areas of studies of this type in the Moluccas

Abstract

Tropical forests and other vegetation types provide various ecosystem services. The implementation of a system called ‘Payments for Ecosystem Services’ (PES) is proposed to conserve nature with its valuable services. In order to discuss ecosystem services in the Moluccas, Indonesia, ecological data in various vegetation types need to be identified. In this research, a typology will be developed for various secondary vegetation types in Seram, Central Moluccas, using floristics and structural data. For each vegetation type, a vegetation description will be made and the most dominant & abundant species and biomass & related carbon values will be calculated. This information serves as baseline data for future discussions about PES in this area.

Abstract

Actually, the worldwide environmental degradation and forest loss are increasing rapidly, leading to an immediate impact on local level in tropical countries, such as Indonesia. The loss of biodiversity and ecological services provided by tropical rainforests are especially important for local rural populations that rely on natural resources for their livelihood. The aim of my research is study the local perceptions of landscape, habitat and species values near the Manusela National Park, on the center of Seram Island. My research will be carried out on one of the study site of the COLUPSIA project supported by CIRAD - CIFOR. Through this study, we should learn more about what is of importance to the local community, the historical uses of the areas and the local peoples’ uses of plants, soils and landscape. The information and data that I will collect and compile should be used as a ground for the formulation of new policies for sustainable natural management that will benefit both the environment and the local communities. Firstly, the local perception and classification of diverse aspects of the natural environment of the field site will be recorded including types of vegetation, soil types, and traditional land use practices. The data and informations collect will be based on participatory mapping, interviews with local key informants. Secondly, local knowledge about plants use will be collected for each type of vegetation or type of agroecosystem identified. The present proposal will contribute at facilitating integration of socio-ecological into larger landscape planning and biodiversity conservation.

Tujuan Penelitian : Memfasilitasi integrasi antara jasa ekosistem dan data sosial ke dalam perencanaan lanskap dan konservasi keanekaragaman




Mitra Kerja : Valentinus Heri - Riak Bumi Foundation

Abstract

The research conducted is a vegetation and ecosystem study in Kapuas Hulu, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The objective is to refine existing knowledge about the biophysical basis of ecosystem flows for informing conservation decision making through ecosystem services mapping, and to enable a better understanding of community perceptions on the environment.

This is done within the scope of the Collaborative Land Use Planning and Land Tenure project (CIRAD CIFOR, which focuses on better understanding of the relationship between land use planning and the provision of ecosystem services (ES). Mapping of regional land use, land cover and watersheds guides the decision process on desirable land uses in the district of Kapuas Hulu. The combination of biophysical, social-ecological and economic surveys performed by the CoLUPSIA project will provide information on the baseline and historical context of the forested area and its surroundings. It will also be an opportunity for cross-fertilization between communities’ knowledge and the more technical data collection and analysis performed by the scientists.

One aspect of this internship is therefore to collect information about the traditional resource management systems, community perceptions of trends and priority issues in



resource management, biodiversity and conservation in an around the forest. Furthermore, the student will elaborate a vegetation and ecosystem service typology. This study will contribute at facilitating integration of ecosystem services and social data into larger landscape planning and biodiversity conservation. The activities are particularly centred around villages and specific forest landscape types occurring in a region covered by a mosaic of Dipterocarp and “Kerangas” forests that have not yet been described for that part of Borneo Island. The data will be used to ensure that the future planning design and collaborative management process is based on a good understanding of the local system.

Abstract

The global warming issue is at the present period one of the problems for solution in the immediacy. The approach of the carbon-dioxide emissions reduction on the world scale is done, and it is a decrease in tropical forests to attract attention as a cause of the global warming issue now.The mangrove is a generic name of the halophyte colony that grows at the tidal zone from the tropics to the subtropics. That has immediate use for the fuel, wood, and the tannin use, etc. and a bigger effect has been demonstrated indirectly with about prevention of the coast part erosion and meteorological disasters, the marine resources training, and the biodiversity conservation etc. (FAO 2007).

In Southeast Asian countries, there have been rapidly developed in mangrove forests during recent decades. The main cause of it is increasing demand for mangrove forest and non-forest products in developed countries, and the development of the coastal area for settlements, industry or agriculture.etc. Indonesia has largest mangrove forest, but in there about 1.3 million ha (31%) have declined too, during 25 years from 1980 to 2005. Approximately 25% of disappeared mangrove, that causeis the conversionof coastal land use (FAO 2007).In the considerablyadvanced stage ofdevelopment, however, marine resourcesare in stateofopen access (Akimichi 1998).The use of marine resources including mangrove are becoming more predatory by the entry of companies.

However, now the development as the industrial site, the conversion to agricultural land and the salt farm, and the creation of shrimp and fish’s cultivation ponds, etc. expanded by the modern mechanism of physical distribution and the overseas capital, etc. Those factors



probably became key factors that destroy mangrove forests and the ecosystem. The interview investigation has been done in villages on the Batam Island so far. Moreover, around each village, every tree was investigated in the mangrove forest. As a result, the trade and intrusion of the enterprise, etc. in the littoral region are thought to be a greatly related with the mangrove swamp ecosystem use and the current state of maintenance. So I have to observe change of mangrove use widely and do fixed point observation in small scale region. Because it will be thought there is a necessity for clarifying the influence that the globalization gives to the mangrove ecosystem deeper, and comparing each contribution factor.

Research objective:

Batam Island where located in the Strait of Malacca, has been developed as an industrial island because there are closed from Singapore. In the island many industrial parks constructed by multinational-corporation are there and the island also has a role of hub port for Singapore. There are the lows that prohibit mangrove deforestation, but still now making charcoal from mangrove have been done in the south of Batam Island. Especially in this decade, the numbers of people who start to do that work at the public space in each village have increased. This return to traditional direct use is thought one of the features of Batam Island. This study’s aim is to reveal social background and influence of this present condition. And then, it will be explained the relationship between Mangrove conditions and that.

Abstract

The practice of agroforestry and its related concepts are becoming one of the best alternative to intensive agriculture. In the tropics, this biodiversity-friendly agricultural technique has already been practiced for generations by millions of people, but is loosing weight against intensive agriculture. The last is responsible for the destruction of the natural ecosystems and is damaging for the local populations. This last years, much research have been conducted in Indonesia for forest conservation. It sounds as a reaction from the government to the massive destruction of their forest cover due intensive agricultural development in the country. REDD+ programs have been developed there, and are currently being tested at large scale. These recent biodiversity conservation techniques are known as the method of payment for ecosystem services (PES). In parallel, other research looks towards certification schemes for forest conservation which present an interesting alternative to PES schemes, very criticized at some points. We will start here the development of a certification scheme for agroforestry practice. The goal is to create a multi-functional system that conciliate biodiversity conservation (and therefore its benefits, like ecosystem services), production and development at a landscape level. The approach would allow to include factors like local development, ethic values and biodiversity-friendly agricultural practices in a certification scheme, with a possible application of labelling. The study will start with a bibliography review and will continue with work on agroforestry systems in Indonesia lands. This will allow to have data to defend the ideas presented before. In a Master 2 context, the study will end with the writing of a report, for the validation of the diploma.

Abstract

Research Objectives

The research aimed at collecting data on the effect of management practices on cacao pollination and pod set. The major objective was to conduct an experiment linking insecticide treatment and cacao pod set (and thereby indirectly pollination).

The main focus is on the development of the main pollinator of Cacao, small midges or “no-see-ums” of the Ceratopogonidae family, under different treatments. Additionally, the development of C. cramerella, P. palmivora and Helopeltis theobromae, the most severe pests in Sulawesian Cacao plantations, are monitored indirectly by evaluating the fruits on the trees in the plots.

Hypotheses

a) The following hypotheses have been tested:

b) The pollination of cacao is negatively impacted by the application of insecticides.

c) The application of insecticides may lead to a decrease of cacao yields, due to a loss of ecosystem services, in particular pollination.

d) The pollination of cacao may be measured indirectly by measuring the amount of pod sets per plant.

e) The abundance of cacao pollinators is affected by the distance to the primary forest. (E) The population dynamics of the main pollinator of cacao can be observed by the installation of insect traps.

Research Area

The research area is located in the Toro village, district of Kulawi, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. From further studies we know, that the Kulawi valley receives an annual precipitation of 1916 mm. Soils at these sites are comparable, relatively rich in nutrients and have developed from colluvia. The climate is tropical throughout the whole year. The Toro village is located at an altitude of ca. 700 to 800 m asl. The center of the valley bottom in Toro is mostly used by settlements, surrounded by rice fields, which is in terms of area the biggest land-use form in Toro, followed by Cacao plantations. Most of the Cacao plantations are located at the slopes of the valley. Though, some of the Cacao plantations are located directly in the rice fields or in the nearby forests of the Lore Lindu National Park (e.g. in Pono, a small settlement close to Toro or as seen in mostly allplantations in Bulu Kuku), which surrounds the whole settlement area.



The village is highlyattractive for transmigration, as a matter of formerly still available land and as proved bythe observation of citizens from the Batavi, Bugis, Kailih, Kulawi, Napu, Manado, Rampiand Toraja ethnics. From JUHRBANDT (2010) and STEFFAN-DEWENTER et al. (2007) weknow that farming Cacao is one of the most important income sources for the populationof Toro. An increase of new Cacao plantations in the area during the last 10 years couldbe observed.

Reasoning research site selection and research methods

Concerning the above displayed climatic and geological factors, Toro is a very suitablesite for research on Cacao plantations. Except the absolute height of the village, thereseems to be everything available which would be necessary for vital and productiveCacao trees.

As the above mentioned pests are of major concern in the Toro valley, the documentationof the development of P. palmivora and C. cramerella under different managementstrategies was included in the research protocol, in order to test the actual effects of Chloromite 400, the mostly used insecticide in the research region, on the mostconcerning pests. Though P. palmivora is not treatable with insecticides, the spread ofthese fungi may increase by the harming of insects as C. cramerella and H. theobromae.

As shown above, not just pest development, but pollination as well is an important drivingfactor. So we had to monitor the population dynamics of the Ceratopogonidae family, inorder to find out whether the pollinator may be negatively affected by the application ofinsecticides or not. So that could mean a decrease of pests on one side, but a decrease ofthe pollination rate on the other side. Yellow pan traps have been used, because theywere tested and recommended for Ceratopogonidae in the method paper fromFRIMPONG et al. (2011).

As shade is an important driving factor of Cacao fitness and yields, I decided to record theshadow conditions in relation to the conditions in open land and to exaggerate the canopydevelopment in the plots every month. Additionally we recorded position, height andcanopy diameter of all shade trees, in order to compare them with the yields in affectedplots. Concerning plot selection, I made sure to choose plantations which are more or lessequally shaded in order to equalize the effects of shade to Cacao yield and pest pressure.

Abstract

Rain-fed ombrotrophic peatlands in the tropics are formed from semi-decomposed organic plant matter, mainly debris from wet environment adapted rain forest trees. Reducing the frequency of water logging of the surface peat by drainage, especially during permanent drainage in land use change, removes the precondition for peat carbon preservation, as aerobic degradation of the recently deposited and recalcitrant organic matter in the surface peat is enhanced. There has been increased interest to restore and rewct degraded tropical peatlands because of cost efficiency created from saving globally significant carbon deposits in the system and potential of economic returns created from vegetation grown on it. Little is known about the consequences of re-wetting and vegetation regrowth on carbon and nitrogen cycle in degraded tropical peat systems. Rewetting and reforestation can be expected to change peat carbon store dynamics because many of the original characteristics (e.g. hydrology, bulk density, chemical composition of carbon substrates) have changed during progressing degradation. The RETROPEAT project focuses on changes in carbon and nitrogen dynamics that take place in the process or rewetting and reforestation in tropical peat.

Several focused experimental approaches will be applied. Our research objectives can be divided into four categories; (i) species and environmental condition impacts on seedling growth success, (ii) peat greenhouse gas dynamics (CO2, CH4 and N20), (iii) peat matter changes, and



(iv) role of influential abiotic and biotic controls on carbon and nitrogen dynamics in undrained and restored peat. The research site is located at northern part of the Sabangau catchment in Central Kalimantan, West from the Sabangau River is undrained peat swamp forest area and East from the river is located the North-western corner of the drained Ex-MRP area. Research results based on this funding will be publicly available in high rank peer reviewed papers. The ultimate goal of the project is to provide scientific information and decision making tools for interest groups working on sustainable use of natural resources and on tasks aiming to lower GHG emissions.

Project funding is from Academy of Finland and effective duration from 1.1.2012 to 31.8.2015.

Abstract

The Orangutan Tropical Peatland Project (OuTrop) is a UK-based research group affiliated to the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU), University of Oxford; Department of Geography, University of Leicester; and College of Life and Environmental Science, University of Exeter. Together with scientists from CIMTROP (Centre for International Cooperation in Sustainable Management of Tropical Peatlands), at the University of Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, we conduct research and provide opportunities for development of Indonesian scientists.

Our long-term multi-disciplinary research project aims to provide data to support and enhance locally-led conservation efforts in High Conservation Value Forests in Kalimantan, Indonesia. This will be achieved through studies designed to (i) improve our knowledge of the natural ecology of these forests and resident species’ behaviour; and (ii) elucidate the impacts



of human activities on this, including both anthropogenic threats to the ecosystem and forest management activities. These studies will build upon data collected in Kalimantan by OuTrop and CIMTROP team members over the last ten years, enabling us to maintain and extend our existing data sets, and collect new data sets, to continue our analyses of ecosystem change in these important forests and provide information to support conservation policy decisions.

To achieve this, our three-year research programme will incorporate studies on floral and faunal biodiversity and ecological interactions, including trees, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates; forest structure and dynamics; flagship conservation species, including orang-utans, gibbons, red langurs and use of camera traps to survey cats; communities; ecosystem services; threats to the forest and conservation measures to counter these threats; and trials of the effectiveness of forest regeneration and reforestation techniques.

This research will be conducted primarily in the relatively undisturbed Natural Laboratory for Peat-swamp Forest (NLPSF) and highly-disturbed peat swamps of the Kalampangan Research Station, both in Sabangau, with additional data collected to support these objectives in other High Conservation Value forests in Kalimantan. Using these data from both disturbed and relatively undisturbed forests, we will test hypotheses regarding the influence of anthropogenic threats on forest ecology and biodiversity, providing important insights for conservation managers. Our long-term data collection in the core NLPSF research site is essential for providing baselineinformation on natural processes and variation in the ecosystem, which is necessary for interpreting differences between this and more disturbed areas of forest.

This programme will also bring a number of additional important benefits to Indonesia, including improving the knowledge base and building capacity, through collaborations with Indonesian scientists; training of local post-graduates, students and local community members; providing alternative sustainable economic opportunities in Kalimantan, particularly through employing local research assistants; and promoting and sourcing funds to support the conservation activities led by CIMTROP.

We will produce a series of interim reports on our progress as required by RISTEK and other Indonesian authorities and to feed into the conservation management of the Sabangau Forest and our other study areas, plus a final report on the state of the Sabangau Forest and some specific management recommendations to be submitted to relevant parties in Indonesia within 3 months of the end of the research project.

Abstract

Tropical ecosystems provide innumerable benefits at multiple scales, from timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) to support local livelihoods, to their role in global biodiversity conservation. However, growing populations, expanding agriculture and impacts of climate change are increasing the pressure on ecosystem services and the communities dependent upon them. Subsequently poverty and consumer demand is forcing the overexploitation of natural resources. Deforestation is responsible for an estimated 20% global carbon emissions in addition to unknown impacts on the provision of water for both agriculture and human consumption (Trivedi et al 2009). Consequently, the protection of ecosystem services in developing countries has been identified as a “global social objective” (Ferraro 2002: 990).

Recent developments in conservation initiatives seek to combine both biodiversity protection and sustainable development through incentive-based mechanisms such as payments for ecosystem services (PES). Based on an ecosystem services approach, PES has been seen by some to be a “win-win” situation; simultaneously tackling climate change, biodiversity loss and poverty (Kosoy et al 2007). PES uses economic incentives to influence behaviours and natural resource use patterns, while also benefiting local communities through capital development (McShane et al 2010). PES therefore aims to integrate the short-term immediacy of conservation goals with the long-term slow pace of economic and social change of development objectives to (Ferraro 2001). Furthermore, influencing natural resource-use decisions of individuals via economic incentives may also serve as a redistributive mechanism between different social groups and ecosystem users (Kumar and Muradian 2008, Barrett and Arcesese 1998, Adams and Hulme 2001).

The potential of PES schemes to mobilise financial resources for conservation while also achieve development goals has generated strong interest in its application (Tacconi et al 2011). Indeed, PES schemes developed under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for a mechanism for Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD), are gaining momentum. Mitigating carbon emissions through avoided deforestation schemes is being viewed as an important, cost-effective component of climate change (Klein et al 2005); providing an opportunity to utilise emerging carbon markets to integrate these goals with biodiversity conservation and community development.

Opportunities to combine climate change, conservation and development goals appear idyllic. However, lack of evidence on the possible socio-economic implications of PES for communities who live in, and depend upon the ecosystems management by the initiative have



raised concerns (Peskett et al 2006). Recent literature has raised many questions regarding the trade-offs and synergies between the conservation and development goals of PES and the many assumptions on which it is based. In particular, PES’ effectiveness, equity of marginalised poor participation, and long-term resilience for the forest-dependent communities involved have been questioned (Kosoy and Corbera 2010). Indeed, Petheram and Campbell (2010) suggest that there is a lack of empirical research on local people’s perceptions of PES and their potential roles as service providers. For example, what are the general factors influencing the livelihood of people adopting to and adhering to PES scheme? This raises questions as to how environmental values can be captured and thus enhanced and maintained through PES active management.

This research aims to understand the interaction between natural resource use and ecosystems themselves within the context of theories of tropical forest decline. Drawing on theories of ecosystem value and maximising utility for resource-use decisions (Espinosa 2008) to identify how this can contribute to greater equity in the design and implementation of incentive-based conservation schemes such as PES. In addition, this research aims to understand how the implementation of PES schemes impacts trade offs between livelihoods and ecosystems, and how this can inform discourse to reduce environmental and social vulnerability, and build resilience to factors such as demographic, political and climatic change.

Abstract

This research project will take place from June to December 2012 in the district of Kapuas Hulu (West Kalimantan). It is part of the CoLUPSlA Project (“Collaborative land use planning and sustainable institutional arrangement for strengthening land tenure, forest and community rights in Indonesia”), managed by the CIFOR.

This project aims to understand sociological, ecological and political factors that are responsible for the land use changes, and particularly the conversion of forests and agroforests in oil palm plantations, by the building of a model showing the interactions between actors and their environment.

This research project will consist in three phases of work: a literature review, a first fieldwork constituted by interviews leading to the realization of a conceptual model, and a second fieldwork constituted by role playing games workshops and by the constant improvement of the model.

Abstract

Deforestation is continuingall over the world.Southeast Asia has gone through a large decline in forest areain the last ten years, with an annual net loss of forests of more than 0.9 million hectares. Particularly in Indonesia, where there is mega biodiversity with extensive forest area, However, tropical forests have been decreasing with the second highest deforestation ratio following Brazil.

The establishment of protected areas is one of the effective methods for conserving forests and biodiversity. In Indonesia, a national park has been one of the most important measures for nature conservation (Soekmadi, 2002). Designation of national parks and other categories of protected areas have been accelerated in recent years, and around 50 national parks have been established by 2006.

However, simple establishment of national parks alone may not be sufficiently effective. In Indonesia, it is common that there are various ‘illegal’ activities, either subsistence or commercial, by local people nearby the established parks. With the recognition that simple exclusion of such people would be neither possible nor effective, several buffer zone programs have been promoted, to cope with local people’s pressures and mitigate illegal logging activities. Yet, few effective results have been reported.

It would be a first step to collect more information on rural livelihoods. From this viewpoint, firstly, we will marshal the kinds of forest use patterns inside a national park in terms of the levels of pressures on forest resources; i.e. agroforestry such as durian gardens, rubber plantations, or shifting cultivation. Secondly, characteristics of households associated with each kind of forest use pattern will be confirmed. With this information, more precise targeting of program beneficiaries would be possible, which would result in better outcomes of buffer zone or other protected areas-related programs.

Study Site

In our study, we focus on GunungPalung National Park (GPNP) in West Kalimantan thatcontains globally significantecosystems in terms of biodiversity conservation.GPNP is located in Ketapang District and Kayong Utara District with anapproximate area of 90,000 ha and maximum elevation of 1,116m. Thisregioncontains seven types of tropical rainforest ecosystems: sub-alpine rain forest, mountain rain forest, lowland rain forest, alluvial forest, moss forest, swamp forest, mangrove forest and rheofite vegetation. In addition, the national park is famous for endemic habitat of orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), with estimated population density of 3.0 individuals/km2, totally 2,470 individuals. Proboscis monkey (Nasalislarvatus) is also distributed with high density.However, illegal logging has been serious throughout the national park, particularly since 1999, and 50,400ha had beendeforested in mid-2003.

Abstract

After several attempts to establish a binding international agreement to protect the world’s forests failed, the global community has recently ranked forest conservation high on international negotiation agendas. The dominant international discourse sees tropical forest protection as a highly cost effective climate change mitigation option and its protection as a substantial income source for developing countries and in particular for its marginalized forest dependent communities. Deforestation and forest degradation processes alone contribute 15% to the global greenhouse gas emissions (Van der Werf et al., 2009), Indonesia is one of the largest emitter of land-based greenhouse gas emissions. Up to 60% of its emissions are caused by deforestation, forest degradation and peatland conversion (Brockhaus et al., 2011). At COP 15 in Copenhagen Indonesia announced as one of the first developing countries an ambitious emission reduction target of 26% below business as usual (BAU) until 2020. A substantial part of this commitment is planned to be reached by a forest policy aimed to reduce deforestation and forest degradation. For this purpose, the country is receivingadditional support from the international community - as part of the REDD (ReducingEmissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) mechanism introduced to the UNFCCC process in 2005. Multilateral initiatives such as the UNREDD Programme or the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) managed by the World Bank, and bilateral initiatives such as the German International Climate Initiative (ICI), the Australian-Indonesian Forest Carbon Partnership and the Indonesia-Norway REDD+ Partnership support the efforts of the Indonesian government to establish a national REDD framework. Today regional Indonesian governmental institutions (e.g. Provincial and District Governments), donor agencies, NGO’s and private businesses are implementing more than fourty REDD pilot projects in nearly any part of the country (CIFOR 2012).

Most of the recently published research on REDD focuses on rather technical facets of the . mechanisms. Cost benefit analyses, proposals for REDD governance and market concepts, models illustrating historic deforestation and predicting future deforestation, and greenhouse gas inventories exist for different forest types and were conducted for several regions in Indonesia and abroad. The results of such studies draw a simplistic, technocratic image and are dominated by a global gaze (Fogel, 2004). A global gaze often ignores local populations living in areas designated as carbon sinks and neglects the existence of local narratives, local resource use practices and local interpretations of nature.

The main objective of this research project is to conduct a qualitative empirical analysis of the impacts of forest conservation concepts emerged from international climate negotiations andtheir effects on rural development and on the protection of tropical forests in Indonesia.

REDD has according to climate experts (WBGU 2011) the potential to foster moresustainable and climate-friendly resource use practices. REDD valuates or in other words creates incentives



for the protection and sustainable use of forest resources. This implies that not the demand for agro-industrial products would drive rural development in frontier and post-frontier regions but rather the demand for tradable emission reduction certificates. REDD demonstration activities in Indonesia are implemented in regions in different stages of frontier transformation and thus deforestation is caused by different drivers. Whereas in the Jambi province agricultural intensification of the already existing agricultural area is a major cause for land-use change induced greenhouse gas emissions (Feintrenie et al. 2010; Mc Carthy 2007; Browder et al. 2008) the provinces of Kalimantan Barat and Kalimantan Tengahstill have larger areas of frontier forests (FWI/GFW 2002: 18; Lusiana et al. 2011). Deforestation induced greenhouse gas emissions in the two provinces on the island of Kalimantan are mainly caused by forest conversion for agricultural purposes. This research seeks to draw a comparative political ecology of the Indonesian REDD process considering different political scales and different stages of frontier transformation in up to three Indonesian provinces.

The project has three main research foci jinked to subsidiary research questions: Focus 1: Impacts of international climate discourses on local forest.protection policies and the on the valuation of natural resources.

Abstract

This project aims at understanding the processes of carbon (C) sequestration in mangrove ecosystems as a function of mangrove conversion, in order to develop and test an easy-to-use tool for pricing of C related environmental services (CRES) in REDD and PES schemes. We will investigate into the C sequestration potential of mangrove by linking C stocks to sources, composition, and turnover of organic matter (OM) species in soil. Furthermore, we aim to clarify to which extent these functions are triggered by plant and microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) species composition in pristine and used (including completely deforested) mangroves. This process-based understanding of utilization thresholds is a prerequisite for successful future management scenarios dealing with C sequestration in mangrove ecosystems. Moreover, it will be tested whether identification of aboveground species composition could act as a valid indicator for CRES, both in economically based decision making on broader scale and local cost-efficient monitoring of the consecutive provision of CRES.

Abstract

Consideration : Deforestation of tropical rainforest has caused carbon dioxide increese.Infertile soils including strong acidic soils are widely distributed in Indonesia. About 7% of the country of Indonesia is considered as infertile soils (strong acid soils) land and these lands are unused.According to economic development, coal ashes disposed as waste are expected to increase in Indonesia.

Purpose:

The purpose of this project is to avoid the deforestation by creation of an alternative land.First, the coal ash from power plant is processed into soil improvement product by Japanese technology. Infertile soils (strong acid soils) are improved using the soil improvement product. Deforestation is avoided by using soil improvement land.



This project involves a survey for REDD+ under consideration for a new international framework to cope with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction. The survey, which includes the following activities, aims to study the feasibility of GHG emission reduction in the host country, Indonesia. It also evaluates the co-benefit effect such as countermeasure against global warming and protects deforestation measure in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose of research: To better understand how traditional modes of access to marine resources, legal precedents for access to marine resources, local enforcement, and the efforts of dive tourism operators to create no-take zones affect the ecology of marine protected areas within the Coral Triangle in Indonesia.

Methodology

I will work with marine biologists from IPB and the international NGO community to build on the basic ecological data that already exists in both Wakatobi and Raja Ampat, and I will use that ecological data to inform my research on the human institutions, both social and political, that underpin the effectiveness of marine reserves in Wakatobi and Raja Ampat. I plan to have six research sites - three in each region - lying within a protected area, within a dive tourism no-take zone, and near a well-establish fishing community. I will collaborate with researchers from IPB and the international NGO community to interview dive operators, fishermen, and government officials to find out where people are fishing in relation to the local marine reserve, how effective reserve enforcement is, how fishing has changed since the reserves were created, whether fishermen have established any formal or informal territories, and how payments from dive operators have affected communities. I will also research the legal basis of agreements between dive operators and fishing communities.

Description of study site

The Sungai Wain Protection Forest (SWPF) is the only intact lowland forest surviving in the south-eastern part of East Kalimantan. it covers an area of 100 km2 and is largely dominated by dipterocarp trees. The SWPF includes swamp forests which are permanently or frequently flooded, alluvial forests along the rivers, steep and ridge forests as well as forests present on high-altitude plains (Fredriksson and Nijman, 2004).

A large number of mammals are present in the SWPF, including re-introduced orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus), Müller’s gibbons (Hylobates muelleri), red langurs (Presbytis rubicunda), white fronted langurs (P. frontata), sun bears (Helarctos malayanus) as well as all five cat species present on Borneo (Fredriksson and Nijman, 2004;

(F.30) Carbon Sequestration, Litter C Input to the Soil and Resource Use Efficiency in the Lowland Rainforest Transformation Systems on Sumatra

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji perubahan peredaran karbon sebagai dampak perubahan penggunaan lahan




Mitra Kerja : IPB (Dr. Sri Sudarmiyati Tjitrosudirdjo) dan Universitas Jambi (Drs. Astrizal Paiman, M.P.)

Abstract

Rainforest transformation has been suggested to largely influence the carbon cycle of the respective ecosystems. However, changes in carbon sequestration and ecosystem net primary productivity may also be influenced by the resource (water or nutrient) use-efficiency in the respective forest system. This project will investigating changes in carbon sequestration



and net primary production above- and belowground. and litter carbon fluxes to the soil carbon stock with forest transformation of tropical lowland forest into jungle rubber forest, and intensively managed rubber and oil palm plantations in Sumatra (Indonesia). The project links altered patterns in tree species diversity and identity in the presence of tree functional types, and forest structure to ecosystem functioning with a focus on the carbon cycle and the resource use-efficiency in net primary production of the forests. The results will help to assess the consequences of large-scale conversion of natural tropical lowland rainforest into forest transformation systems for carbon sequestration and ecosystem functioning for larger landscape areas.


In each of the 32 study plots (50 m x 50 m) an inventory of aboveground woody biomass and carbon stocks will be carried out. Annual aboveground litter fall will be determined by the installation of 24 litter traps and analysis of litter samples for C and N contents. Belowground litter production will be estimated with an ingrowth core approach (24 ingrowth cores in all 32 plots). To validate the ingrowth core data, we will apply the minirhizotron technique for analysing fine root longevity from direct observations (16 rhizotron tubes in 4 plots). In order to gain quantitative data on seasonal changes in living and dead fine root mass (and related C and N contents), we will conduct a sequential soil coring approach (20 sampling locations at 4 plots). Annual above-ground tree biomass production will be estimated based on the investigation of major components of above-ground net primary production: stem diameter growth (natural rainforest and rubber systems), height growth of oil palm individuals, litter production and oil palm fruit yield. For the inventory of live and dead fine root mass soil samples from the upper soil will be analysed from 10 randomly selected sampling locations in 3 soil depths with varying distance to surrounding stems in each of the 32 core sites.

(F.31) Aboveground Pattern of Biodiversity and Associated Ecosystem Process Across Tropical Rainforest Transformations

Tujuan Penelitian : Menghitung secara kuantitatif proses-proses ekosistem di hutan hujan tropik


Lama Penelitian : 12 bulan mulai 18 Juni 2012


Mitra Kerja : IPB (Dr. Damayanti Buchori) dan Universitas Jambi (Ir. Hamzah, M.Sc.)

Abstract

1) Research Objectives

Improving ecological and socio-economical functionality of tropical human-dominated landscapes is a major challenge. In this scientific project (SP), we focus on aboveground animal biodiversity patterns and related ecological functions at local and landscape scales in lowland forest, jungle rubber (resembling secondary forest), rubber plantations and oil palm plantations.

Decreases in diversity from lowland forest to agroecosystems have already been reported. However, spatial patterns of biodiversity essential for scaling findings up to landscape scales are poorly known. Similarly, lack of knowledge about the relationship between taxonomic and functional diversity and resulting ecosystem services hampers the prediction of ecological functioning. Using two taxonomically and functionally diverse groups, ants and birds, we will sample all core plots at multiple scales to quantify beta diversity and fit species-area relationships. We will test for congruence between taxonomical and functional diversity responses of ant and bird communities to rainforest transformation at different scales. In all core plots, we will quantify ecosystem processes such as herbivory, predation, seed-dispersionand pollination using observations on phytometer plots designedtoinclude plantation, forest and homegarden crop species. Manipulation of ant and bird access will allow testing of predictions about the impact of these groups on plants, above- and belowground animal communities across rainforest transformation systems and lowland forest. Our SP is intimately linked with plant and belowground ecological groups working on the core plots as well as socio-economic groups working at household and village level.



The two specific objectives I will have responsibility for are:

a) Taxonomic and functional diversity responses of ants to rainforest transformation

b) Ant and Bird exclusion experiment to determine responses of ecosystem processes

2) Methodology and concept

Ants will be sampled across all core sites using winklertraps , combined with baiting for arboreal species, every 4 months during 2 years. Ant species traits will be based on morphometric measurements and complemented with nitrogen isotopic signature, behaviour at baits, predation of prey items and field ecological observations. The structure of the ant community will be also analysed using in stable isotope ratios (15N/14N and 13C/12C). Forgetting a comprehensive view on the trophic structure, 26 species (with 2-3 bulk samples per species) will be studied from each of the32 core plots.

Full factorial treatment Full factorial treatment combinations of ant and bird exclusion will be established in 5x6 m subplots in each of the 32 core plots. In each of six 2x2 m cells we will establish one of six plant species:palm, rubber, two natives forest species, chilli and cucumber. These species include the dominant vegetation in the plots, as well as common homegarden species will flower and produce fruit during the 1st phase of the CRC, allowing to quantify further ecosystem functions. The advantages of this design over treatments applied to existing trees are ease of manipulation and replication, and that all plant species can be included in all systems. In an additional 1x6m strip within the subplots.

Exclusion of birds will be done using fishnets, exclusion of ants using aluminium barriers with sticky glue dug into the soil and toxic baits (following Klimes et al. 2011). We expect not only ants but also other mobile predators will be excluded: live pitfall traps will be exposed 3 times per year to quantify differences in densities of ants and other predatory arthropods inside and outside the exclosures. Arthropod communities on plants and herbivory will be recorded every 3 months. Pollinator visitation (homegarden plots) will be studied for 20 min per cell. Movement between phytometers and other flowering plants in the neighbourhood will be recorded. We will also record herbivory, predation pressure, fruit and seed set, yield (chilli and cucumber), density of decomposer and predatory invertebrates, and decompositon rates in the experimental plots.

(F.32) Tree and Palm Water Use Characteristic in Rainforest Transformation system

Tujuan Penelitian : Menentukan derajat komplementari dalam penggunaan air tanah di dalam hutan tropik




Mitra Kerja : IPB (Dr. Hendrayanto) dan Universitas Jambi (Ir. Heri Junedi, M.Sc.)

Abstract

Rainforest transformation will most likely alter ecosystem water cycles with respect to associated magnitude of fluxes, within-system variability and temporal dynamics. Under given environmental conditions, both stand-level water use and productivity may be driven by the degree of complementary soil water use. The objectives of the proposed project are: (1) to determine the degree of complementarity in soil water resource use, (2) to analyze the relationship between soil water uptake and fine root distribution, (3) to estimate whole-plant water use rates in trees and palms, and (4) to derive water use efficiencies. The study will be conducted in tropical lowland rainforests, jungle rubber, and rubber and oil palm plantations



in two regions of Jambi province (Sumatra, Indonesia). The objectives will be investigated in two work packages (WPs), which are ‘soil water uptake’ (WP1: in cooperation with PhD student Andrea Hanf) and ‘water use rates’ (WP2). The following hypotheses (Hs) shall be tested:

WP1: Soil water uptake

H1: Patternsofsoilwateruptakediffersignificantlyacrosstransformationsystems:

• The spatial variability, the degree of complementary water use and the depth of soil water uptake decrease in order from rainforest to jungle rubber, rubber plantation and finally oil palm plantation, and the temporal dynamics are similarly affected between systems

• The relative contribution of deep soil layers to water uptake increases with tree size.• Trees with deep soil water uptake have the highest water use rates.

H2:Thedistributionpatternoffinerootsalonedoesnotsufficientlyexplaindifferencesinthedepths of soil water uptake across species/systems:

• Trees with a relatively high contribution of deep soil layers to water uptake still have the highest fine root densities in the topsoil.

• Differences in soil water uptake depths (as indicated by deuterium isotope analyses) are more closely related to the amount of fine roots occurring at the respective (sub-) soil depths.

WP2: Water use rates

H1: Water use characteristics of trees and palms differ significantly across transformationsystems:

• At the stand level, the rates of water use and within stand variability are highest in rainforest and decrease through jungle rubber to rubber plantation and oil palm.

• A prediction of regional transpiration will be further improved when, in addition to tree size, landscape position and transformation system are also considered.

H2: Wateruseefficienciesdifferacrosstransformationsystems:

• At the stand level, water use efficiencies decrease in order from rainforest to jungle rubber, rubber plantation and oil palm.

• Trees and palms with access to deep water sources have low water use efficiencies.• Water use efficiency correlates with leaf N concentrations, and stem 6,3C and 6180

Abstract

A consensus has been reached in the academic field that climate change is real and is a threat to society and the world. Even the more conservative predictions estimate large worldwide consequences that will impact and damage millions of livelihoods. Mitigation efforts are underway in order to reduce and prevent climate change from occurring, but with emissions still increasing worldwide and with past emissions already in the atmosphere has meant that climate change is inevitable. Only the severity of climate change can still be controlled by our actions. International policy is heading towards a worldwide 2°C above preindustrial temperature target, which is nevertheless predicted to have large scale impacts on the natural system and societies. As a result, preparing for the impacts of climate change becomes as important as mitigation efforts if we are to successfully tackle the threat of climate change. Adaptation will therefore need to come to the forefront of climate change policy or at least be on equal footing with mitigation.

Policy makers have mainly resisted large scale adaptation actions for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the lack of accuracy that comes with predicting the impacts of climate change, especially on regional and local scales. It goes without saying that it is difficult to prepare for climate change if countries are not sure what to prepare for. The second problem is the ambiguous nature of adaptation. Adaptation scholars disagree upon the definition of adaptation, the role of adaptation and the means to best implement adaptation strategies. A lack of confidence in the theory makes policy making and implementation a difficult task. Furthermore, adaptation is by nature a context specific concept, meaning policies need to be implemented on a regional or local basis, and are not as effective on an international or national scale. However, considering that climate change is an international and national problem, the interaction between different levels of decision making is important but remains difficult to implement effectively. Finally, the longevity of climate change and adaptation is an issue. The benefits from adaptation are not going to be seen until climate change impacts are becoming apparent which may be decades away. Political systems across the world do not conform to such timeframes, with immediate results the focus of attention and elections.

Discovering ways in which to promote adaptation to climate change and to provide solutions that policy makers are more willing to consider is therefore essential. The focus of this



thesis will be to explore the feasibility of one such solution. That solution is to link adaptation strategies into mitigation strategies in order to determine the circumstances required that would allow for positive adaptation outcomes to occur while implementing mitigation projects. Ascertaining such a connection would help simplify decision making amongst policy makers on adaptation as co-benefits will make these options more attractive.

In order to do so, this dissertation will explore the feasibility of this theory in REDD+ (Reducing Emissions through Deforestation and Forest Degradation) projects. Exploring this in REDD+ is attractive due to the infancy of the initiative and the associations these projects have with local communities. With no final decisions yet made on REDD+ policy, this research has the potential to provide productive policy recommendations. As a result, the dissertation will perform research atseveral REDD+ affected case studies within the region of Central Kalimantan, Indonesia to determine if and how REDD+ can support adaptation.

A number of stepwise objectives need to be fulfilled to do so, which are outlined in the following three research questions.

a) What key features define the successful adaptation of local communities to climatechange inCentral Kalimantan Indonesia?

b) What key design features of REDD+ initiatives are likely to have greatest impact on theadaptation of local communities to climate change in Central Kalimantan Indonesia?

c) Is project-based REDD+ or country-to-country based REDD+ more likely to lead to successfuladaptation of local communities to climate change in Central Kalimantan Indonesia and whatother policy recommendations can be made?

The benefits of the research are apparent and can provide important contributions into how climate change adaptation will be tackled in years to come. It will also provide input into the academic field in another way. With a major stumbling block in successful adaptation responses being the lack of consensus within the academic field on the concept itself, this research will hopefully be a small step towards reaching a consensus, as it will contribute to filling a gap in the current academic literature. Adaptation at the local level is an area that has had little attention in the academic field as of yet, despite the importance it presents to adaptation theory, and will be researched in detail in the upcoming study.

Tujuan Penelitian : Meneliti struktur dan fungsi jaring makanan bawah tanah, khususnya pada aspek mikro organisme




Mitra Kerja : IPB (Dr. Rahayu Widyastuti ), Puslit Biologi LIPI (Dr. Yayuk R. Suhardjono)

Abstract

As knowledge on the decomposer system in tropical lowland rainforests and itstransformation systems is very limited project focuses on answering general questions on thestructure and functioning of the belowground food web focusing on microorganisms andmajor microbial consumers. The project has four major goals which will be investigated infour work packages (WPs):

• WP1:Soilfaunaasaffectedbytransformationoflowlandrainforest

• WP2:Decompositionprocessesinlowlandrainforesttransformationsystemsasaffectedbytop-down forces

• WP3:Bottom-upandtop-downforcesasdrivingfactorsforthesoilmicro-andmesofauna

• WP4:Theroleofrootsandmycorrhizalfungiforthedetritivorefoodweb


Soil animals will be extracted by heat using modified Kempson-extractors. Oribatid mites (Oribatida) will be analysed at high taxonomic resolution (species level). Collembola will also be analysed at high taxonomic resolution in close collaboration with Dr. Y.R. Suhardjono. With lower taxonomic resolution other soil animal taxa extracted by heat will be investigated in a comprehensive way in close collaboration Dr. R. Widyastuti, including Collembola, Gamasida, Isopoda, Diplopoda, Chilopoda, Araneida. Animals will be assigned to trophic groups and the size will be measured to allow integration into food web models of B1 Brose. For the analysis of bacteria and fungi we will investigate microbial respiration (02 microcompensation technique), microbial biomass as measured by substrate-induced respiration (SIR) and microbial community composition as indicated by PLFA in the litter and upper soil layers (F/H and/or Ah).



Complementary analysis of microbial biomass by fumigation extraction will be done by our counterpart Dr. R. Widyastuti. The structure of the soil animal food web will be investigated by analysing natural variations in stable isotope ratios (15N/14N and 13C/12C). Decomposition of litter materials will be investigated by using litter bags.

The role of roots and mycorrhizal fungi for litter decomposition, saprotrophic microorganisms and the nutrition of decomposer soil invertebrates will be investigated in a field microcosm experiment. Microcosms (diameter 15 cm, length 20 cm) selectively excluding plant roots and mycorrhizal fungi will be installed at one of the Harapan lowland rainforest sites.

Abstract

Research Objectives

• Theproposedproject(B01)hasfourmajorgoalswhichwillbeinvestigatedinfourworkpackages (WPs). This proposal concerns WP 3 and 4:

• WP3:Investigatehowrainforesttransformationaffectsneutralandnicheconstraintsonbeta diversity and species-area relationships

• WP4: Investigate rainforest transformation effects on population stability, food-webpersistence and decomposition rates in complex food-web models.


WP3: Beta diversity and species-area relationships

Hypotheses:

• H9: Community similarity decreases with spatial distance and is constant acrossenvironmental distance (neutral theory).

• H10:Communitysimilaritydecreaseswithenvironmentaldistanceandisconstantacrossspatial distance (niche theory).

• H11: The relative importance of spatial and environmental distance for communitysimilarity depends on (a) land-use types and (b) trophic groups.

• H12:The exponent of the species-area relationship increaseswith trophic level and islower in transformation systems than in tropical lowland forests, (contributes to Focus 3 -Hypothesis 3)



This WP will include data of macro-invertebrates (this SP, WP1), soil micro- and mesofauna (B08 Scheu/Maraun), epigeic fauna (B09 Tscharntke/Clough, 22), and vascular plants (B06 Kreft). Each species will be characterized according to seven trophic groups: belowground predators and decomposers (macro-invertebrates), bacterivores and fungivores (micro- and mesofauna), aboveground predators and herbivores, and vascular plants. The abiotic environment of the vegetation structure (canopy openness and light availability, B06 Kreft), the soil (A04 Kuzyakov) and climate (A03 Knohl/Panferov) will be characterized at the levels of subplots and CPs. Environmental variables affecting the abundances of species will be identified by ordination methods (e.g., canonical correspondence analyses). Subsequently, relevant environmental variables will be standardized to calculate the Euclidean distance between any pair of subplots as a measurement of environmental distance. The Jaccard index as an indicator of community similarity, the spatial distance, and the environmental distance will be calculated for each pair of the 96 subplots.

Correlation analyses will reveal the relationship between spatial and environmental distances. Calculations of community similarity will be replicated for the total data set and each of the seven trophic groups. GLMs will be employed to test for significant effects of spatial distance (H9) or environmental distance (H10) on community similarity. The land-use type will be entered as a covariates to assess potential effects of rainforest transformation (H11a). These analyses will be replicated for the total data set and individual data sets for each of the seven trophic groups (H11 b).

Subsequently, the distance between subplots and CPs, D, and their similarity in species, S, will be employed to calculate the exponent, z, of the species-area relationship by: S = constant - 2z ln(D) (Harte et al. 1999). These calculations will be independently replicated for the seven trophic groups and four transformation systems to assess the dependence of z on trophic level and transformation system (H12). Knowledge of these scaling exponents will enable scaling up diversity and complexity to the landscape level (Brose et al. 2004).

WP4: Model analyses of rainforest transformation effects on population stability, food-web persistence and decomposition rates

Hypotheses:

• H13: The losses of large species by rainforest transformation decreases populationstability(coefficientsofvariationofspeciesbiomassdensities)andfood-webpersistence.(contributes to Focus 1 - Hypothesis 2)

• H14: Rainforest transformation decreases the average and the stability of thedecomposition rates, (contributes to Focus 1 - Hypothesis 2)

The macro-invertebrate species sampled (WP1) will be trophically grouped according to stable isotope data (615N, 613C, 30 species per CP) into primary decomposers, fungivores and



predators of different trophic levels. Specific feeding links between species will be established based on laboratory feeding trials consistent with protocols from prior studies (e.g., own experiments for beech forest food webs of the Biodiversity Exploratories). These trophic data will be combined with data on species and their feeding links for the soil micro-and mesofauna (B08 Scheu/Maraun) and fungi (B07 Polle). Subsequently, these empirical food-web structures will be used to parametrize non-linear, bioenergetic population models. These models employ empirical relationships between the biological rates of growth, respiration and consumption, and body masses to predict dynamics in biomass densities (see Brose et al. 2006, Otto et al. 2007, Berlow et al. 2009 for details). Integration of these differential equations will yield time series that will be analysed for the stability of populations (e.g., coefficient of variation of their biomass density) and community persistence (e.g., fraction of persistent species). The models will be parametrized by the empirical food-web topologies and average body masses of the populations (WP1). Independent model analyses will be carried out for the four transformation systems to detect systematic differences in population stability and food-web persistence (H13).

Subsequently, the consumption rates of primary decomposers and fungi at the base of each food web will be aggregated to calculate time series of community decomposition rates. This allows predicting the strength and stability of the litter decomposition for the different land-use types (H14). These predictions will be tested in a litter bag experiment (see B08 Scheu/Maraun for details).

Abstract

Within the projects “Terrestrial influences on mangrove ecology and sustainability of their resources” (4), and “Understanding and Managing the Resilience of Coral Reefs and Associated Social Systems” (3), this subproject (SP) will provide an overview about changes in use over time of natural resources in Indonesian mangrove forests and coral reefs. It will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the social-ecological transformations of these systems in relation to resource use. By identifying economically important species and analysing their exploitation and the related rules and institutions, SP3 will supply important baseline data for other projects. The research will cover both resources for local consumption (such as benthic invertebrate species), and resources mainly relevant as export commodities (such as sea cucumbers).

The major goal of SP3 is the analysis of natural resource use in Indonesian coastal mangrove forests and coral reefs and their temporal and spatial changes. This refers to the determination of resource exploitation patterns and underlying drivers of economically important resources. The SP aims to analyse and define communalities and distinctions in the exploitation patterns in four different case study areas. Researchers will further describe social, political and economic rules and institutions related to resource use and management, including catching and collection techniques, politics and policies, trading routes and credit-depth arrangements. Special attention will be paid to the analysis of formal and informal management schemes. The SP is strongly linked to several other subtopics in topic 4 and 3. For example, the identified exploited species from mangrove forests will be further studied in SP 1 (topic 4) in terms of their ecological importance. This will allow assessing the impacts of resource exploitation on selected species. Identified species from coral reefs will also be subject to genetically analysis in SP 2 (topic 3). This is expected to provide new insights on how exploitation has an impact on the connectivity of populations. The analysis of rules and institutions related to resource use will also be utilized by SP 3 (topic 3) for the work on effective coral reef management strategies.

In a more general context, the results of this SP will provide a major contribution to the development of improved management strategies for sustainable resource use in Indonesia.



Research in this SP is based on three hypotheses:

a) Natural resources, resource exploitation and the related rules and institutions form a co-evolving social-ecological system.

b) The agents and characteristics of this system (e.g. species exploited, catching techniques, and management regulations) change over time.

c) Analysing the transformations of this system and the underlying drivers is a precondition for the development of sustainable resource management strategies.

Three specific scientific objectives will be addressed in this project:

Objective (1) is to identify major resources/ economically important species in the four case study areas over time.

Objective (2) is to determine exploitation patterns for these resources/ species, and their temporal and spatial changes over time.

Objective (3) is to describe the related social, political and economic rules and institutions, including catching and collection techniques, politics and policies, as well as formal and informal management schemes.

Research location

The research will implemented in Jambi Province in Sumatra, with the fastest and most complete transformation of tropical lowland rainforest. We focus on tropical lowland rainforests



as these are experiencing the strongest losses worldwide (Achard et al. 2002). In particular, the massive transformation of lowland rainforest into oil palm plantations has been identified as a major threat for biodiversity and a potential driver of climate change (Danielsen et al. 2009, Giam et al. 2010, Wilcove and Koh 2010).

Two landscapes within Jambi Province have been chosen for the CRC research comprising large units of lowland rainforest: National Park Bukit Duabelas and Harapan Rainforest. The transformation systems to be investigated include lowland rainforest as reference sites, jungle rubber (extensive rubber plantations), and intensive rubber and oil palm plantations. Lowland rainforest reference sites represent old-growth forest but have been subject to logging. Large sites of untouched natural rainforest are no longer existing in Jambi province, but the lowland rainforest reference sites selected represent large rainforest regions in a close to natural state. Jungle rubber represents an extensive management system which is established by planting rubber trees into rainforest. Its implementation dates back into the early 20,h century but still covers large areas of Jambi. In each of the two landscapes (comprising blocks in a randomized complete block design), four replicates of each of the four transformation systems (including the lowland rainforest as reference) will be investigated. These 32 sites will constitute the core sites; covering these core sites is mandatory for all CRC scientific projects (SPs) that collect micro level data. In addition to investigating established transformation systems, a reforestation experiment will be established near Harapan Rainforest landscape. The experiment aims at investigating principal questions of how to establish sustainable forest management systems, optimizing both conservation needs and socioeconomic benefits. Apart from the work on these sites and on the reforestation experiment, socioeconomic surveys will be undertaken in the same sites, but also including a broader area in Jambi Province to be able to capture institutional heterogeneity, which is important for comprehensive understanding of socioeconomic causes and consequences of land use changes.

Abstract

The aim of this project is to quantify the carbon storage in and the CO2 emission from the Indonesian Seas, and to study the impact of the changing carbon cycle on the fisheries in the coastal waters and peat draining rivers. Therefore, a carbon budget for the organic and the inorganic carbon cycle will be established by determining long-term organic and inorganic carbon accumulation rates as well as carbon exports from coastal ecosystems into the ocean and the atmosphere. In order to account for the different succession of ecosystems in peat and non-peat dominated coastal regions, two main working areas were bilaterally agreed and selected: the peat-dominated eastern coast of Sumatra (including the Banten Bay) and the coral reef-dominated carbonate platform in the Spermonde Archipelago. The carbon fluxes determined in these regions will be integrated into a hydrodynamical model and extrapolated to a regional scale. The model will furthermore be used to study the influence of climate anomalies (ENSO and Indian Ocean Dipole Mode, IOD) on the carbon cycle in the Indonesian Seas. The established carbon budget will, furthermore, provide the scientific background data for the development of sustainable mitigation strategies in the framework of compensation-based institutional approaches to reduce the C02 emissions.

Background

This project “CISKA” is mentioned before part of the bilateral Indonesian/German program SPICE. The overarching goal of the SPICE Program is to address the scientific, social and economic issues related to the management of the Indonesian coastal ecosystems and theirresources. In addition to strengthening the existing scientific data base on coastal ecosystems, the program



promotes capacity and infrastructure building in the manne sector in Indonesia and Germany. The program is being carried out in cooperation among partners from several Indonesian and German universities and government research institutions. SPICE makes substantial inputs towards fulfilling regional and international obligations of the two countries as entailed in international conventions and treaties. Within this context the overarching scientific aim of the project CISKA is to quantify and to value carbon storage and the C02 emission from the Indonesian Seas caused by declining ecosystems for the development of sustainable mitigation strategies within the framework of compensation-based institutional approaches to reduce the C02 emissions. In order to achieve these goals we are planning to carry out three research cruises.

Research cruises

The objective of the cruises within this cooperation project is to determine the most important oceanic compartments of the above mentioned cycle of organic and inorganic carbon. This is an interdisciplinary approach and includes different working groups. The peat-dominated eastern coast of Sumatra will be visited twice, at the end of the dry season in September 2012 and at the end of the rainy season in March 2013 to include the difference due to the influence of land-borne compartments on the observations in the ocean, while the coral reef-dominated Spermonde Archipelago and its vicinity will be visited at the end of the rainy season in March 2014 only. During the cruises, direct and indirect measurements of organic and inorganic carbon and carbon-related processes investigated will bethe carbon flow through selected tropical seagrass beds to show Mow dependent its function as carbon sink is on riverine input of dissolved and particulate carbon,the bio-productivity and bio-optical characteristics in coastal environments quantifying the contribution of phytoplankton to the carbon cycle,riverine inputs of dissolved and particulate organic and inorganic carbon (DOC, POC, DIC, PIC) as well as of total alkalinity (TA) into the coastal ocean,C02 emissions from rivers (river outgassing) and the coastal ocean including seagrass beds and coral reefs into the atmosphere,the individual components of the carbonate system including the aragonite (Oara) and calcite saturation states (Deal) in the water column,changes of assemblages of carbonate producers and their preservation state along pH (=Qara/cal) gradients.

Besides, physical ocean water parameters will be determined at all stations and during the entire cruises. At certain stations with long-term observations (seegrass beds), there will ocean current measurements with an ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler).

(F.40) Sources and Risks of Organic Contaminant and Heavy Metal Burden in Seafood from Jakarta Bay

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengidentifikasi kontaminan organik dan anorganik dan menentukan tingkat konsentrasi pencemaran air, sedimen dan kompon di Teluk Jakarta



Daerah Penelitian : DKI Jakarta (Teluk Jakarta dan Kep. Seribu)


Abstract

Seafood is the main protein source and an important income basis for many local communities in coastal areas of Indonesia. But seafood consumption is also an important route of human exposure to contaminants. Commercially important fish and benthos species from densely populated and industrialized coastal areas with inputs of untreated sewage such as Jakarta Bay may contain potentially harmful organic contaminants and heavy metals in levels which are exceeding international safety thresholds. This is probably posing a risk to human health, in particular with respect to bioaccumulating contaminants. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the quality of seafood from such Indonesian coastal systems in terms of contaminant burden. The aim of the proposed project would be a soume-to-ceH approach to state of pollution in Jakarta Bay and its implication for human food resources. It traces the implications of harmful substance loads from their primary emission sources via food chains to the consumed seafood.



The obtained data set will be used to develop recommendations for an improvement of water quality and effective reduction of seafood contamination and, consequently, the intake of contaminants by consumers.

Scientific and/or technical objectives

i) Identify relevant organic and inorganic contaminants comprising in particular those site specificcompoundsthatrepresentthemajorandmostharmfulcontamination

ii) Determine the concentrations of these contaminants in water, sediments suspended matter and Identify the sources of pollution considering source^ specific markercompounds

iii) Study concentrations of bioaccumulating contaminants, e.g. priority pollutants according to the Stockholm convention, In edible parts of economic important macrobenthic invertebrateandfishspecies

iv) Calculate the human intake rate of priority pollutants and compare ft with international safety thresholds

Abstract

The primary goal of the project is to contribute to a safe management of the coastal waters of the Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA) in order to protect biodiversity, fishing and harvest waters in this polluted region and enhance seafood quality. For this purpose, the transport and disper¬sion of anthropogenic nutrients (N, P) from the JMA will be studied in detail using a combination of field measurements and numerical modelling. Model simulations of typical situations, worst case scenarios and strategies to reduce the risk of pollution will provide a basis for the definition of critical areas and for recommendations aiming to improve the effectiveness of potential miti¬gation measures, in order to evaluate potential coherence patterns of different environmental stressors, measured and modelled nutrient gradients will be related to data on phytoplankton biomass and to the occurrence of microalgae bloom events as well as to the prevalence of con¬taminant levels in water and biota as assessed by subproject SP1 and SP5 of the joint MABICO Project. This intercomparison will allow for a closer insight into the different processes affecting the quality status of Jakarta Bay.

Lama Penelitian : 6 (enam) bulan mulai 14 Desember 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Tengah (Segara Anakan di Kab. Cilacap)

Mitra Kerja : Balitbang KP (Dr. Husein Sastranegara)

Abstract

Increased nutrient inputs with a change in the nutrient mix due to human activities in the coastal ecosystem is affecting a number of critical ecosystem services, assessment of the fluxes of dissolved and particulate matter of the Citanduy river in addition to identification of sources and sinks of nutrients and organic carbon of the Lagoon and watershed will be conducted, sample of water, suspended matter and sediments in the lagoon and the largest river of the area, the Citanduy, will be analyzed, sampling of plants and soils in the watershed will also be conducted from October to March. Result will be analyzed with respect to.spacial and temporal variation and also interannual discrepancy of the Segara Anakan will be evaluated which would have importance for a cost-effective implementation of precise conservation measures.



Background

Nitrogen and phosphorus inputs into the ocean have trebled between the 1970s and 1990s due to human activities while the input of silicon decreased dramatically. As a consequence of increased nutrient inputs and a change in the nutrient mix excessive algal blooms and changes in the phytoplankton community composition towards non-biomineralizing species have been observed in many regions. This has implications for food webs and biogeochemical cycles of coastal seas including the release of greenhouse gases as observed, for example, in the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. Examples from tropical coasts with high population density and extensive agriculture, however, display deviations in this respect. Agriculture which is a major source of the essential nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus is also strongly jnvolved in the silicon cycle. Hydrology alterations and land use also exert control on the nutrient cycle. This, in turn, has consequences for downstream aquatic systems which have hardly been considered in studies of cultural eutrophication and attendant ecological consequences as yet.

Objectives and Rationale of the Study

The Segara Anakan lagoon is affected by high riverine sediment inputs, overexploitation of natural resources and effluents from agriculture, industry and households (White et al. 1998; Yuwono et al. 2007).Therefore, key management issues in the area are the decreasing size of the lagoon due to heavy riverine sediment input from upland activities, water quality problems due to sedimentation from upland agriculture activities and poor economic conditions of the coastal inhabitants (Dudley 2000; BPKSA 2003; Yulastoro 2003). Information on the nutrient and carbon variation across the aquatic ecosystem have significant importance to claim the fate and transport of elements and compounds that occur naturally or anthropogenic origin and discuss its ecological role in the system. In my study, I would like to assess the sources and sinks of nutrients and organic carbon and its effects on the trophic status of the Segara Anakan Lagoon as a result of land use/cover and hydrological patterns.

(F.43) Biodiversity enrichment in oil palm plantations: ecological impacts

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan percobaan pengayaan biodiversitas melalui penanaman spesies pohon lokal di antara sela-sela kebun kelapa sawit



Daerah Penelitian : Jambi (TN Bukit Duabelas, Hutan Hujan Harapan)

Mitra Kerja : Universitas Jambi (Dr. Bambang Irawan), IPB (Dr. Pamungkas)

Abstract

The transformation of natural rainforest into large-scale mono-cultural oil palm plantations has led to dramatic losses in biodiversity and in ecological functioning. To alleviate negative impacts on ecological systems in existing plantations, designer plantation landscapes have been proposed, where agroforestry zones buffer natural vegetation from oil palm. In many landscapes, however, natural vegetation has been almost entirely converted to oil palm. Consequently, re-establishing diverse habitats by planting and restoring ecological functionality will sooner or later become necessary. Expected ecological benefits may justify the payment for environmental services, especially in the context of smallholder oil palm cultivation. The ecological and economical processes that may hamper or facilitate re-establishement of diverse habitats are largely unknown.

Within the subproject B11 “Biodiversity enrichment in oil palm plantations: ecological impacts” a biodiversity enrichment experiment will be implemented, whereby native tree species are going to be planted in gaps within an oil palm plantation.

Research in the first phase of the CRC will focus on seed rain, successional dynamics of gap plant communities, and determinants of growth and survival in the planted trees. Based on such ecological studies, the enrichment planting experiment will evaluate the effectiveness of proposed designer plantation landscapes, and may contribute to the development of ecologically improved and socio-economically viable management concepts in oil palm landscapes.


The planned enrichment planting experiment intends to systematically vary the species richness (one to six species) and identity trees in gaps within oil palm plantations. The following questions will be addressed:



• What are the experimental effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functions inside thegaps and on the surrounding oil palm?

• Dotheseeffectschangeduringthesuccessionaltrajectoryoftheexperiment?

• Dotheseeffectsdependonthedistancetonaturalhabitat?

• What are the socio-economic constraints and impacts associated with enrichmentplantings?

Plots of 20x20 meters will be established in a mono-cultural large-scale oil palm landscape. On each plot, varying tree species diversities and compositions will be planted. The plantings will comprise six native multi-purpose tree species while adopting a random partitions design with four partitions series (tree diversity levels of six, three, two and one) plus treatments without planting subject to natural succession and plantings of oil palms resulting in a total of 56 experimental plots.

Abstract

Palm oil is among the most important sources of vegetable oil worldwide. With increasing demand as a feedstock for biofuel production, its global demand is set to increase. It is clear that forest conversion to oil palm plantation has severe impacts on biodiversity. However, little research has focussed on methods that can be employed to maximise biodiversity within plantation habitats, nor the role this biodiversity plays in ecosystem functioning and crop production.

The Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function in Tropical Agriculture (BEFTA) Project aims to quantify the effect of habitat complexity within oil palm plantations on biodiversity and the role of this biodiversity in ecosystem functioning and productivity.

In particular the project will:

• quantifytheeffectofhabitatcomplexityinmaintainingbiodiversity,ecosystemfunctionand ecosystem services within oil palm

• developnovelexperimentalapproachesforpartitioningtheeffectsofhabitatstructuralcomplexity and aspects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning

(F.45) Study on the establishment of allometry equation on mangrove’s below-ground root biomas

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengukur jumlah biomass dari tanaman bakau dengan menggunakan persamaan allometri





Daerah Penelitian : Kalimantan Barat (Kubu Raya)

Mitra Kerja : Balitbang Kehutanan, Kementerian Kehutanan (Dr. Haruni Krisnawati)

Abstract

Objectives:In order to clarify root biomass amount of mangrove trees which is estimated as a great proportion of the biomass, we will try to develop a common allometric equation to predict the below-ground root biomass using some excavated plots.

Background:It is reported that mangrove trees possess higher C02 fixation capacity compared to terrestrial tropical forests, which is expected for AR-CDM (Afforestation and Reforestation in the Clean Development Mechanism) and REDD+. However, in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change methodologies relating to mangrove trees (AR-AMS0003 and AR-AM0014), some allometric estimates for above-ground biomass of the mangrove trees are approved, but no estimate of below-ground mangrove root biomass is shown. Alternatively, it is described as the root biomass is determined with a default value of 0.1 of the above-ground biomass. As reported by Komiyama et al. (2008), a low ratio of mangrove top biomass to its root biomass (T/R ratio; Komiyama et al., 2000), mangroves might have a great allocation of biomass to their roots. Therefore, it is-required to develop a method to estimate the mangrove root biomass appropriately. I (Dr Yosuke Okimoto, the applicant) has been in charge of mangrove study over the last decade and challenged to develop methodologies which estimates C02 fixation of the mangrove trees (Okimoto et al., 2007 and 2008). In collaboration with Dr. Joko Purbopuspito, Research Fellow at CIFOR, I plan to investigate and study allometric equation on root biomass of the mangrove trees of various growth stages in Indonesia to predict the below-ground root biomass.

Methodologies: High-pressured water supplied from an engine-pump will be used to dig out the below-ground roots in muddy soil. I has previous experience in investigating root biomass of the mangrove trees by using the high-pressured water supplied from an engine-pump. During the trained collaborative works, I would like to incorporate such techniques with the CIFOR staffs in these research works at Kubu Raya (West Kalimantan).

Location: Kubu Raya (West Kalimantan), with possible additional sites in Papua, Sumatra, Sungai Asam (Jambi), Cilacap (Central Jawa), and Lampung.

Duration of the research in Indonesia:One and a half year (November 2012 to March 2014)

Abstract

The attention for biomass for energy purposes, specifically ‘modern’ forms of bio-energy, has increased explosively in recent years. Unfortunately, biomass production is inevitably linked to questions of productivity, water efficiency, infrastructure, institutional capacity, technological developments and chain development As major investments already have been made and production capacity will continue to grow rapidly, the Dutch government has committed themselves to invest in improvement of the sustainability of existing production chains for bio fuels such as palm oil.

Indonesia is one of the world’s leading countries in production of palm oil. The present way of production of palm oil is based on agrarian production and causes risks to the environment. Especially production of Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is considered a serious threat for the environment as it causes surface water pollution and severe greenhouse emissions.

Maris Projects and partners KU Leuven, University Dipogenero and PT Wirana Jayatama Abadi have developed a project to improve the sustainability of the palm oil production chain. The project will prove and demonstrate local applicability of algae treatment on POME. This promising technique removes phosphates, nitrates and heavy metals from the waste water whilst simultaneously absorbing C02 from the air or from exhaust gas and producing biomass. Algae biomass in itself is very suitable as feedstock for bio fuel as it contains a high oil content Therefore, a derived project objective is to prove that algae production in itself is a sustainable and more profitable alternative biomass chain for bio fuel production purposes.

The project encompasses knowledge building, capacity building and knowledge transfer. Project partners intent to set up a series of pilots in Indonesia, based on treatment of POME and additional waste water streams such as landfill leachate and domestic waste water by algae technology (knowledge building). Within the pilots also research for the best way to convert the algae biomass to bio fuel will’be. conducted.

Abstrak

Although tropical peatland is a huge carbon reservoir (Maltby and Immirzi 1993), it has been a source of emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) associated with peat fire and peat decomposition enhanced by the drainage for the peatland development (Page et al. 2002, Hirano et al. 2007). Peat decomposition enhances the discharge of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The increase of DOC discharge influences not only the carbon balance (Worrall et al. 2007) but also the climate change as substrates of greenhouse gas productions (Charman et al. 1994). Therefore, it is important to elucidate the change in greenhouse gas emissions from and the DOC discharge in tropical peatland associated with the drainage in order to obtain a more complete picture of the global carbon cycle. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of drainage of the tropical peatland on the greenhouse gas emissions and the DOC discharge.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze how conservation education programs (specifically those programs geared towards “Alternative Livelihoods/’ herein after referred to as ALPs) can help rural communities near Gunung Palung National Park in West Kalimantan, Indonesia to sustainably manage the Park’s natural resources for the benefit of current and future generations. It is posited that only through the sustainable management of the Parks natural resources can positive conservation outcomes for protected wildlife such as the Bornean orangutan [Pongo pygmaeous) be actualized. Based on reporting from local organizations and institutions, as well as ground truthing, primary obstacles to sustainable management of the Parks natural resources come from a combination of local and external pressures, such as a lack of livelihood options in nearby communities, disturbances to traditional livelihood activities such as agriculture, and a high local and external demand for natural resources such as timber. This research sheds greater understanding on whether ALP programs are .effective at increasing



household knowledge, skills and capacity that leads not only to increased livelihood options in communities surrounding the Park, but also to improved environmental stewardship. This research concludes there is significant potential to the ALP programs as employed by Gunung Palung Orangutan Conservation Program (GPOCP), but that considerable obstacles must be overcome in order to achieve meaningful conservation outcomes through the creation of alternative household livelihood strategies.

Justification of Selection of Sites: This consisted primarily of household interviews and focus groups across 8 villages - 4 villages that have actively running ALP programs, and 4 villages that do not yet have programs. The basis for selection of the former villages was the existence of actively running ALP programs, whereas the basis for selection of the latter was based on a combination of theoretical and logistical factors, chiefly: proximity to the National Park and high biodiversity areas, need for greater data regarding livelihood strategies of the communities, perceived high level of environmentally unsustainable livelihood activities in the community, potential for future ALP partnership, and practicality of travel and basic accommodation during study period. All of these factors were analyzed in detail in consultation with GPOCP staff as described in the Sampiing Strategy Section.

Comparison With Other Studies:Numerous studies exist that address the success or lack thereof of alternative livelihood programs on achieving positive conservation outcomes in protected areas-including programs that focus heavily or exclusively on non-timber forest products (NTFP). The conclusions of these studies in terms of the success of the programs are as varied as their study sites and populations, from Southeast Asia and the Americas to the Horn of Africa. However some general conclusions can be drawn from these studies that are applicable to this research’s study area, such as the need to understand existent livelihood strategies and constraints (Timmermans 2009), the need for local input and leadership to drive the ALP programs (Farmer 2010), and the need for mindfulness regarding market issues (i.e., market dependency, adaptability, versatility) to avoid unknowingly creating increased community vulnerabilities (DFID 2012), be they local-based markets or distant markets. To date, in large part due to their recent beginnings, no comprehensive study exists which evaluates the current success and future potential ALP programs of Yayasan Palung (GPOCP) on communities surrounding the National Park.

Hypothesis to be tested:Non-applicable as this is an inductive study.

(F.52) Trace Gas Fluxes from Heavily Weathered Soils Under Rainforest Transformation System

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan pengukuran pelepasan karbon dari perkebunan kelapa sawit




Mitra Kerja : IPB (Dr. Iman Rusmana) dan Universitas Jambi (Drs. Damris Muhammad, M.Sc., Ph.D)



Abstract

Research Objectives.

1) Monthly measurement of NO, N20, CH4 and C02 fluxes and of soil factors known to control trace gas fluxes: soil water contents, mineral N, and temperature

2) Measurement of C02 and CH4 fluxes from the canopy in an oil palm plantation


At all 32 core sites, we plan to conduct whole-year monthly measurements of NO, N20, CH4, and C02 fluxes and soil factors known to control trace gas fluxes: soil water contents, mineral N, and temperature. All these measurements will be conducted in situ, using chamber methods combined with gas chromatographic and chemiluminescence techniques. Furthermore, we plan to conduct the trace gas flux measurements on four subplots (5m x 5m each with a permanent chamber base) per replicate plot, which will be selected by stratified random design.

At one plot of oil palm plantation we plan to do more frequent measurements (every 2 weeks) at 10 subplots to detect whether the aboveground part of this heavily-managed oil palm plantation is a C02 and CH4 source or sink. We also plan to do a series of incubations similar to the ones described in our earlier work in Ecuador to detect whether the cavities formed by leaf axels of oil palm are indeed a source of CH4.

Research location


Two landscapes within Jambi Province have been chosen for the CRC research comprising large units of lowland rainforest: National Park Bukit Duabelas and Harapan Rainforest. The transformation systems to be investigated include lowland rainforest as reference sites, jungle rubber (extensive rubber plantations), and intensive rubber and oil palm plantations. Lowland rainforest reference sites represent old-growth forest but have been subject to logging. Large sites of untouched natural rainforest are no longer existing in Jambi province, but the lowland rainforest reference sites selected represent large rainforest regions in a close to natural state.



Jungle rubber represents an extensive management system which is established by planting rubber trees into rainforest. Its implementation dates back into the early 20,h century but still covers large areas of Jambi. In each of the two landscapes (comprising blocks in a randomized complete block design), four replicates of each of the four transformation systems (including the lowland rainforest as reference) will be investigated. These 32 sites will constitute the core sites; covering these core sites is mandatory for all CRC scientific projects (SPs) that collect micro level data. In addition to investigating established transformationsystems, a reforestation experiment will be established near Harapan Rainforest landscape. The experiment aims at investigating principal questions of how to establish sustainable forest management systems, optimizing both conservation needs and socioeconomic benefits. Apart from the work on these sites and on the reforestation experiment, socioeconomic surveys will be undertaken in the same sites, but also including a broader area in Jambi Province to be able to capture institutional heterogeneity, which is important for comprehensive understanding of socioeconomic causes and consequences of land use changes.

Abstract

A key design element of the proposed international carbon market is the commodification of carbon sequestered by forests. The proposed research explores the social aspects of commodifying carbon through a case study of a REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) project being piloted in Indonesia. The proposed research investigates: (1) the varying perceptions of forests and how these are influenced by commodification and (2) the representation of forest-dependent communities in REDD deliberations and the potential socio-economic influence of commoditizing CO2 on local people.

Research Objective: To better understand the social dimensions of assigning economic value to ecosystem services.

Location: During my research on REDD+ in 2012 I will be based in Bogor, Indonesia at the Institut Pertanian Bogor and the Center for International Forestry Research’s Headquarters. My research will be conducted in Bogor, Jakarta, and at a REDD+ pilot project in Kalimantan. I will make a decision on which REDD+ project in Kalimantan in conjunction with IPB, CIFOR, and relevant government agencies, and will keep RISTEK/KRT informed..

Methodology: I will gather data on the perspectives of international institutions, government agencies, non-profit organizations, private sector businesses, and forest-dependent communities who are involved in REDD. I will explore the proposed topic using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods. Archival data will include project reports, forest management plans, minutes from REDD meetings, and agreements resulting from REDD. Primary data will be gathered using methods of participant observation, focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and surveys. To analyze the qualitative data on forest perspectives of various stakeholders, I will develop preliminary coding schemes based on literature (such as aesthetic, cultural, market, subsistence, species conservation, and environmental services), but for the most part will use an open-ended inductive approach to allow interviewees’ own categories to emerge. Variations within and between stakeholder groups will be compared. Using this same method I will explore if and how people’s perceptions change with the commodification of CO2 sequestration.

Abstract

As a response to high international prices oil palm plantations have expanded rapidly in Indonesia, which is now the world’s leading producer of palm oil. On the one hand, this land use transformation towards more intensively managed land use systems offers unique opportunities to increase the incomes of local families and to spur economic development in the region. On the other hand, oil palm plantations often replace more complex land use systems like forest and jungle rubber that preserve a larger share of biodiversity and fulfill important ecosystem functions (Feintrenie and Levang 2009).

In recent years, payments for ecosystem services have been implemented increasingly in developing countries to promote conservation objectives and reward farmers for sustainable land uses (Jack et al. 2008). In many cases, they have fallen short of the expectations with respect to conservation objectives given that transaction costs related to the implementation and monitoring of the project can be substantial. One potential option to overcome high transaction costs associated with many small landholders is using collective enforcement mechanisms (e.g. collectively bundled contracts as being tested in a program in Costa Rica) (Wunder 2007). Yet, the use of collective mechanisms raises concerns on whether the land conserved is fragmented into small areas that are too small to sustainably provide ecological functions. Parkhurst et al. (2002) propose the use of an agglomeration bonus to promote the conservation of biodiversity by reuniting fragmented habitat across private land. There is an increasing body of literature studying experimentally how different institutional mechanisms



affect conservation and land use decisions (Ehmke and Shogren, 2008; Ibanez and Martinsson 2007). While economic incentives can be effective in promoting conservation, Cardenas et al. (2000) show that external regulations can crowd out local cooperation. Alternatively, collective incentive mechanisms such as threshold public goods have been suggested (Croson et al 2008). Our proposed research contributes to this literature by studying how identity (origin of the village) influences the effectiveness of different incentive mechanisms. Our work is closely related to the work of Carpenter and Cardenas (2005) who study how heterogeneity in group affiliation (here: nationality) affects contributions to different conservation funds. Besides, building on Tisdell and Wilson (2006), we consider that the knowledge about environmental functions of different land use systems is likely to influence conservation decisions. Hence, this study aspires to test the effects of village composition, different compensation mechanisms, and environmental education on land allocation and contribution to conservation activities.

Abstract

Deforestation of tropical rainforest has caused carbon dioxide increese.Infertile soils including strong acidic soils are widely distributed in Indonesia. About 7% of the country of Indonesia is considered as infertile soils (strong acid soils) land and these lands are unused.According to economic development, coal ashes disposed as waste are expected to increase in Indonesia.

Purpose:

The purpose of this project is to avoid the deforestation by creation of an alternative land.First, the coal ash from power plant is processed into soil improvement product by Japanese technology. Infertile soils (strong acid soils) are improved using the soil improvement product. Deforestation is avoided by using soil improvement land.

This project involves a survey for REDD+ under consideration for a new international framework to cope with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction. The survey, which includes the following activities, aims to study the feasibility of GHG emission reduction in the host country, Indonesia. It also evaluates the co-benefit effect such as countermeasure against global warming and protects deforestation measure in Indonesia.

Abstract

A main goal of the CRC is to address how changes in species diversity across the rainforest transformation gradient result in changes of ecological and socio-economic functions (see Focus



1). Generally, projects in the first phase of the CRC focus on the consequences of lower diversity in transformation systems compared to tropical lowland forest. In contrast, this scientific project (SP) will address consequences of changing diversity in the opposite direction by experimentally increasing tree species diversity in ecologically depleted oil palm plantations thus contributing significantly to Focus 4 of the CRC. The overarching question of this SP thus addresses whether biodiversity and ecological functions can be restored by enrichment planting and what are the associated socio-economic implications. The proposed experiment will systematically vary the species richness and identity of trees planted in gaps within oil palm plantations (i.e. gap enrichment). At the same time, a household-level survey will be implemented in the vicinity of the experiment to collect information on the current use of tree species and the farmers’ willingness to accept compensation for planting trees within their oil palm plantations. Under this framework, we will address the effects of diversity and identity of initially planted species as well as distance to forest on the successional trajectory and associated biodiversity and ecosystem functions. This longitudinal study will span the planned 12 years of the CRC. Based on the data collected in the socio-economic household survey, we will investigate the constraints to and impacts of enrichment plantings and contribute to the design of payments for ecosystem services programs to motivate more sustainable land uses. The primary goals of this SP in the first phase of the CRC are the establishment of the experimental plots, monitoring of early successional colonisation, and the socio¬economic survey and data analysis. In subsequent phases of the CRC, the plots of the enrichment plantings will be available for the other projects of the CRC to become a central part of the CRC.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of birds and arthropods

The Master student will focus on ecological succession in specific animal groups (birds and arthropods) from the tropical lowland rainforest (Harapan Rainforest) to the oil palm plantations.

To evaluate the ecological success of gap enrichment planting, in the first stage, this subproject will carry out a background survey of biodiversity on the lowland forest plots of the Harapan Rainforest and the oil palm plantations surrounding the experimental plot. This background survey will include birds and invertebrate species from different herbivorous and predatory groups (collaboration with Z2). Bird communities will be assessed by point counts. Invertebrate communities are sampled by fogging of individual trees (see Z2 for details). The faunal composition of oil palm plantations and lowland forests represent the baseline and benchmark systems against which the longitudinal data from the enrichment gaps will be compared during the 11 years following the establishment of the plots.

(G.1) Economic Growth and Structural Changes in Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji pertumbuhan ekonomi dan perubahan struktural di Indonesia dengan melebarkan rentang model teori neoklasik tradisional, yakni dengan memasukkan faktor “efficiency growth”

Abstract

Economic growth is inevitably uneven in its subnational impacts. Some regions grow faster than others do. This especially holds true for large, spatially diverse Southeast Asian nations; a few examples of uneven growth can be observed in the significant interregional income gaps between Java Island and off-Java islands in Indonesia, between West and East Malaysia, between Bangkok and the rest of Thailand, and between the northern and southern parts of Vietnam.

The standard neoclassical economics literature that analyzes interregional growth disparities considers two sources: the increase in factor inputs and productivity growth. However, the following issues have been empirically examined with the regional data constraints: the extent to which factor input has contributed to regional/national economies and the extent to which interregional factor mobility has contributed to regional/national economies.

In order to fill this gap, this research extends the traditional neoclassical model to include another source of economic growth—efficiency growth—which is attributed to interregional allocation of factor inputs from low-productivity to high-productivity regions. The research



empirically applies this conceptual framework to province-level panel data for Indonesia for 1986-2007, estimated in my previous study. The Indonesian economy was chosen because, since Indonesia’s independence, the country considers interregional income inequality an important political issue, given its insular geography and large population—now the fourth largest in the world—as well as its extraordinary economic, demographic, cultural, and historical diversity.

To achieve this objective, I develop a decomposable national growth equation, which consists of the following four components: (i) input factor growth, (ii) biased technical growth, (iii) neutral technical growth, and (iv) efficiency growth. This equation is derived from two empirical results: (i) estimation results in the province-level regional production functions that incorporate time-trend variables and (ii) the Pareto-optimal interregional allocation of the factor inputs, where the national welfare is maximized.

The application of this analysis can be extended to other Asia-Pacific economies such as Japan. Additional factual findings on the source of national economic growth and the interregional growth inequalities at different development stages could contribute to further discussions on understanding policy implications in various economies.

This empirical research can provide seminal results in terms of policy relevance, contemporary focus, and comparative research on Southeast Asian issues. The results will be appropriately presented at an in-school seminar, an international conference, and in an academic journal and will contribute to the excellent reputation held by your school.

(G.2) The Effects of Nonfarm Employment on Rural Economy - Case Study in Javanese Villages

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of nonfarm employment on Javanese rural economy and to demonstrate policy implications for poverty reduction and rural development policy.

This study includes three issues to achieve the objective: the effects of nonfarm employment on income inequality within rural village, the effects of nonfarm employment on farmers’ production and investment behavior, and the factor of rural residents’ occupational choice and occupational strategies.

The progress of economic development in Indonesia affects not only urban areas and industrial sector but also rural areas and agricultural sector. One of the major factors of economic development that affect rural areas is the increase of nonfarm employment inside and outside rural areas. Traditional nonfarm employments in rural areas include agricultural hired labor, small business such as small shop or merchant of vegetables, civil servants. However, recently, with an increase of the demand for labor in urban areas and around rural areas, housekeeper, factory worker, and construction workers outside the rural village has been increasing. Those recent nonfarm employments give the workers high salaries compared to traditional nonfarm jobs. Some villagers can earn from nonfarm employment as much as from large-scale farming. Therefore, it is considered that the increase of nonfarm employment lead to improve the income of rural residents, and can be an important opportunity for them to escape poverty.

The features in Javanese rural areas include the high population density, the low rates of farm land per capita, and the existence of many smallholders and landless households. In the rural villages, there are not only farmers but also landless households who engaged



in agricultural hired labor, and various small businesses which are related to agriculture and nonagricultural activities. There arc also farmers whichhave the farm land, but they do not have enough land to feed their families, therefore, must engage in nonfarm employment. In general, large landholders are ranked in the top of the economic stratifications in Javanese rural villages. Conversely, smallholders and landless households are ranked in the bottom of the economic stratifications, in other words, they are the poor household in Javanese village. Considering the high population density and the low rates of farm land per capita, not only agriculture, but also nonfarm employments have an important role to improve the incomes of subsistence farmers and landless households who are poor and to decrease the poverty rates in rural villages.

On the other hand, it is possible to think that the increase in nonfarm employment does not necessarily lead to poverty reduction in rural villages. This is because the villagers are sometimes required the sophisticated human capitals such as high education and professional career to get a high-wage nonfarm employment. In such situations, it is considered that relatively wealthy household can afford to invest their human capitals and can get lucrative nonfarm jobs, while the poor household can’t engage in such jobs because they don’t have enough money to invest their human capitals. In this case, even if the lucrative nonfarm employment can increase the average income in the rural villages, substantial poverty don’t decreased and furthermore economic inequality within the villages worsen. To reduce the substantial poverty in rural areas, it is necessary for the poor to engage in the lucrative nonfarm job. These suggest that an increase in nonfarm employment has the potential to lead to not only poverty reduction in rural areas, but also positive or negative impact on economic disparity in rural areas.

In Indonesia, many people reside in rural areas, and many rural residents remain poor (19.93 million peoples in rural areas and 11.10 million people in urban areas stay under the poverty line in 2010 (BPS(2010))). To reduce the poverty and economic disparities in the whole country of Indonesia, it’s essential to solve the problem in rural areas. Nonfarm employments are considered to have possibilities for dealing with that problems, however its effects are still uncertain. In this study, I analyze the impact of nonfarm employment in rural Javanese economy, and show policy implications for poverty reduction and rural development in Java. Java region is the center of economic and social activities and has highest population in Indonesia. And Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world. Therefore, this study will contribute not only to economic and social stability in Indonesia but also to the stability of the economy in the world.

The main purpose of this research is to identify and analyse the Indonesian economic development in Post Soeharto era.The key questions to be asked in my research are the following*

a) How should we understand recent economic development in Indonesia, althoughthe world economy’s stagnant?

b) What are the factors which have been promoted this economic development inpost-Soeharto Indonesia?

c) How should we take these factors in the context of the Pancasila philosophy?

d) How would this “Pancasila economy” be in the future?

By answering these questions, my research aims to figure out the factors of economic development in Post Soeharto Indonesia.

Methodology and Concept

This research applies the integrative approaches of economicdevelopment in Indonesiaand area studies. I will probe into the economic development in Indonesia interviewing with the business managers in the Corporations, the Governmental companies (BUMN) and some private companies. Those are the important elements of Indonesian economy. And interviewing with

Abstract

This SP analyses the role which export-oriented value chains play for the welfare of smallholders active in rubber and palm oil production at different scales. More specifically, the following topics will be at the focus of the research:

• Analysisofproductiveefficiencyofsmallholders inoilpalmandrubbertransformationsystems.

• Analysisofthevaluechainforpalmoilandrubber,inparticularattheinterfacesbetweensmallholders, traders, and local processors.

• Integrationbetween internationalandregional rubber/palmoilmarkets,especially theimpact of international and local policies in the area of bio-energy on local markets (including feedback relationships).



An integrated perspective along the supply chain will allow us to Identify major economic drivers and institutional arrangements which have important implications for land use changes. The expected results will contribute to the development of methodological approaches to address the assessment of the trade-offs between economic and ecological functions of alternative transformation systems. Furthermore, the SP will contribute to the development of political measures that support more sustainable transformation systems.


Technical and environmental efficiency of smallholder palm oil and rubber production

• H1: Differences in technical efficiency between smallholders within the sametransformation system aswell as differences in the distribution of technical efficiencybetween different transformation systems are substantial.

• H2:Differencesinenvironmentalefficiencybetweensmallholdersaresubstantial,andthebest-practice frontier functions between the transformation systems differ along intensity gradients.

The household survey information will be used to estimate a multi-output production technology for the sampled smallholders, with specific focus on palm oil and rubber production. The estimation of a frontier production function (possibly extended to accommodate multiple outputs in a distance function framework (e.g., Brummer et al. 2003, Brummer and Glauben 2004) will allow to estimate technical efficiency, and to identify the determinants of the observed inefficiencies. In particular, the effects of institutional arrangements, such as land rights, and the extent of vertical integration on farm-level efficiency measures will be analysed.

Mitra Kerja : IPB (Prof. Dr. Rina Oktaviani)

Abstract

Objectives

(1) Analysis of the value chain for palm oil and rubber, in particular at the interfaces between smallholders, traders and local processors.

Hypotheses:

• Product prices (and hence economic outcomes) for smallholders depend crucially onthe specific organisation of the local value chain

• The functioning of the local value chains depends on the institutional arrangementswhich govern the interactions between the economic agents

(2) Integration between international and regional rubber/palm oil markets, especially theimpact of international and local policies in the area of bio-energy on local markets(including feedback relationships)

Hypotheses:

a) International market developments are important drivers for the developments inthe value chain for oil palms and rubber, moderated by national and regional policyenvironments

b) Trade costs are substantial and induce substantial gaps between prices at the borderand at the smallholder level

Work plan

For the analyses of the regional value chain, an interview-based trader survey will be carried out. This survey will be conducted in those villages, where the household survey of my research partner will take place. In these villages, all local middlemen and small traders will be interviewed. Rubber oriented villages show the most complex local trading schemes,



with up to 15 local middlemen and traders. On average, I expect that in each of the 40 villages about 7 interview partners will be interviewed, leading to a sample size of about 280. Based on the information gained from the interviews, I expect about 70 larger local traders and regional stockholders for rubber to be identified and interviewed, so that the total sample will consist of 350 observations.

The questionnaire for the trader survey will collect information on the involvement of the middlemen in palm oil and rubber marketing. The regional rubber value chain is of particular interest: Field visits revealed that the linkages between smallholders and middlemen are far more complex than a simple supplier-buyer relationship. Frequently, middlemen grant long-term credit to the farmers at nominally zero interest rate. They recover their refinancing cost (including profit) by differentiating the price they pay for the delivered rubber. The actual sources of refinancing are often larger (regional) traders, where again no nominal interest rate is part of the credit agreement. These complex institutional arrangements turn the true capital costs elusive so that credit markets are likely to be incomplete and inefficient. The interviews will capture the full complexity of these arrangements at the various levels.

The data for the trade flow and price transmission analyses will be based on secondary data. Regional, national and international statistical agencies collect a multitude of price information at various levels. The trade flows for palm oil (crude and refined) and rubber products will be obtained from Global Trade Information Services (GTIS) at the HS six digits level (palm oil: HS 151110,151190, rubber HS 40011x). Information on relevant policy instruments (e.g., export taxes) will be obtained from provincial and national authorities. In combination, quantity and price data will allow for a comprehensive assessment of the integration of the regional and international markets for palm oil and rubber.

(H.1) Geomorphology and environmental history of Lombok Island

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan rekonstruksi sejarah lingkungan Pulau Lombok serta hubungannya dengan aktivitas volkanik Gn. Rinjani

Bidang Penelitian : Geografi

Abstract

The signatures of many famous eruptions that occurred in the Tropics, such as Tambora (1815) and Krakatau (1883), have been identified in polar ice core archives of sulphate and tephra deposition. Many more eruptions are evident in the glaciochemical records but have yet to be associated to a particular volcano. Obviously many volcanic sources of such large eruptions are on Indonesian origin. Yet this country hosts many poorly-studied volcanoes whose eruptions have had far-reaching repercussions. Two criteria allow identifying such eruptions: first, a large caldera, second a huge amount of pyroclastic deposits, especially pumices. One of these poorly studied volcanoes in Indonesia is the Mount Rinjani in Lombok Island.

Objectives

The goal of this study was to reconstruct the recent environmental history of Lombok Island and its relation to historical volcanic activity of Mt Rinjani.



Local research description

Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Barat or NTB) province, Indonesia. It forms part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east. It is roughly circular, with a “tail” (Sekotong Peninsula) to the southwest, about 70 km across and a total area of about 4,725 km² (1,825 sq mi). The entire island is covered by pumice (batu apung) probably originated from the Mount Rinjani.

Methods

A total of 130 outcrops of pyroclastic deposits were studied. These were found in natural exposures and quarries. The field analysis revealed a complex stratigraphy with an alternation between Plinian and phreatoplinian episodes before a major phase of pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). We collected 32 samples from the PDC deposits and 29 from the pyroclastic fall deposits, of which six belong to the F1 Plinian phase, two to the F2 phreatoplinian phase, and five to the F3 Plinian phase.

In addition, a total of 26 charcoal samples were collected from the pyroclastic deposits, of which 12 were dated by the 14C method. These samples were taken from the lower part of the PDC unit, within a pyroclastic surge deposit S1, or at the base of the Plinian F1 deposit.

Geophysical surveys using sismic refraction geoelectric methods were carried out upon the ignimbrites, in collaboration with scholars of the University of Mataram and the Gadjah mada University.

Abstract

We propose a joint airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) campaign in Indonesia using the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) airborne SAR system (Polan’metric and intcrferometric airborne SAR in L-band type-2 called “Pi-SAR-L2”) between JAXA and Indonesian collaborators, i.e., Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN), and National Mapping Coordinating Agency (BAKOSURTANAL). The main objective of this campaign is to verify the potential use of SAR satellites (i.e. Advance Land Observing Satellite (ALOS), ALOS-2, and Indonesian future satellites) for environmental monitoring and mapping. This campaign focuses on the following four themes: (1) forest carbon monitoring, (2) ship detection, (3) disaster monitoring, and (4) SAR data geometric evaluation. The research areas arc located at Riau province (for forest monitoring), Malacca strait or Sunda strait (TBD, depending on security clearancefor ship detection), Krakatau and Gamalama (for disaster monitoring), and around Jakarta (for geometric evaluation). Pi-SAR-L2 data over the research areas are planned to obtain from three airborne SAR flights during June to July 2012.

Abstract

There are many pathways out of poverty for rural people, some quicker than others. For most rural people, the primary choice for development is to remain in the village and try to improve their life there, or migrate to another location. Migration can be temporary or permanent, involving one member of a household or the entire household. Why do people make thedevelopment choices that they do? What enables and prevents people achieving their own development goals? And, how can planning and development interventions help people to overcome these obstacles? To answer these questions, the research will build on methods used in the analysis of multifunctional landscapes. Multifunctional landscapes are theplaces where natural and social systems interact, affected by natural and social processes at multiple



scales. Although the landscape promises an integrated approach, most commonly it is used to explain the effects of social systems on the natural environment. The focus of this research, in contrast, seeks to understand how people’s development choices can be explained using the landscape scale as a unit of analysis, in this case, the village and its territory.

The research will take place in Buton Island, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. One coastal village and its territory will be selected from each district in Buton (Buton, North Buton and Bau Bau City). The livelihoods of people in these landscapes typically involve a mixture of agriculture, mariculture, agroforestry and fishing.

The research willconduct surveys and interviews at the household level to determine livelihood activities including migration, income and expenditure, as well as the development goals and aspirations of villagers. Livelihood activities, as well as plots and maricultural areas and their composition, will be to linked to their place on the landscape and seascape, including components and their functions. The data will be entered into a Geographical Information System, via an application on an IPad. Additional interviews will be conducted with people who have migrated, permanently or temporarily from the landscape. Via this data, it will be analysed what are the main factors that affect and determine people’s development choices. From these analyses, the main determinants of choices will be explored further using a mixture of methods.

The outcomes of the research will inform spatial planning (Rencana Tata Ruang Desa andRencana Tata Ruang Wilayah) and socioeconomic planning (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah) processes, particularly at the village and district levels, as well as providing innovative and cost effective tools for government and other organisations engaged in planning, conservation and development. In particular, the research will provide answers to the structure and causes of people’s development choices. The research will also provide simple tools for mapping livelihoods and choices, and identifying intervention points for improving the lives of rural people living in coastal areas.

Abstract

The project focuses on the questions how historical layers of settlement, land use and population structure determine the current cultural landscape and the rural livelihood systems. The exploitation of the natural resources in Jambi province started with Dutch colonial rule in the beginning of the 20th century, and was continued after independence (1945), especially by rubber production. During the 1970s another period of change started with roads, commercial logging and transmigration projects, followed by the expansion of oil palm production. Indonesia was ruled a long time by authoritarian regimes under which natural resources have been exploited centrally. But in the course of the ongoing reform era (since 1999) with its democratization and decentralization of power through local and regional autonomy, the utilization of natural resources is no longer dominated by the national action arena alone. At present, various interest groups from all decision levels are struggling for access to natural resources arid for power over landscape exploitation and protection (= drivers of landscape transformation). These so-called stakeholders, i.e. state owned enterprises, private companies, government institutions, non-government organizations, village communities and powerful clans determine the politics of local transformation leading to recent forms of fragmented land use and de-gradation. To explain the historical transformation processes in

Jambi province the analytical framework of political ecology will be used, particularly emphasizing on approaches of environmental entitlements, social vulnerability and on conflict theories. This conceptual framework is based on a historic geographical approach on conditions and ramifications of land use change. With respect to methodology, quantitative and qualitative approaches will be used and applied to the political ecology perspective on human-environmental interactions. We will generate our data by reviewing literature and archives, applying village case studies, household case studies, and stakeholder questioning by semi-structured interview techniques, focus group interviews and Participatory Rural Appraisal tools. The files and transcripts will be exploited by content analyses.


The main objective is to identify regional idiographic and nomothetic aspects determining the cultural landscape transformation in the study regions Harapan Rainforest (HRF) and Taman Nasional Bukit Duabelas (TNBD). The focus is on the questions how historical layers of settlement, land use and population structure determine the current cultural landscape and the living conditions of rural population in Jambi Province. The historical drivers of land use change will be highlighted by focusing on a regional analyses of demographic development (population structure, migration, ethnicity), settlement patterns and political conditions for five different time periods: pre-colonial period, colonial period, Soekarno era, Soeharto era,



reform era, and on physical geography aspects concerning regional and local accessibility and variations of land use over time.

Abstract


1. Determination of the role of formal and informal credit institutions and networks on sustainable rural livelihoods

2. Examination of impacts of land use changes and rural institutions on income and income distribution



3. Examination of impacts of land use changes and racial differentials on dietary pattern and calorie intake


The overall goal of the research project is to understand the livelihood impacts of the recent land use changes and associated institutional conditions (land rights, contracts, social networks etc.) in the lowland rainforest areas of Sumatra. The main unit of observation is the rural household. We will cany out an interview based survey of 700 farm households from randomly selected 40 villages, in addition to the villages where the 32 core sites are located (Harapan rainforest and Taman Nasional Bukit Duabeles). The sampling procedure will enable us to capture the cultural and institutional diversity in the project region. The survey questionnaire for the facc-to-face interviews will capture the details on land use changes, agricultural production (plot-level) and other economic activities, sources of inputs and outlet of farm products, and comprehensive food and non-food consumption pattern. We will also try to identify easy-to-observc indicators that can proxy biodiversity and other ecological functions in managed transformation systems. The household level data will subsequently be subjected to econometric analysis to gain insights and develop statements of appropriate institutional design to promote efficient and equitable outcomes.

Research location

The research will implement in Jambi Province in Sumatra, with the fastest and most complete transformation of tropical lowland rainforest. The primary data will be collected from the randomly selected 40 villages of Jambi, in addition to the 100 villages from the two landscapes within the Province, which have been chosen for the CRC research comprising large units of lowland rainforest: National Park Bukit Duabelas and Harapan Rainforest. From these two landscapes, 32 sites will constitute die core sites and micro level data will be collected from the households from the villages associated with these sites.

(I.1) Seismic Stratigraphy of the Toba Caldera, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji keberadaan sedimen di Danau Toba yang dapat memberi gambaran kejadian-kejadian geologi dan mekanisme evolusi kaldera serta kejadian-kejadian hidrologis yang terjadi selama 74.000 tahun terakhir

Abstract

Lake Toba, the largest caldera lake in the world, formed following a super-volcano eruption 74,000 years ago in northern Sumatra. Besides its notoriety as Earth’s largest recent volcanic eruption, this eruption has been implicated in global climate change, glacial advances, and the evolution of modern humans. An explosive eruption produced a 100 x 30 x 2 km caldera whose floor is now mostly covered with up to 500 m of water. Recently, we conducted a bathymetric survey of Lake Toba that revealed structural aspects of (he caldera, identified sedimentological and volcanic features on the lake bottom, and resulted in construction of a modern bathymetric map. Based upon this work and studies at other caldera lakes, we expect a thick sequence of lake sediments, recording nearly 74,000 years of sedimentation, to lie beneath the lake. This proposal seeks funds to support a seismic reflection profiling study at Lake Toba that will image this extensive sedimentary record and provide insights into geologic events and mechanisms of caldera evolution, sub-lacustrine volcanic hazards, long-term sedimentation, and dynamic hydrologic events over the past 74,000 years. Our study will use a sub-bottom profiler to collect seismic profiles across the lake, and target areas of interest identified within the existing



bathymetric database. We anticipate that this study will guide a future lake sediment coring program that will allow detailed environmental reconstructions during the final pulse of cooling and eventual emergence from the last glaciation, and possibly document the arrival of humans into northern Sumatra.

Abstrak

The earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS), LIPI, and colleagues are involved in a number of ongoing scientific and geological hazards-related research projects in Sumatra that require regular, repeated visits to various locations in and near Sumatra. In addition to scheduled visits that are sometimes a few months apart or less, there is a need to respond quickly following large earthquakes, such as the Mentawai earthquake and tsunami of October 2010: after any



large earthquake, it is highly desirable that scientists, such as ourselves, visit the region affected very soon after the event, because (a) observable markers that provide crucial information degrade rapidly with time, and (b) we wish to make a forecast for future earthquake hazards as soon as possible after any large earthquake.

For these reasons, we wish to secure year-long (annually renewable) multiple-entry research visas for each EOS scientist who will be making frequent trips to the field or who is likely to be needed in the field following such an event. If these visas can be acquired in advance , then all EOS personnel who might be involved in such work can deploy into affected areas within hours to days following a natural disaster, instead of waiting weeks to months for a research visa to be procured, as has been necessary in the past. In that way, we can avoid delays that can significantly hamper our efforts to understand what has happened and that can limit our ability to forecast what may occur in the future. In addition, it will ease the burden on both the EOS scientist and our LIPI sponsors, for those EOS scientists who need to make frequent trips to the field.

In this proposal, we summarize projects that are anticipated in the coming year. Following the proposal, we attach, as appendices/ supporting material, complete proposals for each project-

Sumatran Tectonic Geodesy

We propose to investigate 5 aspects of the tectonic behavior of the Sumatran section of the Sunda plate boundary, using Sumatran GPS Array (SuGar) data. (1) what are the slip rates and locking depths of the Sumatran fault? (2) what is the behavior of the megathurst updip of the great 2005 and 2007 ruptures? (3) what is the behavior of the 100-km section of the mega thrust between the 2004 and 2005 ruptures? (4) How is the Mentawai patch behaving now, prior to its anticipated great rupture? And (5) what are the long-term post-seismic responses to the recent great Sumatran ruptures? This research involves installation and maintenance of GPS stations.

Abstract

Volcanic emissions are considered as telegrams from Earth’s interior - if the messages can be Intercepted and Interpreted, they can be used to aid in forecasting and prediction of volcanic activity. Many investigators have developed and applied methods to measure the gas mixtures and emission rates from volcanoes, and to understand what controls these parameters. While volcano surveillance efforts still largely concentrated on seismological and geodetic approaches, volcanic emissions studies are widely recognized as important and highly desirable components of multidisciplinary monitoring. Increasing sophisticated remote sensing techniques are becoming available to measure volcanic emissions, including range of spectroscopic instruments than can be deployed from the ground. This proposal aims to quantify and monitor magmatic emissions from Indonesian active volcanoes. It will also focus on plume composition to infer into the subsurface manifestation, as well as evaluating potential hazards related to plume dispersal. Such investigations are likely to improve forecasting of volcano behavior with immediate benefits in mitigating the risks of eruption to society.

Abstract

Seismicity is the short-term precursory phenomena most frequently detected before a volcanic eruption, occurring as the Earth’s crust is distorted by magma pushing its way to the surface, and as fluids (magma, volcanic gas and/or hydrothermal fluids) move within faulted rock. The final approach to eruption is commonly preceded by accelerating occurrence rates of both high-frequency volcano-tectonic (VT) earthquakes and low-frequency (LF) events. These characteristic seismic signals are unique to volcanoes and associated with fluid movement. Improvement of seismic monitoring needs to better understand physical processes involved in generating LF earthquakes, VT-LF transition and their relation with eruptive dynamics.

During my stay in Indonesia, I propose to work mainly on 3 different scientific axes:

Abstract

Self-potential, ground temperature and degassing measurements help to detect the fluid and gas flow in the subsurface, delineate faults and fractures, permeable zones serving as preferential pathways for fluids. Zones of high diffuse degassing, high temperature and anomalous self-potential indicate zones of high hydrothermal activity. In most cases, theses methods serve to understand the geometry of hydrothermal circulation controlled by main geological structures. Practically, the measurements will be carried out along several profiles going from the base of a volcano to the accessible part of the summit region. The maps of soil temperature, carbon dioxide concentration of the soil gas, and self-potential will be created.



Another objective will be to identify potential monitoring sites and to supply arguments for the species/parameters to continuously monitor. A second part of my work is the participation in an installation of a multi¬parameter monitoring station for tilt, seismicity, natural electric fields and ground temperature variations in at a summit region of Merapi volcano.

(I.7) Climate and natural hazards in Australasia: A comprehensive impact analysis of prehistoric droughts, great earthquakes, and the Tobasuper-eruption

Abstract

This research program is designed to reconstruct the history of catastrophic droughts, great earthquakes, and volcanic disasters in southern Australasia to fully understand their ongoing impacts J’on human history.

Our primary aim is to answer key scientific questions that are central to Australasia’s ability to predict and adapt to climate change. Climate change scenarios indicate that Australia, in particular, may not fare well under enhanced greenhouse-gas forcing (IPCC AR4, 2007), and the signs are already not good where important Australian agricultural industries depend on reliable winter rain. While it is well known that rainfall in northern and eastern Australia tends to be below average during El Nino events (e.g. Stone et al., 1996; Dai and Wigley, 2000),



recent research has revealed a previously underestimated influence on winter rainfall in southern Australia from the tropical Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) climate system (e.g. Ashok et al., 2003; England et al., 2006, Meyers et al., 2007; Schott et al., 2009; Ummenliofer et al., 2009). Understanding the nature of the IOD is now urgent, given new evidence indicating that the frequency and magnitude of IOD events (and drought in southern Australasia) has increased rapidly over recent decades (e.g. Abram et al., 2008; Cai et al., 2009).

If the recent intensification of the IOD is a consequence of anthropogenic climate change, the need for human adaptation could be imminent and extensive as the IOD affects rainfall throughout the Indian Ocean region (e.g. Saji et al., 1999; Webster et al., 1999). IOD activity also appears to be inextricably linked to other major climatic features of Australasia; the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Australasian monsoon, and the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (e.g. Abram et al., 2008; Abram et al., 2009). Resolving how the Warm Pool and the interconnected IOD-ENSO-monsoon climate systems will change in the future requires palacociimatic records from a broader range of climatic regimes. Our key goal, therefore, is to improve understanding of recent and future changes in the IOD system by identifying how its variability, preferred (or mean) state and teleconnections respond to different background climates, including times of abrupt climate change.

Approach and methodology

The following research program will build strategically on our achievements in 2006-10 as a result of ARC Discoveiy grants DP0663227 (corals) and DP0663274 (speleothems). We envisage three synergistic research streams that, together, will efficiently (and economically) shed light on key research questions of great importance to Australasian societies.

Program 1. The IOD system and Australasian drought

The problem. Climate models currently provide little consensus when tasked with the question of how tropica! climate variability and preferred climate states will evolve in a warming world. Palaeoclimate records provide constraints that help to evaluate and improve climate models. At the same time, the interpretation and synthesis of palaeoclimate records is greatly enhanced through collaboration with climate modellers.

Our proposal will focus on reconstructing the history of IOD variability and preferred climate states over the last -200 ka using the powerful combination of geochemical tracers in speleothems and corals. The merging of these palaeoclimate records with climate modelling will further quantify our understanding of past and future climate. While the production of palaco-ENSO and Australasian monsoon records is well underway, the development of a comprehensive history for the IOD is still in its infancy, and major efforts to do this are centred



on our research group. The focused research approach described below will allow us to characterise the natural range of seasonal to millennial-scale IOD variability, and the response of the IOD system to different background climate states and abrupt climate changes at time-scales immediately relevant to society.

Program 2: Great earthquakes and coral palaeo-gcodesy

Program 3: Environmental impact of the Toba super-eruption

The problem. The Toba super-eruption -74 ka ago is the largest known Quaternary eniption, with an eruptive output of 2,800 km3 (Oppenheimer, 2002). A distinct sulphate (S04) peak in the GISP-2 icecore places the eruption at the beginning of an -1,000-year long cold interval (Zielinski et al., 1996), which has led to the hypothesis that SO4 aerosols associated with the eruption could have produced a long-term “volcanic winter” (Rampino and Self, 1992). A NASA-GISS ModelE simulation (with interactive chemistry) indicates that the earth cooled by ~18°C five years after the Toba eniption, and was still ~5°C cooler 20 years later (Robock et al., 2009). Furthermore, model simulations indicate that broadleaf evergreen trees (and tropical deciduous trees) largely disappearedfrom Earth’s surface during the Toba “volcanic winter” (Robock et al., 2009), and some 5palaeoclimate data support these results (Williams et al., 2009). The likely devastation of deep tropical vegetation across the -1% of Earth’s surface covered by Toba ash would have increased Earth’s albedo, and potentially produced a positive feedback for global cooling. At present, there are no precisely dated palaeoclimatc records with the decade-scale resolution required to seriously examine the impact of Toba on the tropics. We will examine multiple geochemical proxies in precisely dated speleothems to determine the exact timing and duration of the climatic and environmental impacts associated with the Toba super-eruption.

Abstract

This proposal for joint research between the Geological Survey Institute at Bandung and the University of Wollongong, aims at excavating Quaternary deposits on Flores and Sulawesi in order to obtain further information on the spatial and chronological distribution of fossils, stone artifacts, paleolandscape features and depositional processes at known and yet to be discovered new sites on these islands. Interdisciplinary surveys of the Soa Basin in Flores and the Walanea Basin in South Sulawesi, will better document the spatial and chronological distribution of paleolandscape features, sedimentary fades, resources, fossils and stone artifacts. This will be integrated with systematic collection of volcanic ash and lacustrine samples for chemical fingerprinting, sourcing, interpretation and high precision ages. The aim is to reconstruct the geomorphic, landscape and paleoenviromental historyof the basin in greater detail, to provide a context for the earlier excavations, and to identify further sites with potential to yield Middle Pleistocene hominin skeletal remains.The research is planned to take place during the period 2010-2013 for periods of up to three months



The Soa Basin in West Central Flores is a geological depression of c. 15 x 20 km wide, surrounded by active and inactive volcanoes. The basement of the basin is formed by a >100 m thick Late Pliocene sequence of massive volcanic breccias and agglomerates of the Ola Kile Formation. These breccias are overlaid by the up to 100 m thick sequence of the Ola Bula Formation. The contact between the two formations is unconformable and represents an erosional hiatus of c. 800.000 years. Geomorphological evidence suggests that the Ola Kile breccias were formed as the footslope deposits of a massive volcanic centre located at the northwestern margin of the Soa Basin, near Welas. Sometime in the past this volcano blew up and at present the eroded remnants form a caldera with a diameter of c. 5 km, and debouching into the Soa basin to the southeast.

The Ola Bula Formation can be divided in three members, from base to top: 1) Tuff Member, 2) Sandstone Member and 3) Limestone Member. Though with local variations, these three members can be recognised throughout most of the Soa Basin, though the basal Tuff Member may be lacking or is very thinly developed in areas where the basement forms an elevated topography.

From 1957 until the early 1970-ties excavations were carried out in the Soa Basin by the Dutch priest Theodor Verhoeven. Mata Menge was one of the localities that yielded fossil remains of an endemic Stegodon (S. florensis), a rat (Hooijeromys nusatenggara) in association with a simple palaeolithic stone tool assemblage (Maringer & Verhoeven, 1970; Sondaar et al., 1994; Morwood etal., 1997).

The age of the fossil and artefact-bearing layer at Mata Menge, stratigraphically situated near the transition between the Tuff Member and the Sandstone Member of the Ola Bula Formation, is constrained by two fission track dates, one on a sample taken from tuffaceous mudstone directly underlying the fossil- bearing layer and one from a white tuff at the top of the fossil-bearing layer. The dates of these samples were 0.88 ± 0.07 Myr BP and 0.80 ± 0.07 Myr BP, respectively (Morwood et al., 1998; O’Sullivan et al., 2001).

More recent work in the Soa Basin conducted between 2004 and 2008 by a joint Indonesian-Australian-Dutch team, has resulted in the discovery of an even older archaeological site, named Wolo Sege, which is located c. 520 metres east of Mata Menge. From additional fission-track and Ar-Ar dates throughout the Soa Basin it followed that the oldest stone artefacts discovered so far occur at the base of the Ola Bula Fm at 1 Myr BP at the site Wolo Sege (Brumm et al., 2010). This suggests that the maker of the stone tools arrived on the island before 1 Myr BP. So far no associated fossil fauna has been found at Wolo Sege, but the slightly younger site Tangi Talo (fission-track dated at 0.9 Myr BP) has yielded a fauna containing a very small pygmy Stegodon (S. sondaari), Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) and giant tortoise. All younger sites in the Ola Bula Formation contain the large to medium sized Stegodon florensis but lack giant



tortoise, suggesting that between 0.9 and 0.88 Myr BP S. sondaari and giant tortoise became extinct and a new Stegodon immigrant entered the island.

The age of the artefacts initially suggested that the maker was Homo erectus. Recently, fossil hominin remains have been discovered in the cave site Liang Bua in West Flores. The Liang Bua hominin, which has been named Homo floresiensis, was only 1 m tall and shows rather primitive traits, despite the relatively young age of ca. 18.000 yrs BP (Morwood et al, 2004; Brown et al. 2004). The very small brain volume (380 cc), developed brow ridges, small face and lack of chin, suggest a close relation to an early Homo erectus stock (Brown et al., 2004), though primitive features of the hand and foot bones (Tochieri et al., 2007; Jungers et al., 2009) may indicate an even earlier representant of the hominins as ancestor. Some researchers have claimed that the skeleton of LB1 (the holotype of H. floresiensis) represents a pathological individual of Homo sapiens, but since more anatomical studies have been completed recently, now most researchers agree that LB1 and the associated bones of additional individuals represent a distinct species ofhominin. The much older stone artefacts from the Soa Basin most likely were made by the ancestor of H. floresiensis, who had colonized the island of Flores at least by 1 Myr BP. Fossil remains of this presumed ancestor could clarify many aspects of the anatomical peculiarities encountered in H. floresiensis and would provide more adequate clues concerning its ancestry.

Homo floresiensis in Liang Bua is associated with Varanus komodoensis and the pygmy Stegodon florensis insularis, the latter though to have been derived from the Soa Basin Stegodon florensis florensis through a size reduction of 30% in linear dimensions (van den Bergh et al., 2008, 2009). Like other large mammalian island elements such as stegodonts, the Flores hominins may have been subject to the same evolutionary trend of size diminution or dwarfing often observed in island faunas. Both this Stegodon and H. floresiensis disappear in layers younger than the last glacial maximum, when anatomical modern humans appeared on Flores. With the onset of the Neolithic period newfaunal elements were introduced by these anatomically modern humans, such as pigs, macaques, porcupines and civets.

Aims of the project

So far no hominin fossils have been discovered in the Soa Basin, although the abundant stone artefacts represent proxy evidence for early hominin activity. The current project is scheduled to last for a period of 4 years until 2014. This project has been accommodated under the general MoU for cooperation between the Geological Agency of Indonesia and the University of Wollongong, Australia. The principal aims of the project are to:

• find insitu fossil remainsof themakerof theupto1Myroldstoneartefacts fromtheSoaBasin, who was the likely ancestor of Homo floresiensis.

Abstract

Despite the importance of the Indonesian Archipelago to modern and future global environmental change, little is known about its past. The Java Sea with its terrestrial deposits provide an excellent study area, which can be used as an example region to study the natural environmental (vegetation, climate, fire) variability and the anthropogenic impact (slash and bum, deforestation, Sand use) and its consequences. Innovative temporal high resolution mufti-proxy studies (pollen, spores, charcoal) will be applied on the same sediment samples from the Java Sea also used in the “paleoceanographic* (5.1) and “biogeddtemicaT (5.2) subprojects to reconstruct past environmental changes as an important contribution to the understanding of past, modem and future global changes in respect to the role of the human impact and ecological responses.

(I.11) Stability and maintenance of Pacific atoll islands in the context of global climate change

Abstract

Reef and atoll islands form the majority of habitable land area for island states such as Tuvalu, the Maldives, Kiribati and Samoa. Controlled by internal and external forcing mechanisms, the climate is supposed to influence the stability and maintenance of the unconsolidated reef islands. Hence, the effects of climate change such as global warming, sea-level rise and the increased frequency of extreme weathers are oftentimes regarded as key control-factor of island resilience.

During the last decades, several attempts have been undertaken to resolve future response of reef and atoll islands to environmental change. Investigations of reef island evolution as analogues for morphological trajectories are thereby of particular importance. The processes leading to sediment accumulations on reef substrate depend on the interplay between different variables, including sea-level changes, reef substrate development, wave



and current regimes and episodic storm surges. The exact evolution of reef islands however is still not well understood.

As a consequence of global warming, sea-level rise is considered to have potentially large impacts on low-lying reef islands, including shoreline erosion, the inundation of low-lying areas (usually in the central part of the islands sheltered by an oceanward and lagoonward ridge) and the saline intrusion into the freshwater lens. Some studies presume that sea-level rise entails the above-mentioned future impacts, whilst others suggest that some islands are able to persist. Obviously, more data is needed, as the question arises, to what extent sea-level rise affect the morphological resilience of reef islands.

In contrast to the effects of sea-level changes on island stability, there is no doubt that the rate of sediment supply controls island maintenance for both, areas of rising sea-level as well as for places where sea-level is falling. Hence, the impacts of ocean acidification and overfishing on the reef community are essential for future island resilience, because the sediments that build up reef and atoll islands derive entirely from the reef flat and coral reef environments and island construction is therefore directly linked to the health of the “carbonate factories”. However, in what way coral reef communities are able to adapt to ecological shifts is still a matter of debate.

Proposed methods of research

The long-term objective of my PhD studies is to improve the understanding of the effects of climate change that are inferred for low-lying islands located in tropical latitudes. During the envisaged fieldwork on Spermonde Archipelago (Sulawesi, Indonesia) I want to examine the morphology, stratigraphy and evolution of reef islands. The morphology will be determined by several transects across the individual islands and related to a datum of mean sea level. Along these transects, subsurface stratigraphy will be identified either from cores or from excavated pits. The land area (supra- and intertidal) will be mapped using a GPS. Furthermore, the different fades will be investigated. Samples from the island will be collected for sedimentological analysis and radiocarbon dating. Samples from the subtidalwill be collected using bottom samplers (Petersen-, Van Veen- and Smith&Mcintyre-samplers). At best, the reef flat development is recorded by microatolls allowing meto reconstruct the mid to late Holocene sea-level history. If availably, the collected samples will be compared with voucher material of different museums.

Because sea-level changes are considered as a key control on island stability by many authors, I want to install a permanent tide gauge station.

I have also some other ideas in mind, including the application of Ground Penetrating Radar to study the architecture of the shallow subsurface and the examination of the ocean surface topography using satellite altimeter data (e.g., TOPEX/Poseiden, Jason-1, Jason-2).



Investigations of alterations in the environment and how they are perceived in the context of global climate change is an issue of central importance. Finding a way to link socio-cultural knowledge with scientific investigations is therefore not only a great challenge, but also a unique opportunity of this project.

Abstract

Water is renewal natural resources with important roles in water supply for various needs. The vital role of water means that the utilization has to consider its balance and sustainability, in another word, environment friendly.

Nowadays, groundwater as one of water resources is a national problem which needs a real action to minimize the negative impact of groundwater exploitation. Groundwater management has to be applied wisely in accordance to law and technical aspects of groundwater knowledge. Activities such as inventory, utilization rules, permission, control, and supervision should be included in the management of groundwater, in order to achieve Sustainable Groundwater Use in Indonesia and in particular in Central Java.

To sustain the use of groundwater, stakeholders (i.e. groundwater resources users) have an obligation to understand the basic knowledge of groundwater, their characteristic and how to protect the sources of groundwater. Managers and users, with this understanding should not act against groundwater characteristic, to protect the groundwater to be utilized accordance to its function, economic values, and the environment.

In order to protect the sustainable use of groundwater in the East versant of Merapi volcano (Java), UGM (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) and Paris 6 University (France) promote an investigation to conduct an integrated geological survey, including topographic mapping, hydrology research, hydrogeology research, geo-electricity research, and Hydro-isotope research on this groundwater resources site. This study will be make during a phD program of a French student. Results of this survey should give important knowledge of hydrogeology condition, especially the delineation of the sources recharge area and the information about the infiltration rate of water on this recharge zone and the protection plan.

Abstract:

This research seeks to better understand the role of local communities, NGOs that representthese communities and the government in cases of addressing and regulating industrial waterpollution. Thereby the research wants to contribute to increasing the knowledge onsustainabiiity of the environment by analysing the legal and sociological context of pollutionproblems.

The research will primarily take place in Jakarta, where the legal and institutional framework of water pollution will be studied. Addressing and regulating cases of pollution takes place against the background of Indonesia’s environmental management laws, policies and practices. Therefore the research seeks to provide insights on the legal and institutional context of water pollution control. It analyses relevant environmental laws and regulations, and the regulating role of the government in environmental management. Furthermore, additional fieldtrips will be made to analyse three cases where problems of industrial water occur, namely in East Java, West Java and North Maluku.

Research indicates that the legal and institution framework regarding pollution control have improved over the last years, but that there remains room to become more effective. Currently, the people affected by pollution and organizations that represent them, such as NGOs, play a important role in the process to halt pollution problems. After they addressed the



problem, the government is likely to respond by facilitating in negotiations between the affected local communities and the industry that caused the pollution. During these negotiations, and when economic interests are at stake, environmental interests may easily lose priority.

The research takes place with the support of Indonesia counterparts, including Universitas Diponegoro, and the Indonesian Ministry of Environment.

(K.3) Eliminate Dengue Project in Yogyakarta (EDP-Yogya)

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengembangkan pendekatan kontrol biologis bebasis Wolbachia untuk memodifikasi populasi nyamuk dan mengurangi transmisi dengue ke manusia


Lama Penelitian : 12(dua belas) bulan mulai 2 Februari 2012


Mitra Kerja : dr. Abu Tholib Aman, M.Sc., PhD. - Fakultas Kedokteran UGM



Abstract

The Eliminate Dengue (www.eliminatedengue.com) research program aims to develop and trial an innovative, Wolbachia-based biological control approach to modify mosquito populations and reduce dengue transmission to humans. The project involves the introduction of a naturally occurring bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis into the Aedes aegypti (dengue mosquito) population. These symbiotic bacteria are naturally found in up to 75% of all insect species, including flies, beetles, butterflies and mosquitoes. Although Aedes aegypti is not naturally infected with Wolbachia, we have successfully transferred Wolbachia from the fruit fly, where they occur naturally, into Aedes aegypti mosquitoes (McMeniman et al, 2009). In Aedes aegypti, the effect of Wolbachia is to block dengue virus transmission without harming the mosquitoes (Moreira et al, 2009; Walker et al, 2011).

Wolbachia bacteria cannot grow outside of the insect host cell because they are obligate endosymbionts, and they are only maternally transmitted from mother to offspring. That is, they are transmitted through the egg cytoplasm. Wolbachia does not infect humans and is not transmitted through blood or mosquito bites (Popovici et al, 2010).

The Eliminate Dengue Project - Yogyakarta (EDP-Y), an international collaboration between Yayasan Tahija (YT), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) and Eliminate Dengue Program (EDP) led by Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, has the explicit goal of testing the technology in the Indonesian context. The project is divided into four (4) phases with Phase I commencing in September 2011 and running until March 2013. Project activities during Phase I include: Generation of local Indonesian mosquitoes that contain Wolbachia and monitoring and testing these mosquitoes under laboratory conditions to demonstrate dengue virus interference effects; Characterisation of up to five field sites throughout Yogyakarta as study sites for ongoing research activities,; Establishment and implementation of best-practice laboratory diagnostic methods for Wolbachia and dengue virus screening in Yogyakarta; Establishment of best-practice data management systems to enter, store and retrieve project related data; Community engagement in Yogyakarta to explain the eliminate dengue methodology, understand any community concerns and issues, and determine preferred engagement strategy of stakeholders; Engagement with health experts and policy makers from the Health Office, Yogyakarta Province, to determine the feasibility of potential releases of Wolbachia mosquitoes and integration with existing dengue prevention strategies; and Conducting a local Risk Analysis Assessment and obtaining approval from regulatory bodies to conduct Phase II research activities. Following on from completion of Phase I, Phases II to III will involve open field releases of Wolbachia in study sites and investigation of methods for large-scale implantation of Wolbachia technology.



In Yogyakarta, the project is led by UGM scientist dr. Eggi Arguni, Sp.A., M.Sc., Ph.D. and the EDP-Y project team is comprised of six units of local staff and unit managers. These include the management and administrative team (Project Manager, Financial Officer, and Administration Assistant), an Entomology Unit led by local senior entomologist, that is comprised of a Mosquito Rearing Unit (MRU) with two laboratory technicians, Field Entomology Unit (FEU) with 14 technicians, a Diagnostic Until (DU) with five laboratory assistants; a Community Engagement Unit (CEU) with six staff; and a Data Management and Mapping Unit (DMU) with four staff.

Overall, the EDP-Y will bring together Indonesian and international scientists to develop and evaluate a promising new approach to the prevention of dengue. If successful, this method may represent a cost-effective and sustainable method of preventing dengue disease in humans, not only in Yogyakarta, but also broadly throughout Indonesia and other countries where dengue is a problem.

The multi-discipline research component of Phase I research includes laboratory- and field-based entomology research to investigate the population biology of Aedes aegypti and other Aedes mosquitoes in Yogyakarta and to place Wolbachia in Indonesian mosquitoes. The diagnostic aspect of the research in Phase I will involve screening laboratory and field samples for Wolbachia.

The focus of my research in Indonesia is the laboratory- and field-based Entomology activities. All research was conducted in collaboration with the EDP-Y senior entomologist, Warsito Tantowijoyo, Ph.D., and with skilled support from the EDP-Y team.

Abstract

Research problem and objectives. Humans are capable of mentally projecting themselves into the past and future. Reminiscing about your last holiday, planning your next project, or picturing your future retirement years all involve what Suddendorf & Corballis {1997) have called mental time travel (MTT). We engage in these mental projections into the past and future with little effort. MTT could even be the human mind’s default ‘idle’ setting (Buckner &Carroll, 2007). Certainly it can prove a considerable challenge to disengage from MTT, as anyone who has ever attempted to practice meditation can attest to. Our social, cultural, and technological exploits depend heavily on MTT. An ability to foresee possible future scenarios undoubtedly confers a formidable adaptive advantage. What we do not yet know is how and when this ability develops and whether we share it with other species. Episodic memory -the faculty that enables us to mentally relive our personal past experiences - has been the focus of decades of research (e.g., Tulving, 1984; 2005). Interestingly, however, questions about the related ability to mentally ‘prelive’ our possible futures - or foresight - did not capture scientific imagination until very recently.

The field of comparative cognition has seen considerable effort devoted to identifying the capacities that humans share with other species, progressively narrowing the goalposts around what may be deemed uniquely human. Determining the cognitive capacities of our closest living relatives, the great apes (orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas), can offer insight into our evolutionary past and the phylogeny of the human mind. Archaeological evidence of stone tool manufacture and transport by Lower Paleolitliic hominins suggests that a faculty for MTT was evident at least 2 million years ago (e.g., Osvath & Gdrdenfors, 2005). Could the capacity be older still? MTT has been claimed as a uniquely human trait (e.g., Suddendorf & Corballis, 1997; 2007), yet empirical investigation into whether great apes share our capacity for foresight and episodic memory is very limited.

Much more is known about episodic memory in children. But only recently have researchers examined how and when foresight develops. This is surprising considering that application of this knowledge could confer significant educational benefits. Empirical evidence has been limited to a small number of research paradigms which have overwhelmingly involved verbal dependant measures. Verbal tasks not only rule out direct comparisons with non-human primates, but may underestimate the MTT skills of younger children (Hayne & Imuta, 2011).



To understand the emergency of foresight in childhood, as well as its evolutionary origins, a comprehensive comparative-developmental approach is required. To date no such work exists. Here, I propose to conduct the first program of research to directly compare the future-directed thinking of great apes and children.

This project aims to fill significant gaps in our knowledge about the origins and nature of foresight. My two major research questions are: (1) can great apes solve future-directed problems? and, (2) when can young children solve these problems? A truly comparative project, the series of studies I propose below does not rely on verbal ability and will therefore allow for a clean comparison between great apes and humans, as well as between children of different age groups.

Abstract

For centuries, plant biodiversity has provided fuels, medicines, materials for shelter, food and energy for human beings. Examples of utilization of plant biodiversity are varied and



the benefits derived are interconnected. It has been well known that Indonesia has very rich biodiversity resources due to the special geographical reasons and especially Indonesia contains a great number of plant diversity resources together with variety of traditional knowledge that have been extensively used as complementary medicine by the Indonesian population throughout long history. On the other hand KRIBB has been continuously trying to build up the ability and capacity in the area of natural product research. As a result KRIBB is capable of cooperating with many foreign research partners to produce better research results. Therefore in this project through the intensive cooperation between BPPT and KRIBB we anticipate there will be good possibility to be successful in development of high value added nutraceuticals or natural drug materials for the benefit of both countries.

(K.8) Novel strategies and tools for antimicrobial resistance surveillance

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan validasi, optimalisasi, dan implementasi penggunaan pengawasan resistensi antimokrobial berbasis LQAS (Lot Quality Assurance Sampling)



Daerah Penelitian : Sumatra Utara (RS Adam Malik / Universitas Sumatera Utara, RS Hasan Sadikin / Universitas Padjadjaran)

Mitra Kerja : Fakultas Kedokteran USU (Dr. R. Lia Kusumawati, MS, SpMK(K))

Abstract

Objectives: The central objective of this project is to validate, optimize and implement the use of LQAS-based AMR surveillance as a feasible strategy to timely inform local antimicrobial



stewardship activities and estimate overall AMR prevalence, supported by sustainable enhancement of microbiology capacity thjough a Telemicrobiology approach

Methods

Surveillance studies will focus on AMR against commonly used antibiotics in Escherichia coli and Klebsiellapneumoniae strains isolated from patients with community- and hospital acquired urinary tract infections(UTI). These pathogens are known reservoirs of resistance genes and well-established indicator organismsfor AMR surveillance.

Patients will be recruited from the two participating tertiary hospitals, Dr Hasan Sadikin General Hospital(Bandung) and H. Adam Malik Hospital (Medan), as well as from secondary hospitals and primary healthcare facilities in the same cities. Microbiology laboratory analyses from all sites will be performed at the twotertiary hospitals.

During the validation phase, conventional surveillance of AMR will be performed on urine samples fromconsecutive patients clinically suspected of UTI. Urine samples are cultured using standard methods andantimicrobial susceptibility against selected relevant antimicrobial drugs is determined by disk diffusionmethods. Demographic and clinical data, including antimicrobial use and clinical outcome, will be collected.

Beside validation and optimization of LQAS-based surveillance, results from conventional surveillance willalso be used to identify and evaluate clinical predictors of infection with resistant microorganisms. This willprovide further knowledge to feed guidelines for empirical treatment of UTI. Storage of isolated MDRmicroorganisms will allow more detailed (molecular) microbiological analyses of AMR.

Following the validation phase and fine-tuning of LQAS sample sizes, LQAS-based surveillance will beapplied in the same sites, and impact of LQAS-based surveillance results on empirical treatment guidelinesand practices will be determined. During the last phase, LQAS-based surveillance (supported byTelemicrobiology) will be implemented in two additional Indonesian hospitals if proven successful.

To support AMR surveillance and research activities, e-learning modules will be developed with particularfocus on topics relevant to the project, including UTI, AMR and antimicrobial susceptibility testing ofbacterial pathogens. Existing e-learning modules on more general topics related to micrctbiology andinfectious diseases, which were developed as part of the Dutch-Vietnamese Telemicrobiology project (seebefore), will also be translated into the Indonesian language.



Participating laboratories will be provided with eCamera’s and associated software to allow for digitalimaging of agar plates and standardized susceptibility testing using digital measurement of zone diameters.

Next to enabling interaction between project partners during web-based “virtual labrounds”, this will allowfor quality evaluation throughout the project. Storage of images will allow for external assessment ofsusceptibility results. The impact of Telemicrobiology on capacity enhancement and quality will bedetermined using quantitative and qualitative outcome measures, such as performance in knowledge testsand external quality assurance panels.

Location and duration of the research

This collaborative project will be executed at the the Hasan Sadikin Hospital/Padjadjaran University and H. Adam Malik Hospital/University of Sumatera Utara. In a joint decision between the collaborating partners, Academic Medical Center, Hasan Sadikin hospital and H. Adam Malik Hospital I have been assigned to Medan for 1 year and the tentative starting date is 1st of October 2012. My contribution will consist of providing assistance and support in setting up the project in Medan and help analyzing the data under supervision of Dr R. Lia Kusumawati. For my research I will use the facilities at H. Adam Malik Hospital.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: To prove that the Autologous Hepatocyte Matrix Implant as a novel method in tissue engineering for liver cirrhosis patients could improve their quality of life. Currently the phase 1 study is intended to show feasibility and safety of the procedure.

Place of the Study: The study is performed in RS Gading Pluit and Tarumanagara Human Cell Research Laboratory in Jakarta.

Material and Object in the Study: The method involves autologous hepatocytes and islet cells harvested from cirrhotic livers that are seeded on a matrix (scaffold) which later will be re-implanted into the patient’s small bowl mesentery. The hepatocyte islet implant has been proven in animal investigations to improve liver function and quality of life.

Method of the Study:

The Ethical Committee has given the approval for a phase I study in humans with ten patients. Out of 50 patients that were investigated for possible inclusion into the study, ten have been selected and hospitalized for further investigations. Seven chronic liver-diseased patients have been carefully selected according to the specific criteria of the study. Thorough physical examination, laboratory tests, and other supportive tests to calculate the Child-Pugh and MELD classification have been performed. The inclusion and exclusion criteria of the protocol that had been submitted to the Ethical Committee have been followed. All patients had a pre implantation period of at least last 3-6 months of clinical and laboratory values observation. During this period the patients did not gain any significant improvement despite of optimal conservative treatment.



The patients have been given complete information about the method and procedure of the study, the possible risks and benefits and allowed to consider joining the present study for minimum of 2 weeks before they have decided for their participation in the study. They all agreed and had signed informed consent statements.

After that, the patients were admitted to RS Gading Pluit for the autologous hepatocyte matrix implant procedure. They all had undergone 2 operations for with a 3 days interval and had been taken care in the hospital more than 3 weeks for recovery (which is a longer period than the estimated 2 weeks).

After they recovered and allowed to go home, the patients stay under supervision of their respective hepatologists, scheduled to have regular meetings 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 8 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months after the surgery with the team in the RS Gading Pluit. All expenses of the examination procedures will be covered by the study during the whole research period.

(K.10) Survey on the HIV knowledge Levels and Attitudes of Public Healthcare Workers in Bogor, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji tingkat pemahaman atas HIV/AIDS pada tenaga kesehatan serta perlakuan yang mereka terapkan pada pernderita HIV/AIDS

Bidang Penelitian : Ilmu Kesehatan

Lama Penelitian : 3(tiga) bulan mulai 22 November 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Barat (Bogor)

Mitra Kerja : Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bogor (drg. Dede Rukasa, M.Kes.)



Abstract

Aim: To assess HIV/AIDS knowledge levelsand attitudes of HCWs towards people living with HTV or AIDS in Bogor and to provide recommendations for future training programs.

Objectives 1. To review available literature on HIV knowledge and awareness among HCWs. 2. To measureHTV/AIDS knowledge levels among HCWs in Bogor, Indonesia. 3. Examineattitudes of public HCWs towards PLWHA. 4. To determine whether there are differences in knowledge and attitudes between socio-demographic variables and current position within the facility.5. To provide recommendations to the local MoH about the importance of HTV related training and its content.

Epistemological Approach

This study will use quantitative methods, adapting a positivist approach in which an objective stance from the phenomenon will be applied (Bruce et al., 2008). The study likewiseassumes that knowledge and attitudes can be measured and this explains why a quantitative approach was preferred. Limitations of this approach are that is does not explore the why of the level of knowledge and attitudes and this could be revealed with a qualitativestudy design.

Methods

Design:A quantitative population-based survey will be applied and close-ended,self-completed questionnaires, designed by Eckstein (1987) and used by Hassan &Wahsheh (2010) and Zadah et al (2012) will be used to assess HTV knowledge and attitudes. Sampling Frame and Sample Size:The sampling frame will be all 300HCWs employed at the 24PHCs in Bogor (doctors, nurses and midwives). All eligible HCWs who volunteer to participate will be included. Sample size is calculated according the formula for population proportion and since there are no previous studies from Indonesia, it is assumed that 50% of HCWs (total 300 for the whole city) will have a score of at least 50% on the HTV/AIDS knowledge score. The confidence interval was set at 95% and a 5% margin of error. This resulted in an ideal sample size of 169 calculated using OpenEpi (n.d.).To increase representativeness and to make up for non-responses, all 300 HCWs will be invited to participate in the study. Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria: All 24 PHCs in Bogor will be included as this will increase the generalizability of the resultsand allows for analysis of possible differences among geographical areas. All health Mips workers (doctors, nurses, and midwives) who volunteer to participate in the study will be included. Excluded from the study are employees of the HTV referral hospital and the private VCT testing sites. Although they detect and treat HIV cases, these are private institution and therefore inclusion will likely reduce the generalizability of the results.Recruitment of Participants: The researcher will arrange a meeting with the heads of the 24 PHCs to explain about the research and to decide on a



suitable day for data collection. The head of the infectious disease department will be invited to join this meeting as well in order to demonstrate collaboration between his department and the researcher. The heads will be asked to invite the HCWs to gather at their PHC on the date of data collection. Some of the PHCs operate one hour per day and therefore, asking the HCWs to gather, will likely increase the response rate. During the date of data collection the researcher will arrive and administer the informed consent procedure to the health workers. During the informed consent procedure, it will be made clear to the staff their participation is purely voluntary and those who refuse to participate will not suffer any negative consequences. No incentives will be provided for completing the questionnaire. Once informed consent is obtained, the questionnaires will be distributed, filled in and collected at the same day. The researcher will thus be present during data collection and is able to answer any questions HCWs might have. This will also minimize bias as HCWs do not get the opportunity to look up answers or discuss extensively with co-workers.

Data Analysis & Research Outcomes Data analysis will be carried out using SPSS software, version 19. Descriptive statistics will be used examine participants* socio-demographic variables (including age, gender, educational levels, etc.), knowledge, and attitudes. Chi-square statistics will be used to assess relationships between HIV/AIDS knowledge and attitudes and socio-demographic variables,geographical location, currentposition within the facility, etc. It is hoped that this study will reveal the level of HIV knowledge and attitudeof HCWs in Bogor. Results could be used to adapt training programs, according to the observed gap in knowledge and expressed attitudes.

Ethics

Ethical approval needs to be obtained from both the University of Liverpool and the Indonesian research institute before data collection can start. Informed consent will be asked to every participant and all personal identifiers will be coded to assure confidentiality and anonymity, and data will be kept for 5 years on completion of the study.

Costs

The total costs for this study are estimated to be 900 USD. (300 USD transportation and printing, 600 USD for research permit) and will be taken by the researcher.

Timeline

Sept 2012: proposal approval. Oct: ethical application and literature review. Nov: prepare visits, pilot-test questionnaire, chapter lay-out and introduction. Dec-Jan 2013: Data collection. Feb-March: data analyses, methodology, results and discussion chapters. April: prepare final draft and submit to DA. May 2013: Submit final dissertation.

The Indonesia-Japan collaborative project to establish the “Collaborative Research Center for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases” (CRC-ERID) has been approved and supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan, and now in progress since April 2007. CRC-ERID is established in Institute of Tropical Disease (ITD), Airlangga University, and the collaborative research will continue until 31st March 2014.

Dr. Masaoki Yamaoka who has been assigned to take a position of Associate Professor of Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine on April 1, 2008 will carry out studies on H5N1 avian influenza in Indonesia in collaboration with Dr. Chairul Anwar Nidom, the avian influenza project leader in TDC as well as the Vice Dean of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Airlangga University, and his colleagues. Since 2010, Dr. Yamaoka will carry out isolation of H5N1 viruses from chicken, pigs and other domestic animals using fertile hen’s eggs or MDCK cells in collaboration with new members of Indonesian researchers. In Indonesia avian influenza virus infection spreads among poultry and people. There is also novel H1N1 virus infection.



In these circumstances, there is always a possibility that recombination among these viruses takes place in pigs or humans and another novel influenza virus could appear. In Indonesia, where the surveillance system.has not been established, it is very important to carry out the influenza virus surveillance and to keep on sending out the information to the world in order to successfully observe and control the infection. Together with Dr. Laksmi Wulandari, and Dr. Resti Yudhawati of Dr. Soetomo National Hospital, we will establish four station hospitals in Surabaya and will carry out the seasonal influenza and novel influenza vims surveillance.

Abstract

Operation Wallacea has been supporting biodiversity research and conservation, in collaboration with its Indonesian and UK academic partners, on Buton and nearby islands of Sulawesi Tenggara since 2000. Over the past 12 years this program has evolved into a multidisciplinary research effort examining various aspects of biodiversity, forest conservation, ecology and management of forests on Pulau Buton, with particular focus upon the Lambusango and Kakenauwe Forest Reserves and surrounding forests (known collectively as the Lambusango Forest Management Area, LFMA).

The project has evolved over the years to become a broad collaboration of scientists and research assistants integrating work across different taxa in one geographic area. Information from this research project has fed into the management of the LFMA. Research carried out by the project was the basis for the successful application to the Global Environment Facility (GEF) that led to the establishment of the Lambusango Forest Conservation Project (LFCP; website www.Lambusango.com) led by Dr Edi Purwanto and supported by the Operation Wallacea Trust, PHKA and BKSDA.

As well as being a valuable collaboration between Indonesian and foreign researchers, the project has allowed a number of Indonesian undergraduates to join with research teams and gain valuable experience of forest research. Many of these students are now working in conservation research or with government departments across Indonesia. The program has supported three Indonesians PhD candidates and two Indonesian MSc candidates, representing our increasing commitment to support the future of Indonesian forest biodiversity research. In addition to formal training, the program has provided extensive capacity building in local communities to enable them to assist and support forest biodiversity research. The program continues to provide unparalleled opportunities for local BKSDA forest ranger staff to enhance their skills and knowledge in the field.



The key to the long-term success of this project has been the unique way it is funded, through the contributions of volunteers who join as eco-tourists to experience the project in the field. This sustainable funding model has resulted in this project being possibly the longest running biodiversity research project of its scale in Indonesia. Where other projects have been and gone because of their time-limited funding. Operation Wallacea’s research on Buton is going from strength to strength.

Through this program awareness of the significance of the biodiversity of Sulawesi Tenggara amongst local communities has been increased. In recent years, scientists from the program have presented their research at national and international conferences, notably at the: National Biology Seminar Makassar 2008, (keynote presentation); Alfred Russel Wallace, Letter from Ternate 150 Year anniversary conference 2008 (keynote presentation). Association for Tropical Biology Conference, Bali, 2010 (organized Wallacea symposium).

The key achievements can be summarized under three headings: scientific, social, and educational.

The completion of the 2009-2011 research plan presents an opportunity to re-focus and re-evaluate the aims of the research program in the context of changes in major themes in forest biodiversity and conservation research. In 2011IPB and Operation Wallacea signed an MOU to advance research and achieve tangible conservation outcomes on Buton Island. This research application for the period 2012 - 2014 reflects this greater emphasis on productive outputs of value to government departments and local communities in the management and protection of forests. Operation Wallacea have appointed the University of Hull as the lead academic organization on their behalf to implement this new program alongside IPB and to achieve completion of the CCBA report by the end of the research period.

Key Objectives

a) Identify factors (natural or anthropogenic) that influence distribution of biodiversity in the forests of Buton island.

b) Evaluate the key threatening processes operating, and how they are impacting biodiversity

c) Evaluate changes to biodiversity or key taxa over time, either through recovery from past disturbances or in response to new disturbances, or as a result of changed management policies and practices.

d) Evaluate the relative biodiversity value of the Buton forests compared with surrounding areas

e) Produce data on carbon standing stock of the forests which combined with satellite imagery can be used to calculate Voluntary Carbon Credits.

Abstract

Overall goal of this WP is to identify the cultural and social diversity within the research locations of the whole CRC, Therefore the spatial location, the size and the distribution of different cultural groups will be identified first. Engagement of these groups in forest transformation systems and their basic attitudes to the forest and its transformation will be investigated. Linked to this issue are questions about access to the forest and land in general, local environmental



knowledge and the use of forest products. To understand why people decide for or against engagement inforest transformation systems, the decision making process and the (cultural) key factors by which their decisions are influenced will be analysed.


The methods used will be both qualitative and quantitative. Field research will be prepared by literature review on the cultural groups in the research locations. For some groups (e.g. Bathin Sembilan) literature dates back to colonial times or has recently been published as ‘grey literature’ by local NGOs and governmental institutions. Archive studies in Leiden (Netherlands), Jakarta and Jambi are planned in order to delineate developments since the colonial time.

In a first step of this project an overview over the cultural groups living in the research locations will be set up. For this purpose, a combination of different forms of rapid rural appraisal methods will be applied and external data already collected by other institutions and organizations such as the Provincial Government will be used. A total of 10 villages or settlements (about 2 per sociocultural group) will be chosen for data in the explorative phase of the research. We will select at least one village or settlement of each cultural group which will constitute a sample for further comparative research. These villages/settlements will be chosen in cooperation with other scientific projects within working group C (C02, C07, C08) but also in cooperation with scientific projects from working group A and B (B09, B10). An important part of the research will therefore be fieldwork in different places with the different cultural groups (“multisited ethnography, see Marcus 1998). This method will be applied to gain a basic overview over the social and cultural situation in each of the chosen research sites. It will include open and semi-structured interviews as the main tools to identify key factors of cultural significance and use of forest and its transformation systems. Aspects of these interviews will then be further explored by using structured interviews.

In order to obtain the necessary quantity and depth of data we will, in a second step, cooperate with research assistants (junior Indonesian scholars). Each of them will conduct the field research in one of the research sites chosen and each will work with a selected range of identical research question. The data obtained in these different sites will then serve as the basis for the comparison. For this reason, the data will be fed into a data base program (atlas.ti) to make them easily available for each of the researchers. Regular meetings will be held to discuss the intermediary results and to adapt the research questions if necessary. Analysis of discourses on forest use and forest transformation on different levels (local, national, global) will be another important research tool to analyze the meaning of forest transformation systems in different contexts.

Abstract

Tropical forests which work as source of carbon sink have been decreasing quickly. As a result, huge amount of green house gas has been released to the atmosphere. Tropical peat swamp forest is one of tropical forests that contains huge amount of carbon, as it stands on peat soil which consists of accumulated organic matter under unaerobic condition. During the three decades, tropical peat swamp forests has experienced development and triggered serious environmental problems from local to global scale. Development of tropical peat lands begin with cutting trees and digging a canal for transportation of logged trees, in general. Clear cut forests are drained with further digging of deeper canal to develop peatland into arable farmland. Such digging of canal makes peat vulnerable to fire and leads to serious environmental problems such as emission of Green House Gas, loss of vegetation and peat subsidence through fire. As a result of such development peatlands have turned into barren field. Then, abandoned field have been spreading.

Recently, several attempts have been implemented to rehabilitate and afforestate these barren fields. However, most of attempts have resulted in failure. On the one handtechnical



factors such as survival rate, species selection of seedling and timing of planting can be counted as important reason for the failure. On the other hand, social background is more critical factors for the failures. For example, there has been an afforestation system called BLTS (Buying Living Tree System) which performed by local and foreign researchers In BLTS, supporting staffs check trees every three months after planting and wages for keeping the trees according to the proportion of surviving trees. This system has seemed to going well at the initial stage. However, some problems have happen such as neglecting the seedling and burning of the site after the financial support would be finished. As a result afforestation has failed. In such situation, the problems are not lying on technical matters, and afforestation is possible. For example, at the initial stage of planting local people maintain their land after planting as long as they get wages. But when it comes to the next stage that they cannot earn wages, they hardly maintain planted trees. As a result such fields become vulnerable to fire, and finally would be burnt and all of the planted tree would die. It seems that the social factor is more important than technical factor as a factor that disturbs afforestation of the site. However, examination about social factors which disturbs afforestation of arable land have not been well understood. Here objective of the study is to determinesocial factor that disturb afforestation. For the objective I focus on livelihood, land use and its management of local people to clarify the relationships between local people and environments.Method Research site is Taruna Jaya village in Central Kalimantan. The observation period is between February, 2012 and July, 2012.

Abstract

Research Objectives

The main goal of this subproject is to make available facts and knowledge on tropical lowland rainforest and rainforest transformations during prehistoric and historic times from different local sites to landscape level in the study region of the CRC in central Sumatra. Specific research goals are to study:

• Vegetation/pollenrainrelationshipindifferentvegetationtypes(tropicallowlandforestto rainforest transformation systems),

• Reconstructionoflowlandrainforestandrainforesttransformationsystemsinspaceandtime, past plant diversity dynamics in natural and rainforest transformation systems, response of disturbed and undisturbed rainforests to climate variability (droughts, ENSO),past human impact (Since when? How intensive?) by shifting cultivation, slash and burn,cropcultivation,rubberandpalmplantation,impactandroleoffire.

Hypotheses to be tested:

• HI:Rainforesttransformationsystemsaretheoutcomeofacomplex interplaybetweenpastenvironmental and human impacts, where anthropogenic impacts play the major.

• H2: Prehistoric lowland rainforest transformations had a much lower impact onSumatra’slowland rainforest ecosystems and its biodiversity than different historic/colonial rainforesttransformations.

• H3: Tropical lowland rainforest landscapes allow limited transformations over timewithoutlosing plant diversity and sustainable ecosystem processes and functioning.

• H4: Past drought events (El Nino) and their consequences (e.g. fires) had markedlystrongereffects on transformed rainforest ecosystems than on natural or little disturbed rainforests.

• H5:Onlocalscale,pasttropicallowlandrainforesttransformationsystemsaredifferentatthe studied sites due to impacts by different ethnic and culture groups. H6: On regional scale, general similar pattern of lowland rainforest developments and dynamics occurred due to past environmental impacts.

Research location




Two landscapes within Jambi Province have been chosen for the CRC research comprising large units of lowland rainforest: National Park Bukit Duabelas and Harapan Rainforest. The transformation systems to be investigated include lowland rainforest as reference sites, jungle rubber (extensive rubber plantations), and intensive rubber and oil palm plantations. Lowland rainforest reference sites represent old-growth forest but have been subject to logging. Large sites of untouched natural rainforest are no longer existing in Jambi province, but the lowland rainforest reference sites selected represent large rainforest regions in a close to natural state. Jungle rubber represents an extensive management system which is established by planting rubber trees into rainforest. Its implementation dates back into the early 20,h century but still covers large areas of Jambi. In each of the two landscapes (comprising blocks in a randomized complete block design), four replicates of each of (he four transformation systems (including the lowland rainforest as reference) will be investigated. These 32 sites will constitute the core sites; covering these core sites is mandatory for all CRC scientific projects (SPs) that collect micro level data. In addition to investigating established transformation systems, a reforestation experiment will be established near Harapan Rainforest landscape. The experiment aims at investigating principal questions of how to establish sustainable forest management systems, optimizing both conservation needs and socioeconomic benefits. Apart from the work on these sites and on the reforestation experiment, socioeconomic surveys will be undertaken in the same sites, but also including a broader area in Jambi Province to be able to capture institutional heterogeneity, which is important for comprehensive understanding of socioeconomic causes and consequences of land use changes.

Abstract

The objectives of this study is to examine the wood properties of trees in plantation and secondary forest created by the shifting cultivation to find out the effective utilization of plant resources for local peoples. Experimental site is located in Central Kalimantan Concession of Sari Bumi Kusuma (Kabupaten Seruyan and Kabupaten Katingan, Central Kalimantan). Plot (ca. 20 by 20 m) is set in the plantation or secondary forest naturally regenerated after shifting cultivation. Diameter at 1.3 m above the ground level, tree height, and stress-wave velocity are measured for all trees in the plot. Stress-wave velocity is measured by using a commercial, handheld stress wave timer. In addition, core sample (5 mm in diameter) is collected from several trees for determining the moisture content, basic density, and compressive strength parallel to grain by increment borer. Moisture content and basic density are determined by oven drying method and water displacement method, respectively. Compressive strength is measured by a strength-testing machine for core samples. Furthermore, core sample is also collected for determining the cell morphology. For determining the radial variation of cell morphology, core samplcsare cut at every 1-cm interval from pith to bark. Transverse sections (20 umin thickness) are obtained from each I-cm segment with a sliding microtome. The sections are stained with safranin and then dehydrated and mounted in biolite. Digital images of transverse sections are captured into a personal computer and analyze with I mage J software (National Institute of Health). The tangential and radial diameters are determined of 30 vessels and fibers in each 1-cm segment, and average. The double wall thickness of 30 fiber cells is measured, and one half of the double wall thickness is defined as the fiber wall thickness. Five digital images of each 1 cm segment are taken for measuring vessel frequency. Vessel frequency (vessels/mm2) is determined in 5 digital images of 2.5 sq.mm each.

(L.7) Water use characteristics of bamboo

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji karakteristik penggunaan air pada bambu.Bidang Penelitian : KehutananLama Penelitian : 12 (duabelas) bulan mulai 6 November 2012Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Timur dan Jawa Barat (Kampus IPB Bogor)Mitra Kerja : IPB (Dr. Hendrayanto)

Abstract

Bamboos (Poaceae) are widespread in tropical and subtropical forests. Particularly in Asia, bamboos are cultivated by smallholders and increasingly in large plantations. In contrast to trees, reliable assessments of water use characteristics for bamboo are very scarce. Recently we tested a set of methods for assessing bamboo water use and obtained first results. Objectives of the proposed project are (1) to further test and develop the methods, (2) to compare the water use of different bamboo species, (3) to analyze the water use to bamboo size relationship across species, and (4) to assess effects of bamboo culm density on the stand-level transpiration. The study shall be conducted in Java (Indonesia) where bamboos are very abundant. It is planned to work in a common garden (method testing, species comparison, water use to size relationship), and on farm (effects of culm density). Method testing will include a variety of approaches (thermal dissipation probes, stem heat balance, deuterium tracing and gravimetry), whereas subsequent steps will be based on thermal methods. The results may contribute to an improved understanding of bamboo water use characteristics and a more appropriate management of bamboo with respect to water resources.

Abstract

The research project aims at uncovering the rationale for, and local impacts of, the implementation of market-based instruments for biodiversity conservation, including payment for environment services (PES) and payments for watershed services (PWS) schemes in Indonesia. Building on work carried by ICRAF on RUPES pilot sites, the project’s objective is to administer household surveys at the local level to assess success and challenge of a watershed protection scheme in Cidanau, Banten region, whereby a private water company pays farmers, through an intermediary forum, to rehabilitate forest in uplands so that water flow and quality is improved over the coming years. On order to analyse this scheme the research project

Research questions: In order to analyse such scheme, the project wants to focus on following questions: nature of the instrument and governance, actors’ motivations, land-use changes, and finally livelihood impacts.

Site: Cidanau has been identified as a priority for research in Indonesia, due to previous visits and the advanced stage of implementation on the ground.

Timeline: Field research in Cidanau will take place over a minimum of one month by the end of the year 2012 (over the period November-December).

Human resources: IDDRI will provide two senior researchers to assist in and undertake research design, data collection and analysis: Romain Pirard and Renaud Lapeyre. The team will be assisted by scientific staff and students from the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF).

Methodological Approach: Data collection will be done with 5 enumerators through household surveys clustered at the kelompok (participating group) level, building on the experience of R. Lapeyre on household surveys (in large-scale survey exercise in Kenya) and experience of R. Pirard in Indonesia. The survey instrument will include a socio-economic



module, a module on land-use patterns, a module on motivations and participation and finally a module on socio-economic impacts of the scheme at the family level.

Sample: 200-250 households will be interviewed on their experience with the watershed scheme. Around 150-200 households participating in the scheme will be interviewed with the 5 farmers’ groups (around 3à-40 participant households per kelompok) while around 50 non-participating households will beinterviewed (approx. 10-12 non participant households per village visited)

Subjects Ethics: consent will be formally asked to respondents and anonymity will be secured. All identification information will be recorded on a separate page linked only with generated ID numbers) and entered separately.

Abstract

Research Objectives

As knowledge on the decomposer system in tropical lowland rainforests and its transformation systems is very limited the proposed project focuses on answering general questions on the structure and functioning of the belowground food web focusing on microorganisms and major microbial consumers.Investigation focusing on the analyses of microorganisms and testate amoebae (protists) (WP 1, WP 2) and litter decomposition (WP 3)

Work packages (WPs):


• WP2:Decompositionprocessesinlowlandrainforesttransformationsystemsasaffectedby top-down forces




Testate amoebae will be investigated by washing the samples from the litter and upper soil layers (F/H and/or Ah) over the filters, staining and direct counting. Measuring biomass and community composition of soil microorganisms will be based on a combination of methods, including substrate-induced respiration, and ergosterol and phospholipid fatty acid analysis (PLFA). These methods complement each other and allow a reliable estimate of microbial biomass and the relative contribution of bacteria and fungi to microorganisms in litter and soil.



As representatives of the bacterial and fungal food chains we will focus on testate amoebae (“Testacea”) which will be analysed at high taxonomic resolution (species level), microfauna will be assigned to trophic groups and the size will be measured to allow integration into food web models.

WP1: Soil fauna as affected by transformation of lowland rainforest. Lowland rainforest, jungle rubber, rubber and palm oil plantations (Harapan Rainforest, Taman Nasional Bukit Duabelas). From each of three subplots of the 32 core plots soil cores will be taken for analysis of soil microflora (three 5 cm soil cores bulked to one soil sample), and extraction of soil mesofauna (5 cm diameter cores).

WP2: Decomposition processes in lowland rainforest transformation systems as affected by top-down forces. In each of the 32 plots of the core sites litterbags will be exposed to investigate changes in litter decomposition with forest transformation. Representative leaf and root litter material from each of the four transformation systems will be analysed. The litter material will be collected from the transformation systems and incubated in litterbags of a mesh size of 4 mm to allow access of soil fauna. Litterbags will be exposed in subplots excluding the access by cursorial predators, in particular ants,

Abstract

Research Objectives,

The project has three major goals, which are addressed in threecorresponding WPs.

1) Investigate changes in soil prokaryotic diversity associated with rainforesttransformation to plantations.

2) Investigate the impact of rainforest transformation to plantations on the overall functional diversity of soil prokaryotic communities.

3) Investigate the effect of rainforest transformation on biogeochemical functions of soil microorganisms (N cycle)

In addition, the SP will also follow in WP4 the changes in microbial community composition and function in the course of the joint B11 gap enrichment experiment (mainly in Phase II of the CRC)

To achieve these goals, community composition, metabolic potential, and key functions of soil prokaryotic communities will assessed in the transformation systems (jungle rubber, rubber and oil palm plantation) and compared to lowland rainforest by metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches.

The project has four major goals which will be investigated infour work packages (WPs):


• WP2:Decompositionprocessesinlowlandrainforesttransformationsystemsasaffectedbytop-down forces




Soil animals will be extracted by heat using modified Kempson-extractors. Oribatid mites (Oribatida) will be analysed at high taxonomic resolution (species level). Collembola will also be analysed at high taxonomic resolution in close collaboration with Dr. Y.R. Suhardjono. With lower taxonomic resolution other soil animal taxa extracted by heat will be investigated in a comprehensive way in close collaboration Dr. R. Widyastuti, including Collembola, Gamasida, Isopoda, Diplopoda, Chilopoda, Araneida. Animals will be assigned to trophic groups and the size will be measured to allow integration into food web models of B1 Brose. For the analysis of bacteria and fungi we will investigate microbial respiration (02 microcompensation technique), microbial biomass as measured by substrate-induced respiration (SIR) and microbial community composition as indicated by PLFA in the litter and upper soil layers (F/H and/or Ah).

Complementary analysis of microbial biomass by fumigation extraction will be done by our counterpart Dr. R. Widyastuti. The structure of the soil animal food web will be investigated by analysing natural variations in stable isotope ratios (15N/MN and 13C/12C). Decomposition of litter materials will be investigated by using litter bags.

The role of roots and mycorrhizal fungi for litter decomposition, saprotrophic microorganisms and the nutrition of decomposer soil invertebrates will be investigated in a field microcosm experiment. Microcosms (diameter 15 cm, length 20 cm) selectively excluding plant roots and mycorrhizal fungi will be installed at one of the Harapan lowland rainforest sites.

Abstract

The success of the international and interdisciplinary research of the proposed Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) depends to a significant degree on efficient project support. There will be a very high demand for support of scientific projects with respect to the organization and collection of background data on flora, fauna and climate, and this will be met by the Central scientific support unit. The project will focus on four major topics: (1) Collection of essential climate data at each of the core sites and four reference sites including temperature and moisture at different levels above and below the ground. (2) Establishment of a barcoding system for vascular plants of the study sites to support species identification and to assign fine roots to species. (3) Support to the determination of arthropod species and implementing the sampling, determination and monitoring of tree arthropod communities. (4) Functioning as focal point and interface for collaboration withcollections in Indonesia, in particular the Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI), and museums all over the world. Support will be provided with regard to issues on the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) ensuring that CRC scientists are familiar with the principles of the CBD including the Access and Benefit



Sharing system, and conduct their research accordingly. In a program focusing on investigating the diversity of highly diverse taxa in a tropical rainforest region, support in biodiversity issues is mandatory to ensure that the expected high diversity of animals, plants and microorganisms receive adequate attention, are stored and archived properly, and are handled conforming to Indonesian and international regulations. The Central scientific support unit is expected to form a long term focus on biodiversity monitoring of tropical regions and to ensure that collections and results of the CRC are saved for future use.

Abstract

Deforestation is continuingall over the world.Southeast Asia has gone through a large decline in forest areain the last ten years, with an annual net loss of forests of more than 0.9 million hectares. Particularly in Indonesia, where there is mega biodiversity with extensive forest area, However, tropical forests have been decreasing with the second highest deforestation ratio following Brazil.



The establishment of protected areas is one of the effective methods for conserving forests and biodiversity. In Indonesia, a national park has been one of the most important measures for nature conservation (Soekmadi, 2002). Designation of national parks and other categories of protected areas have been accelerated in recent years, and around 50 national parks have been established by 2006.

However, simple establishment of national parks alone may not be sufficiently effective. In Indonesia, it is common that there are various ‘illegal’ activities, either subsistence or commercial, by local people nearby the established parks. With the recognition that simple exclusion of such people would be neither possible nor effective, several buffer zone programs have been promoted, to cope with local people’s pressures and mitigate illegal logging activities. Yet, few effective results have been reported.

It would be a first step to collect more information on rural livelihoods. From this viewpoint, firstly, we will marshal the kinds of forest use patterns inside a national park in terms of the levels of pressures on forest resources; i.e. agroforestry such as durian gardens, rubber plantations, or shifting cultivation. Secondly, characteristics of households associated with each kind of forest use pattern will be confirmed. With this information, more precise targeting of program beneficiaries would be possible, which would result in better outcomes of buffer zone or other protected areas-related programs.

Study Site

In our study, we focus on GunungPaiung National Park (GPNP) in West Kalimantan thatcontains globally significantecosystems in terms of biodiversity conservation.GPNP is located in Ketapang District and Kayong Utara District with anapproximate area of 90,000 ha and maximum elevation of 1,116m (Fig 1). Thisregioncontains seven types of tropical rainforest ecosystems: sub-alpine rain forest, mountain rain forest, lowland rain forest, alluvial forest, moss forest, swamp forest, mangrove forest and rheofite vegetation. In addition, the national park is famous for endemic habitat of orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), with estimated population density of 3.0 individuals/km2, totally 2,470 individuals. Proboscis monkey (Nasalislarvatus) is also distributed with high density.

However, illegal logging has been serious throughout the national park, particularly since 1999, and 50,400ha had beendeforested in mid-2003.

Abstract

The Java Upwelling Variations Observation (JUVO) is a collaboration program between the Agency for Marine and Fisheries Research and Development (AMFRD) Indonesia and the First Institute of Oceanography (FIO) China. Through this program, a subsurface ADCP mooring system and a surface buoy system part of Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS) will be deployed at location (8°30’S, 106°45’E) and (8°S, 100°E), respectively, to provide long-term monitoring of the upwelling variations off the coast of Java.

It was suggested that the Java upwelling variations has an important role to the IndianOcean Dipole (IOD). This phenomenon could cause a strong SST cooling in southeasterntropical Indian Ocean (TIO) in some years and it further develops into the significant IODevents that have profound climate and social-economical impacts on both the Indian OceanI nearby countries and remote areas through atmospheric teleconnection.

Abstract

The Asian green mussel, Perna viridis, is an ecologically and economically important bivalve species in Indonesia. In attaches to hard substrates and densely inhabits eutrophic habitats. This characteristic is discussed to be mainly due to its ability to withstand environmental stressors common in anthropogenic influenced habitats. However, differences between P. viridis populations in their ability to resist abiotic stress have been observed. This PhD project is to elucidate, the role habitat quality plays in the development of higher stress resistance



among certain populations of the mussels. Aim is to distinguish between genetic adaptation, acclimation to habitat factors and food availability as the main mechanisms leading to high stress tolerance in P. viridis.

Abstract

Despite the importance of the Indonesian Archipelago to modern and future global environmental change, little is known about its past. The Java Sea with its terrestrial deposits provide an excellent study area, which can be used as an example region to study the natural environmental (vegetation, climate, fire) variability and the anthropogenic impact (slash and bum, deforestation, Sand use) and its consequences. Innovative temporal high resolution mufti-proxy studies (pollen, spores, charcoal) will be applied on the same sediment samples from the Java Sea also used in the “paleoceanographic* (5.1) and “biogeddtemicaT (5.2) subprojects to reconstruct past environmental changes as an important contribution to the understanding of past, modem and future global changes in respect to the role of the human impact and ecological responses

Abstract

The program SITE outlines an effort to measure the magnitude and variabilityof the water mass transport/exchange, temperature, salinity, and heat flux between theIndonesian Seas and South China Sea (SCS) in the Karimata Strait by deploying aseries of trawl-resistant bottom mounted acoustics current Doppler profiler (TRBMADCP) moorings. The flow through the Karimata Strait is hypothesized to play amajor role in controlling the dynamics of the SCS and Indonesian Seas, and inaffecting the primary Indonesian through flow (ITF) and its impacts on seasonal fishmigration.The field work of the Phase I& llof SITE program has been implementedfrom November 2007 to October 2010. Data obtained in Karimata and Sunda Straitsrevealed that a significant water mass transport, 3.6 Sverdrup (Sv), flowed from theSouth China Sea to the Java Sea in boreal winter and about 1.8 Sverdrup from theJava Sea to the South



China Sea in boreal summer. This indicates that the KarimataStrait transport can contribute a seasonal variability of more than 5 Sv in the totalIndonesian Through flow (ITF). This result indicates that the Karimata Strait throughflow can greatly impacts the circulation of both the South China Sea and theIndonesian Seas. It has also been found that the current in Sunda Strait has been obvious seasonal variation, which has important impacts on seasonal fish migration.

To evaluate the seasonal and inter annual variation of the Karimata and Sundathrough flow there is a need to continue to measure the currents in the Karimata,Gaspar and Sunda Straits, so we will continue to carry out observation in 2012.

Abstract

Terumbu karang dikenal sebagai ekosistem yang mengandung berbagai manfaat sangat besar dan beragam, baik secara ekologi maupun ekonomi. Estimasi jenis manfaat yang terkandung dalam terumbu karang dapat diidentifikasi menjadi dua yaitu manfaat langsung dan manfaat tidak langsung. Manfaat dari terumbu karang yang langsung dapat dimanfaatkan oleh manusia adalah:

• sebagaitempathidupikanyangbanyakdibutuhkanmanusiadalambidangpangan

• industripariwisatayangsangatsignificantkontribusinyabagiperekonomiandibeberapadaerah dan masyarakat lokal.

• penelitiandanpemanfaatanbiotaperairanlainnyayangterkandungdidalamnya.



Sedangkan yang termasuk dalam pemanfaatan tidak langsung adalah sebagai penahan abrasi pantai yang disebabkan gelombang dan ombak laut, serta sebagai sumber keanekaragaman hayati.

Kerusakan ekosistem terumbu karang saat ini telah sampai pada kondisi yang sangat memprihatinkan. Dimana beberapa faktor utama yang menyebabkan adalah: “coral bleaching” yang disebabkan oleh perubahan suhu air laut yang yang drastis, ekploitasi sumberdaya perikanan yang berlebihan dan menggunakan metode yang tidak ramah lingkungan, pencemaran dan “run-off.

Konservasi dan restorasi ekosistem terumbu karang sudah sangat mendesak dan harus dilaksankan mengingat akan pentingnya ekosistem ini bagi kehidupan manusia. Berbagai penelitian untuk menciptakan teknik yang pas dan efisien telah dikembangkan sampai dengan saat ini oleh beberapa ahli.

Jepang menghadapi permasalahan dengan kerusakan ekosistem terumbu karang di Kepulauan Okinawa, yang sangat parah. Usaha-usaha untuk merehabilitasi ekosistem terumbu karang telah dilakukan oleh banyak pihak dan instansi yang terkait “Marine Block” (MB) dan “Coral Settlement Device” (CSD) yang terbuat dari “steel slag”, seperti yang tampak pada gambar 1, telah digunakan sebagai bahanuntuk mengumpulkan benih karangyang akan digunakan untuk rehabilitasi ekosistem terumbu karang melalui transplantasi karang. Ke dua material ini telah diuji coba melalui beberapa penelitian dan didapatkan hasil yang menunjukan akan keunggulannya sebagai tempat hidup bagi benih-benih karang. Kegiatan rehabilitasi terumbu karang dengan menggunakan material dan teknik ini dilaksanakan oleh Kementerian Lingkunganjepangdi Kepulauan Ryukyu. Material dan teknik ini diharapakan akan mampu digunakan dan diterapkan untuk merehabilitasi ekosistem terumbu karang di Indonesia.

Tujuan Penelitian

Untuk memulihkan ekosistem terumbu karang di perairan Sulawesi Utara yang rusakyang diakibatkan oleh “coral bleaching”, penangkapan ikan ddengan menggunakan teknik yang tidak ramah lingkungan serta pemangsaan oleh “Acantaster”, restorasi dengan menggunakan MB dan CSD akan dilakukan melalui percobaan di lapangan. Efek pada pertumbuhan karang yang djtransplantasikan akan dievaluasi.

Sejauh ini MB telah digunakan sebagai material untuk merehabilitasi ekosistem perairan yang mengalami kerusakan.

Proyek ini diharapkan akan memberikan kontribusi untuk konservasi keragaman hayati terumbu karang di Indonesia dan juga negara lainnya di Asia Tenggara melalui jaringan ERIA.

(M.7) Fishing Practices in the Makassar Spermonde Archipelago, South Sulawesi Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Menganalisis hubungan cost and benefit penggunaan teknologi tertentu dalam kegiatan menangkap ikan

Bidang Penelitian : Kelautan/ Perikanan


Daerah Penelitian : Sulawesi Selatan (Makassar dan Kep. Spermonde)

Mitra Kerja : Puslitbang Kelautan dan Sosial-Ekonomi Perikanan - Balitbang KP - KKP (Dr. Agus Heri Purnomo)

Abstract

The Spermonde Archipelago in South Sulawesi consists of a large number of small islands and is one of the largest reef fisheries of Indonesia. The highest number of fishing households per kilometer of coast is found there as well as a very divers fishing fleet. Over the time the demands from increasing global markets are risen and as a result many fisherman shift to other gear types to increase the productivity. Many of these technologies are destructive. Recent research focuses on such methods identifiing harmful effects and trying to keep the environment in a



sustainable state. Traditional and potentially less destructive gear types are discounted. In this study all gear types are described and their cost-benefit relations are analvsed.

Indonesia is tlic largest island State persisting off about 17 000 islands. Coral reefs are extended all along the coasts providing a suitable habitat for numerous marine species. These reefs occupy one-fifth of the coral reefs on earth and is furthermore an area showing one of the highest biodiversities (Glaser et al. 2010). Several ecosystem services such as food income and coastal protection are provided and the inhabitants are highly dependent on them. Because of that dependence several fishing technologies have been developed to exploit the resources. Pet-Soede (2001) reported about 22 different gear types which are operated from 10 different boat types. Contrary to that there were 19 different gear types found during SPICE II. Over the time the demands from increasing global markets have risen and as a result the levels of overharvestiug and the emergence of new target species have increased. The fish Slocks get more and more depleted and the productivity of some fishing gears decrases. As a consequence the affected fisherman shift to more productive methods by usingbombs and cyanide. These technologies cause damage to the habitat. Recent research focuseson such destructive methods in order to identify harmful effects and to keep the environment in a sustainable State, Traditional and potentially less destructive gear types are discounted.

The objectives of this study are to analyse the cost-benefit relation of the gear types as well as the factors which infleunce the use of a particular gear type and of a certain fishing ground.

Material and methods

The study area is located in the Spermonde Archipelago in South Sulawesi. The Archipelago consists of a large number of small islands and is one Of the largest reef fisheries of Indonesia. The highest number of fishing households per kilometer of coast is found there as well as a very divers fishing fleet. During September 2012 the members of SPICE III visit Several islands of the Archipelago to get an overview of the ecological and social consitions there. By that time the exact islands are selected on which this study will be conducted. The study takesplace on 5 to 10 different islands. Due to the high number of changing study sites the base station is located in Makassar. Sulawesi from where the island trips start. The data are collected from Scptmcbcr 2012 to April 2013 by using qualitative methods. Scmi-strucutrcd interviews are carried out by working with translators- Fishermen as being the key stakeholders arc interviewed. The number of fishermen being intcrviewes and thereby the number of islands being included in the study are determined after a phase of pretesting.



Expected results

Expected results are to find some kindof pattern in the relation of certain fishing gears to a certain island. Furthermore there may be a relation between the fishing ground and the gear used. Another outcome could be a beneficial cost-benefit realtion of a non-dcsiructivc fishing technology. The destructive fishing technologies are potentially more productive than the traditional ones but they bear also higher risks for human’s health. If a technology would be found for which the benefits overtop the disadvantages the ecological virtue can be rated. This fishing gear would become more important in social and ecological issues. It could be integrated in future management plans to pursue ecological sustainability as well as social well-being.

Abstract

Cyanide fishing is a destructive fishing method that is widely applied in many Southeast Asian countries (Jones and Steven 1997). It is used to collect living reef fish for the human consumption in China or the ornamental fish trade in the US and Europe. Although the method is illegal it is used on a regular basis to sustain the living of fishermen on the one hand and to supply the high demand for living reef fish worldwide on the other. Fishermen use sodium cyanide (NaCN) or potassium cyanide (KCN) tablets to obtain hydrogen cyanide which stuns the fish (Johannes and Riepen 1995). However cyanide can be a very destructive toxin that affects both, targeted and non-targeted species that eventually die from overdoses (Cervino, Hayes et al. 2003). Furthermore corals are killed as their symbiosis with zooxanthellae is disrupted (Jones and Hoegh-Guldberg 1999) and coral recruits are being prevented from a successful settlementPet-Soede and Erdmann 1998). Thereby the whole reef community is at threat and areas that were intensively exposed to cyanide fishing before are now dominated by algal overgrowth and show a decrease of diversity in fish species.

There are several methods to detect cyanide, nevertheless none of these provides satisfying results as they are either time-consuming or destructive to the fish. The University of Aveiro, Portugal invented a new optical fiber (OF) based method that allows detecting thiocyanate (SCN-). Thiocyanate is a metabolite of cyanide that is being excreted by reeffish that have been exposed to cyanide (Vaz, Rocha-Santos et al. 2012). The method is a fast, non-destructive and non-invasive approach. In their lab-based study they investigated to which extend captive-bred clownfish [Amphiprion clarkii) excrete thiocyanate (SCN-). The specimen were therefore exposed to cyanide for 60 s at levels of either 12,5 or 25 mg L*1 of CN2 and then tested over a period of 28 days. The tested fish excreted between 6.9660±03 and 9.8460±03 ug L”1 of SCN2, respectively, during the 28 days of exposure.

Aims

This thesis intends to extend the previous work of Vaz et al. 2012 and is designed to testify the newly developed OF method under field conditions and along the various steps of the trade chain. Reef fish from different traders in Indonesia and from one large-scale importer in the Netherlands will be tested for SCN- excretion. The testing of fish from various traders refers to different points of the trade chain in order to determine the best point of time for the application of the OF method. It is the aim to verify the method and to test its applicability in a non-laboratory environment where multiple parameters such as pH, salinity, background levels of thiocyanate in coastal waters (Silva, Justino et al. 2011), or the presence of halogens such as Br or Clare likely to change. In contrast to the lab experiments the levels of thiocyanate in fish excretions depend on conditions such as the concentration of cyanide during fish collection, the duration of exposure, post-collection handling or the holding time in export or import



facilities (Bruckner and Roberts 2008). Given that the method is suitable to detect the illegal usage of cyanide along the trade chain it might be essential to establish the detection method in exporting as well as in importing countries on a general basis. Corruption by authorities shall be bypassed and fishermen, making their living on a legal basis, without the use of cyanide, shall be supported with this approach on the long run.

Abstract

“Bioconversion” or “Maggot” Research program, developed in Indonesia since 2006, is firstly focused to help in solving the fishmeal shortage that had strong negative consequences on aquaculture (fish ponds abandoned, reduction on fish production,..). Efforts and results made on insect Henrietta illucens biology and life cycle have oriented the program into two directions for application. The first application (1) is the model applied to help rural aquaculture (pilot project in Sumatra) where the maggot production is based on natural populations of insect Hermetic* living in their natural habitat, and resulted on a maggot production of 250kg/week. It has confirmed that Maggot may play a capital role to reactivate aquaculture which is dormant from a long period of time. But unfortunately the bioconversion for rural aquaculture has been stopped temporary caused by the drastic increase applied on PKM price (more than 5 times from 200Rp/kg to I500Rp/kg). The second application (2) is the mass production of Hermetia larvae, obtained under control method with high density rearing of insect population artificially maintained in captivity within insectariums (a prototype facility of 1000m2 has been established at BRBIH in Depok research station). This second aspect, the control on maggot mass production, has reached a determinant step to be applied forward in a bigger scale. Actually the Depok unit may produce up to 800 g to 1000 g per month of Hermetia eggs biomass, corresponding to 30 - 35 million of larvae. The short term focus of this second aspect of application is to push the production into a higher productivity. By January 2011 our ambition is to scale-up four times the actual capacity (biomass eggs production of around 6000 g/month,



equivalent to about 200 millions of eggs per month. Tin’s new ability of massive Hermetia egg and larvae production has conducted us to valorize others unused organic wastes which may cause pollution and to release maggot from PKM use. The maggot biomass produced will be transformed into “Maggot meal form” used to replace Fishmeal. Emilie DEVIC will be integrated among the actual IRD/BALITBANGKP to take part in this Bioconversion research program.

Abstract

IRD French research institute for development, study the freshwater fish biodiversity of endangered species or with high implication in aquaculture. This animal production is in continuous growth represent a very important way to answer to the steadily increase of request for human food.

Intensification of aquaculture practises goes together with an increase of pathological problems during different phases of cycle production and fish pathology often represents a



bottleneck for aquaculture development. The economical losses and environmental impact induced by mismanagement of fish pathology may be a heavy threat for the aquaculture sustainability.

(N.2) The Effect of Fulbright English Teaching Assistants on the Communicative Abilities of Secondary School English Language Learners

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengevaluasi efektivitas program Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Program di Indonesia yang telah berlangsung sejak tahun 2004



Daerah Penelitian : DKI Jakarta (Unika Atma Jaya)

Mitra Kerja : Universitas Atma Jaya (Yanti, Ph.D.)

Abstract

Purpose of Research:

Since 2004, the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant program has placed over 200 American university graduates in Indonesian secondary schools. The purpose of the program is to assist Indonesian students in developing communicative abilities in English, but results have not been scientifically evaluated. This research intends to evaluate the effectiveness of the program.

Methodology:

Students from 10 classes will be used as subjects for this research. One class will be drawn from each of 10 separate public state high schools. In order to ensure a sufficient number of subjects, only classes with over 25 students will be eligible (n > 250). These should all be classes in which ETAs are scheduled to teach once per week, because that is the most common teaching arrangement (schedules can vary from school to school, so an effort must be made to ensure that the students studied represent the average student -ETA interaction). Each student in the selected classes will be given a Speak Test within a month of the ETA arriving to teach their classes. The same students will be given another Speak Test eight months later, within a month of the ETA leaving the school. This test will measure a student’s ability to produce understandable spoken English in conversation with a native speaker. A comparison of data obtained from the two tests will provide evidence concerning whether or not the presence of the ETA leads to increased communicative abilities.



Location:

Primary: Jakarta; Institutional: Atma Jaya Catholic University

Secondary: Interviews will be done at 10 schools, which can be divided into five research sites. The first research site will be Java, where research will be conducted in schools in Parung, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya and/or Genteng. The second research site will be Kalimantan, where research will be conducted in schools in Banjarmasin, Balikpapan, and/or Samarinda. The third research site will be NTT, where research will be conducted in schools in Kupang and/or Sumba. The fourth research site will be Seram, where research will be conducted in schools in Masohi. The fifth and final research site will be Sulawesi, where research will be conducted in schools in Manado. More than 10 schools are listed here to allow for flexibility, since scheduling or other difficulties may make research impossible in one or more of the candidate schools.

Abstract

Indonesia’s Bugis people are famous as a mobile, seafaring ethnic group who call South Sulawesi their home, but frequently move throughout Sulawesi and the greater Indonesian archipelago in “search of brighter futures” (Buginese: massappa’ dalle). In the present era of globalization and increased internal Indonesian migration (migrasi internal di Indonesia), however, their older patterns of national mobility are developing characteristics like those thematized in important anthropological work on mobility. More recent ethnographic work on these national dynamics centers on socially and geographically mobile people as more than passive participants in macro-movements of people or capital, focusing instead on how they actively negotiate their positions at home and in out-of-the-way places in micro-contexts of day-to-day life. This work raises but has not yet fully addressed crucial issues of social and geographical mobility, dynamics of globalization, and national practices as they are reflected, (re)signified, and shaped through language and linguistic practices in everyday life. The proposed linguistic-anthropological research, then, centers on the linguistic and cultural practices of South Sulawesi’s Bugis people, attending to the ways Bugis migrants and nonmigrants jointly talk about and envision mobility throughout the nation not only as a source of economic advantage, but also as an emergent mode of local and national belonging in contemporary Indonesia.

The research will center on everyday ways of thinking and speaking about Bugis notions of mobility and will attend to multiple empirical foci: the genres and images that recurrently frame Bugis notions of internal migration and massappa ‘dalle - “searching for brighter futures”; the contexts in which those narratives are more or less strategically deployed; and specific forms of speech (accent, grammar, lexicon) that signal sociolinguistic expertise and allegiance across shifting interactional settings. In all these ways, the personal narratives of Bugis migrants and nonmigrants can be used to gauge the ways that broader forces in contemporary Indonesia are reshaping local and national Buginese notions of personhood, place, and community.

To study experiences and narratives of Buginese mobility in Indonesia, ethnographic research will be conducted in the following sites in South Sulawesi: (i) Makassar, South Sulawesi’s provincial capital, where Bugis people from various kabupaten migrate to in “search of brighter futures,” (ii) Watampone, capital of the Bone Regency, a provincial subdivision widely recognized as a major seat of Buginese nobility, tradition, and culture; and (iii) the Ponre subdivision of the Bone Regency, where Bugis people engage in traditional practices such as rice farming that are far removed from the practices associated with contemporary life in Makassar, South Sulawesi’s urban center.

The research project will deploy ethnographic and linguistic modes of analysis. Participant observation among a wide and representative cross-section of South Sulawesi’s



Bugis population, including Bugis who have never moved from home, Bugis people who have moved away from home in “search of brighter futures,” and return migrants to South Sulawesi from elsewhere in Indonesia will be conducted. Unstructured and semi-structured interviews will be conducted that speak to how Bugis notions of mobility are linked with senses of local and national belonging in contemporary Indonesia. An additional focus of these interviews will be naturally-situated and elicited commentary on everyday linguistic practices that would shed light on how migrants and nonmigrants’ experiences or construals of Buginese mobility and national belonging are shaped or reflected by ideologies of communicative practice.

Abstract

Indonesia provides a fascinating test case where the interwoven effects of national language policy, muhilingualism, diglossia, register differences, and the development of regional varieties all come together in the context of recent shifts in language use and practice throughout Indonesia. I plan to carry out a project investigating effects of language contact in



Indonesia taking Sundanese as a test case, in order to document and analyze these intricate patterns of change in collaboration widi colleagues at Atma Jaya Catholic University, during an upcoming sabbatical, 2012-13, supported by a Fulbright Senior Scholar Research Grant. Results of this work will provide much needed documentation that will inform theoretical and applied questions and serve as a model for similar studies on other languages. My collaboration with Atma Jaya Catholic University will provide an excellent basis for strengthening educational exchange with colleagues and students in Indonesia.

Methodology:

These issues of language contact will be investigated through a sociolinguistic and structural study of Sundanese, the third most widely spoken regional language. Sundanese, spoken in W. Java by an estimated 27 million speakers, exhibits considerable dialectal variation, but it also supports a clearly defined ethnic and cultural group with strong religious ties to Islam. It is a high prestige language, seemingly an excellent candidate for long-term maintenance. The principle research site for the project will be in Jakarta. The background and preliminary data collection, as well as analysis with be done in Jakarta with colleagues and students at Atma Jaya Catholic University. Interviews for the project will be collected in three locations, Jakarta, Bandung, and village near Bandung. The interview format and questionnaire will be designed to elicit information about language use and language attitudes in order to document shifts in usage and provide data with which to conduct a systematic investigation of the structural manifestations of language contact. The social factors that are expected to influence language use include speakers’ age, gender, and educational level, as well as the urban vs. rural settings in which they live. The sample will be constructed to include speakers that cover the range of each of these categories. Tlirough the interviews, data will be collected on the current state of Sundanese structural properties, such as pronunciation, use of pronouns and terms of address, and syntactic properties, particularly use of sentence particles. The target is to conduct 30-50 interviews at each location.

Abstract

The year 2011 has been declared ‘The International Year of Forests’ by the United Nations in order to celebrate people’s action for sustainable forest management and simultaneously raise more awareness about the on-going forest issues worldwide. This demonstrates the gravity as well as the need for more research on sustainable forest management (FAO, 2011). Forest landscapes are changing because the relationships between resource users and forests have changed. Therefore, imposed interventions, often by national governments, include the establishments of protected areas. Since local rural communities are often highly dependent on forest resources for their livelihoods, conflicts about ownership rights arise (Kubo, 2010; Contreras-Hermosilla & Fay, 2005).

Indonesia is known for its rich biodiversity and tropical forests as well as its high rates of deforestation and social tensions over land use rights (Contreras-Hermosilla & Fay, 2005). Similar to many other tropical countries, forests in Indonesia are owned and managed by national authorities who are struggling to meet the needs of the various stakeholders (Kubo, 2010). The focus of this study will be on Gunung Halimun-Salak National Park (GHSNP) located in West Java . The main reasons for the national park designation in 2003, according to the government of Indonesia, are the rich ecosystems and the important hydrological functions of the area. The consequences for communities, suddenly living within the national park boundaries, have been substantial (Galudra et al. 2008). Their inherited tenure rights were not acknowledged and



they were no longer able to use the area for their livelihoods. From a legal perspective, the main objective was and still is to conserve the natural biological resources and this does not permit resource use within the park and agricultural land use on park land (Kubo, 2008).

After 2003, tensions regarding land issues and critique on the central policies have increased. The role of local people in decision-making processes of the national park was very limited (Kubo, 2008). As a reaction to these growing critiques, the government shifted to a more participatory form of conservation management. These processes of landscape governance will be analysed by adopting a political ecology perspective. Concepts of rules and resources and agency will be used to get a better insight in the landscape governance of GHSNP.

This proposal has the following structure. The first chapter contains more background information on the developments that led on to the national park designation in 2003, but will also discuss the policy shift in 2004 which aim was to increase participatory conservation. In the following chapters, I will address the problem statement, research objectives and questions. Chapter 6 and 7 will elaborate on the theoretical approach of political ecology, three central concepts and the chosen methodology. Finally, I will conclude my proposal with a planning and budget for my three months’ fieldwork in Indonesia.

Research objectives

It is my main hypothesis that in Gunung Halimun-Salak National Park, political and local networks and arrangements are not properly aligned and three aspects play a significant role in this:

• Differentperceptionsoflegality

• Differentperceptionsanduseoflandscape

• Unevenpowerrelationsamongtheactors

Based on this hypothesis, the general objective of my study is to gain insight as to why there is no alignment between these initiatives on various levels (and perhaps also within the same level) in the landscape of GHSNP. I want to observe the landscape physically, but also in intangible terms such as networks and arrangements between stakeholders. The reason for this focus is that a better understanding can contribute to good landscape governance which is essential for an environmentally and socially sustainable landscape. For example, I know that there are forest restoration activities going on in the GHSNP corridor. A better understanding of networks and initiatives can facilitate in landscape restoration as it shows what the landscape should look like and where the frictions and possibilities lays management-wise.



Besides the main hypothesis, I have two other hypotheses which are based on literature review. Several studies on policies and stakeholders have been conducted in GHSNP and what interested me is the degree of generalisation and homogenisation in these articles with respect to two issues. One frequently mentioned stakeholder group are ‘the local communities’ and their ‘the land tenure conflict’, as if there is no substantial diversity among the local people and the nature of the conflicts. Even though the results of these studies are bit more nuanced than I exemplify here, my fear is that generalizations are made too quickly. One can read through the lines of these articles that there are in fact differences among local communities with respect to use of forest resources, access to land, jobs etc. This implies that people living in the park might have different interests regarding the access and use of national park land. Besides the literature, I have heard from Centre for Development Innovation and Tropenbos that new people have settled within the park and thereby creating new tensions. Based on these findings, I therefore assume that the diversity among the local communities as well as the nature of conflicts in GHSNP is much greater than previous studies pretend.

Research design

The research design will be a case study. According to Green & Thorogood (2010) this entails the study of a phenomenon in its context. The focus will be on providing a thick description of a number of small cases rather than on generalizations. Two or three cases will be selected during my preparation phase or in the beginning of my field work which will revolve formal or informal arrangements concerning land issues in GHSNP. By analysing multiple arrangements between stakeholders or even networks, these cases can be compared during the data analysis. I have selected a case study research design due to time constraints. The focus on several smaller cases, will contributed to the depth of this study within a three month period.

Abstract

Marine ecosystems in many regions of the world show alarming signs of degradation (The World Bank, 2006) and 85 per cent of all fish stock is being classified as overexploited (United Nations Secretary-General’s High-level Panel on Global Sustainability, 2012). In the 2008 report The Sunken Billions’ by the World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the total economic loss caused by the global decline in fish stocks is estimated to be approximately two trillion dollars for the last 3 decades (The World Bank & Food and Agriculture Organization, 2008). The loss of functions, goods and services ecosystems provide is a significant barrier to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger (United Nations Secretary-General’s High-level Panel on Global Sustainability, 2012). In 2011, the general assembly of the United Nations restated that the protection of oceans and related ecosystems, including coral reefs, which was already envisaged in chapter 17 of Agenda 21, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPol) and other international agreements, remains a main objective (UN resolution 65/150 Art. 92).

In the face of increasing depletion and degradation of marine resources, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have become more and more important around the world in order to address overfishing, habitat degradation and strengthen the livelihood of the local populations (Christie & White, 2007; Kelleher, 1999). The benefits from effective implementation of MPAs are diverse but generally include ecological (Adan, 2004; Alcala, 1998; Gell & Roberts, 2002; Laffoley, 2008; Roberts et al., 2001; White, Alifio, & Meneses, 2006) as well as social elements (Govan et al., 2009; Laffoley, 2008; Roberts et al., 2001; White et al., 2006). Positive examples of MPAs have been reported from all over the world (e.g. Alcala, 1998; Gell & Roberts, 2002; Laffoley, 2008; Pinto da Silva, 2004; Roberts et al., 2001; The World Bank, 2006; White, Alifio, & Meneses, 2006). However, only about 6% of territorial waters and still less than 1 % of the world’s oceans are currently under some form of protection (The World Bank, 2006). In addition, past experience with MPA management has also shown that effort toward conservation of biological diversity and sustainable resource use frequently has not yielded the desired results (e.g. Christie & White, 2007; Gerhardinger et al., 2011).

The focus for marine management has shifted from the implementation of individual small-scale approaches toward up-scaling marine management efforts on a regional scale. The main reasons are that socio-economic and ecological drivers of change are situated on multiple levels (from local to global), and we need to navigate use planning in order to achieve social and ecological objectives on larger scales (Cicin-Sain & Belfiore, 2005; Kittinger et al., 2011; Pietri et al., 2009). The implementation of this approach, however, poses new challenges for the institutional architecture due to the inclusion of additional stakeholders as well as multiple levels and scales into management. Research with respect to networking governance systems for MPAs is still in its nascent stages (Pietri et al., 2009). Up to now, there is only limited theoretical



guidance and empirical studies on how regional scale marine resource governance should be implemented (Fidelman et al., 2012).

Methods

By using an inductive case study approach based on qualitative methods and Social Network Analysis, this study seeks to advance our understanding of regional governance systems for coral reefs and to examine the challenges for creating MPA networks. Methods will include Social Networks Analysis (SNA) complemented by qualitative methods. The SNA will be conducted focusing on cooperation and communication to disentangle the social and political structure involved and analyze the modes of communication between actors in the governance system. For the SNA, Stakeholders from within the different management units and outside the formal management structure will be targeted using a structured SNA questionnaire. Qualitative methods will be used in order to further analyze the structure of interaction. Specifically, this comprises in-depth key informant interviews (KM), secondary data collection and participatory observation. The Klls will be based on semi-structured interviews, which are open ended but follow a general script and cover a list of topics listed above (Bernard, 2006).

Abstract

Despite longstanding investment into watershed management, many river catchments worldwide are degraded, adversely affecting downstream and coastal ecosystems and communities. This situation is also evident in Indonesia. Water as a fluid medium connects the various actors and utilisations upstream and downstream. Many rivers are highly multi-functional and used, for example, as a space for living, for personal hygiene and washing



clothes, for fishing and aquaculture, as a source of water for industrial, agricultural and domestic purposes, for the discharge of partly toxic domestic and industrial waste water and rubbish, for mineral and sand mining, and as a route of transport for people and goods. Via the flow of water, land use/ cover patterns and the various water uses throughout river catchments are linked with downstream ecosystems and the resource use claims of lowland and coastal communities and cities. Sustainable management of downstream and coastal ecosystems therefore needs to be combined with effective watershed management.

The integration of watershed management with management strategies for coastal and near-shoremarine ecosystems remains a major conceptual and practical challenge worldwide. It requiresmechanisms and instruments that can deal with complex social-ecological processes operating acrossregions and various scales, balance short-term economic needs and interests with long-termsustainability aims and provide for a fair distribution of the costs and benefits of ecosystemconservation. Payments for Environmental Services (PES) approaches have been shown to providepotential in this respect and could substantially facilitate integration of upstream, downstream andcoastal zone management. However, while these approaches are currently being promoted at a largescale, worldwide experiences in watershed and coastal contexts are still limited to a few cases, and thereis a general lack of scientific inquiry. In addition, development of such mechanisms and instrumentsrequires a thorough understanding of the conflicting multi-functionality of rivers, their catchments andtheir associated coastal areas and of the drivers of change, including (partly historical) socioeconomicdynamics.

In this context, one part of the research aims at a social-scientific spatial theoretical analysis of upstream-downstream and urban-rural interrelations with regard to the fluid resource water. Issues of urban drinking and waste water services or transformations in coastal areas will be linked to transformations of human-nature relations upstream. This part of the research will focus on the Segara Anakan lagoon and its catchment area in Java and on the Kapuas River in West Kalimantan.

A second part of the research will explore the potentials of new economic instruments and governance mechanisms aiming at both watershed conservation and sustainable management of mangrove areas. This research focusses on an assessment of existing PES schemes in different parts of Indonesia, their institutional arrangements and their effects on resource use decisions and patterns of resource access and control. Based on the insights gained, the research will in a second step explore potentials and possible arrangements of new integrated governance instruments for the mangrove-fringed Segara Anakan lagoon and its catchment area. Objectives

The objectives of the research are to:

• Analyse upstream-downstream and urban-rural interrelations with regard to the fluidresource water and explore the conflicting multi-functionality of rivers in Indonesia,

Abstrak

This research proposes to investigate the dynamics of marine resource use, social networks and nature conservation in two of Indonesia’s regional MCAs in Spermonde (Sulawesi) and Berau (Kalimantan) to generate empirical data for socially informed policy making. We propose



an in-depth exploration of diverging perspectives of stakeholders regarding the MCAs and link these to their underlying perceptions of nature and sustainability. Through a focus on social networks the study intends to point out the conditions that facilitate the fruitful collaboration and exchange of knowledge across different societal scales and places. These insights provide essential interdisciplinary groundwork for policymaking that supports sustainable partnerships in Indonesia’s regional (marine) resource management. General research question: How are different ‘ideas of MCA* formed in relation to the social networks stakeholders participate in, and how does the enactment of these different ideas influence the ways in which interventions for marine conservation are acted out in practice in Spermonde and Berau?

The proposed research uses an empirical case study approach and most of the research is therefore carried out in two MCAs in Indonesia: Berau (Kalimantan) and Spermonde (Sulawesi). The Berau MCA in East-Kalimantan was established under Law 31/2004 and Government Regulation 60/2007 and part of the Spermonde archipelago just off Sulawesi’s southwest coast was declared an MCA under Law 27/2007. Both MCAs are part of a new generation of Indonesian conservation areas falling under district authority, with a policy framework that explicitly acknowledges the need for multi-level and multi-sector involvement in MCA building and active participation of local communities through co-management arrangements (COREMAP, 2002; Glaser et al., 2010 (for Spermonde); Wiryawan et al., 2005; WWF, 2009 (for B”erau)). The two sites are related by a common cultural-historical origin of the majority of the people in both sides from Sulawesi by migration (Mandar, Buginese, Makassarese and Bajau), and family networks between these two MCA areas across the sea (Makassar Strait) exist until today as well as direct trade and fishing networks linking the Berau coast to Spermonde traders (Zerner, 2003).

The choice for two sites enables us to show how different configurations of interests and perspectives lead to different MCA outcomes. This enables all stakeholders to use the insights of this research to reflect on the role of the MCA within Indonesia’s decentralization process and regional development planning. The research in Indonesia is planned to be carried out from November 2011 to November 2012.

Abstract

Fisheries governances the Coral Trianglehas not prevent edtheoverexploitation oftropicaloceanic species, most notablyyellowfin and bigeye.Innovation in tuna fisheries management is needed to ensure: that the growingindustry limits pressure on the overexploited tunas and other vulnerable spedesas marlins, turtles and sharks. The proposed research willl explore the potential for acredit systemto incentivize equitable “sustainabletuna fisheries management inIndonesia”.

Indications forsuccess:The research will feed into network of academics, policy makers, NGOs and fish chain actors in the Coral Triangle, including Indonesia, around alternative tuna management tools (see Pet-Soede et.al. 2010). Fishers, NGOs and policy makers alike have already shown interest in incentive based management at both national and regional levels. Workingwith these groups of key actors will increase receptiveness for the further development and introduction of a tuna credit system.

Abstract

Research Obfectives

The overall objective of this research project is to normatively determine optimal land use decisions of farmers. In doing so, we calculate economic-ecological trade-offs between different land use systems. Finally we will be able to analyze the effects of different economic incentives to realize more sustainable land use systems in different villages in Jambi from a normative viewpoint. We will answer the following questions:

• WhatisthesubjectiveriskattitudeoffarmersinIndonesiaandhowcanweempiricallyquantify it?

Research location

The research will implemented in Jambi Province in Sumatra, with the fastest and most complete transformation of tropical lowland rainforest. We focus on tropical lowland rainforests as these are experiencing the strongest losses worldwide (Achard et al. 2002). In particular, the massive transformation of lowland rainforest into oil palm plantations has been identified as a major threat for biodiversity and a potential driver of climate change (Danielsen et al. 2009. Giam et al. 2010, Wilcove and Koh 2010).

Two landscapes within Jambi Province have been chosen for the CRC research comprising large units of lowland rainforest: National Park Bukit Duabelas and Harapan Rainforest. The transformation systems to be investigated include lowland rainforest as reference sites, jungle rubber (extensive rubber plantations), and intensive rubber and oil palm plantations. Lowland rainforest reference sites represent old-growth forest but have been subject to logging. Large sites of untouched natural rainforest are no longer existing in Jambi province, but the lowland rainforest reference sites selected represent large rainforest regions in a close to natural state. Jungle rubber represents an extensive management system which is established by planting rubber trees into rainforest. Its implementation dates back into the early 20th century but still covers large areas of Jambi. In each of the two landscapes (comprising blocks in a randomized complete block design), four replicates of each of the four transformation systems (including the lowland rainforest as reference) will be investigated. These 32 sites will constitute the core sites; covering these core sites is mandatory for all CRC scientific projects (SPs) that collect micro level data. In addition to investigating established transformation systems, a reforestation experiment will be established near Harapan Rainforest landscape. The experiment aims at investigating principal questions of how to establish sustainable forest management systems, optimizing both conservation needs and socioeconomic benefits. Apart from the work on these sites and on the reforestation experiment, socioeconomic surveys will be undertaken in the same sites, but also including a broader area in Jambi Province to be able to capture institutional heterogeneity, which is important for comprehensive understanding of socioeconomic causes and consequences of land use changes.

Abstract

Agricultural markets extend through the entire food system from input supply to farm production, collection, processing, packaging, transportation, and all the way to final consumption of retail food products. Vertical coordination throughout the system ranges from spot market transactions through contracting to full vertical integration. There is potential for noncompetitive behavior and for collective action to countervail it. Agricultural marketing activities occur over space and through time, linked by interregional trade and storage. Agents throughout the food system are subject to risk and uncertainty, which has led to an important role for market information systems and risk management through futures, options, and insurance. Agricultural markets also have been a rich source of data, providing impetus for numerous advances in econometric modeling of price and market systems. In developed economies, liberalization for agricultural markets has resulted in concentration and vertical integration, with a small number of large corporations purchasing directly from farmers and selling to distributors. In many instances, producers have become sub-contractors with agro-business corporations that provide them with credit and inputs and purchase their output.



In contrast to developed countries, market liberalization in poor countries has resulted in deconcentration and specialization. As state-controlled agricultural marketing boards were abolished or scaled down, domestic trade in agri-cultural products was taken over by a myriad of small operator operating in a rudimentary fashion. A lot of researchers attended to clarify the mechanism of small operators as profit maximizer. It, however, hasn’t been revealed clearly, because the transition mechanism depends on situations of each developing country.

In this study, we focused on food retail market in Jawa, Indonesia as case study. The market has enormous power bringing by supermarkets to proceed to modern market mechanisms like above from traditional market system like Bazaar (Geertz 1978). Supermarkets are traditionally viewed by development economists, policymakers, and practitioners as the rich world’s place to shop. But supermarkets are no longer just niche players for rich consumers in the capital cities of the countries in these regions; Southeast Asian countries—Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand—is 33%, but is 63% forEast Asian countries—Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and Philippines—(ACNielsen). The rapid rise of supermarkets in the past five to ten years has transformed agrifood markets at different rates and depths across regions and countries. Many of those transformations present great challenges—even exclusion—for small farms, and small processing and distribution firms, but also potentially great opportunities. Developmentmodels, policies, and programs need to adapt to this radical change. Furthermore, local markets in Indonesia tend to be influenced by international trade, especially introducing FTA and activity of ASEAN. Those complex situations around Indonesia affect the way of transformation of markets so that we have to analyze it from multiple view points, which detail is explained next chapter.

First view point is market integration theory, which has origin at industrial organization theory. It is a very useful tool to clarify the market efficiency as general data for following analysis. Second view point is decision making of merchants on procurement system. We adopt micro economic theory to the problem for investigating more micro behaviors of traders than first view point. Third one is network analysis for market place. It refers to horizontal relationship among traders, comparing with latent two viewpoints. And we can analyze the role of society on market places affecting the economic and social decision making of traders. Introducing network theory to economic theory, we integrated game theory and social network theory and econometrics to conduct the study. Last point is trade theory for the liberalization of food retail markets. That analysis mainly use the secondly data from World Bank or other institutions of development studies. It will be aimed to integrate the first analysis to clarify the market behavior to compare with other developing countries, Philippine, Malaysia, Thailand, China and such that.

(P.5) Improving the sustainability of cocoa production in eastern Indonesia throughintegrated pest, disease and soil management in an effective extension andpolicy environment

Abstract

In the 1980s and 90s, smallholder cocoa production expanded rapidly in Sulawesi driven by the initiative of farmers, abundance of suitable land, fertility of forest soils, availability of migrant labour, minimal pest and disease damage, and the development of competitive supply and cocoa buying chains. Cocoa greatly boosted the incomes of over 500,000 smallholders in Sulawesi and other outer regions, and Sulawesi rapidly became the third largest producer of cocoa in the world. The sustainability of this sector is now threatened as land has become scarce, soil fertility has declined, and pest and disease problems have built up to destructive levels, reducing the yield, quality and profitability of cocoa. The Indonesian government, through the National Cocoa Revitalisation Program (GERNAS), is seeking technical, extension and policy interventions that will ensure the long-term sustainability of existing cocoa production in



eastern Indonesia; AGB/2010/011 aims to support the implementation of GERNAS by providing the research and extension needed for the production of high quality cocoa in sustainable smallholder systems.

Previous ACIAR cocoa projects (CP/2000/102, SMAR/2005/074, ASEM/2003/015) in Indonesia and PNG have lead the development and widespread adoption of improved cocoa clones, methods of grafting these onto mature trees, and integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) involving mainly cultural measures, and have influenced national policies and programs such as GERNAS and cocoa breeding at the Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute (ICCRI). However, aspects of cocoa production . requiring further research to sustain smallholder livelihoods have been identified: depletion of soil fertility over three decades with little fertilisation has greatly reduced productivity and damage by pests and diseases has greatly increased; since 2004 the symptoms of vascular-streak dieback (VSD) have changed dramatically and the disease has become a major problem. Also, ineffective extension linkages and poor functioning of market-based incentives have constrained farmer adoption of sustainable farming practices.

Accordingly, the objectives of this project are: (1) to develop improved smallholder soil fertilisation practices, including use of locally sourced organic composts and inorganic fertilisers, (2) to investigate the reasons for the substantial changes in VSD symptoms and severity, (3) to continue on-farm testing and dissemination of improved cocoa clones, and (4) to implement and test improved extension methods and analyse existing policies aimed at improving farm management. IPDM trials involving farmer participation and farmer-to-farmer extension will be used as an extension focus and digital communication technologies will be used to ensure greater exposure of trials and more effective dissemination of knowledge. Research activities will be conducted at one location in Sulawesi and one in West Papua, while IPDM participatory trials will be established more widely by participating extension agencies. The applied technical research will be linked to social science research aimed at improving the engagement of extension services and farmers and generating clear policy recommendations for programs to improve sustainability of cocoa production. Achievement of these objectives will break the boom and bust cycle which has characterised cocoa farming globally, and will lead to a more secure future for cocoa farmers and their communities and reduce the pressure for expansion of cocoa farming into forested areas.

Three institutions in Australia (La Trobe University, The University of Sydney and Mars Inc.) will work with Indonesian partners in Sulawesi, Java and Papua, coordinated by the Balai Pengkajian Teknologi Pertanian (BPTP; Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology - AIAT) in South Sulawesi, the Cocoa Research Group at Hasanuddin University (UNHAS), Makassar, and the Biotechnology Research Institute for Estate Crops (BRIEC), Bogor. Other Indonesian partners will be ICCRI in East Java, AIAT Papua, AIAT West Papua, AIAT Central Sulawesi, Mars



Symbioscience, The University of Papua (UNIPA), and the Dinas Perkebunan agencies in West Sulawesi and West Papua.

(Q.1) Political Pluralism in Indonesia’s Multi-Party System

Tujuan Penelitian : Menganalisis perkembangan pluralisme politik dalam sistem politik multipartai di Indonesia

Bidang Penelitian : Ilmu Politik


Daerah Penelitian : DKI Jakarta, Jawa Barat (Bandung)

Mitra Kerja : Dr. Mangadar Situmorang–FISIP Universitas Parahyangan

Abstract

Objectives:The objective of this research is to analyse the development of political pluralism in Indonesia’s multi-party system.

Outline:

Indonesia is beginning to gear up for the next legislative and presidential elections set to be held in 2014. In the lead up to this important event, this study will analyse the Indonesian politicalsystem with a focus on the prevalence of political pluralism. The current party system in Indonesia is shaped by Indonesia’s unique cultural, social and political history. From Indonesia’s period of Parliamentary Democracy in the 1950s, to Guided Democracy in the 1960s, and Pancasila Democracy in the 1970s and 1980s, Indonesia has undergone a multitude of political systems with different characteristics. This history continues to influence and shape Indonesia’s political system today. Since the opening of the political system more than one decade ago, Indonesia’s political landscape has become increasingly plural and diversified in accordance with Indonesia’s political and social needs. Pluralism was allowed and encouraged within a broader framework of unity, cohesion and balance. For example, the implementation of Law 31 of 2002 allowed dozens of new political parties to emerge, while at the same time regulating the new multi-party system in a number of ways. Firstly, in order to stabilize the system, parties were required to reach a minimal threshold of 2.5% in order to gain representation in the



Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR, People’s Representative Council). Secondly, parties must have a presence in a majority of Indonesia’s provinces, in order to encourage national parties, rather than regional parties that could endanger national unity. And finally, parties must also adhere to the Pancasila ideology and stay in accordance with the 1945 Constitution in order to prevent the emergence of parties that do not comply with Indonesia’s state ideology. These methods of organizing Indonesia’s political system are the result of two factors. Firstly, Indonesia’s history as a plural society, with culturally, religiously and politically diversity presents challenges for government that are found in few other states. This has given rise to uniquely Indonesian concepts such as the Pancasila ideology, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity), and NKRI (The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia). Secondly, democratic reforms that have taken place over the last decade have transformed Indonesia’s political system to such an extent that Indonesia is today widely considered the most democratic nation in Southeast Asia, and globally a model for how democracy can function in a Muslim majority nation. As such, Indonesia’s system represents a fusion of the traditional and the modern as well as the local and the global. With such unique features, this study has two goals, one theoretical and one analytical; Firstly, the rapid changes that are taking place in Indonesia’s political system offer political scientists new perspectives for the theoretical study of concepts such as political orders in plural societies. Secondly, Indonesia’s preparations for the next national elections in 2014 represent another practical milestone in Indonesian democracy and required careful analysis.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to fuse a theoretical evaluation of how plural societies are governed, with an analysis of the issues surrounding the implementation of a multi-party system in Indonesia in the run up to the 2014 legislative and presidential elections.

Abstract

Among new debates over public religion in Indonesia, the question of Islamic liberalism and the activism of the Liberal Islam Network {Jaringan Islam Liberal) have received a considerable amount of attention. In general, very little has been written about the vocal critiques of the Liberal Islam Network from within the “Islamic academy” in Indonesia and Malaysia. A considerable number of these academic critics in Indonesia received graduate training from the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC) at the International Islamic University in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The objective of this research is to determine the influence of ISTAC and identify how particular concepts and arguments associated with the Institute have been appropriated by conservative thinkers in Indonesia. An Association of South-East Asian Studies in the United Kingdom grant will allow me to carry out two months of research in Malaysia and Indonesia. In Indonesia I will interview graduates of the Institute as well as liberal intellectuals who are the object of their critiques.

Abstract

Indonesia is a global leader in the climate change program, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). The Government of Indonesia is currently developing a national policy framework and building institutional capacity to implement REDD+ programs and activities. Indonesia is also host to large number of demonstration projects located in different provinces. These policies and projects are developing new methods and institutions to manage forest carbon and provide financial incentives and development opportunities. These REDD+ programs and projects are coordinated by different government agencies, and engage a number of private forest companies, communities and landowners, consultants and non-government organisations. This research project is analysing the multi-level environmental governance of REDD+ implementation in Indonesia, with a focus on the national policy architecture and on demonstration projects. The research will analyse the policy instruments, the institutions and the government agencies and private organisations engaged in REDD+ programs and projects. The purpose is to provide applied research that is of benefit to practitioners engaged in REDD+ implementation and contribute to research in the fields of climate change, international relations and public policy. Data collection will require interviews with representatives from the Government of Indonesia agencies, private companies and project consultants and NGOs engaged in REDD+ programs and demonstration projects in Indonesia.

Background

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is a key mechanism under negotiation in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Since 2007, a number of countries have commenced implementing REDD+ policies and measures, and investing in demonstration projects. These projects involve forest carbon activities, such as large scale conservation and management, the rehabilitation of degraded forests and peatland, and reforestation or plantations.

Indonesia is a global leader in the development of REDD+ programs and projects. The Government of Indonesia is currently developing a National REDD+ Strategy, has issued a number of decrees and regulations, and is building institutions to support national implementation. Indonesia is also host to an expanding number of on-ground demonstration projects located across the provinces. There is also significant government investment in capacity building and technical development in areas such as monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of forest emissions. The emerging REDD+ program in Indonesia is highly complex and interacts with international policy developments, and with project activities at the local/provincial level.



Indonesia is a member of the UN-REDD Program and the World Bank Forest Carbon Partnership Facility. The Government of Indonesia has also developed bilateral partnerships with the Norwegian, Australian and German Governments. Many of the demonstration projects have been financed from multilateral funds, donor government programs or from private companies and investment banks. Projects are also being developed to generate carbon credits that can be traded in carbon markets. The development and operation of these REDD+ programs and projects engages a variety of stakeholders including; national and provincial government agencies; landowners, and communities; private companies and project consultants; and non-government organisations (NGOs).

Objectives

The proposed research will analyse the multi-level environmental governance of REDD+, with a focus on Indonesia. Broadly the research aims to understand how the governance of REDD+ operates across different levels - from projects, to national and international programs. The research will analyse three key aspects to the governance of REDD+ including; the different policies and measures (PAMs); the institutions that facilitate implementation; and the different agencies and organisations involved.The research objectives are:

• AnalysethegovernanceREDD+implementationinIndonesiaincluding;nationalpolicyframeworks; national decrees, laws and regulations; national REDD+ institutions, including monitoring,reportingandverification(MRV)systems;

• Study the governance of REDD+ demonstration projects in Indonesia and the role ofthe different government agencies and non-government organisations and private companies involved in the projects.

• Analyse the governance linkages and relationships between demonstration projectactivities, national level REDD+ policies and measures and international frameworks and financingmechanisms,includingfundsandcarbonmarkets.

There is a growing body of research on REDD+ that focuses on the technical and scientific needs, the incentive instruments, and social and economic issues. This research on multi-level environmental governance is a new and important approach that aims to understand how REDD+ programs and projects are being governed in Indonesia.

Outputs

The purpose of the research is to understand and analyse the complex governance of REDD+ in Indonesia and provide an important contribution to the implementation of REDD+ programs and to academic scholarship in this field.

The research will provide a practical contribution to REDD+ programs and projects in Indonesia and more broadly in the Asia-Pacific region. The study will develop applied knowledge on REDD+ implementation that is of benefit to practitioners, to government agencies and other organisations. The research will provide a report that covers:

• TheREDD+environmentalgovernancesystemsinIndonesiaandhowtheyoperate.

• ThekeydriversofREDD+governance,outliningthepolicyandinstitutionalfactorsandthe role of different agencies and organisations.

• InformationonhowREDD+governancesystemscouldbestreamlined toenhance thedelivery of REDD programs and projects.

Theory component

The research will also develop theory in the areas of multi-level environmental governance of climate change. The study will aim to theorise how the different REDD+ programs and activities function across the different levels. The outputs will be articles in refereed journals.Please note that the research is not intended to be critical of the Government of Indonesia or be controversial. The research is designed to develop knowledge on REDD+ governance that will assist the effective and successful implementation of programs and projects.

Methodology:

The research will apply a qualitative research methodology using a case study framework. Data will be collected from publicly available documents including REDD+ project reports, Indonesian Government agency reports, decrees and legislation, and from agency and organisation websites. Data will also be collected from reports published by consultants, carbon companies, science and research organisations and non-government stakeholders.

Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with a cross section of different representatives and stakeholders involved in the governance of REDD+ programs and demonstration projects. This includes the Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Environment, BAPPENAS and other relevant agencies. Interviews will also be conducted with private companies, research organisations and NGOs engaged in REDD+ projects and programs. All interviews will be confidential and names and contacts of participants will not be recorded, and any interview data used will be anonymous. Data will be kept secure and locked in a filing system and on a password protected computer files. All interviews will be conducted in Jakarta and Bogor.



The research in Indonesia has been approved by the Griffith University Research Ethics Committee (Protocol number PPP/05/11/HREC) and complies with Australian Government Ethical Standards for research. The research project has been approved by the Griffith Research School, the Griffith Business School and the Department of Politics and Public Policy.

Concept:

The research is in the disciplines of international relations and public policy, with a focus on governance. Environmental governance is an emerging research field and will be used as the conceptual framework for this project. Environmental governance relates to the different steering mechanisms and processes to respond to environmental issues, such as the policy instruments, and the political and social institutions (Lemos and Agrawal 2006; Young 2009). Environmental governance also relates to the networks of government, private and civil society organisations engaged in developing and implementing environmental policies and programs (Bierman and Patteberg 2008). One type of environmental governance model is public-private partnerships between government, private companies and other stakeholders.

Multi-level environmental governance is a relatively new concept that has been used to describe and analyse how environment programs have been developed and implemented in different countries. The approach has also been used to evaluate the different layers of governance in any national or international climate program (Kern and Bulkeley. 2009). Multi-level governance has also been suggested as useful framework for studying REDD+ implementation (Skutch and Van Laake 2009; Thompson et al 2011). However, this research will be one of the first projects to apply a multi-level governance framework to REDD+ in Indonesia or across the Asia Pacific region.

(Q.5) After Authority: Media and Political Communication in Post-Suharto Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari proses demokratisasi di Indonesia pasca 1998 dari sudut pandang kebebasan pers dan teknologi media

Abstract

Research Objectives:

This research aims to understand the process of democratization in Indonesia post-1998 through an understanding of how new press freedoms and new media technologies have led to a more open and participatory public sphere. This is a study of media in the broadest sense. While studies of “media” tend to focus on the mainstream print and electronic press, my interest is in the interactions between these more mainstream, established media (usually referred to as “the media”) and alternative or “small” media such as Internet-based social media, blogging, street and protest art, amateur documentary film, VCDs, cell phones, digital photography, political cartoons, art exhibitions, even children’s drawings. I am interested in how privatized, decentralized, informal and unregulated media such as these contribute to the inclusion of once excluded voices in the national conversation: former political prisoners, radical Islamists, Chinese Indonesians, human rights activists, etc. The research will focus on a series of events or controversies in which new or alternative media became central to public discussions about the nation’s past, present, and future. In these debates (about political corruption, pprnography, human rights abuses, the representation of history, etc.), media technologies serve not only as the material means for new forms of political communication but also as important symbols of both the liberating possibilities of transparency and democracy and the threat of obscured power, porous national borders, morally suspect promiscuity, and unauthored rumors.

This project aims to dissect the role of media technology within two interlinked post-authoritarian outcomes: a more vital, participatory public sphere, on the one hand, and oneplagued by doubt, suspicion, and anxiety, on the other. I argue that these apparently contradictory outcomes are mutually constitutive aspects of a post-authoritarian “crisis of credibility,” which manifests in intensive questioning of—and heightened longing for—authority and authenticity.



I plan to produce an academic book that will contribute to the study of democratic transitions and to the understanding of Indonesia’s recent history. It will be of use to Indonesianists, anthropologists, and those in related fields such as media studies and communications.

Methodology:

The primary method will be interviewing of key players in the various arenas of public debate that I will explore (journalists, artists, filmmakers, historians, bloggers, activists, etc.). These will be open-ended interviews. I will record them when acceptable to the interviewee. I will use pseudonyms and protect the confidentiality of my interviewees, except when they explicitly want their real names to be used. I will use snowball techniques to pursue additional subjects for interviews. In addition I will be collecting relevant documentary materials such as newspaper clippings, exhibition catalogues, photographs of art works, videotapes, etc.

(Q.6) Exploring the Political Edge: Conservation in an Era of Political Decentralization at Indonesia’s Kerinci Seblat National Park

Abstract

This dissertation examines the effects of decentralization on protected areas in Indonesia using Sumatra’s Kerinci Seblat National Park as a case study. Sweeping decentralization reforms were implemented in 2001 after decades of central rule by the authoritarian Suharto regime. The reforms devolved significant powers to the district level while national parks remained under the control of the central government. The unfolding of decentralization has created a number of conflicts related to conservation. These conflicts stem from fundamental contradictions created by decentralization: for the districts the new powers came with new responsibilities to generate operating revenue and provide development opportunities for constituents. These goals are often met by encouraging agricultural expansion and natural resource extraction, but for the districts around the park these options are limited, because the park remains under central government control, and so trees, minerals, and land contained within are off limits.

This dissertation is a systematic examination of the implementation of decentralization reforms after the first decade. The 15 districts around the park vary in terms of the types and intensity of pressure exerted on the park. I trace the de jure and de facto networks that determine access and control, and the driving interests behind these networks. Few studies have examined in-depth the effects decentralization has had on national-park based conservation in Indonesia. In addition this project makes contributions to political ecology as it examines the interface between policies and on-the-ground actors in an attempt to illustrate why people make the choices they make. Finally, this dissertation examines a fundamental contradiction: that of district level development priorities which push for exploitation of natural resources juxtaposed with national and global scale conservation priorities which support preservation and conservation.

Abstract

The Ministry of Forestry’s vision for the future of Indonesian forestry sector is elaborated in the Forestry Master Plan 2025. It envisions revitalization of the ailing plywood and veneer industries and the expansion of FMU and plantation based timber supplies. The revitalization and expansion of the forestry sector is aimed at regaining the position of the forestry sector as a major contributor to the national GDP and an important driver of employment and rural development. The growth target is accompanied by parallel measures to ensure compliance with legality and sustainability standards. That is why the Government of Indonesia has signed the VPA agreement with EC in late 2011 and is implementing the timber legality verification system (TLAS), known as SVLK. SVLK is to become mandatory in March 2012.

While there is general support for SVLK among the forestry sector practitioners, there is also a concern about higher costs this system may entail. Some observers indicate that SVLK may drive production costs up by as much as 25%. It is therefore important to examine the economic and social implications of the implementation of this new timber legality assurance system, especially for small and medium forestry enterprises in Indonesia. This project aims to assess these implications. It will examine the challenges that small and medium enterprises face in implementing new limber legality verification systems. Finally, it will provide policy and management options to ensure efficient and effective implementation of SVLK which supports revitalization of the forestry sector in Indonesia.

Abstrak

Diabetes is classified as one of the main life-style-related disease, and is affected by daily diet and/or the amount of exercise. Research on aspects of diabetes and other life-style-related disease will help to understand the Public Policies including social systems, and medical systems of Indonesia.

Diabetes and life-style-related diseases are no longer limited to diseases of developed countries and the number of diabetics is increasing worldwide in developing nations. Indonesia is no exception and has the 4* largest number of diabeties of any country in the world, after India, China, and the USA. Of the population of Indonesia, 8.6% of the population are diabetics, and the Dumber of patients who suffer from this disease have increased dramatically from 4.5 million in 1995 to 12.4 million by 2025, based on surveys conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health of Indonesia (KEMKES).

Since 1986, the Indonesian government has been taking the lead in making provisions for dealing with diabetes. Congress and medical doctors have cooperated and established the Association of Diabetes in Indonesia (PERSADIA), whose headquarters are in Jakarta and has expanded to 11 regions, 92 departments, and 172 units/clubs all over Indonesia.



In Indonesia, the association has promoted and initiated treatment and research in each region or district, nevertheless, it has been unable to stop the increase in the number of diabetics. Diabetes awareness increased in 2006 when The United Nations declared “Unitefor Diabetes”. Since this declaration, societies, generally, have become increasingly aware of diabetes, especially in the main cities of Indonesia. Also in this year, 2006, KEMKES founded the Office for Diabetes Mellitus in the Directorate of Non Communicable Disease (NCD) Control and started to tackle with life-style-related diseases in Indonesia.

Research Objectives

This research has two primary objectives: (1) To determine how Indonesia is dealing with public policies on diabetes and life-style-related diseases, and (2) to analyze how this process is transmitted to secondary levels, such as regions or districts as identified in the Figure.

For regions or districts identified in ‘4. Fieldwork Locations’, to determine how public policies on diabetes and life-style-related diseases affects individual patients in concerned regions or districts.

Abstract

This project will contribute to an overview of call innovations made by wild Sumatran orangutans. The special focus will be on three kinds of sounds: the nesting sounds (known as raspberry sounds at Suaq Balimbing), the mother-infants sounds and some “private” sounds in other context. Data from previous studies on vocal repertoire of the orang-utans will be combined with the data that will be collected during this research, in order to get insight of the function, the origin and the ontogeny of these sounds. The project will be conducted in coordination with other projects from the University of Zurich. So far, most of the studies on the cultural and functional aspect of the vocal repertoire of the orang-utans were made in Borneo (Marietta P., 2007, Naso A., 2007, Spillmann B. et al., 2010). Thus, the aim of this project is to produce additional data on these specific sounds from Sumatran orang-utans. Moreover, the comparisons with the Bornean data will help us to shed light on differences between the two populations, which might contribute to our understanding of the function, origin and ontogeny of these sounds.



The aim of this project is to investigate the call repertoire made by wild orang-utans at Suaq Balimbing, Sumatra, Indonesia. Ecological context data and daily sound records on several age-sex classes will be collected in a wild population of orang-utans. Detailed data on nesting sounds, mother-infants sounds and sounds in other context, including possibly “private” sounds, are needed to have a better understanding of the function, origin and ontogeny of these sounds.

Orang-utans are known to have a rich sound repertoire including 32 different sounds and vocalizations that can be distinguished such as long call, kiss squeaks or raspberry sounds (Hardus M.E. et al., 2009a). However, little is known about the functional aspect of many less-conspicuous sounds but a plausible hypothesis is that they can serve as a communicative signal. If the nest-building sounds have a function in the communication, we would expect the closest neighbours to start building their own nest soon after the signaller made these calls even if they might move a little bit away in order to regulate the distance between them. Equally, if the mother-offspring sounds serve as a communicative signal, we would expect that the infant will join his mother straight after she produced a specific soundor that the mother will allow the infant to suckle just after it asked for it by making a special sound. As some nesting sounds are similar to some feeding sounds, we might think that they have got the same origin. If they do, an orang-utan making such a feeding sound is expected to produce the same sound while building his nest and inversely, an orang-utan making a nesting sound is expected to produce the same sound while foraging.

To have a better understanding of the meaning of the nesting sounds, and so their function, playback experiments in the field will be conducted. As they are similar to some feeding sounds, it will be very interesting to do some analyses and comparisons of the recordings to obtain more information on the origin of the nesting sounds. To investigate the ontogeny of the sounds made by orang-utans, the comparisons of these sounds between several individuals should give us already an idea about the first use of these sounds by young orang-utans. Moreover, the ecological context will be carefully studied to determine whether there are some regularities for these sounds. Finally, the analyses of the ecological data and the private sounds will allow us to establish whether some sounds could be innovations and if they can be socially transmitter.

Although the presence of culture has been demonstrated in several animal taxa such as birds, cetaceans and primates (Kmtzen M. ef al., 2005, Madden J.R., 2008, Whiten A. er al., 1999), there is still no standard definition of “culture”. However, the definition of this term as “the possession of multiple traditions, spanning different domains of behaviour such as foraging techniques and social customs” by Whiten & van Schaik (2007) would likely be acceptable by most researchers. As traditions are defined as “behavioural practices that are inherited over generations through social learning” by Perry & Manson (2003), a species can show cultural behaviour as soon as some innovations, that cannot be due to genetics or explained by



ecological conditions, are socially transmitted over generations of the same species. Long-field studies on the geographic variations of the behaviour of wild populations of orang-utans in Indonesia provided evidence of culture in this Asian great ape (Schaik C.P.v. et al., 2003). Indeed, Elizabeth Fox and her colleagues demonstrated that the ecological factor does not contribute to variation in tool-based insect foraging strategies in Sumatra comparing to other populations (Fox E.A. et al., 2004). However, diet traditions in two populations of wild Bornean orang-utans, that are genetically identical living in a similar habitat but are separated by a river impassable for orang-utans, were established in a recent study (Bastian M.L et al., 2010). Moreover, research on feeding-related knowledge of immature orang-utans demonstrated that they learn these foraging skills socially through vertical transmission by enhancement or observational learning (Dindo M. et al., 2010, Jaeggi A.V. et al., 2010). Thus, the presence of culture among orang-utans is very likely.

Data will be collected daily by following focal animals from their morning nest to the evening nest, hence from dawn to dusk. During this time wild orang-utans will be observed and their behaviour recorded using the standard methods published on the orang-utan network (http://www.aim.uzh.ch/orangutannetwork.html). Ad libitum sound records will be collected during the day. Later, playback experiments will be performed under appropriate circumstances of the day and analysed to determine the function, the origin and the ontogeny of the nesting sounds, the mother-infant sounds and all other private sounds.

All data will be collected between January and June 2012. This research will take place at Suaq Balimbing Research Station (3’42’N, 97’26’E), Aceh Selatan, within the Gunung Leuser National Park located in the north of Sumatra, Indonesia. The research area of 500ha consists of peat-swamp forest, with adjacent areas of mixed dipterocarp, riverine, and seasonally flooded freshwater swamp. At Suaq Balimbing orang-utans have been object to behavioural observations between 1992 and 1999 (Schaik C.P.v., 2004) and from 2007 to date.

Abstract

In August of 2008, a live group of pygmy tarsiers, Tarsius pumilus, was located on Mt. Rore Katimbu in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia by Dr. Sharon Gursky and the PI. Three individuals were captured, tagged, and observed. While several previous attempts to locate the tarsiers were unsuccessful, this was the first recorded observation of living specimens of pygmy tarsiers since the first museum specimens were collected in 1917. The recent successful capture indicates that the primate still exists in the wild at a density where field observation is feasible. This is a proposal to locate additional groups of pygmy tarsiers on Mt. Rore Katimbu and determine the density at which this primate lives, including group size and composition, home ranges, and distance between groups. As the conservation status of the nocturnal primate Tarsius pumilus is currently classified as data deficient, the results of this study will contribute to information on the conservation status of the species as well prepare for future research in the area.

Abstract

Culture can be defined in different ways, depending on the field of science. A widely accepted definition of culture equates it with the term tradition, namely, as distinct behavioral practices passed from one generation to another through socially aided learning. In this project, we use the concept of Whiten & van Schaik (2007), where culture is defined as “the possession of multiple traditions, spanning different domains of behaviour , such as foraging techniques and social customs.” Using the ‘geographic method’, differences in cultural behavior can be identified by comparing behavior of two different populations while ruling out ecological, genetical and other relevant explanations. In addition to humans, cultural differences between populations are found in many animal taxa, such as wild great apes, cetaceans and few bird species. Orangutans are known to possess cultural behavior in nest building or feeding. Studies between geographically and thus physically separated sites showed differences up to 60% in food choice, as well as differences in food-processing technique, nest construction or calls in orangutans. Recent studies found, that even clusters of females with home range-overlap might differ in their traditions in food choice, suggesting that also a social barrier might yield different traditions and therefore culture. However, it is unknown to what extent traditions in nest construction, food processing technique or food choice vary between social clusters.

In this project, I will compare the behavior of wild Bornean orangutans in from at least two clusters (known different matrilines) in terms of their food choice, food processing techniques as well as nest construction techniques. The sampling will be conducted in the fieldsite Tuanan, Kalimantan Tengah, starting in February until June. Using the geographic method, I will then identify different possible traditions, leading to a better understanding of cultural behavior in great apes and the behavior of orangutans in general.

(R.5) Home range establishment and flexibility among female orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) at the Tuanan Mawas Reserve, Central Kalimantan

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari mekanisme sosial dan perilaku yang memmepngaruhi perkembangan dan fleksibilitas home range pada orangutan betina


Lama Penelitian : 10(sepuluh) bulan mulai 9 Januari 2012


Mitra Kerja : Astri Zulfa, M.Si. - Fakultas Biologi Universitas Nasional

Abstract

An animal’s home range can be defined as the area that it normally occupies throughout its life after having established independence from its mother (Jolly, 1985). Home ranges generally include a core area, used most intensely, as well as a large periphery, parts of which may only seldom be used.

Orangutans are large-bodied, semi-solitary, arboreal frugivores (MacKinnon, 1974; Galdikas, 1985; 1988]. Scientists generally recognize two species: Pongo abelii on Sumatra and Pongo pygmaeus on Borneo. Primarily because of morphological differences, three subspecies of the Bornean P. pygmaeus are recognized: the Northwest Bornean orangutan (P. p. pygmaeus), the Central Bornean orangutan (P. p. wurmbif }, and the Northeast Bornean orangutan (P. p. mono) (Singleton et al., 2004). These (sub)species delineations correspond to genetic differences as well as differences in diet, gregariousness, morphology, and life history (Wich et al., 2009a). Pongo abelii have the least variable amount of fruit in their diet, the largest brains, the slowest life histories, and are the most gregarious (Wich et al, 2004; 2006; Taylor and



van Schaik, 2007; van Schaik et al., 2009). At the other end of the spectrum, P. pygmaeus mono have a highly variable amount of fruit in their diet, the smallest brains, the fastest life histories, and are the least gregarious (MacKinnon, 1974; Taylor and van Schaik, 2007; Morrogh-Bernard et al., 2009; van Schaik et al., 2009; Wich et al., 2009b). P. p. wurmbii appear to be intermediate on most accounts (van Schaik et al., 2009).

In all (sub)species of orangutans, the primary social units are single adult males, adult females with one or two dependent offspring, and single independent immatures (adolescent or subadult males and females) (Galdikas, 1985; van Schaik, 1999). Despite their semi-solitary nature, they are not without social organization and structure. Studies of Pongo abelii and P. pygmaeus spp have shown that orangutans associate preferentially with certain conspecifics and actively avoid or even antagonize other conspecifics (Singleton and van Schaik, 2002; Knott et al., 2008; Mitra Setia et al., 2009).

Orangutans’ social structure is also demonstrated by their home range location and overlap patterns. Recent genetic studies have demonstrated that orangutans exhibit female philopatry, with males dispersing (Arora etal., 2010; Morrogh-Bernard ctal., 2010; Nater et al., 2011; van Noordwijk et al., submitted) (but see Goossens et al., 2006). Adult males emigrate far from their natal areas - although the timing of this seems to be variable - and eventually set up vast homeranges which overlap those of many females as well as other males (Singleton and van Schaik, 2001; 2002; Morrogh-Bernard etal., 2010; vanNoordwijk et al., submitted). Adult female orangutans have small home ranges (relative to males) which are extremely stable over time and which overlap widely with those of neighboring adult females (Singleton and van Schaik, 2001; 2002; Knott et al., 2008; Wartmann et al., 2010; van Noordwijk et al., submitted). It has been observed that adult females form “clusters,” members of which have highly overlapping home ranges, preferentially associate with one another, and maybe related (Singleton and van Schaik, 2002; Knott et al., 2008) or are known to be related (van Noordwijk et al., submitted).

Studies that have sought to measure the size of adult female orangutan home ranges have produced remarkably differing results; everything from 40 to >850 hectares (Rodman, 1988; Singleton and van Schaik, 2001). Some of this variability can be explained by differences in study area sizes as well as the length of the studies - smaller study areas and shorter study periods produce smaller home range estimates (Singleton et al., 2009). Some of the observed variation in home range size, however, is thought to represent real ecological differences between individuals and populations (Singleton et al., 2009).

On an individual level, female orangutan home range size appears to be primarily correlated with reproductive phase. Some studies investigating female ranging and activity budgets have shown that sexually active females have larger home ranges and/or longer daily path lengths than adult females with infants (van Woerden et al., 2007; Wartmann et al., 2010).



Fox et al. (2004) also found that nulliparous female orangutans rested significantly less than other females and that lactating females had the shortest daily path lengths. The reasons for these variations likely have to do with changes in dietary preference, social allowance, mating effort, and overall energy allocation of female orangutans as they mature and age through different reproductive phases.

Furthermore, Galdikas (1995) observed the remarkably gregarious nature of adolescent female orangutans and concluded that because of their small body size, they were able to travel faster and further each day and maintain a higher degree of sociality without incurring the same energy costs as would fully adult females with infants. However, preliminary data from Tuanan did not show high association rates for young females, possibly due to demographic factors such as a lack of suitable peers (van Noordwijk, personal communication). Singleton and van Schaik (2001) found that a relatively large number of subadult females were seen in their study area only occasionally or even rarely and they speculated that these young females were exploring around their mothers’ home ranges before establishing home ranges of their own.

There is some evidence that the process of home range establishment is a complex and difficult social process for female orangutans. Although adult female orangutans arenot territorial - in that they do not actively defend their home range to the exclusion of all others - Knott etal. (2008) did find evidence of core area defense in the form of passive range exclusion at Gunung Palung. This passive range exclusion was achieved through mutual avoidance and occasional agonistic encounters, van Noordwijk etal. [submitted] did not find similar evidence of core range exclusion at Tuanan but they did witness resident females actively discouraging an unrelated female (immigrating to the study area after the forest of her own home range was cleared) from ranging in their already established home ranges. Furthermore, agonistic interactions between unrelated females were far more common than between mothers and their daughters or between sisters (van Noordwijk et al., submitted), and Knott et al. (2008) observed that when two females fought, the female within whose core area the fight took place, was more likely to win the encounter. The same is not true at Tuanan, however, where dominance rank is the primary predictor of the outcome of agonistic encounters, regardless of where the encounter takes place (van Noordwijk, personal communication). These finding all imply that relationships and relatedness play an important but variable role in the establishment and maintenance of a female’s home range.

Knott et al. (2008) further mention that the majority of the agonistic interactions between females documented in their study were between mothers and their juvenile or adolescent daughters at the time when the daughters were being pressured to travel independently. This alludes to the role of the mother in a female’s home range establishment.



To date there has been little research focusing specifically on the establishment and flexibility of the female home range. The behavioral mechanisms and complex social interactions that are involved in a female establishing and shifting her home range as she matures are not yet well understood, nor has this been quantitatively analyzed. A mother’s role in the establishment of her daughter’s home range has also not yet been studied in depth.

Objectives

The overall objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of female orangutan home range establishment and flexibility. We hope to answer the following questions:

• Whatarethebehavioralmechanismsofhomerangeestablishmentamongfemales?

• Whenandwithwhomdofemalesfirstventureoutoftheirnatalranges?

• Do maturing female orangutans first begin to range outside of their natal ranges inresponse to any immediate stimuli? (such as: male long calls, fruiting trees, chased by mother, etc.)

• Howdoadolescent/subadultfemales’behaviorsdifferwhentheyaremakingexcursionsout of their natal home ranges and their own core areas versus when they are within their natal home ranges and their own core areas?

• Whatarepotentialbenefitsoffemalephylopatryinorangutans?Whydofemalessetuphome ranges close to their mothers and sisters?

Methodology

This study will be conducted in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between Universitas Nasional Jakarta (UNAS) and the Anthropological Institute and Museum of the University of Zurich. Fieldwork will be conducted over a period of 6 to 8 months, in collaboration with the local field team at the Tuanan field station, students and researchers from our Indonesian partner Universitas Nasional, and foreign collaborators.

We will collect data for this study during focal animal follows of adolescent, subadult, and adult female orangutans. Whenever possible, orangutans will be followed from night nest to night nest. The data collected will be in accordance with standardized field methods (http://www.aim.uzh.ch/orangutannetwork/ FieldGuidelines.html). In addition, location data for the



focal individual will be noted every 30 minutes using a compass and nearby trail markers, or a hand-held GPS unit.

Subsequent data analysis will be conducted at the University of Zurich and will also include behavioral and location data collected by other past and present researchers at the Tuanan field station since 2003. Home range size will be calculated using minimum convex polygone methods as well as kernel density methods. We will use ArcGIS software to delineate 95% volume home ranges and 50% volume core areas using a fixed Gaussian kernel density estimation method, in accordance with methodology used by van Noordwijk et al. (submitted). Home ranges and core areas will be calculated for each individual for each year since 2003, thus allowing for an analysis of changes in range use over time.

In addition to home range and core area sizes, analyses will be performed to establish female’s daily travel distances and nest-to-nest distances. For each of these variables, comparisons between individuals and interannual comparisons for each individual (for which enough long-term data exists) will be conducted.

Where kin relationships are known, the extent of the overlap between these young females’ and their mothers’ and sisters’ home ranges and core areas will be established and compared to the overlap with unrelated females.

Special focus will be given to an analysis of behavior and sociality of females entering adulthood, especially while they are in the “excursion zones” of their home ranges (Singleton and van Schaik, 2001:906]. Their behavior and sociality while in this peripheral area will be compared to that while in their core areas as well as while in their mothers’ home ranges. This will allow us to establish the behavioral mechanisms of range exploration and eventual establishment.

There are currently several female orangutans ranging in the Tuanan study area who we will likely pay close attention to for this analysis (van Noordwijk, personal communication). Juni has been followed since 2003 (as an adolescent) and gave birth to her first offspring in 2006; thus there is ranging data covering her adolescent phase, sexually active phase, and mothering phase. Kondor was first followed as a dependent immature in 2003 and she is now ranging independently and is thought to perhaps be pregnant. Two other females, Milo (b. 2001) and Streisel (b. 2003) are both in the early stages of ranging independently from their mothers, while Cikipos (b. <2003), began her first sexual associations in 2008 (van Noordwijk, personal communication).

Abstract

Protein is believed to be a significant limiting factor for non-human primates in tropical environments (White, 1998; Milton, 1981; Milton, 1979), as all frugivorous primates supplement their diets with insects and/or leaves, which are high in protein (Conklin-Brittan et al., 1998; Oftedal, 1991; Rothman et al., 2008). Frugivorous primates may suffer a negative protein balance if body protein is mobilized to meet demands caused by low fruit availability. Orangutans may be particularly vulnerable to protein deficiency due to their habitat in which they experience long periods of low fruit availability punctuated by periods of extremely high fruit availability (Sakai et al., 2006). The objective of this research is to study protein balance in wild Bornean orangutans by collecting urine samples from focal individuals and measuring nitrogen levels. Our specific objectives include answering the following questions: Are orangutans at Tuanan energetically stressed during periods of low fruit availability? During periods of fruit scarcity, how much protein must be consumed in order to maintain neutral energy balance? Are orangutans at Tuanan undergoing tissue wasting due to low nitrogen intake? How does protein



utilization vary with the availability of preferred ripe fruit? Do the orangutans at Tuanan get enough protein when fruit is low by supplementing their diets with leaves, flowers, and inner-bark? Do orangutans at Tuanan adjust their activity patterns during periods of low nitrogen intake?This current project will add to the small amount of knowledge known about protein deficiency and protein regulation in wild primates. Protein cycling may occur during low periods of fruit availability when protein balance is negative. To answer the question, “During periods of fruit scarcity, do orangutans experience protein cycling?”, I will conduct full day focal samples, collecting behavioral and ecological data and urine samples. From the urine samples, urea concentration and nitrogen isotope ratios will be measured to determine protein cycling. Our approach involves the participation and training of local Indonesian scientists, students, and local assistants in the process of empirical measurement. We anticipate publishing our results in international scientific journals and presenting our results at scientific conferences.

Abstract

Determining if ape community-specific behavioral patterns are equivalent to human cultural differences is crucial in studying the origin of human cultural behaviors. There are still controversies in knowing if the same mechanisms as in humans create these differences, notably because there is no experimental proof that presumed ape cultural behaviors are socially transmitted. Additionally, even if these behaviors are cultural, do they really influence apes’ everyday life, as they do for humans? Here, I intend to address both questions through the use of field experiments, which aim at bringing the controlled settings of the laboratory directly in the species’ natural habitat. My previous work used the same settings in two communities of Ugandan chimpanzees. I showed that they reacted differently when attempting to retrieve inaccessible honey from a standardized hole. Given the absolute segregation of reactions between the two communities, I concluded that chimpanzees rely heavily on their cultural knowledge to solve problems in their environment. Chimpanzees also appeared to be culturally biased, in that their current knowledge was influencing how they comprehended their environment and could even prevent them from developing new behaviors. I wish to continue this work in orangutan communities that also vary in the same behavior as the chimpanzee communities I studied, prompting to conduct the same experiment with them. Doing so would make a more compelling case about this apparent cultural bias in ape cognition if I find the same results as in chimpanzees. Combined, the results of these studies will allow understanding more about our own evolution by isolating what components of human and animal cultures are common but also what is different to explain the uniqueness of our own species.

Research objective

My research objective is to produce a method that allows to study ape cultures directly in the wild and develop tools to compare them with similar paradigms used in human cultural studies so as to clearly identify what is similar and what is different between human and animal cultures.

Taking an evolutionary stance, the studies I have already conducted and the new ones I am proposing here, attempt to explore the evolutionary foundation of human cultural biases in studying its presence or absence in our closest relatives, great apes. To explore this question, I propose to use field experiments. Field experiments attempt to bring the controlled settings of the laboratory in the wild, in order to produce robust results which are less prone to critics such as observations that will continue to be dismissed as anecdotes, no matter how numerous they are, by the most skeptics. The results I obtained during my PhD suggest that a cultural bias is present in chimpanzees already. Here, I would like to extend my research to a less closely related species, the orangutan. Orangutans are, with chimpanzees, the only apes known to use



tools consistantly in the wild. They are also the species that diverged the longest time ago from humans among great apes. However, they are also considered to be a very good example of a ‘cultured’ animal species. Determining if a cultural bias is present in this species would open new horizons for comparative anthropology in showing that a cognitive culture such as humans experience may generally be common among great apes.

Research protocol

In order to investigate the cognitive impact of cultural knowledge on apes, I plan to implement field experiments with orangutans. During my PhD, I designed a task based on simple tool using behaviors (using a stick or a leaf to gather some honey), ‘the honey-trap experiment’. The new studies I am proposing aim at continuing my work in adapting this task to another species that also shows community-specific variations: the orangutan. This study will aim at replicating the findings in chimpanzees with several populations of orangutans in Sumatra with the same settings used with chimpanzees. Notably, two Sumatran populations, in Suaq Balimbing and Ketambe, are known to differ in their use of sticks while acquiring honey, a situation comparable to the chimpanzees I studied and that I wish to investigate. Additionally, I will compare this work with a preliminary analysis in orangutan sanctuaries which will act as a control to the findings in the wild, a study that was not implemented with chimpanzees.

The honey trap experiment in the wild and in sanctuaries

All the studies that I propose are based on the experimental protocols developed in my previous studies (Gruber et al. 2009; Gruber et al. 2011). I will manufacture portable logs from fallen trees in the orangutans’ natural habitats. All logs will be standardized to a length of 50 cm and a width of 25 cm. A 16 cm deep hole 4 by 5 cm wide will be drilled in the middle, using a manual drill (this width and depth, suitable for chimpanzees studies, may be adapted to orangutans following pilot studies in the sanctuaries). Logs will be positioned in locations frequently visited by the orangutans, such as on an arboreal pathway or near a feeding tree. Twigs, climbers, and leaves will be available as potential raw material for tools in large quantities. During experimental work, every morning, honey will be poured into the hole by the experimenter (TG) to 10 cm below the surface. Additionally, honeycombs will be used to cover the hole and protect it from insect invasion and to provide a conspicuous visual cue to the orangutans. A motion-sensitive video camera (PixController DVREye) will survey the hole and an immediate area of about 20 m2. All experiments will be set up in the absence of orangutans. Access to the honey spot will be unrestricted, and no additional means will be used to attract individuals to the hole or to encourage them to engage with it. The experimenter will then



leave the area. All recordings will be done with the remote video camera and additional video recordings will be shot by the experimenter with a Canon Legria FS200 handy video camera. No social interactions will take place between the experimenter and any of the animals.

Additional methodology for orangutan studies

The methodology described above will be used both in the field and in sanctuaries with wild and captive orangutans. In sanctuaries, the logs will be selected from the nearby environment which is familiar to orangutans. Additionally, two types of individuals are found in sanctuaries: rehabilitants which were captured as young animals, almost always before weaning and thus unlikely to have already acquired all the skills to survive independently in their natural habitat. Second, individuals found in the centers can be wild adult individuals which were displaced because of a loss of habitat. These individuals are known as translocated, as they are meant to stay in the centres only for a short time before being released again. Comparison of both types of individuals will allow to study the impact of genetics and social influence on the development of tool using behaviours when selecting subjects originating from the same area.

Abstract

Tectonic events and climate fluctuations are thought to be responsible for the remarkable diversification of many of Sulawesi’s endemic animals. Intriguing is the almost explosive



diversification of the genus Tarsius following the island’s presumed colonisation in mid-Miocene (Shekelle & Leksono 2004). Their recent, allopatric distribution has very likely been shaped by geological events, e.g., microplale-teclonic movements (Hall 1998). But what happens at the resulting zones of secondary contact? In the case of the parapatric tarsier species T. dentatus and T. lariang, there is evidence of introgressive hybridization (Merker et al. 2009), which begs the question how both groups maintain integrity despite gene flow. These two tarsier species are an ideal model system to identify mechanisms of speciation and drivers of hybridization. With this background, the proposed project has the major aim to evaluate hybridization and potential reinforcement at the secondary contact zone between T. dentatus and T. lariang by means of telemetry, genetics and by acoustical analyses.

Project staff

The project will be conducted by Ms Yvonne Bohr (MSc), a PhD student of Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany and a counterpart scientist/student from the Primate Research Centre of Bogor Agricultural University, Bogor, Indonesia. Ms Bohr is supervised by Dr Stefan Merker, Goethe University Frankfurt. Field and lab expenses will be covered by the German side.

Aims and Questions

We will investigate hybridization, dispersal patterns and mate choice in the hybrid zone between T. lariang and T. dentatus:

• Whoaretheagentsofgeneflow?

• Isthehybridzonemoving?

• Howdospecieswithstandgenetichomogenisationdespitegeneflow?Isthereevidenceof reproductive character displacement in the contact zone? Can we identify operators of reinforcement? How effective are duet songs in mate recognition?

Beyond shedding light on the genetic and behavioural basis of speciation, reinforcement hybridization and introgression in general, we expect results of these projects to be most relevant to our understanding ofthe historical biogeography of the Sulawesi region,patterns and causes of reproductive isolation among tarsiers, andthe role of vocalisation in tarsier mate recognition and preference.



Methods

The study will comprise field work as well as molecular analyses. Methods include mist-netting, radio-tracking, playback of duet songs, and genotyping tarsiers at various loci. DNA will be obtained from small ear biopsies (2x2mm). All tarsier capture and handling will follow well-established procedures (e.g. Driller et al. 2009, Merker et al. 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010). All animals will be captured alive, measured, sampled and released immediately afterwards.

The German PhD student and the PRC-IPB counterpart will capture (and release) 70 tarsiers in the hybrid zone of T. lariang and T. dentatus (i.e., appr. 35 of each species) of which 40 -mostly pre-dispersing subadults - will be radio-tracked over the course of seven months to trace cross-boundary migration. Playback trials will be conducted to test the significance of duet songs for mate recognition, thereby seeking traces of potentially reinforced receiver selectivity in the hybrid zone. Genotyping tarsiers at various autosomal, Y-chromosomal and mitochondrial loci will shed light on the genetics of reproductive isolation. Study site of this project part will be the environs of the village Winatu (Kec. Kulawi, Kap. Sigi, Prov. Sulawesi Tengah, S1°33’4”, E119°57’56”). In order to study dispersal in the hybrid zone, 20 tarsiers of each species will be radio-tracked: 10 subadults (5 males, 5 females) and 10 adults (5 males, 5 females). Tissue samples will be taken from all captured tarsiers including non-collared specimens. We thus expect to sample approximately 30 individuals of each of the two species. The total radio-tracking period will cover ca. 30 weeks. Focal-animal sampling of dispersing tarsiers will be conducted ad hoc to investigate vocal and ranging behaviour during dispersal. We expect to obtain a total of 80-100 bearings per animal. After radio-tracking, collared tarsiers will be re-captured and collars will be retrieved. We will use the RANGES 8 software (Anatrack Ltd.) to analyse and display home ranges and dispersal. Tarsier vocalisations will be documented and characterised alongside capturing and radio-tracking the animals. Sound analyses will be conducted using the programme RAVEN PRO 1.3 (Bioacoustics Research Program, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA). At two distances from the species boundary, a total of 24 tarsier groups will be exposed toconspecific and heterospecific calls to assess the ability of the animals to discern signals of different species as a prerequisite for species-assortative mating.

Molecular genetic work will be performed in two labs. DNA extraction from ear biopsies will be performed in the molecular biology lab at the Indonesian Primate Research Center in Bogor. Subsequently, Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) of all samples will be conducted to amphfy DNA and to prepare it for shipping under CITES regulations. This procedure has proven its value in previous joint research projects always resulting in excellent genotyping data. The original DNA samples will stay at the Primate Center in Bogor, WGA samples win be shipped to Frankfurt, Germany to be analysed. As the high costs of sequencing all samples in Indonesia would by far exceed the financial capacities of this project and as avoiding the pitfalls



of applying the specific genetic markers is dependent on Dr Merker’s supervision, this step is crucial for the success of the project. PCR and sequencing of several markers will generate ca. 1800 sequences.

Abstract

Borneo and other nearby islands are the most threatened in terms of patterns of net change in overall extinction risk for wildlife which influence the economic development of Borneo’s people. Effective solutions are needed for counteracting the threats to species and to lead efficient conservation management for sustainable development and the ecology of large mammals. This require understanding of ecological, socio-cultural, political and economic factors that underlie conservation threats, with synthesis of high quality evidence, appropriately targeted activities and rapid re-evaluation and adaptation. The endangered species of Bornean Orangutan conservation, Pongo pygmaeus, is a good example of this issue and assess its status



is important. Nevertheless, conservation assessments employ costly survey methods that focus on ecological variables and sometimes only a subset of factors, but do not usually address the sociocultural factors that underlie their threats. Arcus Program leads projects for effective sustainable development master plan on Borneo taking both in consideration livelihoods of local people and ecological needs of Bornean orangutans. In this line of project, a cost effective and statistically robust method to quantify main factors, was lead by Meijaard and al. (2011), a complementary survey method based on interviews of nearly 7,000 local people in 687 villages held in 2008 and 2009 across Kalimantan, Indonesia. Here, a validation study is invaluable to avoid potential bias in the conducted interview study and aims to begin in March 2012. Finally predictive models will be made to complete at maintaining viable forest ecosystems for sustainable development of communities and in maximizing orangutan survival chances.

Key words: Bornean orangutans status, sustainable development, conservation management, Interview-based survey.

Abstract

The endangered orangutan remains in small numbers only on the islands of Borneo (Pongo pygmaeus) and Sumatra (Pongo abelii). The orangutan’s unique life history and ecology make populations inherently prone to extinction. Research is needed to understand how habitat limits orangutan density in order to assess habitat carrying capacity, analyze population viability and improve management for the orangutan within conservation areas.

Food availability and canopy structure are widely recognized as key components of orangutan habitat that set limits on population density, and these may vary significantly across the mosaic of disturbed and undisturbed forest types that comprise remaining orangutan habitat. Orangutan movement in response to variable and unpredictable fruiting, especially in Bornean forests, adds to the complexity of assessing habitat components that may best predict orangutan densities.

This research proposes to conduct surveys of food availability, canopy structure and orangutan density on permanent transects that will capture shifting forest phenology and orangutan densities over 24 months. Protocol orangutan survey midlines and transects will be replicated in logged and unlogged peat swamp, mixed dipterocarp and secondary forest in order to compare habitat quality across these types. Hypothesis testing is expected to provide new insights into how food availability and canopy structure limit orangutan density and influence carrying capacity.

This research will be carried out at Tanjung Puting National Park in Kalimantan, which houses a globally significant orangutan population and is representative of orangutan peatland habitat throughout the region. This research will further our understanding of orangutan ecology and the unique tropical peat forest they inhabit and contribute to conservation of the orangutan.

Abstract

Orangutans are solitary living animals therefore social units in this species are not easily recognized. Even though, social structure is not as evident in orangutans that live in neighbourhoods as in group living primates, it exists (van Schaik 2004). Many long-term studies showed extensive geographic variation in behavioral ecology, social organization as well as putative culture of orangutans (Wich et al. 2009). However, geographic variation in orangutan social organization as well as their behavioural ecology can not be fully explained by either genetic or environmental factors and may be better interpreted, in both cases, by local adaptation through developmental plasticity (Krützen et al. 2011). Two components of behavioural plasticity: individual learning and social learning of local innovation (i.e. tool use,foraging techniques or social behaviours) may play a key role in explaining the geographic variation between orangutan populations (Bastian et al. 2010, Bastian et al. 2012, Krützen et al. 2012). The goal of this project is therefore to identify which factors limit the spread of behavioral innovations in Bornean (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) and Sumatran (Pongo abelii) orangutan using combination of socio-behavioural, ranging and genetic data. Data will be collected on wild, habituated and already well studied orangutans in two field sites: Tuanan Research Area within Mawas Conservation Forest in Central Kalimantan and in Suaq Balimbing Research Station within Gunung Leuser Nationa Park in Sumatra.

Abstract

This project aims to study ranging and its flexibilities in Pongo pygmacus morio, the orangutans of E. Kalimantan. New comparisons show morio as the extreme of orangutan adaptation: morio faces the harshest environment and may therefore have distinct morphology, behavior, and life history. Most morio data are 20-25 years old, however. They are not good enough verify these distinctions, they suggest other differences, and they represent conditions that may no longer exist because natural disasters and development have since damaged and fragmented much of morio’s habitat. New studies of morio are then needed, and ranging is a good place to start. Orangutan ranging is determined mainly by two resources, fruit and mating partners, but their biology and ecology make it extremely complex. First, orangutans have enormous food needs because of their extremely large size, but they live in forests known for poor, irregular food productivity. Second, their main foods are patchy in time and space, so their ranging must be flexible. Third orangutans must learn their complex ranging skills but they do so very slowly because they develop extremely slowly. Studying ranging then offers a good view of how orangutans use space and resources, and studying its flexibilities offers insights into how they deal with fluctuations in the availability of key resources, including those caused by habitat change. In addition to enhancing our understanding of orangutan biology, ranging studies may contribute to managing morio-lxuman conflicts by improving understanding of why and how morio change their ranging patterns and where they cannot. Objectives of this project include reassessing morio ranging and its flexibilities by assessing long-term ranging patterns in normal habitat and, as possible, in extreme (damaged) and unfamiliar habitat. Concepts and methods developed for studying primate spatial cognition will be used as well as standard socio-ecological methods. In 2009, aims are to launch the study of morio ranging in ear normal habitat (Kutai National Park), and if possible, in unfamiliar habitat (rehabilitaiit orangutans adjusting to forest life in forest schools or release forests managed by Yayasan BOS, Samboja Lestari).

(R.15) The Javan slow loris: Population density and gastrointestinal health

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji kepadatan populasi Nycticebus javanicusdi Garut dan mengumpulkan basis data parasit gastrointestinal pada populasi loris disana


Lama Penelitian : 4 (empat) bulan mulai 9 Mei 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Barat (Cipaganti, Cisurupan, Garut, Ciamis, Sumedang)

Mitra Kerja : Dr. Abinawanto- FMIPA UI.

Abstract

The Javan slow loris is currently listed on the IUCN redlist as EN but will be updated to CR. However, at this moment the population density of the Javan slow loris population in Garut is unknown. It is known that their habitat in Garut is not ideal. Most of the natural habitat is gone and the lorises live on disturbed habitat. Living on disturbed habitat can affect host-parasite interactions in significant ways. It is associated with an overall greater prevalence of parasite infection. However, there is no data on gastrointestinal parasites of the Javan slow loris. This study aims to (1) assess the population density of the Javan slow loris (Nycticebus javanicus) in Garut, West Java; (2) collect baseline data on gastrointestinal parasites of the Javan slow loris population there; (3) ascertain if there is a significant relationship between the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites and gender, as well as weight and size; and (4) develop health guidelines for rescue centres.

The data collection will be done by walking twelve line transacts, each measuring 1.2 km in length. While walking the line transacts faecal samples will be collected. Sodium nitrate floatation techniques will be used to isolate the gastrointestinal parasites from the faecal sample (Dryden et al 2005).

The outcomes of this study will result in (1) a MSc degree for the student, (2) possible publication in scientific journals, and (3) heath guidelines for gastrointestinal parasite burden of the Javan slow loris will be provided for rescue centres.

(R.16) The only poisonous primate: ecological context& function of slow loris venom

Abstract

The study of the venomous systems of animals has provided fascinating insight into their interactions with predators, prey and competitors (Harvey, et al., 1998). Among the very few mammals known to produce toxins, the slow loris of southeast Asia {Nycticebus spp.) is the only primate that appears to be poisonous. The bites of slow lorises are usually delivered after a threatened animal raises its arms tightly above its head, combining secretions of its brachial gland with saliva (Nekaris et al., 2007). Bites can cause oedema and fester. In extreme cases, bite recipients may enter anaphylactic shock, experiencing a burning tongue and throat, a sensation of heat, red itching skin, very low blood pressure, shock, painful muscle convulsion, pain in the heart and kidney region, respiratory problems, heart problems, unconsciousness and even death (Wilde, 1972; Streicher, 2004; Nekaris and Fry, pers. obs.). A handful of attempts have already been made to characterize loris toxin. The loris toxin has been suggested to be involved with predator avoidance (Altermann, 1995). Also, the protein peptides in the brachial oil have been shown to be homologous with domestic cat Fel-dl peptides, suggesting that the primary use of loris secretions are to communicate with other lorises, with the toxin being a by-product in some species susceptible to allergens (Krane et al. 2003; Hagey et al. 2007). The limited numbers of studies that have been conducted on slow loris toxin are characterized by small sample sizes of captive animals with often unknown taxonomic origin, which call for further work to elucidate the toxins’ actions. Therefore, the aim of the proposed study is



to reveal the ecological context and use of venom in captive lorises, in collaboration with Dr. Thoren, who will also be collecting data on wild counterparts.

My study will be conducted on captive lorises at Ciapus Primate Centre (CPC) in Ciapus near Bogor on Java. Behavioural observations will be recorded to assess venom responses to novel objects. Additionally, I will collect Cortisol samples to investigate any relationship between venom production and stress levels. Concurrently, temperament scoring will beused in the presence of novel objects to assess boldness and shyness; this may provide valuable data for future reintroductions of slow lorises into their natural habitat. CPC houses the Endangered Javan slow loris (N. javanicus) as well as the Vulnerable Bornean slow loris [N. menagensis) and Vulnerable greater slow loris [N. coucang) (Nekaris & Shekelle, 2008). Temperament scoring can have survival implications for lorises reintroduced to the wild, which is a primary objective of CPC.

Results will be distributed to local rescue and education centres and the international primatology and conservation community. The project manager/supervisor Dr. K-Anne Isola Nekaris has already 15 years experience ip studying nocturnal primates which will ensure the quality of the project.

(R.17) Monitoring protein balance, skeletal protein catabolism and stress indicators in wild Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) mothers with dependent offspring in a peat swamp forest

Tujuan Penelitian : Bertujuanuntuk melihat keseimbangan nutrisi pada induk orangutan yang hidup di lingkungan rawa gambut terpencil


Lama Penelitian : 10 (sepuluh) bulan mulai 10 Juli 2012

Abstract

All animals require sufficient energy intake and reserves to maintain essential growth, cell maintenance, homeostasis, immune function, and reproduction. Wild orangutans are unique compared to other great apes due to successfully adapting to live in a marginal environment with extended periods of fruit and, in turn, nutrient scarcity. Current research has shown orangutans, like humans, have evolved extreme hypometabolism [1] in order to adapt to periods of fruit scarcity, and unlike other wild great apes, store excess amounts of energy as fat when nutrients are abundant. Similar to other mammals, orangutans also experience protein catabolism [2] during extended periods of low caloric intake and for those populations living in peat swamps forests, it is expected that they would exhibit protein catabolism more often than other great apes or other populations living in nutrient dense forest regions. We will focus on wild orangutan females with dependent offspring living in a marginal, peat swamp environment, The Tuanan Orangutan Research Project. Maternal orangutans must not only obtain adequate nutrition for themselves, but also sufficient quantities for their dependent offspring. Consequently, we would expect that wild orangutan mothers are even more vulnerable to nutrient deficiencies because they need to supplement their own protein and energy intake, in addition to adequately nourishing or providing for their offspring. These consequences would be exhibited in more frequent occurrences and higher concentrations of stress markers, indicated by the presence of inflammatory cytokines and Cortisol in the urine. The objectives we plan to address in this study are to examine: (1) Are orangutan mothers at Tuanan energetically stressed (negative energy balance) during periods of low fruit availability? (2) During periods of fruit scarcity, how much protein must be consumed in order to maintain neutral nitrogen balance? (3) Are orangutan mothers at Tuanan undergoing loss of body protein and increased skeletal protein breakdown due to low nitrogen intake?(4) How does net protein utilization vary with the availability of preferred ripe fruit? (5) Do the orangutan mothers at Tuanan obtain sufficient protein when fruit is low by supplementing their diets with leaves, flowers, and inner-bark? (6) Do orangutan mothers at Tuanan adjust their activity patterns during periods of low nitrogen and energy intake? (7) Do orangutan mothers at Tuanan experience increased evidence of stress and inflammation, as indicated by increased urinary cytokine and Cortisol excretion?

This current project will add to the small amount of knowledge known about protein deficiency and protein regulation in wild primates. We will conduct full day focal samples, collecting behavioral and ecological data and urine samples. From the urine samples, urea, creatinine and 3-methylhistidine concentration and nitrogen isotope ratios will be measured



to determine protein cycling. Our approach involves the participation and training of local Indonesian scientists, students, and local assistants in the process of empirical measurement. We anticipate publishing our results in international scientific journals and presenting our results at scientific conferences.

Daerah Penelitian : Kalimantan Barat (Situs Penelitian Cabang Panti di TN Gunung Palung)

Mitra Kerja : Prof. Sangkot Marzuki, AM.–LBM Eijkman

Abstract

Existing evidence suggests significant reproductive variation between orangutans inhabiting the islands of Borneo (Pongo pygmaeus) and Sumatra (P. abelii). Counter to expectation, orangutans on Borneo have shorter inter-birth intervals (IBI) than those on Sumatra (7.8 years vs 9.2 years), despite living in less productive forests. To address this, researchers from four field sites on Borneo and Sumatra will collaborate on an intensive study of ecology, energetics, life history, and hormonal physiology in orangutans. In this study, \vc will test between these competing possibilities by collecting urine samples for hormonal analysis across study sites. Our objectives include: (1) Detailed investigation of the role of energy fluctuations



on orangutans through collection of data on activity levels, dietary diversity and ranging patterns (2) Determination of orangutan energetic and social stress levels (3) Cross-population comparisons, focusing on ecological and life history variation across the two orangutan species (4) Detailed investigation of the behavioral ecology of P.p wurmbii (5) Determination of orangutan health status through parasite monitoring of feces and urinary dipstick analysis (6) Determination of orangutan diet using DNA Bar Coding (7) Genetic analysis of fecal samples.

Abstract

Tectonic events and climate fluctuations are thought to be responsible for the remarkable diversification of many of Sulawesi’s endemic animals. Intriguing is the almost explosive diversification of the genus Tarsius following the island’s presumed colonisation in mid-Miocene (Shekelle & Leksono 2004). Their recent, allopatric distribution has very likely been shaped by geological events, e.g., microplate-tectonic movements (Hall 1998). But what happens at the resulting zones of secondary contact? In the case of the parapatric tarsier species T. dentatus and T lariang, there is evidence of introgressive hybridization (Merker et al. 2009), which begs the question how both groups maintain integrity despite gene flow (see the RISTEK-approved current research project of Yvonne Bohr). In contrast to this re-encounter of two tarsier species, there exists a remarkable geographical separation of two populations of the recently described T. wallacei (Merker et al. 2010) in Central Sulawesi, which has yet to be examined for its evolutionary causes and effects and which provides an excellent framework to study incipient speciation. The proposed project has been designed to shed light on the conservation status and on causes and effects of the geographic separation of T. wallacei.



Aims and Questions

Parti I: will focus on the timing and possible causes for the geographical separation of the two populations of T. wallacei. Within this scope, dating of splitting events will be interpreted against the background of geological and paleoclimatic data to reconstruct mechanisms of speciation and the colonisation history of Sulawesi by our distant relatives. This part will mainly be conducted by Alexander Suchar but both researchers will be involved in field work.

Part II: will determine basic parameters of the southern T. wallacei population (population density and size, genetic variability, hybridization with neighbouring species) to establish a base of fundamental data and to assess the population’s extinction risk. Results will most probably be incorporated into the IUCN threat assessment for Wallace’s tarsier. This part will be led by Azhari Purbatrapsila but both researchers will be involved in field work.

We expect results of this project to be most relevant to our understanding of

• thehistoricalbiogeographyoftheSulawesiregion,

• mechanismsofspeciationinprimates,and

• theconservationstatusofthenewlydiscoveredTarsiuswallacei.

Abstract

The tropical forests of the Indonesian archipelago rank second among the top 25 biodiversity hotspots of the world, after Brazil (Myers et a/. 2000). With a growing population of over 200 million, the demands for food, timber, energy and other resources are in competition with the extant flora and fauna, threatening many species with extinction and destroying the forests at a faster rate than observed in any other country worldwide (Ross & Wall, 1999). According to Wilson et a/. (2006), the island of Sulawesi should be prioritised for conservation efforts due to its high species endemism, cost-effectiveness, and likely success of conservation initiatives. The threats endangering Sulawesi’s biodiversity are ubiquitous with other fragile habitats and include hunting, forest degradation and wildlife trade activities (Whitten et al. 2001, Lee etal, 2005). Poor management of protested areas, lack of local community conservation awareness and law enforcement currently hinder efforts to mitigate these threats (Lee et a\. 2005).

In North Sulawesi, bushmeat hunting for consumption and commercial trade is a primary concern; where unlike the majority of Indonesia, the predominantly Christian population is not constrained by religious prohibition of wildlife consumption (O’Brien & Kinnaird, 2000, Milner-Gulland & Clayton 2002, Lee et al. 2005,). In Tangkoko Nature Reserve in Minahasa, bushmeat hunting and consumption, for example, has extirpated endemic species such as the anoa (Bubalus depressicoumis), babirusa [Babyrousa babyrussa) and the flying foxes (Lee 2000; Clayton & Milner-Gulland 2000). Remaining species such as bear cuscus [Ailurops ursinus) are vulnerable, and it has also led to a huge reduction in Macaca nigra (Sulawesi crested black macaque) population, which is one of seven macaque species endemic to Sulawesi.

The home range of Macaca nigra is exclusive to Minahasa province, the far northern tip of north Sulawesi, and since the 1980’s its population has declined by 85%. Previous census information estimated there were 300 animals/km2 in 1980, which declined to less than 26 animals/km2 by 1998 (MacKinnon & MacKinnon, 1980; Sugardjito et al., 1989). Today, it is thought that there are less than 3 animals/ km2, although no large scale census has been performed in the last lOyrs (Melfi et al. 2007 in press).



Scientific Justification for Research

In 2008 the IUCN red data list changed the status of the M. nigra from ‘Endangered’ to ‘Critically Endangered’ due to previous research that indicated that there had been an 85% population decline in the last 30 years(MacKinnon and MacKinnon 1980; Sugardjito ef at. 1989; Rosenbaum ef a/. 1998; Melfi ef al. 2007, 2010). It is likely that M. nigra populations have continued to decline since the last published surveys, even within protected forest areas, and that the anthropogenic pressures within A/1, nigra habitat tcontinues, and is threatening this species with imminent extinction.

Conservation of M. nigra can only be effective and move forward with an accurate evaluation of the current threats facing the population today. Previous research has identified that the main threats to the survival of M. nigra are hunting, trade and the degradation of prime forest habitat across Minahasa, the M. nigra home range (Lee & Kussoy 1999, Clayton & Milner-Gulland 2000, Lee 2000, Lee ef a/. 2005, Rocky et al. 2007). Surveys of communities close to M. nigra habitat therefore provide a useful insight into human activity and the threats to the species and its remaining habitat. Additionally, the monitoring of bushmeat being traded in local markets can be a useful measure of levels of hunting activity, local demand and consumption of wild animals, and can give an indication of the remaining populations of species through accessibility of supply (Lee et al. 2000). Understanding the levels of bushmeat consumption, wildlife trade and forest resource exploitation/disturbance activities still performed today, is therefore vital, so that conservation initiatives can start to identify effective conservation actions and target the right communities that are causing the greatest threat to the remaining population of M. nigra.

Abstract

Aims of the project The aim of the project is to answer these unresolved questions about the long-distance communication system in both a Sumatran (Suaq Balimbing) and a Bornean (Tuanan) orangutan population. We will do this by systematically comparing populations at the two islands.

Spontaneous long calls

The main function of spontaneously given long calls in Sumatra is female attraction: female coordination and mate attraction. The female coordination function enables females to gain protection from sexual coercion just by seeking the locally dominant male’s proximity.

Elicited long calls

Elicited long calls’ function can be seen as repulsion of subordinate males by the locally dominant male. Therefore they primarily seem to be a sign of dominance. Non-dominant males run the risk of provoking elicited calls, and thus attacks, by the dominant male in the area because of their presence or because of their long calls in the vicinity of the locally dominant male. Therefore, responses of the eavesdropping dominant male are a costly byproduct for non-dominant males. The strategy to minimize it is: (i) to avoid the dominant male in the area (approach-avoidance system), and (ii) to give long calls only when the dominant male is not in the area. Elicited long calls should occur only when male-male dominance is contested or unclear in Sumatra, although in practice it will also occur because the avoidance system is imperfect.

Long call function in Borneo.

Spontaneous long calls

The function of spontaneously given long calls in Borneo is exclusively mate attraction, because the femalecoordination function is absent.

Elicited long calls

The function of elicited long calls is repulsion of rival males. In Borneo, sequences of long calls betweenflanged males can be observed. This is best explained with “calling battles,” where calling males canapproach each other and escalations in fights are possible.



Predictions: Elicited long calls:

• Wepredict that thepercentageofelicited longcalls ismuchhigher inBorneo than inSumatra.

Eavesdropping males

We predict that the presence of males in the area is negatively correlated with the presence of more dominant males in Sumatra, but not in Borneo. Thus, we expect that subordinate males are eavesdropping on the calls of the dominant in order to be able to move into areas not currently occupied by him.

In Borneo, we predict that long call rate of an individual does not depend on the presence of other males, because fighting ability relative to other males varies greatly over time (and thus previous encounters need not be informative).

Eavesdropping females

Elicited calls do not announce travel direction of the calling male and is therefore useless for Sumatran females with regard to travel coordination. But Sumatran females can eavesdrop on elicited long calls and use the information on the dominance relations among males.

• WepredictthatSumatranfemalesapproachelicitedlongcallstogathertheinformationaboutdominance relations, but not to coordinate their travel with the male(s).

Bomean flanged males are also known to force matings. Exceptions are matings between sexually active females and the current dominant male. These non-resisted matings by females are an indication for female choice.

• Wepredict thatBomeansexuallyactive femalesuse informationofcalling interactionsbetweenflanged males to choose the “currently” dominant male as potential sires.

Additional prediction

Unflanged males are known to force matings. In such involuntary associations, the counter-strategy of females is to approach long calling males in order shake off unwanted unflanged males. We predict that Sumatran females use this strategy because flanged males are dominant over unflanged males and simple proximity leads to the solution that unflanged males break off the association. Although flanged males in Borneo also force matings, we still expect the same pattern there because they are much less likely to do so than unflanged males.

• Determinethreatsposedtothecurrentpopulationswithintheirnativerange,includingtheimpact of tourism (surveying villagers and tourists);: Tangkoko Rejuvenation Programme, Bacan island Reconnaissance Trip, Minahasa Awareness Campaign, Junior High School Environmental Education Programme.



Rationale for study

Sulawesi crested black macaques are Critically Endangered (Supriatna & Andayani 2008). Previous studies have identified that threats to their survival are principally habitat loss and hunting pressure, which continue unabated (Melfi, 2010). This projects aims to take a multi-disciplinary approach to the collection of information which could be used to inform a conservation strategy whose aim is to ‘protect a self-sustaining wild population of M. nigra in their native habitat.

It is imperative that reliable data be collected from which population estimates of M. nigra can be extrapolated, for the Minahasan mainland this requires some areas to be identified (after more causal surveys of locations and of local people) and also on the island of Bacan. This latter population urgently require attention as population estimates are based on data collected over 10 years ago (Rosenbaum et al. 1998).

As part of this study, data collected in previous studies (also supervised by V Melfi and J Tasirin) will be disseminated to villages throughout Minahasa; where the data were previously collected. This will enable the current researcher to expand on research undertaken in Batu Putih, exploring activities, attitudes and empathy of local people towards M. nigra, other natural resources and the environment more generally. These types of data are especially important when considering mitigation strategies to reduce threats to the survival of this species, including designing appropriate educational materials and also considering alternative sustainable livelihood initiatives.

The implementation of this study will be largely determined according to conditions and opportunities presented to the current student when they arrive in Sulawesi.

Mitra Kerja : Drs. Imran S.K. Tobing, M.Si - Fakultas Biologi Universitas Nasional dan Darmayanti - Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kehutanan, Aceh

Abstract

Long-distance vocal communication in widely dispersed, semi-solitary species often mediates individuals’ ranging behavior and social relationships. Long calls are the most conspicuous longdistance vocalization in orangutans. They are emitted only by flanged males. Long calls are audible up to 1 -1.5 kilometer for human observers on the ground and are therefore key regulators of encounters between dispersed individuals in a dense rainforest where visibility is limited. Two functions of long calls are generally considered: repulsion of male rivals and mate attraction. Nevertheless, long call function is poorly understood, given that recent work in our group has shown that: (i) there is a third likely function, travel coordination with non-receptive females; (ii) long calls can be divided into acoustically distinct types; and (iii) social systems, and in particular male-male competition and male-female relationships, differ between Sumatran and Bornean orangutans. In this project, we intend to examine all three possible functions of long calls and their information content on both islands, in order to elucidate the flexibility of vocal signaling in a geographically variable social system.

We will follow focal males to record their ranging, social and vocal behavior, but also establish a network of 20 autonomous digital field recorders throughout the area to get a complete overview of long call dynamics for 24 hours during an 8-month period, in both study sites. The combination of traditional follows and novel auditory monitoring will create an accurate picture of flanged males’ presence in the area, and thus allow us to reconstruct a model of the communication network over time and space and the ranging responses of individual males and females to the long calls of other flanged males. In addition, playback experiments will answer questions about females’ and males’ reactions to long calls in a controlled way and thus to elucidating long call function.

Abstract

Bornean orangutans and Mueller’s gibbons are flagship species for conservation and currently classified as threatened. The two species live sympatrically in Borneo, where their numbers are dwindling due to anthropogenic threats. To develop and maintain conservation initiatives for these species, an accurate knowledge of population sizes, distributions and densities is crucial, as these measures, combined with the region’s ecology and disturbance factors can be used to assess which habitats are most valuable and the impacts of disturbance. Current methods of estimating densities and distributions of both species are inefficient and prone to error; therefore, I propose a novel method of estimating densities and habitat use by these two species.

This method is the localization of calling individuals by using the relative arrival times of calls to different microphones set up in an acoustic array. Both species produce long distance vocalizations; singing by both male and female gibbons, and long calls from male orangutans.



The array will be tested, at Kutai National Park, by comparing observer collected GPS-points with estimated locations of calls produced firstly from recordings and then wild gibbons and orangutans. Ecological and disturbance variables will be calculated across all microhabitats and combined with the localization data to test the following hypotheses about the two species habitat use and densities, providing a tentative indication of their ecological preferences and the impacts of disturbance:

• H1:Areasofhighfruitingwillsupporthigherdensitiesofandbeusedmorebyorangutans/gibbons, due to greater food availability.

• H2:Alluvialhabitatswillsupportahigherdensityandbeusedmorethenriverineforestand then dry forest types, due to their greater homogeneity in food availability.

(R.28) Testing the Cultural Intelligence Hypothesis in Wild Orangutans

Tujuan Penelitian:Membandingkan kebiasaan bermain dan eksplorasi bayi orangutan di dua populasi orangutan




Mitra Kerja : Fakultas Biologi UNIVERSITAS NASIONAL – (Fitri Basalamah, M.Si., Moh. Hamdani)

Abstract

The concept of general intelligence was developed for humans, but recent work demonstrating its existence in nonhuman primates suggests evolutionary continuity. The adaptive significance of general intelligence must lie in the set of learned skills it generates for its bearer, rather than in an abstract ability per se. The cultural intelligence hypothesis claims that the conditions for social learning during development affect how intelligent an individual can become, by affecting how many learned skills an individual can acquire. It also claims that on evolutionary timescales, these conditions affect selection of the underlying learning ability. Here, we plan to test the developmental version, especially the predictions (i) that animals in populations with more opportunities for social learning, and thus a greater repertoire of learned skills, should show greater intelligence (problem-solving ability) when tested, and (ii) that the increased learning ability is likely to make the animals more exploratory and less novelty-averse. We intend to test these predictions by comparing wild orangutans on Borneo (Tuanan research station, Kalimantan Tengah) and Sumatra (Suaq Balimbing research station, Aceh Selatan), which are known to differ widely in sociability and therefore opportunities for social learning and repertoires of cultural variants. As a control, in the course of other simultaneous projects the same two taxa will be tested in captivity, where the social conditions are much more similar and constant proximity with conspecifics and humans should produce better opportunities for social learning. My project will focus on the wild animals whereas in a parallel project (carried out by two other Students from the University of Zurich) captive animals will be tested. We expect to find (i) a pronounced difference in general intelligence in the wild and no or a much smaller one in captivity, thus linking early conditions to the cognitive skill set of adults; and (ii) a pronounced difference between the captive and the wild populations, with captive ones having better current learning abilities. Importantly, we will simultaneously identify the responsible processes as much as possible. If the results emerge as predicted, this will bolster the idea that intelligence, innovation and culture (as socially transmitted information) are causally linked, and



thus support the cultural intelligence hypothesis, the evolutionary version of which states that systematic differences in the efficiency of learning across populations or species should lead to variable thresholds of selection on the innate learning ability due to the feedback on fitness through the set of learned skills. Preliminary comparative tests so far provide first support for this hypothesis.

Abstract

The concept of general intelligence has believed to be uniquely human but recent studies demonstrating its existence in non human primates suggest that there is an evolutionary continuity. It seems that the adaptive significance of general intelligence lies in the set of learned skills rather than in an abstract ability per se. Using this approach Cultural intelligence hypothesis (CHI) postulates that the conditions for social learning during development affect how many learned skills an individual can acquire and therefore how intelligent an individual



can became. Therefore it can be expected that individuals growing up in an environment with many opportunities for social learning would be develop higher cognitive capacities compared to individuals exposed to a less sophisticated environment. In this study we test the cultural intelligence hypothesis focusing on the predictions (i) social conditions creating many opportunities for social learning produce adults with a larger set of learned skills, (ii) animals in those conditions show greater intelligence (problem-solving ability) when tested, and (iii) the accumulating expertise should make animals more exploratory and be less neophobic. To test these prediction wild orangutans on Borneo and Sumatra are compared because they are known to differ widely in their sociality and therefore also in opportunities for social learning. As a control situation the same two taxa are studied in rehabilitation/rescue centers where the social conditions are very similar to the wild where as the opportunities for social learning are much better due to close proximity to conspecifics and humans. This part of the project is only concentrating on the sanctuary work. Observations about exploratory tendencies, opportunities for social learning and orientation toward humans are compared to tests results based on cognitive and physical abilities to gain an insight into the effect of enculturation. Due to the similar opportunities for social learning given by sanctuary housing we expect to find no or only a small difference in cognitive performance between the two taxa. As this study compares the data with wild living orangutans the results are not only important for the research but will also provide practical and important information to improve the release and reintroduction of sanctuary orangutans into the wild.

(R.30) A comparative study on object play behavior in two populationsof wild orangutans

Tujuan Penelitian : Membandingkan kebiasaan bermain dan eksplorasi bayi orangutan di dua populasi orangutan


Lama Penelitian : 9 (sembilan) bulan mulai 28 Mei 2012


Mitra Kerja : Fakultas Biologi UNIVERSITAS NASIONAL - Fitri Basalamah, M.Si., Moh. Hamdani

Abstract

Object play is commonly seen as form of independent exploration by which the infant explores and learns about the targeted object. So far very little research has been done on object play behavior of wild orangutans. It is unclear, how ecological factor and social factors influence object play behavior in immature orangutans. The aim of this project is to compare infant play and exploration behavior of 2 Orangutan populations: Tuanan, Kalimantan Tengah and Suaq Balimbing, Aceh Selatan. A comparison of the two study sites will show how the differences in ecology and sociality between the two populations influence the nature and frequency of infant play behavior. This project will be part of a bigger project: “testing the cultural intelligence hypothesis in orangutans” carried out by Caroline Schuppli, Laura Damerius and Zaida Kosonen.

(R.31) Habitat quality and probability of poliandry in Suinatran siamangs (Symphalangus syndactyly): a test of the ecological constraints model

Tujuan Penelitian : Menguji hipotesis bahwa kualitas habitat dapat mempengaruhi strategi perkembangbiakan pada siamang jantan di Way Cunguk


Lama Penelitian : 3 (tiga) bulan mulai 4 Juni 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Lampung (Stasiun Riset Way Canguk, TN Bukit Barisan Selatan, Tanggamus)

Mitra Kerja : Departemen Biologi, FMIPA UI - Dr. Noviar Andayani

Abstract

Gibbons (ilylobatidae) usually live in one-male one-female groups, but multi-male uni-female groups (polyandry) have been observed in a number of populations, and stable polyandrous groups represent a substantial fraction of siamang {Symphalangia syndactylus) groups in the Way Canguk Research Area. Facultative polyandry is often associated with cooperative breeding, but a previous study suggests that infants in polyandrous siamang groups receive less male parental care than those in monogamous groups. We propose to test the hypothesis that habitat quality may constrain male strategies at Way Canguk through its effects on home range size. Where habitat quality is high, a relatively small territory may contain adequate resources for a female and her offspring, whereas lower habitat quality may require a female to range over a larger area. If large home ranges are difficult for a single male to economically defend, then polyandry may be the optimal strategy in areas of relatively low habitat quality. Conversely, in areas of high habitat quality, a single male may be able to defend access to adequate resources to support a female and her offspring, resulting in monogamy. We plan to test this hypothesis by collecting detailed habitat quality data from the home ranges of 11 siamang groups that have been the subjects of previous behavioral studies. We will use these data combined wilh existing ranging and group composition data to test following hypotheses: 1) The density of important plant foods is negatively related to home range size. 2) Home range size is positively related to the average number of males in a group. The results will shed light on the relationship between ecology and mating systems in this endangered species

(R.32) Emotion expression in non-human primate vocalisations

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari komunikasi vokal orangutan dalam situasi tertentu


Lama Penelitian : 2(dua) bulan mulai 11 Juni 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Kalimantan Tengah (Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine di Pasir Panjang)

Mitra Kerja : Pusat Kajian Bahasa dan Budaya, Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya - Yanti, PhD.

Abstract

Great apes use, just like human beings, three modalities to convey emotional information: facial expressions, gestures and vocalisations. In research, the level of knowledgeas well as the attention drawn to these three modalitiesshow significant inequalities. The presented PhD project approaches the field of vocal communication of orangutans in emotionally arousing situations. Individuals transmit information like emotionsthrough different acoustic patterns that are perceived by the receiver who consequently behaves in a certain way appropriate to the situation(e.g. Bachorowski & Owren, 2008). In contrast to the other two communicational channels, vocalisations provide the opportunity to communicate over great distances and without direct intervisibility. They are, thus, especially in complex environmentsof evolutionary adaptive value.

In literature, vocal communication of the four great ape species, with some exceptions inchimpanzees, is barely investigated. Until 20 years ago, literature stated that non-humanprimate vocalisations are inflexible andhardly controllable reflexes expressed involuntarily inemotional situations(Corballis. 2009. Pollick & deW’aal. 2007, Goodall 1986).

Recent studies show significant evidence challenging the traditional view of vocalisations. Itcould for example be demonstrated that complex cognitive processes are involved invocalisation behaviour and that vocalisations are expressed intentionally and



underconsideration of environmental parameters confuting the hypothesis of being hard-wired orreflex-like (z.B. Green, 1975; Kluender, 1994; Seyfarth & Cheney, 1997; Slocombe &Zuberbiihler, 2007, 2005).

Objects of research are acoustic utterances of orangutans. Orangutans are native to the Indonesian rain forests. Acoustic communication plays particularly in the thick sylvan environment an essential role. But still, so far only little is known about the orangutan vocalisation behaviour, especially in emotional contexts. The major aim of this project is, thus, to get a deeper insight in the vocal communication behaviour of orangutans in emotionally arousing situations.

Orangutans (Pongo spec.Jwere the first great ape species that separated from the evolutionary line of humans. Whether orangutans already vocalise intentionally and controllably is not known yet. But if this was the case, it would be quite probable that already the common ancestor of all great apes and humans exhibited that trait and, thus, expressed themselves via vocalisations in a flexible way.

Hardus and colleagues published a revisedlist of the orangutan call repertoire (2009). In this list, 32 call types are described that are equally spread among individuals of the different sexes and ages. Among the 32 call types, only the ‘Kiss Sqeak’ (Peters, 2001) and the ‘Long Call’ (Galdicas, 1983; Mitani, 1985; Delgado, 2003, 2007) have been investigated in a more detailed way. The precise functions of the other 30 vocalisations remain unclear and require a closer look regarding their function and use. The functional characteristics I would like to focus on are referentiality, flexibility and intentionality.

Abstract

This research project aims to assess the impact of the human-primate commensalism on the behavioural ecology and the long term viability of some primate populations in Bali. To achieve this objective, we use the long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) as species model. M. fascicularis is a primate species widespread throughout Southeast Asia [1,2] and exploiting a wide diversity of habitats characterized by various degrees of proximity with human, from primary forests to urban environments [3,4,5]. We use an interpopulational comparative approach by comparing 4 populations of Macaca fascicularischaracterized by various anthropic levels on the Island of Bali. Through this approach, we control multiple anthropic and environmental factors for a more complete understanding of the commensalism impact. The anthropic and ecological factors are (= independent variables): 1) the habitat and microhabitat type, 2) the frequency and the quantity of human food provisioning, 3) the human presence degree and 4) the habitat quality (diversity of vegetal species naturally present in the macaques’ habitat). We analyze the impacts of these factors on the behavioural ecology, and more specifically on the activity and ranging patterns, the feeding ecology, the demography and the population dynamics. The commensalism impact on these eco-behavioural parameters is investigated at two levels: between populations and within populations (between groups within a population and between daily periods for a same group). We chose to investigate this research question in Bali (Indonesia) because this island is a particularly appropriate site for a comparative study, given the diversity of its ecosystems and landscapes, the extent of the commensalism, and the high density of long-tailed macaques (8-10,000), notably around temples [6]. This research is conducted in collaboration with the Pusat Penelitian Satwa Primata (Dr. I. Nengah Wandia and his team) from Universitas Udayana (Bali) that investigates veterinary and behavioural issues in Macaca fascicularis of Bali.



Our research questions are the following:

• Whatare thediversityand theflexibilityof theeco-behaviouralprofile showedby thelong-tailed macaque when it is submitted to various anthropic levels?

• Whataretheeco-behaviouralparametersthemostsignificantlyimpactedbytheanthropicfactors and what are the implications for the long-term conservation?

• Isthereariskoflocalextensionforthemostandthelesscommensalpopulations?Whatare the future trends of these populations?

• What are the most appropriate management strategies for promoting long termcoexistence between humans and macaques at zone of interface?

• Whatwouldbe the impacts and the long-term risks of the anthropic factors onotherprimate species with a lower eco-behavioural flexibility?

Abstract

I plan to examine the interactions between humans and proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, in order to assess effective conservation strategies. Conservation management strategies often vary in their level of interaction with local people; therefore, influencing both the acceptance of the project with the local people and the amount of wildlife protection that actually ensues. I will focus on four different conservation strategies: national parks, integrated conservation and development projects (represented as an ceo tourism project), Reduced Emissions through Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) strategies, and no conservation strategies. Using four sites in West Kalimantan, I will assess how different conservation strategies influence the local perception on a primate species, how local views of conservation strategies influence human actions, and what effect these actions have on proboscis / monkey behavior. I will address my hypotheses by sampling the human populations in four communities, collecting census data on the proboscis monkeys, and collecting ecological data. The project will take place from October 15 ,2010 to October 15* 2011. This project hopes to enliance the knowledge of the conservation of the proboscis monkeys, and enliance the conservation of many endangered species and areas in Indonesia.

Abstrak

Ranging and dispersal are integral to a species’ social and mating systems, and their study is important for understanding the costs, benefits and evolution of these systems, but our knowledge of these behaviours in male orang-utans is poor, owing to their very large home ranges. Working in the Sabangau peat-swamp forest, I am collecting data on ranging and dispersal of male orang-utans in a large, unfragmented habitat. Working from seven different sub-sites, I search for and follow orang-utans throughout a 10,000 ha area of unbroken forest, which is about times larger than in any previous orang-utan study, mapping individual ranging data using GIS. I also plan to collect genetic samples to assess relatedness between males and females throughout the area, therefore anabling assessment of male dispersal from natal ranges. The huge size of this study area, plus the incorporation of genotyping technology, will enable me to address a number of question relating to male dispersal and ranging (over short, medium and long distances), crucial for understanding the machanics of the orang-utan mating system.

This tentative final report falls at the end of the first year of my two-year fieldwork period in which to collect the data necessary to answer my research questions. Thus far I have overcome the logistical challenges of following known orang-utans through the peat-swamp forest at a significant distance from the research camp, and have succeeded in finding and identifying unhabituated orang-utans at remote sites. The progress of my team so far leaves me confident that we will acquire an adequate data set to answer the research questions of this project, at the end of the second year of field-work in 2012..

Abstract

All animals are regularly exposed to a variety of stressors. Whereas short term stress responses are generally beneficial, long term stress is pathological and can lead to impaired reproduction and reduced survival. This study will investigate the causes and consequences of these stressors in order to gain a better understanding of the natural behaviour and the impact of human presence on crested macaques. Factors leading to stress can generally be divided into social and environmental factors. Social factors such as dominance rank, reproductive status and migration will be investigated separately for males and females whereas environmental factors affecting glucocorticoid levels such as droughts, rainfall or food availability will be investigated at the group level. Additionally, anthropogenic factors will be included to determine their influence on stress levels in this highly endangered species. We will collect data on three groups of crested macaques (Macaca nigra) in northern Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data collection will include behavioural, genetic and endocrinological data of males and females of the target group. All data will be collected non-invasively. After completion of the field work, all samples will be brought to the IPB in Bogor where the samples for hormone analysis will be lyophilised. Further analyses of the genetic and hormone samples will take place at the IPB and the German Primate Centre in Gottingen. This project is covered by a Memorandum of Understanding between the IPB, BKSDA, PHKA and the German Primate Centre and is a combination of two PhD projects from a student at the DPZ investigating the male part (P.Marty) and an Indonesian counterpart from the IPB (G. Assahad) working on females. The results will lead to a better understanding of the natural and anthropogenic factors leading to stress in crested macaques, and may contribute to improved population management for this highly endangered species.

Abstract

The health of individuals and the health of ecosystems are inextricably linked. Thus understanding the factors affecting the health and survival of individuals is an important component of determining the underlying health and resilience of the environment The health of both individuals and ecosystems are dependent on homeostasis: the balancing, through continuous interaction and feedback, of the myriad dynamic processes that comprise the integrated system. Various internal and external stressors can have profound adverse effects on system health and the ability to militate against these is dependent on our understanding not just of the nature of these stressors but also on how they interact with the systems as a whole.

One key component in the health of individuals, species and ecosystems are the parasites. On an individual level parasites can exert an enormous stress on health and viability, draining away valuable energy gained from hard-earned foodstuffs and adversely affecting many vital systems from immunity to other infections to reproductive success. This is of particular importance with orangutans which are already at the upper range of viability with respect to



the size-energy continuum able to be supported by their tropical rainforest habitat This makes orangutans an important indicator species as they are very quick to feel the effects of ecosystem disruption that would take longer to become apparent in less susceptible species.

The debilitating effects of parasites are exacerbated in populations under stress and those with small population size and low genetic diversity. Whilst orangutans do suffer from small, and rapidly declining, population sizes, their genetic diversity is only beginning to be studied. Recent work has uncovered some of the extent of genetic diversity in the two orangutan species but much more work needs to be done in order to understand the full range and unravel population structures and geographic variation in order to inform conservation efforts.

The importance of host-parasite interactions in shaping ecosystems and individual species is shown by the profound effect on the evolution of both hosts and parasites. The evolutionary “arms race” between parasites and their hosts is an important driver in the evolution of both and understanding their recent evolution will deepen our understanding of population structure and potential future responses as well as extinction risk.

On the ecosystem level parasites are important and ubiquitous players. Studying parasite dynamics, species composition and richness gives a great deal of information not only about the state and health of an ecosystem but of its trajectory. Thus gathering long term data on parasites in numerous sites allows both longitudinal and horizontal comparisons, meaning we can determine the status of ecosystems both spatially and temporally and so detect improvements or threats in particular regions of the whole ecosystem as well as systemic threats to the whole. The long term data gathered will also be of great use in determining the effects of long-term ecosystem changes such as climate change to orangutans and their environment

MAIN AIMS.

This project will address all these aspects using a multi-pronged strategy focused on the interaction between orangutans, parasites and their environment. In particular we plan toexamine the dynamics of host-parasite interactions as an indicator of both orangutan and ecosystem health. In order to do this we will examine a range of factors:

• Parasite prevalence, species richness and intensity in individual orangutans and otherprimates from both wild and semi-wild populations in a number of sites throughout their range.

• Theresponsesoforangutansandotherprimatestoparasiteinfection,whichincludestheirself-medication strategies, i.e. do they use particular plants with medicinal properties to “treat” parasitic infections.



From this can we discover potential new medicinal compounds by leveraging our knowledge of orangutan usage of particular plants?

• Orangutanpopulationstructureandrecentevolutionasaguidetoconservationstrategiesand a predictor for the response of populations to external and internal stressors.

Abstract

This project aims to understand the ecology of Bornean orangutans living in a multi-functional landscape in East Kalimantan that consists primarily of acacia plantations buffer areas that border a protected area (Kutai National Park). Understanding the ecology of this population of orangutans (e.g., how these orangutans are using different habitats within this area, the composition of their diet, their activity patterns) is essential to planning for their conservation.

The specific goals of this study are:

A. Assessment of orangutan population size, density, and habitat use in mixed-use landscape

a) Assessment of current orangutan population size, composition, and dynamics in themixed-use landscape, which includes Surya Hutani Java and Sumalindo Hutani Jayaplantations, as well as a buffer zone and adjacent area of Kutai National Park

b) Frequency of use of different habitats within this mixed-use landscape (planted andunplanted areas of the plantation, conservation area, corridors, buffer zone,adjacent area of Kutai National Park) by orangutans

B. Assessment of habitat quality and resource availability in mixed-use landscape. Habitat quality, resource availability and seasonal changes in resource availability for orangutans in each habitat type (planted and unplanted areas of the plantation, conservation area, corridors, buffer zone, adjacent area of Kutai National Park) and throughout the mixed-use landscape.

C.. Assessment of orangutan behavioral ecology in mixed-use landscape

a) Basic diet of orangutans living in this mixed-use landscape: assessment of how muchorangutans rely on plantations for food (how much of diet is cultivated



resources,such as acacia, and how much is wild resources) and what variables appear to affecttheir reliance of cultivated vs. wild food sources

b) Assessment of extent of crop-raiding by orangutans: frequency, determinants, andquantification of damage to company

c) Basic activity budget (time spent resting, moving, feeding, etc.) and behavior oforangutans living in the plantation and the larger landscape (including nestingbehavior), as possible based on the ability to locate, habituate, and followorangutans.

My ongoing work, conducted in collaboration with Universitas Tanjungpura (UNTAN), has documented substantial variation in population density, group size, inferred reproductive success, and offspring sex ratios in populations of white-bearded gibbons (Hylobates



albibarbis) and red leaf monkeys (Presbytis rubicunda rubida) living across seven distinct forest types at the Cabang Panti Research Station (CPRS) in Gunung Palung National Park (GPNP). These results have uncovered intriguing patterns in density and demography of gibbon and leaf monkey populations living across a gradient of diverse habitats. Current data suggest that these patterns are controlled by spatial and temporal variation in patterns of plant productivity among the seven forest types at CPRS. In order to investigate the effects of plant productivity on primate populations I began a long-term project at CPRS in 2007. As patterns of fruit availability vary over long time scales in Bornean rainforests due to the phenomenon of mast fruiting, long term data are required to uncover the true ecological mechanisms underlying variation in primate population parameters. The key objective of the proposed research is continue collection of data that will be used to test hypotheses designed to improve our understanding of how landscape-level variation in habitat quality and seasonality of fruit production impact the population ecology of white-bearded gibbons and red leaf monkeys. The goal is to obtain a deeper understanding of the underlying ecological principles limiting primate population dynamics, and understand inter-specific variation in response to landscape-scale and seasonal variation in plant productivity.

I am requesting permission to conduct fieldwork in Gunung Palung National Park (GPNP), West Kalimantan. In addition to the substantial investment that I have already made in identifying and monitoring primate groups and conducting intensive training with local field assistants at this site, the diversity of tropical forest types and existence of long-term data on forest ecology, tree phenology, and populations of potential vertebrate frugivore competitors makes GPNP uniquely suited to addressing broad ecological questions such us those that I propose to address.

I remain firmly committed to the training of Indonesian students and collaboration with Indonesian scientists. If RISTEK is kind enough to approve my research proposal, the project will provide opportunities for collaboration with Indonesian scientists and training of Indonesian students interested in botany, tropical forest ecology, and population dynamics.

Abstract

The OuTrop-CIMTROP collaborative long-term multi-disciplinary research project aims to provide data to support and enhance locally-led conservation efforts in High Conservation Value Forests in Kalimantan, Indonesia. This will be achieved through studies designed to (i) improve our knowledge of the natural ecology of these forests and resident species’ behaviour; and (ii) elucidate the impacts of human activities on this, including both anthropogenic threats to the ecosystem and forest management activities. These studies will build upon data collected in Kalimantan by OuTrop and CIMTROP team members over the last ten years, enabling us to maintain and extend our existing data sets, and collect new data sets, to continue our analyses of ecosystem change in these important forests and provide information to support conservation policy decisions.

To achieve this, our three-year research programme will incorporate studies on floral and faunal biodiversity and ecological interactions, including trees, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates; forest structure and dynamics; flagship conservation species, including orang-utans, gibbons, red langurs and use of camera traps to survey cats;



communities; ecosystem services; threats to the forest and conservation measures to counter these threats; and trials of the effectiveness of forest regeneration and reforestation techniques. As part of this programme, my research has been focussed on Theme 4.2 of the OuTrop-CIMTROP RISTEK proposal: Forest Regeneration and Restoration.

The overall objective for our research in this area is to identifyspecies that would be suitable for large-scale reforestation projects. These species should be able to grow quickly to form a closed canopy, thus creating shade to make the habitat more hospitable to other tree species, and attracting seed-dispersing fauna to the area. This will help to speed up the rate of natural (unassisted) regeneration and, in the long-term, help to re-establisha forest that resembles its original state.

We aim to identify species that are naturally suited to grow under harsh conditions: direct sun light (“sun-lovers” or light-tolerants), high water levels, been underwater for a long period of the time each year (flood-tolerant), and the combination of both, living and growing in a flooded forest edge for more than 6 months per year with direct sun light that increases the water temperature.

Main objectives are:

• To identify peat-swamp tree species that can successfully survive and grow in thedeforested area. We aim to identifying tree and shrub species that are native, light-tolerant and flood-tolerant.

• Todocumenttheeffectivenessofanysupplementaryplantingconditions,e.g.fertilisation,minimum planting height, supporting stakes.

Abstract

In the last 50 years, the island of Borneo has lost over 56its lowland rainforest and is currently losing more than 1.2 million hectares annually to deforestation, which is increasing exponentially. Obtaining accurate demography, life history variables and ecological parameters of threatened fauna across habitats and in relation to human disturbance are vital pre-requisites for informing such strategies and subsequent on-the-ground actions. Despite this need these vital baseline datasets are lacking for the Borneo-endemic red langur (Presbytis rubicunda). The extreme level of deforestation of both Bornean peat-swamp and lowland forest loss in general; the lack of data available on this species and the assigning of Endangered threat status to the better-studied sympatric orang-utans and gibbons is impetus for reassessing its status, and it is likely that a full assessment of this species will lead to an ‘upgrade’ in its official threat status. Long-term monitoring of red langur populations in Sabangau, including assessment of life-history variables such as inter-birth index, age at sexually mature and age at emigration from natal groups is vital for informing conservation management schemes as they provide baseline data detailing this species’ ability to survive disturbance.

Abstract

The PhD-project Cultures of Madness and the Madness of Culture is interested in the internationalization of European classifications of ‘insanity’ around 1900 in colonial situations. It focuses (1) on the intersections of psychiatric theories, practices, politics, institutions and technologies with discourses of ‘culture’ and ‘cultures’ around 1900 and (2) on psychiatry as a means of colonial power, oppression, discipline and governmentality. Its regional focus is set in Java and Germany; it’s starting point is a scene and an event, that took place in the year 1904: The German medical and experimental scientist Emil Kracpclin, reformer of German psychiatry and inventor of the first ever classification system for mental illness, visits the Dutch colonial asylum in Bogor, Java and diagnoses Javanese, Chinese, Malay and European patients to formulate the concept of an international or (as he calls it) ‘comparative psychiatry’ (Kracpclin 1904). It proclaims the universal and global validity of newly developed European concepts of insanity, while at the same time ‘culturalizing’ the discipline of psychiatry by stating different cultural ‘modes’ of mental illness.

In the centre of Emil Kraeplin’s theories operates a new diagnostic system, die “Zahlkarten”, inscribing for the first time die psychophysiological states of patients (for example) from Munich and from Jakarta, from Heidelberg and from Bogor. The congruency of the writing acts in different places shows mental illnesses and patients as a) universally comparable and b) culturally diverse. The “Zahlkarten” (or ‘counting cards’) are linked to new technical media and experimental systems, laboratory work and the psychiatric discourses of the time in Europe. On the other hand, these ‘Zahlkarten’ are linked to administrative and jurisdictional files, to confinement architectures and police reports, to colonial rule and economic interests in Java.



Accordingly, die dissertation operates on a two-fold cpistemoiogical break: At the beginning of the 20th century, new media and experimental systems inform new medical and scientific models of insanity and normality and connect them to new psychiatric discourses, institutions, practices and architectures. At die same time, these technologies are operated globally in colonial situations and constitute a knowledge of man and his madness as an international affair and political project. At the basis of today’s internationally accepted Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-1V)’ lies a new media system and a colonial past.

Knowledge production is thereby to be shown as a recursive model: At the same time that European classifications of madness are installed in colonial situations, psychophysiological states, today known as ‘culture-bound-syndromes’ enter a psychiatric discourse and turn up inEurope. For example, Amok - an originally Malay/Indonesian term and probably the best-known ‘culture-bound-syndromc’ — is coined a psychiatric case and diagnosed in Europe for the first time in the year 1904 among sailors in the harbour bars of Liverpool and Sevilla. From die viewpoint of die technologies that pre- and describe, what ‘madness’ is, a purely Eurocentric model of the history of science is de-ccntcred: an internadonal and transcultural knowledge of insanity is implemented as a feedback system, that changes discourse and pracdce in Asia and Europe.

I therefore understand my research as a contxibudon to the important historiograpluc work on the transnadonality of knowledge and science that aims to undermine simplifying models of centre and periphery. Furthermore, I hope to strengthen a criucal view on die colonial legacy of modern science in Europe as an inherent part of its history.

Abstract:

My project problematizes nationally-bound colonial historiography by illminating the transnational dimensions of the colonial public health system in the Philippines during the American period (1901-1935), tracing its genealogy from Britain to Indonesia and Malaysia and exploring circuits of knowledge and communication beyond metropole-colony axis.

Objectives

Framing the research project in these terms and along these lines wifl allow me to: a) examine the extent and the processes in which the knowledge of individual empires became collective imperial knowledge, shared among colonizing powers; and b) determine how that knowledge was deployed to question the validity of Asian epistemologies as I intend to:

• recuperateculturalandmedicalepistemologiesthathavebeentransformedandadapted;

• drawemphasis on identities (hybridities and fractured identities) thatweremade andremade and how these have shaped postcolonial contexts and have been reworked in them;

• showhow the civilizingmission evolved into the idea of development, givingway toclaims of universal notions of rights and participation, particularly for former colonies and colonial subjects, despite the exclusions and inequities that have been historically associated with them; and

• bringtogethersocialscientistsandhealthpractitionerstorediscoveraspectsofSoutheastAsian ways of life and learn from these.



Hopefully, this research project will open new research possibilities for future scholars and serve as a particular contribution to the development of the historical discipline in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

Methodology

Comparing different imperial systems or even different parts of an empire transnarionally, however, raises questions about what is to be compared and how comparison will be undertaken. (Cooper and Stoler, 1997) Taking this into consideration, I have placed the US and British Empires and their component parts in a specific period through the analytical frame of the history of medicine. In this manner, the questions to be raised about chronology, colonial contexts, categories and patterns of rule, as well as the extent to which U.S. colonial models of rule were culled from and passed along and across different imperial territories are narrowed.

The bulk of my research for Indonesia will consist of accessing primary data. For the secondary materials I will rely on library materials and books available.

Abstract

A survey of Indonesia’s current medical landscape shows that many of its most prominent and respected medical institutions have their origins in the public activities of modern religious groups in late colonial Indonesia. In the city of Yogyakarta, for example, Muslims, Protestants, and Catholics all established hospitals in the late colonial period that continue to serve the public today: the Protestant Rumah Sakit Bethesda, founded in 1899; the Islamic Rumah Sakit PKU Muhammadiyah, founded in 1923; and the Catholic Rumah Sakit Panti Rapih, founded in 1929. Similar Muslim, Protestant, and Catholic hospitals and clinics emerged and flourished throughout the Indonesian archipelago during the late 19Ih and early 20 century and continue to serve as landmark institutions of modem medicine in urban and rural communities throughout the nation.

My dissertation research explores the social, political, and religious significance of this widespread movement among modem Muslims, Protestants, and Christians to found modem hospitals and clinics during the half century prior to Indonesian independence. Modem hospitals, along with modem schools, were the two most prominent vehicles through which modern religious groups sought to participate in public life. Yet, this significant movement in modern Indonesian history has remained understudied by historians of modem Indonesia.

Based on archival research, this project explores the history of modern Muslim, Protestant, and Catholic healthcare networks in Indonesia during the late 19th and early 20th century and considers how their interactions with one another contributed to the flourishing of a secular, multi-religious national public sphere and civil society in late colonial Indonesia. As my dissertation research plans to demonstrate, religious hospitals and clinics played important yetoften overlooked roles in Muslim, Protestant, and Catholic attempts to fashion new identities as religious people within a social world increasingly organized around a multi-religious, secular public sphere. It is my hope and conviction as a historian that as we increase our historical understanding of the roots of interreligious public life in modem Indonesia, we may also increase our awareness of its benefits, of the social and political conditions necessary for its survival, and of the most dangerous threats to its continued existence.

Abstract

My dissertation examines the entanglements of states and overseas Chinese diaspora communities in Southeast Asia from 1870 to 1930 during the first age of liberal globalization. It focuses on the contested construction of legal-knowledge regimes of family law and citizenship as a lens to historicize the making of the modern Chinese diaspora and to illuminate the complexities of colonial and national state efforts to channel, incorporate and manage the diasporic communities of sojourning Chinese traders and laborers across maritime Southeast Asia. Deploying an interdisciplinary and transregional methodology, I center my work on the British Straits Settlements (present day Singapore, Malacca and Penang), the protected Malay states (much of present day Malaysia), the Netherlands East Indies (present day Indonesia) and southeastern coastal China. My approach places colonial legal and knowledge regimes, and their dialectical relationship with Chinese diasporic communities, at the center of the colonial



state formation process during two periods of particularly intense political contestations over diasporic kinship conduct and citizenship recognition: one beginning in the 1870s when British and Dutch colonial states and the diasporic Chinese patriarchal elites in the region first came to display strong concerns over family and kinship issues leading to colonial-inspired family reform campaigns at the turn of the century; and the second after the Chinese state passed new citizenship and civil laws in 1906-9 and 1927-31, when Chinese claims on its overseas subjects became not only diasporic but also international legal problems. This project draws on primary sources from multiple archives in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, the Netherlands and Great Britain. The question of legislating nationality and citizenship for sojourners and settlers remains a common problem for the post-colonial states in Southeast Asia (in this case, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore) and their regional and global neighbors. But the full history of the origins of this question in the colonial period has yet to be written. I believe there will be important lessons that Indonesia and ASEAN countries can learn from the colonial period, as they now face similar challenges in a new age of globalization.

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari kecenderungan tata pemerintahan Indonesia dari masa kemerdekaan (1949) sampai saat ini, khususnya pada gerakan anti-korupsi




Mitra Kerja : LPPM Unika Atma Jaya (Dr. A. Prasetyantoko)



Abstract:

This thesis will chart the history of anti-corruption sentiment in Indonesia, looking at its place in Indonesia society from the beginning of Independence. Corruption, as a governance challenge, was prominent during Dutch colonial times and the transition to an independent state meant that the new government of Sukarno was already struggling to overcome the issue. As the Old Order period progressed, governance issues presented an increasing challenge and the when the New Order regime took over, the issue was directly addressed by Suharto through a number of means. As the New Order period progressed, the influence of anti-corruption sentiment waxed and waned, until 1998 when it became a key issue in Suharto’s resignation. As the Reformasi era has progressed, the issue of anti-corruption has continued to influence political behavior. This study aims to chart how ideas, approaches and framing mechanismshave been used topromote governance issues, the impact of such approaches and the responses of government throughout Indonesia’s history as an independent state.

Objectives: To study the history of the attitudes towards governance in Indonesia from Independence (1949) through to the present and particularly focus on the anti-corruption movement. This study aims to historically chart the main actors and organisations involved in overseeing government, and the contribution they have made to overall governance discourse in Indonesia.

Methodology:This study will use a multi-faceted approach, incorporating interviews with key stakeholders (namely academics and NGO workers) with knowledge of the history of governance agenda and legislation in Indonesia. Also I will be doing archival research, looking at legislation, newspaper and magazine reports, television interviews, ministerial speeches, press releases, and other relevant sources of information. The overall study will result in a historical understanding of governance issues in Indonesia and the responses to these issues from political groups, NGOs, media and the general public

Location:The bulk of this study will be undertaken in Jakarta, Indonesia, where access to archival materials is best. Supplementary desk studies will be conducted in the home country, Australia.

Duration:The study is part of a PhD program and will go for approximately 3.5 years. The length of time spent researching in Indonesia will be approximately 12 months. This study is supplemented by a Prime Minister’s Endeavour Award, provided by the Australian Government, and supplies funding for 12 months abroad.

Abstract

My research aims to study history of port state Pontianak in West Kalimantan and maritime Southeast Asia focusing on the period from the 18th century to the independence of Indonesia. Port State Pontianak (hereafter Pontianak) was founded in 1771 by the family of al-Qadrl from Hadhramaut (an eastern part of Yemen) and their followers. The location established near the mouth of the Kapuas River, a main highway in the West Kalimantan, led the newly founded state of Pontianak to a main trading center. Pontianak had kept the position of a major political and economical center in West Kalimantan and a gateway to maritime Southeast Asia from its founding, after passing periods of the VOC (Dutch East India Company), Dutch Colonial and Japanese military administration, to the independence of Indonesia. That fact makes it not unreasonable to regard Pontianak as a key state for thinking history of West Kalimantan.

There are studies of West Kalimantan on historical outlines of Pontianak (e.g. Ansar 2000; Hassanuddin 2000; Somers Heidhues 1998; Van Goor 1985, 1986) and the other Indigenous states (e.g. Ota 2010; Pabali 2003), and a few specific topics, such as the Chinese immigrants including Chinese Kongsi (a mining cooperative) and Islam (e.g. Somers Heidhues 2003; Yuan 2000; Yusriadi 2007). But many facts and topics of the history have still remained unrevealed, and it is necessary to advance the historical study of Pontianak and West Kalimantan.

Moreover, when we consider the history of Pontianak in West Kalimantan, it is necessary to study not only in the local context of Pontianak or West Kalimantan but also in a broader historical and regional context because Pontianak and West Kalimantan had influenced each other and also been influenced by the historical situation of contemporary maritime Southeast Asia. For an example, active movements of various groups such as the Arabs, Bugis, Chinese and the others in West Kalimantan, which led to an origin of multiethnic society, had connected



politically, economically and socially to the historical situation in contemporary maritime Southeast Asia (e.g. Freitag 1997; Ota 2010; Reid 1997). In addition to that, some scholars, (cf.) Anthony Reid (Reid 1997) and Victor Lieberman (Lieberman 2009), have started to re-think and re-estimate the history of Southeast Asia in wider regional context beyond Southeast Asia, in early modern era in particular. As this case shows, thinking local history inbroader historical context help us deepen the understanding of the history beyond the local historical meanings and contexts. Besides it, that is a necessary thing for us who living in globalizing world to find insights for our future.

For my study, it is important to research in West Kalimantan and Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia at Jakarta. Previous studies on history of West Kalimantan largely have tended to use European historical documents as its sources. Local historical materials in Indonesia and West Kalimantan have not been used enough yet. Scholars have begun attempts to use the local materials in Indonesia and West Kalimantan more. But the total situation of local materials existing in Indonesia and West Kalimantan on history of West Kalimantan still have not been clear, for even local scholars and people, in comparison with the materials persevered in outside Indonesia such as in the United Kingdoms and the Netherlands.

To advance study about history of West Kalimantan from wider historical perspective, it is necessary to study with not only European materials (contexts) but also local ones. When I study it with that point of view, I need to research the total situations of local materials in West Kalimantan and Arsip NasionafRepublik Indonesia at Jakarta at first, then to collect and analyze that Though scholars and informants in West Kalimantan and Indonesia admit that there is possibility of still remaining materials, it should be investigated to reveal its total figure. Therefore I selected West Kalimantan and the Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia as my research fields.

Gripping the situation of local materials for my study theme, and~collecting and analyzing it are my research task in this research.

Research objectives

My research objective is to study history of port state Pontianak in West Kalimantan and maritime Southeast Asia focusing on the period from the 18th century to the independence of Indonesia.

When my study deals with comprehensive history of port state Pontianak in West Kalimantan and maritime Southeast Asia during that period, it focuses on those topics in particular as follows.

(S.9) Constructions of ‘Europeanness’ in late-colonial Indonesia (Ca. 1910-1940)

Abstract

‘Europeanness’ is an all but self-evident category of ascription. It both depends on the political and social context it is used in, and is simultaneously instrumental in affecting this very context through its shifts of meaning. This social performativity of ‘Europeanness’ becomes particularly pertinent in colonial contexts. In colonial situations, concepts of ‘Europeanness’ were constitutive of the social power-structure. The relationship between rulers and ruled was constructed as a binary of ‘European’ and ‘native’. Consequently, if we want to understand colonial systems of rule, we need to study colonial identity constructions.

In my thesis project, I discuss constructions of ‘Europeanness’ in late-colonial Indonesia. This concept was central to Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia, but it is all but self-evident in its contents. What did people living in and/or thinking about the colonies actually mean when they referred to ‘Europeanness’? Did they identify it with certain behaviour? Why was this concept chosen instead of other concepts? What relation was constructed to concepts like the



West, Christianity, Modernity, Race (‘Whiteness’) or the Nation (‘Dutchness’)? Was the concept of ‘Europeanness’ used unintentionally or with specific goals? Did constructions of ‘Europeanness’ change over time to reflect social and political changes? And what does all this tell us about the functioning of the colonial system of rule in late-colonial states? My research will be divided into three independent chapters, which will bring different aspects to the fore. The first chapter is on legal constructions of ‘Europeanness’, the second chapter is on concepts transferred through girls’ education, and the third chapter is on private business and their employment policy. All-in-all, my research will provide a reconsideration of the meaning of such categories as race, class and gender in colonial contexts. It will also contribute to the research done into constructions of ‘Europeanness’ within Europe itself, thus showing the close entanglement between Europe and the South-East-Asian region.

For the purposes of this research, I need to do research in the Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia in Jakarta; in the archive of De Javasche Bank at the Bank Indonesia building, Jakarta Kota; and in the provincial archives in Makassar. These institutions hold valuable collections that will enrich and nuance my research. Their collections from the colonial period will show the everyday ways in which the colonisers in Indonesia used their self-defined status as ‘Europeans’ to uphold the colonial hierarchy and to keep suppressing the rest of the Indonesian population. I already spent a first research stay in Indonesia between May and September 2011. This stay was very successful, but I need to do more research, especially for chapter three of my thesis. I plan to do this research between June 2012 and September 2012.

Abstract

The institutional history of the museum is characterized by several “waves of expansion”. After World War II, the development of the museum experienced a push in newly independent states and thus has to be seen in the context of decolonization and nation building. In fact, this period did not come to an end yet and is characterized by a global boom of the museum (J. Baur 2010).

This development can also be observed in the Indonesian context, particularly in the form of an increasing number of private museums. The recent boom of the Indonesian art market, the latest one happened in the years 2008 and 2009 (I conducted a study about this phenomenon in 2008), resulted in a speculation bubble that finally burst. As a consequence, the different actors began to rediscover the value of historical art works. This was accompanied by a desire to better define the “own” art history in order to become independent from western concepts.

On a more general level, the Indonesian society appears to be in a process of cultural orientation. That is why a revitalization of the own history and traditions can be observed in all areas of life. The exhibition of the first modern Indonesian painter, Raden Saleh, in June 2012



unfolded this societal discourse. The exhibition registered 20,000 visitors in only two weeks time!

This observation is also in line with the global phenomenon that the “conservation” of history brings about a sense of identity for peoples and nations. The question arises “how” this conversation should be realized; whether it should be, as it is widely discussed, in the form of museums. If the museum was the answer, the resulting question would be which function the different stakeholders, such as the state, have to play. Against this background, the actors in the Indonesian art scene triggered a discourse about what the “ideal” museum is. It still remains unclear how the concept of museum can be defined in the Indonesian context, how the idea of an “ideal” museum can be implemented and who does have to take care of that.

The main question I had when I started with my research was: How is the art sphere in Indonesia institutionalized and embedded in society?

I arrived at the conclusion that the best way to answer this question is to look closer to how the art sphere in Indonesia is institutionalized and embedded in society through the museum as an important actor in the art world. This translates in further question, such as: What ist he function of the art in private and public museums?; or how can we understand the institutionalization of art in Indonesia by analysing the museum. Today, thousands of museums can already be found in Indonesia. In my research I had a look on the landscape of museums in Indonesia as well as their origins. I further analysed if the “ideal” museum – often discussed in the European sense and meaning – can be realized and how it is embedded in contemporary discourses. In short: Which role does the museum play in the Indonesian contemporary art world and society?

Objectives (Implementation)

The main methods I have chosen for my research were empirical methods like Discorse Analysis, Narrative Interviews and Participatory Observation. The reason I had chosen them was because I made a qualitative research in the field of art sociology where it is a common scientific practise to do so. The question or task I followed in my reserch can be perfectly analysed with Discourse Analysis because I found many articles, journals, books, catalogs etc. which discussed the research topic. I also went, for instance, to the libraries or archives like IVAA in Yogyakarta. That way I could get an overview on the highly discussed actors like museums and also the role of the museum in Jakarta. By conducting narrative interviews I could than go deeper and focused more on the topic with a selected interview partner. I did made this often after having applied discourse analysis and participatory observation. However, the participtory observation as a method was one of the most important ones. For the participatory observation



I have choosen one big art project, which was organised by the „Goethe‐Indtitut Indonesien“. It was the quite important exhibition “Raden Saleh and The Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting“. I followed the organisation and implementation of the mentioned project in the hole period of one year. During this period I could a lot of background about many actors of the art field, just because this big and quite important project had many partners, for example also private and public museums.

As a location fort he research I have chosen Jakarta. The art sphere in Indonesia is heavily concentrated on the island of Java. Important interview partners from Yogyakarta, Bali or Bandung I could also meet in Jakarta, just because the art worlds of each art centers in Indonesia are highly connected. In the capital city, which is the political and economic center of Indonesia, are also the most important public art museums like Museum Sejarah Jakarta or Museum Seni Rupa dan Keramik. You can find here also many foreign culture and political organisations, which play a role in the Indonesian art infrastructure. Because of the political and economical role of Jakarta in Indonesia, it is also a magnet for art distributors ‐ and conservators as well as art promoters. Artist from all over Indonesia can be found to be promoted in Jakarta. Many also live and work here. That is why I focused on this quite complex urban area as my research location.

Abstract

This is a proposal for an ethnographic study of the musical and cultural legacy of Ismail Marzuki (1914-1958), Indonesia’s most famous composer of nationalistic songs. Through their performance in public contexts—ceremonies, schools, and the mass media—Marzuki’s songs have long defined Indonesian national culture. Yet Marzuki’s music has never been the primary object of a substantial English-language study. This proposal argues that research into Marzuki’s musical and cultural legacy at the current political moment—when Indonesia is decentralizing, and Indonesian national culture is quickly changing—will improve understanding not only of Indonesia’s national music, but of Indonesian national culture and nationalism.

My proposed research will use ethnographic methodology to trace connections between Marzuki’s music and ideas of the Indonesian nation. I will ask current listeners about the sources of his music’s power, and whether their appraisal of his music has changed with recent changes in the Indonesian state. I will ask Indonesian musicians why they draw on his songs and style today. Does Marzuki’s music still carry the aura of the old, centralized New Order, which supported it for so long? Or does Marzuki’s music recall the time of its composition—the Revolutionary and Guided Democracy eras, with their contested, liminal politics? What music is most appropriate for Indonesia’s national culture in the 21st century? Is the idea of Indonesian national culture itself a relic of a bygone era?

Purpose of research: To improve understanding of Indonesia’s national music, Indonesian national culture, and nationalism.

Methodology: Ethnographic, including interviews of professional musicians, music listeners, intellectuals, and academics, and attendance of performances and public ceremonies. Archival research for sheet music, recordings, and contemporary commentaries on Marzuki in Indonesian university libraries and at the national library.

Location: Jakarta, with side trips to Bandung, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and Tana Toraja (Sulawesi Selatan) to observe performances, conduct interviews, and do archival research.

(T.3) An Ethnography of Amateur Gamelan Musicianship in Central Java

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji etnografi gamelan amatir di Jawa Tengah dengan melihat beberapa aspek seperti alasan memainkan gamelan, arti dari menjadi seorang musisi itu sendiri, dan beberapa aspek lainnya

Bidang Penelitian : Seni/ Etnomusikologi


Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Tengah (Surakarta, Klaten)

Mitra Kerja : Fakultas Seni Pertunjukan, ISI Surakarta (Prasadiyanto, S.Kar., M.A.)

Abstract

What does it mean to say that someone is an amateur musician? Is it a comment on their level of training, the quality of their playing, or simply a statement about whether or not they are paid for performing? However the term is defined, the phenomenon of amateur musicianship raises many questions. What is it about making and performing music that inspires people to invest time and money in it? What is gained by being able to think of oneself as a musician? In analytical terms, where does one look to understand music? Should we take professional performance as the norm and view amateur activity as a lesser form, or regard amateur experience as the foundation on which professional music-making is built?

This proposal will first outline a number of features that make Javanese gamelan a productive area in which to investigate these questions before identifying a number of themes in musicological scholarship with which this project engages. It will then set out the principal aims of the research, detail the methodological approach to be employed and explain how my previous experience has prepared me for this study.

Amateur musicians are a significant feature of the gamelan performance scene in Central Java. This might be as members of groups entirely consisting of amateurs or groups consisting of a mixture of amateur and professional musicians. Whilst amateur performance itself is in no way unique to Java, the way in which amateur musicians are involved in gamelan performance is distinctive. The dynamic rules of interaction within gamelan music mean that anyone with a basic level of competence can be part of an ensemble that is largely made up of far more experienced practitioners. Thus situations where an established master musician, a music student and a sugar factory worker perform together are not uncommon. For the majority of instruments playing technique does not involve any particular complexity, the main focus of



learning to play being the assimilation of a large shared repertoire and the cuing patterns used by instruments with leadership roles. This means that it is not uncommon for a small number of experienced musicians to lead a group of amateur players, with whom they have never rehearsed, in accompanying an eight-hour shadow puppet performance.

This project engages with three strands in the musicological literature. In her analysis of the structures of local music making in urban England, Finnegan (1989) focussed attention on the insights that can be gleaned from amateur practice of music. More recently, Solomon (2010) has called for a greater engagement with the practice of musicians who are considered ‘mediocre’. This project provides an opportunity to foreground players of average ability in the Javanese context. The literature on Central Javanese gamelan is extensive but there is very little ethnography of the practice of music. Scholars have primarily focused on issues of music theory (e.g. Becker, 1979; Perlman, 2004). As expected in research which focuses on the normative technical details of a musical system, this has involved a bias towards studying highly trained, elite musicians associated with prestigious institutions. Aninvestigation of people’s motivations for involvement in performing traditional classical music in a context rich in local and imported popular genres will reveal in which ways cultural capital accrues to gamelan and to what extent this is based on traditionalconstructions of prestige or is counter-cultural in contemporary Indonesia. This project will assess the importance of differences in training, regularity of performance, family background, and income in local understandings of how the boundaries between amateur and professional musicianship are constructed. Studying the social practices of Javanese gamelan will provide insights into the ways in which music-making creates, consolidates, adds nuances to, or challenges social hierarchies in the community. Do musical competence and social prestige carry equal weight in decision-making processes? How do wealthy individual sponsors, agents of the local state, and religious institutions facilitate or obstruct musical practice? This study will also examine the ways in which Javanese people use music to situate themselves in relation to the multi-ethnic nation state (cf. Pemberton 1994) and the complex religious situation in Indonesia.

I will base this research on a period of fieldwork lasting one year. This will consist of extensive participant-observation in performing groups made up exclusively or partially of non-professional musicians as well as formal and informal interviews with amateur musicians and professional musicians who teach and perform with them. This approach will allow me to engage with the full range of societal groups that are involved in amateur music making and to gain access to a wide range of performance settings. As Javanese discourses about music assume a pronounced dichotomy between city and village style which is also linked to issues of tradition and modernity, and gender roles in music (Weiss, 2006), I will include sites in both urban and rural settings. My involvement as a participant-observer will be facilitated by the flexibility of gamelan music in allowing players from outside the usual membership of the group to take part without any disruption or need for explicit induction. As a competent



gamelan musician I will be expected to take part in any music making activity at which I am present. All-female ensembles are an important feature of the amateur gamelan scene and groups consisting entirely of children are becoming more common. Such groups will be an important part of my investigation into amateur music-making but I may need to rely primarily on observation in these cases. I will also interview private and official sponsors, journalists and members of religious groups, and analyse local and national media output relating to amateur musicianship.

My previous experience has prepared me well for undertaking this project. I have been playing gamelan for fifteen years, including two years in Java and have extensive, ongoing involvement with amateur and professional gamelan playing in Europe, which will provide an ideal comparative background against which to view the situation in Java. I speak and read fluent Javanese and Indonesian allowing for a full engagement with musicians on a personal level and with all official documentation and Indonesian academic sources. I have existing contacts at all levels of music making in the two cities that are the main centres of Central Javanese performing arts and the rural areas between them. Musical ethnographiessuch as Bakan’s (1999) work on beleganjur and Park’s (2003) on p’ansori have used self-reflexive accounts to explore the ways in which a student from outside a tradition responds to and interacts with indigenous pedagogy. These have focused on the early stages of acquiring skill in a new form of music. My experience will allow for an interrogation of non-native engagement with music learning at a more advanced stage in the process, although I do not intend to make this a primary focus of my research.

In conclusion, this project will contribute to the comparative study of amateur musicianship, complement the existing literature on Javanese gamelan by shifting the focus from musical theory to music as social practice and will enrich our knowledge of musical practice across a wider range of ability, gender and age.

(T.4) Music Making and Social Distinction in East Javanese Migrant Communities

Tujuan Penelitian : Mendokumentasikan kehidupan musikal dan sejarah tradisi musik pada komunitas etnis campuran di Surabaya dan pesisir Jawa Timur

Bidang Penelitian : Seni/ Etnomusikologi

Lama Penelitian : 10(sepuluh) bulan mulai 18 Juli 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Timur (Surabaya, Pasuruan, Probolinggo, Situbondo, Bangkalan, Pamekasan, Sumenep)

Mitra Kerja : Dr. Fadjar Ibnu Thufail, M.A. - PSDR (LIPI)

Abstract

Objective: The immediate goal of this project is to document musical life and the histories of music traditions in ethnically mixed communities in Surabaya and thepesisiran region of East Java, an area that is very thinly represented in music scholarship. By emphasizing the many ways musicians draw upon and combine a wide range of musical traditions and styles in performances, I hope to develop a grounded understanding of how musicians in these culturally peripheral settings both innovate and draw upon the larger traditions emanating from cultural centers. This project will strive to present an fresh perspective on music history in Java and Madura by considering the roles of migration and economic pressures on the development of traditional music practices and cultural formations.

Methodology: Ethnographic study using techniques of participant-observation in music rehearsals and performances; music lessons with expert performers; oral history interviews; interviews on contemporary music practices and styles with performers, sponsors of performances, and audience members.

Location:The project will be based in Surabaya, where I plan to work closely with musicians and instructors at Sekolah Tinggi Kesenian Wilwatikta and Taman Budaya Surabaya. I will conduct oral historical research in Pasuruan on the many mylhohistorical tales of the colonial sugar industry preserved in ludruk theatre. I plan to conduct interviews and study music performance with musicians in Pasuruan, Probolinggo and Situbondo. In addition, I will travel to Madura (Bangkalan, Pamekasan, and/or Sumenep) for comparative study and to document ongoing relationships between musicians who live in, or perhaps who continue to travel between, the two islands.

(T.6) Waljinah: Keroncong, Identity and Modernity in Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji bagaimana proses modernisasi di negara-negara non-Barat membuat interpretasi teoritis dari modernitas menjadi lebih rumit; yang dicerminkan dalam bentuk musik tradisional keroncong



Daerah Penelitian : DI Yogyakarta, Jawa Tengah (Solo)

Mitra Kerja : Bondet Wrahatnala, S.Sos., M.Sn. - Institut Seni Indonesia Surakarta

Abstract

The melodies and complex, guitar-based rhythms of keroncong music have been part of the popular soundscape of Indonesia for at least the past one hundred years, with some scholars suggesting that its roots that go as far back as the 16th century. My research has focused on the life story of Waljinah, keroncong’s most renowned singer—whose life and career reflect not only developments within the genre, but also how keroncong’s historical trajectory and popularization in the twentieth century parallels Indonesia’s emergence as a modern (and modernizing) independent nation. This research project is centered around Waljinah, keroncong’s most renowned singer. I have chosen to focus on her not only because she has had a long and storied career as a music performer but also because her life and career have unfolded in the important postcolonial era of Indonesia’s independence and her story continous to the present day. At this point, she is one of the only keroncong vocalists who has remained active for this entire period of time.

As a child growing up in relative poverty in rural Central Java and later becoming arguably the most celebrated keroncong vocalist in Indonesia, Waljinah’s life undoubtedly speaks to the ways that Indonesians experienced and adapted to modernizing conditions fromthe mid to late twentieth century. Keroncong, itself, was seen by early Indonesian nationalists and certain intellectuals as “a music of the people,” alluding to its roots in the lower-class, urban communities of Jakarta and its broad appeal, itsaudience reaching across ethnic, class, and geographic boundaries. Examining Waljinah’s life through extensive interviews has provided a grounded understanding of how her involvement in keroncong is implicated in larger state initiatives (during the 1950s ,60s and beyond) to foster national unity.

Keroncong is a string instrument-based music that has its roots in the Portuguese fado music brought to Indonesia by traders in the late 16th century. A traditional keroncong ensemble is comprised entirely of Western instruments—violin, flute, cello, guitar, contrabass,



as well as the cuk and cak (two Indonesian ukeleles). The flute and violin carry the melodic lines while the remaining instruments play complex melodic figuration and rhythmic patterns. Vocalists are also integral in keroncong, not only in terms of adding to the lush textures but also by structuring songs (usually in refrain form).

Drawing from research in anthropology, ethnomusicology and critical theory, I intend to further explore how processes of modernization in non-Western countries continue to complicate and disrupt previously held theoretical interpretations of modernity. My research follows scholars who have called for a critique of models of modernity and modernization based on Western representations and “supreme fictions” referencing social and cultural changes often specific to conditions in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth century (Kahn 1993, Turner 1995). Rather than considering modernity (or even postmodernity) as chronologically specific historical time, I will examine it as a form of temporal consciousness and a state of on-going transition filled with internal contradictions and simultaneous processes of de-traditionalization and re-traditionalizing (Berman 1988). In this sense, new modernities will continue to emerge as spatial relationships between the West and non-West are transformed (Osborne 1995: 16).

(T.7) Studying improvisation/structure in Javanese gamelan singing (sindhenan) to inspire new work

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari komponen-komponen lantunan sinden yang saling berkaitan yakni nada, improvisasi melodi, penempatan ritmik dari melodi tersebut, serta struktur komposisi gamelan dan bagaimana instrumen tersebut mempengaruhi satu sama lain dan berinteraksi dengan pesinden

Daerah Penelitian : DI Yogyakarta, Jawa Tengah (Solo)

Mitra Kerja : Suraji Sumarto, S. Kar., M. Sn. - Institut Seni Indonesia Surakarta

Abstract

With ancestral roots in Indonesia and a burgeoning singing and composing career in the contemporary/experimental jazz world, I propose to study the improvisational traditional singing of Javanese gamelan music, sindhenan, in Solo, Indonesia, in order to inspire new compositions and influence my current improvisational language. I will study sindhenan from two teachers: 1) Bu Mulyani, one of the best pesindhens (the Javanese term for a gamelan singer) from Solo, and whose improvisational variations would be a prime example from which to learn, and 2) Pak Darsono “Vokal,” renowned gamelan master and educator at the famed university ISI Surakarta, with whom I would study the broader compositional and aesthetic aspects of Javanese gamelan. This macro-level study is necessary because ihepesindhen must understand how to sing with all the other instruments of the gamelan. In order to create new work influenced on a deep level by gamelan music, I must learn and absorb many elements of sindhenan. Therefore, I will focus on four of its interrelated components: the tuning, ihepesindhen’s improvised melodies, the rhythmic placement of these melodies, and the structure of a gamelan composition and how the instruments cue each other and interact with ihepesindhen throughout the composition.

Methodology:

First, the tuning of the two essential scales of gamelan music, called slendro andpelog, are very different from the 12-tone equal temperament (12tet) that I was trained to perfect. I will learn to hear and sing in these new tunings by imitating Bu Mulyani and by practicing with the pre-tuned gamelan instruments, thus making slendro and pelog tuning as easy as 12tettosing.

Secondly, I must memorize and analyze the improvised melodies that 2 pesindhen sings on top of the balungan, which literally means “skeleton” or “frame” played by the instruments and is also the core melody of a Javanese gamelan composition, though Marc Perlman in his book UnplayedMelodies talks about other ways of looking at the balungan?’

Thirdly, the pitches of the improvised melody are meaningless without knowing the rhythm, timing, and placement of these melodies. There are specific similarities and differences between rhythmic treatment in sindhenan and jazz improvisation, especially with regard to target endings or what are called cadences in western music. I will apply what I learn from gamelan’s approach to these endings to my composition and improvisation in a myriad of ways.



Finally, Pak Darsono “Vokal” will teach me about the structure of a gamelan composition and how it progresses from the singer’s perspective.

Abstrak

I propose to travel to Bandung, West Java to conduct a world music performance based study of Karinding through the help of a Fulbright grant. My proposed dates of research would commence August 28th and last 13 months through October, 10 months would focus on the Fulbright study and project with an additional 3 months of language classes in a Critical Language Enhancement Award, also through the Fulbright.

Under the direction of Drs. Chaedar Alwasilah;Nanang Supriatna (UNIVERSITAS PENDIDIKAN INDONESIA), I will focus on the link between traditional Sundanese music and its role in strengthening the modern generation’s connection with Sunda cultural heritage. Working under both the performing art and music department will allow me to assimilate both the theoretical and practical aspects of Sudanese traditional performance focusing on Karinding.



Through a mix of modern media and annotated documentation (photos, recordings, videos, and accompanying supplemental meanings) I plan to capture the current revitalization of the Karinding movement and publish a comprehensive overview of this movement available to all online. Using the arts as a gateway to culture, my proposed study aims to answer the following questions: how are the city, youth, and culture being impacted by this modern revitalization of Karinding music? What does this mean for Sundanese people and their traditional values, and how can that be translated to an international scale? These questions can only be addressed by actively learning and performing the instrument itself.

Working in Bandung for 10 months would ensure access to a multitude of cultural events, greater Sundanese music community, venues, and recording facilities. I hope to start in September 2011, with a three-month focus on Bahasa Indonesia (official language) at the Bandung Talent Source through tailored courses. In November, I would resume performing Karinding. and gathering material to expand and promote my project online. Based on my previous experience, I expect a performance schedule of an average of 8 shows a month. In February, I would incorporate learning to make Karindings with regular visits to Sumedang under the instruction of Abah Olot. still concentrating on recording and documentation. Bandung is also a central hub for visiting surrounding traditional Sundanese villages of Badui luar (outer Badui), Cipta Gelar, and Kampung Naga among others. March through May, after 6 months of language immersion, I aim to visit these surrounding traditional Sundanese villages to connect with, and fully understand, some of the more traditional aspects of Sundanese culture.

Abstract

Akhir-akhir ini, banyak kebudayaan tradisional di seluruh dunia terancam punah khsusnya daerah-daerah populer untuk Pariwisata. Dengan keadaan ini, para peneliti dari kalagan warisan budaya menfokuskan situasi kebudayaan di tempat tertentu. Misalnyadaerah Reiko di Cina yang terkenal sebagai kota kuno dan pemandagannya indah. Sekarang Reiko sangat popular sebagai tempat wisata dan banyak wisatawan menikmati keindahannya. Sedangkan tidak sedikit tanah dijual untuk wisata dan pendatang tinggal di sana. Mereka adalah pedagan dan tidak tahu kebudayaan di Reiko. Situasi seperti ini hanya melestarikan “kota” saja, tetapi tidak melindugi dan melestarikan kebudayaan khas Reiko yang sangat dalam. Penelitian-penelitian seperti ini baru dimulai kalagan peneliti warisan cagar Budaya, tetapi belum dimulai peneliti dari kalagan peneliti Budaya intangible.

Saya berpikir dalam situasi di atas, fungsi sekolah yang mengajar kebudayaan-kubudayaan setempat menjadi sangat penting, karena salah satu fungsi sekolah itu mengajar kebudayaan adalah kemampuan-kemampuan dasar diperlukan murid-murid. Tetapi sayangnya di Yogyakarta, waktu saya belajar tari klasik Yogyakarta pada tahun 2008-2009, saya sering dengar “kualitas penari-penari sekarang rendah, mereka pintar menari bermacam-macam tarian baik tradisi maupun Kontemporer, tetapi isi jiwanya kosong”. Situasi ini bisa dikatakan “krisis kebudayaan”. Maka saya berminat kenapa kualitas penari-penari sekarang rendah, apakah berkaitan dengan aturan-aturan pemerintah di sekolah dan industry Pariwisata.

Buku-buku atau article tentang kebudayaan dan tari-tarian ada banyak, ada banyak buku tentang tari klasik Yogyakarta juga. Tetapi tidak banyak buku-buku itu menyingung masalah-masalah di atas atau meningung sedikit saja. Sedangkan buku ditulis Fukuoka “Jawa no Kemen-buyou” tentang topeng Cirebon, menjelaskan situasi kebijakan kebudayaan terhadap topeng Cirebon dan bagaimana cara baru untuk melestarikannya. Dalam buku ini Fukuoka dapat kesimpulan situasi tari-tarian di desa sekarang, tetapi kurang menjelaskan situasi di tempat wisata dan tempat yang Kraton masih mempunyai grup kesenian.



Objectives

Saya memilih tempat penelitian di Yogyakarta. Di Yogyakarta ada banyak kebudayaan baik kebudayaan desa maupun kebudayaan Kraton. Dan saya menfokuskan kebudayaan Kraton khsus tari klasik Yogyakarta. Alasannya tari klasik Yogyakarta sangat dilindugi dan dilestarikan dengan kebijakan kebudayaan dan sering dipakai untuk upacara atau hiburan dalam banyak acara baik Kraton maupun pemerinta dan rakyat. Dan tentu tari klasik Yogyakarta adalah sarah satu tujuan wisata di DIY khsus sejak tahun 1980an.

Abstract

I conductedfieldwork on “Indonesian Migrant Domestic Workers in Indonesia: A Human Security Perspective”mainly in Indonesia (Jakarta and Karawang) and partially in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpurand Penang) from February2012 to January 2013. Since there arehead quarter of ASEAN -ASEAN Secretariat -and many ASEAN-relatedorganizations in Jakarta, I also researched the rights of migrant workers in ASEAN in Jakarta.I proceeded with this fieldwork in line withmy dissertation research design at ISS Domestic Labour and Workers’ Protection in Regional Migration: The Case of Indonesian Female Migrant Domestic Workers in Malaysia.The aim of this fieldwork is tohighlight the connections between different layers of power which (1) deny the recognition of rights (2) influence the nature of direct abuse and (3) create the conditions of vulnerability which are distinct from other types of occupations in the service sector, from the perspective of female domestic workers as right holders.

Following my dissertation research design,a mixedmethodological approachwas adopted for this fieldwork–(1) preliminarysurvey(2) interview (semi-& un-structured) andfocus group



discussion(3) participatory observationand (4) discourse analysis.First of all, I conducted baseline survey with 100 aspiring migrants, semi-structured & unstructured interviews with 53 returnees from Malaysia, focus group discussion with aspiring migrants and returneesand participatory observation in Karawang District, West Java Province.

(U.2) Performance Analysis for the Globalization of Gyeongsangbuk-do Saemaul Undong

Tujuan Penelitian : Menganalisis keberhasilan penerapan proyek Saemaul Undong di Indonesia




Mitra Kerja : Ratih Pratiwi Anwar - Pusat Studi Korea UGM

Abstract

Saemaul Undong has the world significance andvalue as a successful mode) for poverty elimination, mindset, reformation and modernization of rural areas (communities). Around 50.000 participants from 103countries, have completed international Saemaul training since the 1970s. 157 Saemaul projects were implemented in 18 countries from 2002 to 2010. Many international organizations including UN (United Nations), UNDP (United Nations Development Program), UNESCAP (United Nations Economic and Social Commission for .Asia and the Pacific) and Wf-P (World Food Program) have paid attention to Saemaul Undong as an alternative model of poverty eradication, fight against hunger and an international development aid.



Gyepngsangbuk-do, the birthplace of Saemaul Undong. has taken the lead inglobalization of Saemaul Undong. Korea has been successfully modernized byGyeangsangbuk-do which started Saemaul Undong in the 1970s and recently restored it. and Gyeongsangbuk-do has also taken the initiative in the globalization of Saemaul Undong by hosting Korea Saemaul Expo In 2009. Moreover, Gyeongsangbuk-do has Spread the globalization of Saemaul Undong focusing on China, Indonesia and Vietnam Since 2002, and particularly, it has recently implemented Saemaul-style community development projects in African countries; in .cooperation with UN and KQKA

However, problems have been raised that there has not been objective evaluation despite implementation of plenty of Saemaul projects. With growing political support from the government and people’s interest in Saemaul Undong, global projects of Saemaul Undong have increased rapidly. Nevertheless, there is no concrete evaluation or diagnosis to know reality of Saemaul projects and its ripple effect, and prepare for alternatives. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct a critical evaluation on those projects, particularly, performance analysis for the promotion and sustainability of the globalization of Saemaul Undong.

Purposes

This research aims at analyzing performances of Saemaul projects in Indonesia. Saemaul projects in Indonesia are the most significant part of globalization of Gyebngsangbuk-do Sacmaul Undong. Even though support for Saemaul projects in Indonesia from Gyeongsangbuk-do has been reduced, Saemaul training for village leaders and promotion of community projects have been continued in Indonesia itself. However, any objective evaluation and analysis on those projects have not been conducted in Korea. Therefore, after thorough evaluation for Sacmaul projects through joint field investigation into local communities jn Indonesia, this research can be used for the development of a performance analysis model for the globalization of Saemaul Undong.

(U.3) Learning and action in the design and implementation of interventions that aim to reduce stigma in people affected by leprosy in Cirebon, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Berkontribusi pada pemahaman praktis dan teoritis mengenai faktor-faktor yang memiliki dampak terhadap stigma terkait kesehatan pada penderita lepra



Daerah Penelitian : Jawa Barat (Cirebon)

Mitra Kerja : Prof. Irwanto, Ph.D. - Pusat Kajian Disabilitas FISIP UI

Abstract

Throughout its history leprosy has been associated with extreme prejudice, fear and revulsion. The importance of health related stigma is increasingly acknowledged. Interventions that aim to reduce stigma operate on different levels: intrapersonal (e.g. counselling), interpersonal, organizational/institutional level (e.g. training), community level (e.g. education) and governmental/structural level (e.g. rights-based approaches) (Heijnders & Van Der Meij, 2006). Gussow and Tracy argued that it is essential for interventions to work to understand the social history, current cultural meaning and the ‘world-view’ of the people involved (Gussow & Tracy, 1970). Heijnders and Van der Meij proposed that interventions should start “targeting the intrapersonal level, to empower affected persons to assist in the development and implementation of stigma-reduction programmes at other levels” (Heijnders & Van Der Meij, 2006). Cross et al. state that “stigma programmes should be multi-targeted and designed with an intention to adjust interactions between groups at different societal levels” (Cross, Heijnders, Dalal, Sermrittirong, & Mak, 2011).

However, so far the impact of interventions is not studied. The SARI project was initiated to address this need. It aims to measure the effectiveness of three promising stigma reduction interventions including i) counselling and empowerment, ii) contact between people affected by leprosy and the community, and iii) socio economic development.

Cirebon District, located on the North Coast of West Java, was selected as the area of research and project implementation because it has a high number of new cases annually and has according local experts higher leprosy-related stigma in comparison to other districts. In 2011, Cirebon had 2,405,475 inhabitants and comprised 40 kecamatan (sub-districts).



The main subjects are people affected by leprosy. The research population consists of the 600 subjects from Cirebon district that participate in the 3 interventions and the control group. Also the views of key persons in the community, such as neighbours, teachers, religious leaders and health workers are considered.

Objectives

To understand better which factors explain success and failure in the stigma reduction interventions, and under conditions, a fierce commitment towards learning is needed. Moreover, in order to continuously change the interventions for the better a dedication towards action is required. The aim of this PhD study, in particular, is to contribute to the theoretical and practical understanding of learning and action within health and development interventions.

(U.4) Reduce stigma in schoolchildren by developing learning materials for teachers

Tujuan Penelitian : Mereduksi stigma yang melekat pada anak penderita lepra dengan mengembangkan bahan pelajaran yang dapat digunakan oleh guru di dalam kelas


Lama Penelitian : 4 (empat) bulan mulai 19 Maret 2012

Abstract

Many studies confirmed the fact that leprosy is a worldwide burden of disease, especially for children in endemic areas. In 2010, worldwide 228474 new cases of leprosy were detected, including 20648 new cases among children. However, even more children are permanently disabled due to leprosy. Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium leprae. Affected children can show visible symptoms as erythematic patches on the skin, which are an important indicator for the diagnosis. Well timed appropriate treatment can cure the patient, and the visible patches will disappear. However, left untreated, the bacteria can be progressive causing permanent damages, for instance malformation of the limbs, blindness, and loss of sensation. Although these permanent damages have a big impact, the leprosy related stigma may induce even more difficulties in daily activities and participation. Many studies point out that leprosy has a negative image where outcasts are treated like lepers. The experienced stigma has a negative influence on a patient’s life, but also on their treatment and cure. The stigma in children may affects their internal relationships with their peers, families and community, which influences their activities in school, but also can lead to abuse, denial of care and forced child labour.6-7Unfortunately, stigma is hard to define and measure, because it is subjective and a mixture of attitudes, beliefs and behavior.8 Besides, many factors contributing to the stigma vary across continents and communities. Since 2010, the SARI project carried out a 4 year trial on stigma reduction intervention for people affected by leprosy. One of the main findings from this study so far is that many children or youth affected by leprosy are stigmatized and as a result drop (temporary or entirely) out of school, because they feel ashamed and are teased. In addition, also some teachers and principals have asked children or students to leave the school because they are afraid they will infect others.

Despite previous research on children with leprosy and stigma, until now little is known about interventions to reduce stigma. Although there are effective interventions with stigmatized adults affected by leprosy, those cannot be converted directly to children, because children are probably affected in different ways by stigma than adults, or react differently. In addition, lesson could be learned from the effective interventions on children with HIV/AIDS-related stigma and may serve as a model.

To avoid and reduce both the internalized-stigma in affected children as the cnacted-stigma of non-affected children and teachers, and thereby to avoid the drop out, more research on contact interventions need to be carried out. The main purpose of this research is to bring affected children or youth and the non-affected children together, and by using groups discussions to develop material that can be used by teachers or other relevant people in the classroom. The main research question will be:



How can children or youth affected by leprosy develop material (in a participatory way) that will reduce stigma (teasing, gossiping, discrimination, staring) in the classroom?

Methods

To develop the material for teachers, first the perceptions and issues about stigma will be collected by using qualitative research. With focus groups discussions and in-depth interviews as much as possible data will be obtained. The questions and topics which will be discussed inthe focus groups are set up by the researcher in advance. The choice of using focus groups as main method is because this is interactive and may be accessible for children or youth. The participants of these focus groups will be selected using inclusion criteria, for instance the amount of affected and non-affected need to be equal, but also the division of girls and boys may be equal. However, this will first be discussed with the research assistants. During the session, problems, issues, ideas, solutions or any other form of information will be written down by the researcher in a notebook. In the development part of the research, creating informative material for the teacher, this notebook will be consulted. Also in the analysing part of the research this notebook will be used.

(U.5) The Stigma Reduction Interventions Using the Interactive Learning and Action Approach

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari reduksi stigma pada penderita lepra melalui pendekatan aksi dan pembelajaran interaktif




Mitra Kerja : Prof. Irwanto, Ph.D - Pusat Kajian Disabilitas FISIP UI



Abstract

Leprosy is an infectious disease that is caused by Myobacteriumleprae and is (probably) transmitted air¬borne but has a low pathogeneity. Even though leprosy is slowly disappearing, this disease is still endemic in African, Southern American, and South-East Asian countries. Indonesia is one of the top three of countries which have the highest leprosy prevalence.Besides the physical disability that can be caused by leprosy, stigma is often associated with leprosy. The Stigma Assessment and Reduction of Impact (SARI) project is a four-year field trial that aim to reduce the stigma for people affected with leprosy.ln order to make this project a success process evaluation will give room to improve and optimise the interventions. In order to evaluate the stigma reduction intervention, qualitative research will be conducted in Cirebon district, West Java. The research consists of interviews and/or focus groups with the participants of the SARI project and other relevant stakeholders.

Abstract

Saat ini jumlah orang lanjut usia (berusia 60 ke atas) di Indonesia telah banyak diprediksi. Dalam situasi perubahan struktur populasi, pelayanan lanjut usia {Elderly Care) diperlukan. Penelitian ini difokuskan di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) yang merupakan wilayah dengan usia harapan hidup tinggi. Terutama di daerah pedesaan Yogyakarta.

Umumnya di daerah perkotaan telah dilakukan berbagai pelayanan sosial kesejahteraan lanjut usia oleh pemerintah. Di sisi lain, penduduk lanjut usia di pedesaan diperkirakan masih dirawat kesehatannya oleh anggota keluarga/kerabat, dan penduduk masyarakat lokal melalui hubungan gotong-royong dengan pola tradisional.

Penelitian ini memperhatikan bahwa apa yang anggota keluarga/kerabat, juga masyarakat lokal lakukan untuk merawat kesehatan orang lanjut usia. Peneliti hendak menjelaskan mengenai apakah makna kesehatan di zaman ini bagi para orang lanjut usia dan anggota keluarga/kerabat, dan penduduk masyarakat lokal merawatnya. Apakah modernisasi di



daerah perkotaan, urbanisasi dan hubungan antara manusia berdampak pada pola perawatan kesehatan orang lanjut usia di daerah pedesaan.

Metodologi digunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Untuk menjelaskan peristiwa atau gejala social, peneliti mewawancara perspektif antropologi budaya terhadap orang lanjut usia juga anggota keluarga/kerabat, dan penduduk masyarakat lokal di pedesaan

Abstract

The research questions of this research are as followings.

1. What are the reasons for nurse candidates to work in Japan? Do they have prior expectation? Is their expectation met or adjusted after coming to Japan?

2. Do family backgrounds (e.g. religion and moral education in the family, parents’ occupations, urban versus rural home, and socioeconomic conditions) supports nurse candidates adaptability to working environment and society in Japan?

3. DoeducationandtraininginIndonesiasufficientlysupportsnursecandidates’adaptabilityto working environment and society in Japan?



4. Do peer group within Indonesian nurse candidates (prior or after departure) help to ease frictions undergone by nurse candidates in Japan? How do this peer help moulding the frictions to “creative frictions” rather than “constraining frictions”?

For this purpose, I will interview with”Indonesian nurse candidates” and ex”Indonesian nurse candidates” in Jakarta and West Java by using qualitative methods.

Abstract

The API Project I hope to work on is The Influences of Saints and Their Teachings on faith, its people in Malaya(sia), which will be part of the book. Hence, I have chosen the theme “Changing Identities and Their Social, Historical, and Cultural Contexts” because I am interested in exploring religious histories and their communities from Indonesia and Thailand, and how their influence have reached far and wide, especially in countries like Malaysia. Among the Muslims in Malaysia, the influence and fame of Java’s nine saints, the WaliSongo and Buddhist



teachings and healing, and its assimilation with Muslim life, and the Thai language, have greatly impacted healers, religious teachers and community. The impact can still be felt in 21st century Malaysia; even in urban areas. These are the two areas I wish to research on.

Why ‘Saints’? Out of all the topics on religion, the main reason why I wish to learn about these learned men and women is because of their impact on society. It is not just their piety that civilians want to emulate; these saints’ written works and teachings, and writings about them have greatly influenced thinking, healing and philosophy of Muslims. I will be studying these saints’ histories, from their childhood to their missionary work. What makes them saints? What qualifies a person as a saint? Were these saintly people flawless - did they have a temper? Did they conduct clandestine but celibate relationships? How did society react to them?

I wish to conduct my research on the mentioned topics. Please refer below.

Research sites: In Java: Cirebon (West Java), in Demak (Central Java) and Lamongan (East Java). I may go out of these areas, to track down their journeys. It is said that the saints visited other South East Asian countries too, such as Thailand, Singapore and perhaps the Philippines.

An offshoot of this study would also include the revering of saints in Indonesia, with regards to visiting sites of persons viewed as saints. A comparative study of the Malaysian tradition of visiting tombs of holy persons and revering holy people will be conducted too.

The Indonesian links to Malaysia’s religious histories are important as they provide a glimpse into the psyche of Malaysians. It is not just their nationals that we have inherited, we have also adopted their foods, cultures and spiritual practices. Our politicians and right wing personalities have constantly imposed that we Malaysians are not a hybrid and that they descended from migrants. When we speak of Indonesian culture, we speak with arrogance and condescension. We refuse to acknowledge that these influences are part of who we are. When it comes to religion, it becomes more sensitive. Even more reason to explore these issues, however sensitive they may be.

There is a great and urgent need to document all these into a product such as a book, and that they can be communicated to a reading public, in a simple, user-friendly manner. I believe, in my 17 years working as a writer and public relations practitioner, I have been able to convey these stories to Malaysians. My first book, ‘I Am Muslim’ was popular among the young, and also unpopular among conservatives! The one remark I received all the time was that the language I used was one that a layman could identify with, even if he detested the subject matter. Yes, there have been other writers and academics who have covered similar grounds, but I believe, I am able to reach out to the real Malaysia, the Malaysian who is curious but intimidated by the hallowed halls of academia and intellectual elite.



Research will include various methods of obtaining information, such as:

• Interviews:thewriterwillcreateandsustainarelationshipwithhersubjects,togaintheirtrust which then will lead to gaining oral history and personal anecdotes.

• Fieldwork:Thewriterwillparticipate in festivalsandreligiousoccasions,aswellasthedaily lives of Indonesians and Thais. Photographs will accompany this work.

• Academicresearch:sourcingfromrelevantliterature,meetingwithacademics

Timeline: The project will take a minimum of a month to two per location.

Because of the sensitivity of the subject matter, confidentiality will be preserved, and the personalities who are featured will only be known by their first initials.

The book should be ready for publication by end of 2014, and will be published by Silverfish Books. Already, some publicity has been drummed up on my Twitter account (@dinazaman) and some of my work has been published in The Malaysian Insider.

In the course of my research, and work, I would also like to conduct workshops to showcase the findings and engage with the audience. I believe Malaysia and Indonesia would appreciate such a discussion. This would also further API’s theme of Changing Identities, and impress the public of the importance of such findings.

Abstract

This research projects looks into the previously under-researched question of the political economy of tropical forest plantations. Asking under what conditions can tropical forest plantations bring socio-economic benefits both for the local stakeholders and the investors as well as for the international community, it connects the global (macro level) political economic factors and paradigms with impacts on the ground (micro-level). This implies a rather interdisciplinary outlook, using insights from forestry, development studies, economics and political science. In the first step of the project, a historical analysis of the paradigms of forest plantations in the tropics has been conducted based on several sets of archival sources. In the second step, case studies of plantations in two tropical countries provide data on the socio-economic and environmental impacts of different plantations, and the possible changes resulting from a global paradigm shift in plantation forestry. Data for the project is gathered through the analysis of the existing document, literature and key informant interviews. Such a broad sample is chosen in an attempt to overcome the general tendency to base conclusions on single case studies, and aims at providing more generalizable data on the current political economy of forest plantations in the tropics.

Envisaged scientific output from the research stay in Indonesia

The proposed output of the work would be a jointly written paper with the CIFOR scientific staff members specializing in forest plantations and governance issues, Mr. Krystof Obidzinski and Mr. Ahmad Dermawan. The paper would be prepared under my lead, based on the analysis of the relevant secondary sources at CIFOR and field data gathering with questionnaires evaluating the plantations linkages to the global paradigms and their general socio-economic-environmental performance. Apart from the paper, the research output will be part of my PhD project “Changing Pradigms in a Changing Climate: Analyzing the Political Econonmy of Tropical Forest Plantations” conducted at the Dresden University of Technology, Germany and the University of Padua, Italy.

Abstract

This proposal focuses on the development of a university partnership between the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), Universitas Mulawarman (UNMUL), and a conservation organization, Rare, to integrate practice-based expertise with research and teaching. The overarching goal is to provide mutually beneficial approaches to research and teaching that maximize conservation efforts and development impact through university and non-governmental organization cooperation. This project aims to develop sustainable collaborations that integrate practice-based conservation work with teaching and research at the university level. To address challenges related to environmental problems in Indonesia specifically in forest and marine ecosystems, this proposal involves collaboration with the University of Mulawarman and Rare in conservation campaigns implemented in local communities. The technical approach focuses on the development of Practice-Instruction-Research (PIR) collaborative teams that will employ the Affinity Research Group (ARG) model (Gates et al., 2009) to ensure effective communication and productive teamwork. Expected impacts will result from the PIR collaborative teams’ focus on capacity building in research, pedagogy, and practice, with specific impacts relating to conservation and development impact as a result of improved conservation campaigns.

My proposal is part of this larger project, which will be developed in partnership with the United States Agency for International Development in Indonesia over the next three years. I am serving as the project director, and will be developing PIR teams in collaboration with UTEP, UNMUL, and Rare. My PIR team research will focus specifically on community development in



relationship to conservation campaigns. Other PIR team research topics will be proposed in a separate research application.

Abstract

Ecosystem Services is defined as a function of ecosystems people benefits and which value cannot be calculated through the market. North Toraja region is located in the mountainous area of the SA’DAN watershed where the broad scale agriculture and aquaculture exists in the downstream basin. The land-use in upper catchment has an important role on the stable water supply for the whole watershed and that is defined by the local livelihoods by inhabitants. So, livelihood sustainability in the upper catchment is inseparable from the socioeconomic infrastructure development in the whole watershed area.

Mountain slope in upper catchment of SA’DAN watershed is utilized for commodity crop cultivation. And there, the small scale slope failure is considered to be caused by the artificial



effects. While the intensive soil utilization have been observed on the mountainous slope in northern part where utilized for the Arabica coffee cultivation field. It depends on the difference of the economic incentives.

However, Toraja region have a distinctive cultural heterogeneity with the adjacent area because of the topographical separation. And it is well shown in the continuous traditional laws about land allocation and usage. Despite of the inefficiency of agricultural productivity or labor productivity, local villagers still conform to it. There I built the hypothesis that the traditional land utilization is taking on a role to manage the natural resource sustainably. I would like to verify the traditional land-use management method by the watershed scale.

This research states the study subject as below, “what kind of land-use management in upper catchment is suited for the stable water supply to whole watershed and the sustainable local livelihood?” This research aims to verify the effect of land-use change on the watershed management by the computational simulating of land-use change, considering the human’s incentives on land-use management including the traditional laws.

Abstract

The topic of the proposed research is the response of rural Indonesian societies to new resource economies and the rational management of the environment. It focuses on the perceptions and knowledge of society and nature among people whose cultural space is transformed by commercial agriculture and nature conservation. The study uses the approaches of human ecology and environmental history to find out how local peoples respond to new resource regimes and interventions in their physical environment, what forms of environmental classification and knowledge arise from such responses, and what kinds of sociocultural space are created in the process.

The ethnographic focus of the proposed research is the area surrounding the Kapuas River in West Kalimantan. Research will take place in the administrative districts of Sanggau, Sekadau, Sintang, Melawi and Kapuas Hulu, with a focus on the Sekadau and Ketungau Rivers in Sekadau and Sintang. The research aims at producing comparative case studies of recent population movements related to rubber cultivation, industrial agriculture, forest cutting and the social geography focused on roads. This fieldwork is part of a larger comparative project entitled “Environment, land conversion and the global resource economy”. The comparison is based on cases in Indonesia, Papua-New Guinea, Madagascar and Brazil. The research group involved in this project aims at publishing the research results in a joint monographic study and refereed articles in international scientific journals.

Abstract

With estimated greenhouse gas emissions of 2.0 G tons in 2005, Indonesia’s emissions is accounting for about 5global emissions(DNPI 2010). Indonesia’s emissions are expected to rise to almost 3.2 G tons CO2 by 2020 under a business-as-usual scenario. However, it has been reported to reduce emissions can be 18 billiontons CO2 (approximately 80n 2030 by the REDD+（REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation)-plus（activities, significant mitigation potential and cost-effectiveness is expected. Especially, suppression of GHG emissions from peat forests have a very large mitigation potential, Murdiyarso et al. 2010 its efforts have become an urgent matter.

In Central Kalimantan province, although the vast peat forests are still widespread, conversion to oil palm garden stemming from high oil prices is progressing from peat forests conversion to agricultural land from peat forests due to an increase of migrants from Java. We (University of Parankaraya and Waseda University) conduct a feasibility study of REDD+ in this area, we have aimed to develop a methodology REDD+ that target the peat land. More specifically, the introduction of land and forest management system by the participatory project of local people, system for timber production in Melaleuca (Melaleuca leucadendron) forests that grow around the village was considered to be effective as anti-deforestation and forest degradation, remote sensing using satellite imagery, and we schedule to proceed to build a system for calculating the amount of GHG emission reduction and absorption through the implementation of REDD+. In that case, many studies have pointed out that

• deforestationandforestdegradationarecloselyrelatedtosocialandeconomicconditionsof the region

• for effective implementation of REDD+, the introduction of economic incentives orknowledge of forestry and forestry technology is not enough（Angelsen et al. 2009（.

In addition, while local people has been one of a main stakeholder of deforestation and forest degradation, they are also targeted as a stakeholder of forest management activities in the future. Therefore, When performing activities related to REDD+, It is necessary to advance capacity building of each relevant organization. So, in this survey, I will conduct a socio-economic survey in the target areas of REDD+ for explore priorities that capacity building in preparation REDD+ in the preparatory stage REDD+.



The survey will take the form of questionnaires to local people and interviews to understand the capacity building exercises required for villagers to participate in the forest-protection activitiesundertaken at each residential unit.

Abstract

A first research objective is to analyze long-term drivers of poverty and vulnerability in transformed forested landscapes in Indonesia. The second aim is to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) implications of production and consumption decisions of households as well as to analyze the determinants of these emissions on the production and consumption side. Finally, possible trade-offs between poverty reduction and the carbon intensity of land use, production and consumption decisions of households are identified and solutions to minimize this trade-off developed.




To analyze drivers of long-term poverty and vulnerability in transformed forested landscapes, this project uses long-term panel analyses. Three waves of a panel household income survey (2001, 2004, 2006) as well as two waves of an expenditure survey (2003, 2007) from Sulawesi are already available for further analyses; they contain some 260 households and have detailed agricultural production modules, income and expenditure modules, and contain a large amount of demographic and institutional details that allow careful assessment of the drivers of land use and poverty dynamics, controlling for many household characteristics as well as fixed effects. It is proposed that a fourth wave of a combined income and expenditure survey will be collected of the 260 households in Sulawesi to extend the dynamic analysis of land use change, poverty, and vulnerability. Panel data are extremely rare in developing countries and such detailed and long-term panel data on land use, incomes, and expenditures would help provide unique insights into these issues.

Based on these existing panel surveys and the proposed further wave of the income and expenditure panel survey in Sulawesi, the long-term drivers of poverty will be assessed using advanced panel econometric methods. In particular, we will identify the determinants of long-term poverty as well as poverty transitions using panel regressions that control for household fixed effects as well as initial conditions In addition, the panel surveys will be used to study the vulnerability to poverty and its determinants using some of the approaches to vulnerability measurement mentioned above. The role of land use decisions (in particular various cash crops but also rainforest products and non-farm incomes) on chronic poverty, risk, and vulnerability will be a particular focus of analysis. The impact of government policies (e g infrastructure, land titling programs, extensions services, and forest protection policies) in affecting poverty and vulnerability will also be considered. Moreover, the heterogeneity of production and consumption decisions and their GHG emissions will be modeled with this data. Initially, the emission implications on the production side will be based on existing literature on the carbon footprint of certain crops and technologies. In a second step, we will then use regression methods to identify the drivers of the carbon footprints. On the consumption side household expenditure modules will be analyzed to study the determinants of particular GHG-mtensive choices (esp. regarding energy use, meat consumption and transport options). Regression models will be used to estimate the determinants of these carbon footprints.

Abstract

Despite the well-publicized emotional, financial, and physical risks, each year millions of Indonesian women travel across the world in search of work that promises wages high enough to support families back home. The risks are compounded by an absence of effective legal protections and inadequate enforcement mechanisms for international labor agreements.Furthermore, the only domestic legal protection for migrant workers, Indonesian Law 39/2004 Regarding the Placement and Protection of Migrant Workers Abroad (hereafter referred to as Law 39/2004), has been widely criticized for failing to guarantee sufficient protections for workers’ rights, as well for providing inadequate provisions for pre-migration training. In light of these apparent systemic failures, as well as the ongoing abuse that occurs before women even leave Indonesia, the question of how to guard against the abuse of migrant women workers has become increasingly urgent. My dissertation asks how women utilize informal and nonformal educational programs and networks, including friends, family, and Indonesian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), to prepare for international migration. In addition, my dissertation will examine how Indonesian NGOs are working with migrant workers to provide rights education and advocate for policy changes.

My dissertation research is based in Salatiga, Central Java and centers on in-depth interviews with migrant women and staff of NGO-sponsored education programs. As a primary sending area for Indonesian migrant workers, Central Java offers a meaningful context in which to explore how communities that have been significantly impacted by migration are reacting to the educational needs such a shift creates. My in-depth fieldwork in Salatiga will be coupled with interviews of leaders of national-level, advocacy-oriented NGOs. By publicizing accounts of abuse, raising awareness of the issues facing migrant workers, and advocating for improved policies governing the rights of migrant workers, these NGOs represent a vocal element of public discourse surrounding migrant worker rights.

Abstract

The Science Field Schools (SFSs) approach is a response to the lack of institutionalisation of previous agricultural extension services such as the Integrated Pest Management - Farmer Field Schools (IPM-FFS) and the Climate Field Schools (CFSs) in Indonesia. Farmers are lagging behind in the adaptation to among others: the changing climate. The SFSs advocate a science-based, bottom-up approach which centres on participatory research, in other words the co-production of knowledge. This increase in knowledge by both the scientists and farmers will help scientists direct their applied research more effectively and increase the farmers adaptive capacity towards the changing climate (Stigter & Winarto, 2012; Yunita T Winarto & Stigter, 2011).

The SFSs can be thus seen as an adaptive strategy for both the farmers and the scientists alike. A SFS is an artificially created space, in other words a form of social technology, that facilitates social organisation around a key set of activities: the monthly meetings and the data collection by both farmers and scientists. This research aims to understand how this social organisation in and around the SFSs is manifesting itself, and how the social organisation and activities are influencing the practices of the actors involved. It will also look into how the framing of the problems the farmers are facing has influenced how the SFS is being implemented and the interactions between the different actors.



Problem Statement

The Science Field Shops (SFSs) are a new approach to agricultural extension services, using participatory learning methods to increase the rural response to climate change. The science based, bottom-up approach being advocated aims to increase adaptive capacity of the smallholder farmers and increase the efficacy of the applied research by scientists. What is sometimes forgotten in researching participatory approaches is the role of the scientists and policymakers within the project. This research aims to understand how both the scientists and farmers are participating in the co-production of knowledge and adapting their practices, as well as looking into how framing by policymakers is influencing the implementation of the SFS approach.

Abstract

Indonesia is experiencing new development by advancement of industrial estate by foreign capital such as the Japanese. They are at the center of production and supply of all the goods demanded by the customers in Indonesia, such as cars and motorcycles. Indonesia is considered one of the main market for the Japanese companies as well as Japanese investment being important for Indonesian economy. There are 229 industrial estates in the nation, with sixteen of it being the massive-sized industrial estate with more than a thousand hectors. Among the sixteen, there are tenmassive-sized industrial estate in Java. Just as last year’s period of research, I have conducted a research in a Japanese capital industrial estate that advanced in 1993 and started business in 1995. It is among the largest and has much influence to the society, since the industrial estate is very much close to the villages nearby. In other industrial estate, that is not the case. Thus I have chosen the location that way. And the village I have chosen is the village with the most factories inside the village,with forty-four and counting. Fact that the companies in the industrial estate is located very close, even located inside the village, has caused complicated complexion in their relationship.

In the first section of result and discussion, I will observe the geographical overview of Karawang and the research village. This is not just a description, but more as an analysis of the location, since the geographical aspect in this case is as important as other aspect. I have travelled and walked through the areas in Karawang from north to south, and with some of the advices I earned at each places, and with advice from Dr.Yumio Sakurai, former professor of University of Tokyo, I have been able to describe the research location.

In the second section of result and discussion, we will look upon the changes of the land owning situation in the village, to understand the changes in the village economy has started from there right before when the industrial estate has advanced. On the third and last section of result and discussion, we will observe that the changes in land ownership has inevitably changed the way in village people work currently. Each work will be briefly examined and Iwill try to dictate the chances of their future means of sustaining their livings. These are followed up the conclusion which is essential the same sentences as in each section with some crucial points included. I will further have each research more in detail with more numbers of interviews if given the chance to extend the research period.

Abstract

LATAR BELAKANG PERMASALAHAN: Sulitnya menentuikan target hasil produksi yang tepat salah satunya disebabkan oleh sistem kerja alat-alat mekanis yang tidak efisien, misalnya adanya waktu yang hilang percuma karena kondisi alat-alat angkut yang mesti menunggu (antri), adanya kondisi peralatan yang rusak menunggu perbaikan dan kondisi-kondisi lainnya yang tidak terduga. Masih rendahnya kemampuan produksi alat mekanis saat ini disebabkan berkurangnya waktu kerja efektif, sehingga efesiensi kerja alat menurun yang ditimbulkan oleh adanya waktu hambatan pada saat jam kerja dan juga belum baiknya sistem penjadwalan yang dibuat. Untuk mengatasi hal ini maka perlu diadakan penjadwalan pelayanan keberangkatan dan kedatangan agar alat muat dan alat angkut dapat bekerja secara efektif. Maka untuk mengetahui sejauh mana kondisi diatas dapat teratasi maka dilakukan suatu analisa yang tepat dan akurat yakni salah satunya dengan menggunakan Metode Antrian.



Maksud dan Tujuan Penelitian

Maksud penelitian ini ialah untuk mengindentifikasi penyebab adanya alat muat dan alat angkut yang menunggu dan tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan waktu kerja efektif dari alat-alat mekanis dengan cara melakukan penilaian terhadap kemampuan produksi alat mekanis dari masing-masing rangkaian kerja yang telah ditetapkan dalam rangka untuk memenuhi sasaran produksi yang diinginkan.

Abstract

The aim of the project is to investigate the systematic relationships and biogeographical patterns of birds across the transition zone (Wallacea) between Asia and Australia. To do this it is necessary to include taxa from both Australia, mainland Asia and the Indonesian islands. We already have good access to bird-mammal samples from Australia and Asia but many Indonesian taxa have not been included in a broader phylogenetic context and particularly samples from the Moluccan islands have been very difficult to access. To achieve this kind of taxon sampling we have established a collaborative effort between the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen, Denmark, the Zoological Museum of Bogor, Indonesia and Birdlife Indonesia. The main aim will be to catch birds and mammals and collect blood and tissue samples for DNA work in the Moluccan Islands. Indonesia harbours a large amount of endemic species and subspecies that have a great interest in terms of conservation. The proposed fieldwork will no doubt provide knowledge that will improve the understanding of speciation and dispersal patterns and thus our work will also have a direct impact on conservation decisions. In fact, systematics and taxonomy are important tools for correctly identifying conservation needs. Thus, the collaboration could be of great interest and importance for conserving the Indonesian avifauna. We also high-light that other than bird/mammal watching tours, which focus on finding the endemic species of the islands as efficiently as possible rather than



comprehensively surveying the avifauna, little recent ornithological work has occurred in the region apart from a survey in the mid 1990ies. Contrary to the aforementioned survey, however, the proposed collecting scheme will use nets and spring-traps to trap birds and mammals. This may be useful for obtaining bird and mammal species that otherwise remain undetected and there is certainly a good chance of discovering hitherto unknown bird and mammal species. To summarize, the aims will be, (1) museum based collecting work, with the aim of preserving bird and mammal skins for future reference and to preserve blood or tissue for molecular work, (2) investigate the avifauna in Moluccan islands (Buru and Seram so far) and perhaps discover new species or subspecies, (3) carry out molecular work to investigate systematic relationships and to investigate biogeographical patterns within the Moluccas but also on a broader scale across the whole Indo-Pacific.

Description of study field

The focus area of research will be the Moluccas. In January/February 2011 we carried out field work in Buru. This research permit application concerns our next field work in January-March 2012 in Seram. The main area of our field efforts will be in and around Manusela National Park in Central Seram. Our collecting scheme focused on the Manusela National Park where we collected during 19 days at 3 study sites from 0 m. a.s.l. to 1900 m. a.s.l.

Research material or object to be investigated

The focus of the expedition was to collect birds and mammals with a particular emphasis on passerine birds and rodents.

Research approach methods

In the field we used mist-nets and spring traps to catch birds and mammals. Bird and Mammal skins were prepared in the field and we also took blood samples for DNA work. We managed 19 field days in themountain area withinManuselanational park in Seram.

Abstract

Of humans’ closest relatives, only one primate - the nocturnal slow Ioris (Nycticebus) - is purportedly venomous. Despite reports of this extraordinary phenomenon 40 years ago, virtually nothing is known about how slow lorises use venom. The same time, all slow lorises are globally threatened. The Endangered Javan slow Ioris (Nycticebus javanicus) is furthermore included in the Top 25 Most Endangered Primates of the World. While habitat loss is important in these assessments, a major threat to slow lorises is the trade for pets and traditional medicine. The aims of the proposed, 1.5 year long study, are to reveal the ecological context and use of venom in wild and released slow lorises, and to assess the conservation status of slow lorises by conducting surveys in different forest regions of Indonesia, on markets and by talking to ex-hunters. Ten slow lorises will be observed in Mt. Salak National Park and Garut, Java, via radio-tracking in order to investigate general ecology and behaviour. Special attention will be given to feeding behaviour, predator-related behaviour, parent-offspring behaviour, chemical behaviour and anointing. Observation or ranging and space requirements will support estimates of abundance and status. Abundance and presence of slow lorises throughout Indonesia will be done by transects and using distance sampling. Furthermore, the effect of forest quality and accessibility for hunters on the abundance of slow lorises in Mt. Salak National Park will be investigated by placing transects into forest areas that differ in their degree of disturbance and their distance from human settlement, roads and forest paths. Monthly “surveys on markets and other retail areas will be done to assess which wild mammals species (especially nocturnal



mammals and primates) are traded, numbers of animals and prizes. Finally, local ex-hunters will be approached and interviewed about the occurrence of slow lorises and their ecology and behaviour in respect to the use of venom. Two or three teams including Indonesian field staff will be employed and trained. Results will be disseminated to local rescue and education centres, Indonesian authorities and the international primatology and conservation community. The PhD student’s supervisor Dr. K-Anne Isola Nekaris has 15 years experience in studying nocturnal primates which will ensure the quality of the project.

Abstract

Peat swamp forests in Soutiicast Asia are being lost at unprecedented rates largely due to the expansion of oil palm and industrial tree plantations. Recent studies revealed that the blackwaters of these forests harbor a wealth of endemic fish species. Unfortunately, little is known about the ecology of blackwater fish and other aquatic biodiversity assemblages (e.g., macroinvertebrates), thus hindering technical inputs for regional and local conservation planning. The aim of this study is to answer the following questions: 1. How does forest conversion for Acacia plantations affect fish and macroinvertebrate richness and community structure in blackwater streams, and 2. Are existing mitigation strategies effective in conserving fish and macroinvertebrate biodiversity in blackwater and cicarwater streams? To answer these questions, the research will be conducted in the PT Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper concession in Riau Province, Sumatra, as well as in the PT Unggul Lestari concession in Kalimantan Tengah Province, Kalimantan. This study represents the first attempt to understand the impacts of land use change on the unique fish biodiversity of peat swamp forests. The work on mitigating the impact of plantation agriculture will also help to inform policy aimed towards preserving biodiversity while fulfilling concomitant human development goals.

Abstract

A central theme in evolutionary biology is the understanding of the processes that contribute to the origin and maintenance of biodiversity. The diversity of recent species is not equally distributed among taxonomic groups and across the globe - a small number of clades accounts for a large part of the world’s diversity and a number of relatively small areas with high levels of endemism are populated by unusually large numbers of species. These biodiversity hotspots comprise important systems for investigating the processes of evolutionary diversification; a prerequisite to document, explain, and conserve the diversity of life we observe today. The Southeast Asian peat swamp forests (PSF), found in the Sundaland biodiversity hotspot, are waterlogged forests that grow on a layer of dead plant material. Although PSF are one of the most threatened ecosystem, virtually nothing is known about the patterns and processes of evolutionary diversification of its endemic fauna and flora. PSF are characterized by a unique, vastly stenotopic freshwater fish community, which is adapted to highly acidic (pH as low as 3) black waters and comprises many miniature taxa and narrow range endemics many of which have only been discovered in recent years. We will use a multigene, molecular systematic approach to investigate the biogeography, phylogeography and demographic history of selected stenotopic PSF fish clades. Our project will for the first time provide an evolutionary perspective to global PSF conservation efforts.

Abstract

Tomistoma schlegelii is one of the largest (4-5 m) extant crocodilians, however due to its secretive lifestyle and cryptic colouration many aspects of the basic ecology and behaviour of this species still remain undocumented (Stuebing et al. 2006). The main natural habitat of Tomistoma is peat swamp forest, and adjacent wetlands (Bezuijen et al. 2001, Stuebing et al. 2006). Drainage of wetlands, conversion into agricultural land, illegal logging and forest fires have led to habitat loss and fragmentation of these natural habitats, resulting in serious threats to the long-term survival of the species (Chokkalingam et al. 2005, Auliya et al. 2006, Stuebing et al. 2006). Currently there is no global population estimate for Tomistoma, and their distribution is limited to Indonesia (Bast Sumatra, West Java and Kalimantan), Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak) and Brunei. The species appears to be extinct in Thailand (Stuebing et al. 2006, M. Bezuijen, pers. comm.).



Tomistoma schlegelii is classified as ‘Endangered’ in the IUCN Red List. The species is also listed under CITES Appendix I, Appendix A of the European Union Endangered Species Act and protected by the US Endangered Species Act and Indonesian and Malaysian laws.

Population studies to date (Muin and Ramono, 1994, Bezuijen et al. 1997, 2002, 2004, Kurniati et al. 2005, Auliya et al. 2006, Cox, 2006) have mainly provided data on the population locations, sizes of the few individuals caught, and some information on the location and season of nesting. However, little is still known about the basic ecology and behaviour of the species, especially its diet, which could provide better understanding of the habitat use and show any possible effects this factor may have on the present and future conservation status of the species. The only account of Tomistoma diet to date was provided by Bezuijen et al. (1997) who reported that despite its moderate physical similarity to the fish-eating Indian Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus), Tomistoma in Sumatra have been found to have a much broader diet including relatively large mammals, reptiles and birds as well as small invertebrates. Anecdotal reports of Tomistoma preying on swimming primates also seem to suggest the species may be an opportunistic and generalist feeder (Yeager, 1991, Rachmawan and Brend, 2009). In spite of that, the species seems to pose a relatively small threat to humans, and reported attacks are extremely rare (Kurniati, 1998, Rachmawan and Brend, 2009). The diet of juvenile T. schlegelii in the wild is largely unknown, and based on the stomach contents of three individuals captured in Sumatra Bezuijen (2001) suspects their diet to consist mainly of small aquatic invertebrates and fish.

Little is known about the reproductive biology of Tomistoma and almost ail the information has been gathered through observation of captive animals. Both sexes reach sexual maturity at approximately 20 years of age (at length about 3 m for females and 4 m for males) and mating can sometimes be observed in captivity (Trutnau and Sommerlad, 2006). Captive females lay 20-60 eggs in mound nests made from sand and plant materials (Youngprapakron, pers. comm.). Tomistoma eggs are the largest of any crocodilian species, usually 10 cm long and 7.5 cm wide, with the incubation period of 70 - 90 days (Trutnau and Sommerlad, 2006). In the wild, very few Tomistoma nests have been documented (Bezuijen et al. 1997, 2001, 2002, 2004) and of those the majority have been described as dry vegetation mounds (about 2 m wide and 0-5 m high) built under trees near water. Protective behaviour of the female around the nest has on one occasion been observed in the wild (Trutnau and Sommerlad, 2006). However, crocodile eggs, used in traditional medicine, are still consumed by local people in Mesangat area. So far nothing has been reported about the care for young, hatchling size at birth and growth of young in the wild.

The Lower Mahakam river area in East Kalimantan contains a series of large seasonal lakes, and hundreds of smaller ones, forming a wetland exceeding half a million hectares (Chokkalingam et al. 2005). This includes Mesangat Lake, located at N 00°31’06” E 116*41’47” at



elevation of 20m asl, or less. The lake is connected to several small river inflows and backflows from both the Kelinjau and Kedang Kepala Rivers. The lake expands into a large freshwater swamp during the wet season, with its surface covered by floating natural as well as exotic vegetation. Mesangat is home to populations of two freshwater crocodilians: T. schlegelii and Crocodylus siamensis, classified in the IUCN Red List as ‘Endangered’ and ‘Critically Endangered’ respectively. The area, owned by an oil palm company, is under threat from encroaching oil palm plantations (R. Stuebing, pers. comm.).

This research arises from the need for comprehensive, quantitative studies on Tomistoma biology and ecology, as well as to resolve uncertainties surrounding the species’ abundance and status, derived from preliminary short-term surveys in Mesangat Lake and the Mahakam River region (Muin and Ramono, 1994, Kurniati et al. 2005, Indraswari and Staniewicz, 2009). Identification of key habitats used by the crocodiles in Mesangat is necessary for planning a successful conservation management programme for the area.

Objectives

The main goal of the project is to examine habitat preferences, home range/movements and feeding ecology of a Tomistoma schlegelii population within its natural habitat in the Mesangat Lake and adjacent swampland. Such information is indispensable for the long-term conservation management of the species in balance with the local plantations.

Specific aims:

• Collect basic information on the population size, structure and possible seasonalmovements of Tomistoma and investigate their causes and the possible importance of the Mesangat population to the overall ecology of the area;

• DeterminethehabitatpreferencesofT.schlegeliianMesangatLakeandpossiblespaceoniche partitioning with C. siamensis;

• Observeandanalyse thecomponents/targetanimalsof thedietofwildTomistoma, todetermine whether the species is an opportunistic forager, and if so, whether the animals are obligate (as a result of low density, unpredictable prey availability), facultative or seasonal opportunists;

Abstract

An action plan for Asian primates has not been issued by the. IUCN Primate Specialist groups since 1987. However, East Asian primates were reassessed for the IUCN Red List in 2006. The top four threats to primate populations were habitat loss and fragmentation, habitat degradation, illegal trade, and hunting. Habitat loss, illegal trade, and within the interior of Borneo, hunting, are considered the top threats to primates. Priority actions needed are the completion of status reviews; including population census and monitoring were essential for the protection of primates. This project will therefore contribute to the ongoing assessment of primate populations in the wild. The IUCN Regional Action Plan for Fields (2009) highlighted the need for more studies in Indonesian Borneo to address the same issues as above for the cats. The information collected on the main predators and frugivores at the same time in the same study site will provide unique information about the population status and threats to these large mammals.

(W.8) The captive husbandry and reproduction of the Celebes babirusa (Babyrousa celebensis) at Bali Zoo

Tujuan Penelitian : Meningkatkan manajemen pengembangbiakan serta kesejahteraan babirusa di Indonesia



Daerah Penelitian : Bali (Kebun Binatang Bali)

Mitra Kerja : I. DW. Gede Agung Atmaja- Kebun Binatang Bali

Abstract

The remarkable of endemic mammalian species in Sulawesi is the babirusas {Babyrousa spp.). They are members of the family Suidae, having unique morphological characters their upper canines that penetrate the skin of the snout and curve toward the forehead. Though it is an enactment of the Indonesian wildlife hw in 1931, the conservation status for babirusa is alarming, because of combinations of the following factors: low level of enforcement of control; high levels of hunting or trapping pressures; habitat degradation and their small litter size. As the result, species have been included on Appendix I of CITES since 1982.

Therefore, it is obvious that both the habitat conservation of babirusa and the captive breeding in the zoo are essential for the bng-term survivability of the species. Actually, efforts have been made by some Indonesian zoos to breed the Celebes babirusa. In December 2004, it was the first trial in Bali to start conservation breeding program of Celebes babirusa by the bilateral work of Babirusa Foundation (Yayasan Babi Riisa) and Surabaya Zoo (Kebun Binatang Surabaya) at the Babirusa Park in Desa Lodtunduh, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabpaten Gianyar, Bali. As the result of this breeding program in Ubud for 5 years, 2 pairs of Celebes babirus produced 7 individuals successfully. After this program, all 9 living individuals of babirusa in Ubud were transferred to 2 zoos in Bali, that is, Bali Zoo (Kebun Binatang Bali) and Bali Safari &Marine Park. At Bali Zoo, 2 pairs of Celebes babirusa have been maintained since April 2010.

Objective and Concept

Objective of this project is to improve conservation breeding management and animal welfare ofthe Celebes babirusa within Indonesia. Additionally, it is to make better solutions for bng-termsurvival of the captive populatbn of babirusa, maintaining the genetic variability.Based on the spirit of wildlife conservatory I will comply with Indonesian wildlife laws duringtin’s



research, that is, I will not collect any bblogical samples from the Cefebes babirusa without anypermissbn.

Methodology

First, cooperatbn of the persons concerned including veterinarians of the zoo, animal keepers and nutritionists, the track record ofdaily management at Bali Zoo will be investigated, and will be described in detailTo the next, I will find out factors that reduce animal welfare, such as disease, parasitism, and heat in the captive environment. And also, I will suggest better husbandry and enclosures meeting the natural physical, social, behavioral and emotional needs of the Cebbes babirusa in order to mentally and physically stimulate captive animals.

Furthermore, behavior of Cefebes babirusa at Bali Zoo before and after the improvement of enebsures will be analyzed.

For enhancing the genetic variability of the captive Celebes babirusa, the reproductbn of Cefebes babirusa will be investigated at Indonesian zoos during tliis research perbd, if it is possible.

Abstract

With nearly 1200 species, inland waters of the Indonesian archipelago illustrate the challenges of the conservation of fish resources. Indonesia has experienced considerable economic development during the last 15 years that has been accompanied by major environmental changes. At the global level, Indonesia has become the largest exporter of palm oil at the cost of a massive deforestation that reached the record of 2.4 million hectares per year. Thus, most of the lowland forests of Sumatra and Borneo have been converted into oil palm plantation. Deforestation has led to the degradation and loss of many freshwater ecosystems and led to the extinction of many species tightly linked to these habitats, some with high patrimonial and/or commercial value. It is now generally acknowledged that species diversity in ecosystems is the support of ecosystem services such as productivity, resilience and stability, services whose viability is directly related to the number of species in communities. In a global context of erosion of biological resources, the inventory of the biodiversity inhabiting the Indonesian inland freshwaters has become a priority for the management of natural resource and fisheries over the last decade.

The characterization of species diversity is a prerequisite for the study of the dynamic of community assembly and the functional support of ecosystem services. The development of standardized molecular tools for identifying species in the “DNA-barcoding” project laid the foundation for streamlining the inventory of biodiversity and finally giving access to ecosystem-based approach for identifications. The DNA-barcoding approach based on the use of a standard fragment of mitochondrial DNA, the gene for cytochrome oxidase I (COI, 650 bp), allows a rapid assessment of the laxonomic diversity of a region. Because of their economic importance, a global campaign to barcode all fishes was launched in 2005. In this context, the objectives for an Indonesian barcoding initiative are:

1) Buildinga reference libraryofmitochondrialCOIgene foralldescribed freshwaterfishspecies.



2) SpeedinguptheinventoryoftheIndonesianfreshwaterfishspeciesthroughlarge-scalesequencing for the discover)’ of new species.

3) Fosteringtheapplicationofthelibraryofreferenceforthemanagementoficlithvologicalresources.

This barcoding initiative will be directed towards an ecosystem-based approach and focused on the most endangered ecosystems of the archipelago such as the ‘black water’ ecosystems associated with the remnant patches of primary forest or the ‘clear water’ ecosystems from the karstic shields.

Abstract

In the Bukit Tiga puluh forest, Sumatra (Indonesia), about 4000 people live in the immediate vicinity to elephants. Crop raiding by elephants occur frequently and as a result elephants have been poisoned by upset locals. During the last year(2009), an increasing number of serious incident were recorded in which elephants have entered small settlements, destroyed homes and even killed and injured people. Against this background it is likely that human-elephant conflicts (HEC) will escalate in the near future, if nothing changes. The project goals address these issues, as they aim at (a) developing and testing site-specific conflict mitigation techniques and strategies and (b) promoting and supporting their implementation. During the first phase (year 2010) outlined in this proposal, a comprehensive study on HEC will be conducted to provide the necessary in-depth understanding of HEC in order to elaborate an adequate roadmap to achieve the project goals in an effective and cost-efficient manner. Two HEC investigation teams will be established in order to conduct a questionnaire survey and in addition to thoroughly investigate all HEC incidents. Their main tasks will be to interview household representatives, farmers affected by HEC, agricultural company representatives and local authorities and to assess damages and crop-losses caused by elephants. The identity and age-class of “problem-elephants” will be investigated by measuring dung-sizes and by sampling a portion of dung left behind to later genetically determine the elephant’s genotype and sex. A monitoring system will be established that provides continuously updated information about HEC for police and the forest department in order to enhance the investigation of illegal activities such as the killing of elephants. Weekend-workshops will be held to sensitize the local population to HEC and conservation issues and to introduce and support easy-to-apply conflict mitigation techniques, inter alia, building watchtowers and organizing crop-guarding systems. The expected outcome of phase I will be a decrease in the illegal killing of elephants. This would be achieved by the on-site presence of our investigation teams and the increasing risk of being prosecuted by police and forest department officers. We also expect a decrease in crop raiding and serious HEC incidents, as farmers will be encouraged and supported in applying low-cost crop protection methods and easy-to-apply conflict mitigation techniques developed elsewhere. The data and experience gathered during phase I will allow us to developed powerful site-specific HEC mitigation strategies and techniques, which will be implemented in phase 2 of the project.

Abstract

Oil palm is one of the world most rapidly expanding crops, with the main producer countries being Indonesiaand Malaysia {FAO, 2009}. Demand for oil palm, promoted by food demand mainly in Indiaand China and byexpanding biofuel markets in Europe, will continue to increase {Clay, 2004; Carter, 2007; Corley, 2009).

The ecological impact of oil palm depends crucially on the extent to which its expansion cause deforestation,and on the extent to which it is able to support biodiversity {Fitzherbet et al., 2008}.

The effect on palm oil habitats on wildlife populations urgently needs to be assessed {Donald, 2004; Turner etal., 2008; Fitzherbet et al., 2008}, and environmental sound management practices sorted to ensure theselandscapes have a potential in future wildlife conservation.

It is clear that, to avoid major biodiversity losses, the key issue is the one of deforestation, and appropriatestrategic land-use planning at macro level is mostly needed {Struebig et al., 2010}. However, the effort of theproducer to reduce its ecological impact at the agro-ecosystem level, by improving agricultural practices andland use at the micro level of the estate, must also be commended and supported by more research.

In the framework of ecological intensification and integrated pest management, the issue of biodiversity within and around in the agro-ecosystem is also of main importance for the producer. Indeed, small mammal population outbreaks can cause significant damage to oil palm production {Wood and Liau, 1984; Liau, 1990}. So far, rodent control is generally based on field treatment using rodenticide chemicals (AVKs, etc.) and/or on the re-enforcement of Barn Owl (Tyto alba) populations in the plantation. However, anticoagulant rodenticides, when not applied adequately, can induce indirect intoxication on non target species such as small mammal predators {Berny, 1997}. Moreover, it is also of the oil palm industry interest to



maintain a larger diversity of auxiliary predator species for pest control, keeping in mind that that small mammal population dynamics is generally driven by bottom up food resources and top-down predator community processes mediated by landscape {Lidicker, 2000; Giraudoux, 1997; Lidicker, 1995}.

This research aims to better understand how predation by small mammals (such as small felids, civets, and mongooses) complements predation by barn owls in order to provide more effective natural pest control in oil palm plantations. We will assess dietary variation of both small carnivores and barn owls within and between several oil palm concessions; this will be done from faeces/pellet macro-remains and complementarily from microscopic examination of hairs. We will also investigate spatial distribution of the small carnivores community within the oil palm concession, using stool collection and night spot-sight counts on transects. This will provide an insight into how populations of small mammals that help to control oil palm pests can be maintained and enhanced within the oil palm landscape.

This research will be carried out on several PT SMART oil palm plantations in Sumatra and Bangka, in the framework of a research program in partnership with the University of Franche-Comte (France), SMARTRI (Indonesia), CBGP (France), LIPI (Indonesia) and CIRAD (France).

Abstract

Few studies investigate the role of Indonesia’s dynamic, island biogeographic history on the molecular evolution of its biota. Molecular phylogeography research in Southeast (SE) Asia has lagged behind that of other tropical regions and increasing anthropogenic alteration of natural habitats motivates increased research on natural populations. To investigate the generality of previous work on the molecular phylogeography of birds inSE Asia, we propose further research on two other flying taxa of significant ecological interest: butterflies and flying foxes. We hope to sample multiple individuals from numerous localities throughout Indonesia in order to investigate the dispersal history of fruit bats and the evolution of mimicry in butterflies. At least two mitochondrial and four nuclear genes will be sequenced from all specimens, and these genetic data will be used to infer the evolutionary history of the taxa over a variety of time scales using a variety of novel, recently-developed analytical methods. Our results will be published in internationalJournals co-authored by all participating American and Indonesian collaborators, geo-referenced locality data from our field work will be made available on GBIF, and specimens of rarely-collected species will be deposited in the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriensc.

Still there is an extreme lack of information on its habitat requirements, distribution and population trends. One of the first approaches to quantify its distribution and habitat was a recently published ecological niche model, based on historic specimens and remotely derived layers relating to climate and forest cover (Thorn et a I, 2008). The resulting climatically suitable area was shown to be highly fragmented. There is an urgent need for field validation of this ecological niche model. The aim of the proposed study is to collect new distribution and habitat data to validate the previous model, based on field visits to 12 of the suggested priority areas of the previous study. The data will be collected on presence/absence of the species, as well as on habitat characteristics and levels of disturbance. With the collected data the original ecological niche model will be validated and refined. Furthermore the collected data on within-forest variation will allow conclusions to be drawn on the compatibility of Javan slow loris conservation with sustainable forest use and on forest management.

(W.14) Oxford University expedition to find the Moluccan Woodcock and provide the first comprehensive assessment of its conservation status

Tujuan Penelitian : Melihat status konservasi burung Berkik Maluku (Scolopax roschussenii) yang merupakan burung endemik Maluku


Lama Penelitian : 3(tiga) bulan mulai 19 Juni 2012

Abstract

We propose to travel to the island of Obi, Northern Moluccas, Indonesia to assess the conservation status of the Moluccan Woodcock (Scolopax rochussenif ), a terrestrial shorebird endemic to Wallacea. Despite its distinctive size and appearance, virtually nothing is known about this species, the largest woodcock on earth. Indeed the Moluccan Woodcock is so poorly known that prior to 2010 it had only ever been recorded on eight occasions, the last being in 1982. In March of last year, however, two roding Moluccan Woodcock were unexpectedly observed in the lowlands of Obi Island. This area is under intensive pressure from mining and logging activities, and it is critical that further field studies follow up on this exciting “rediscovery” to assess the conservation status of the Moluccan Woodcock and develop strategies to ensure its future survival. Our international team of experienced ornithologists plans to visit the island of Obi in July and August of 2012 to carry out this much-needed first assessment of the woodcock’s conservation status.

(W.15) Mapping Conservation Landscapes of Irrawaddy Dolphins and Artisanal Fisheries

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan pemetaan bentang konservasi lumba-lumba Irawadi di Asia Tenggara


Lama Penelitian : 3(tiga) bulan mulai 8 Agustus 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Kalimantan Timur (S. Mahakam di Samarinda)

Mitra Kerja : Yayasan Konservasi RASI (Ir. Budiono).

Abstract

Conservation landscapes are the set of factors comprising a conservation issue, and encompass multiple levels: conservation ecology (how human activity overlaps with and impacts organisms and ecosystems), underlying drivers of human activity (including social, cultural, and economic systems), governance structure and potential for conservation implementation, and



previous conservation efforts. Mapping these parameters provides a multi-dimensional picture of research and conservation needs, and potential pathways for solutions. Through my Ph.D. dissertation research, I am mapping the conservation landscapes of Irrawaddy dolphins in Southeast Asia.

Incidental capture, or “bycatch”, in small-scale fisheries poses a significant threat to Irrawaddy dolphin {Orcaella brcvirostris) populations. Due to their proximity to anthropogenic activities and their fragmented distribution, Irrawaddy dolphins are among the small cetaceans that face the greatest risk of population extinction (Smith and Jefferson 2002, Reeves et al. 2003). This species is assessed as “Vulnerable” at the species level on the IUCN Red List, with five assessed populations assessed as “Critically Endangered.” The Irrawaddy dolphins of the Mahakam River in Kalimantan Timur, Indonesia, are one of these Critically Endangered populations.

Small-scale or artisanal fisheries are vital sources of income and food for coastal communities throughout the Irrawaddy dolphin’s range in Southeast Asia. Therefore, the conservation of Irrawaddy dolphins must consider other impacts on the ecosystem in addition to human socioeconomic and cultural systems. To understand the dolphin bycatch problem and develop solutions, we need to collect data on: (1) the ecology of the dolphins, (2) the extent of bycatch, (3) fishing practices, and (4) socioeconomic and cultural aspects of local small-scale fisheries.

I am proposing to do such fieldwork on the Irrawaddy dolphins and small-scale fisheries of the Mahakam River. This research is conducted as part of my Ph.D. dissertation, which includes similar work in three additional sites in Thailand and the Philippines. I will be comparing the ecological and socioeconomic context of Irrawaddy dolphin bycatch across my field sites, and will also compare the previous and ongoing research and conservation efforts in each site. In Kalimantan, I will be working in conjunction with Dr. Danielle Kreb and Budiono, from the non-government organization Yayasan Konservasi Rare Aquatic Species of Indonesia (Y.K. RASI)

Methods

I will work with local field assistants to collect data with field survey and interviewmethods.

Ecological methods: I am using line-transect surveys and photo-identification to assess dolphin population trends, spatial distribution, and social structure. I am concurrently collecting data on the density and distribution of human activities in dolphin habitat. These surveys will focus on key habitat areas of the dolphins in the Mahakam River, as previously identified by Dr. Danielle Kreb in her research.



Interviews: I will be conducting three kinds of interviews. All will be conducted in Bahasa Indonesia, with my field assistants acting as interpreters and interviewers.

a) Rapid Bycatch and Socioeconomic Assessment household surveys: Using astructured questionnaire, my field assistants and I will interview fishersaboutreports of dolphinmortality, trends in fish catch, perceived health of theecosystem, perceptions ofconservation,andtiestofishing.

b) Local Ecological Knowledge household surveys: This structuredquestionnaire is focused on collected information from fishers about dolphinecology, behavior, and history,including how the population and distributionof dolphins has changed over previous decades.

c) Key Informant interviews: These more detailed interviews will focus oncollecting backgroundinformationaboutconservationandlocalfisheries;intervieweeswillincludefishers,governmentagencies,localresearchers,andNGOs.

No biological samples will be collected, and no contact will be made with the dolphins. All interview respondents will be informed of the purpose of my study, and I have been granted permission, or Human Subjects Approval, to conduct interviews from my university.

(W.16) Visual census of Napoleon fish, Cheilinus undulatus, in a protected area in Indonesia

Lama Penelitian : 1 (satu) bulan mulai 8 Oktober 2012

Daerah Penelitian : Sulawesi Tenggara (TN Bunaken)

Mitra Kerja : Puslit Oseanografi LIPI (Dra. Sasanti Retno Suharti, M.Sc.)



Abstract

Objectives:To determine density and size distribution of Napoleon fish in a protected area in Indonesia

Methods:The Napoleon fish is a large, wide-ranging and relatively rare reef fish which is listed as threatened on the IUCN Red List and is on Appendix II of CITES. It is widely considered to be conservation-dependent and Indonesia has been active in protecting it under CITES through the implementation of a sustainable export quota. The works will be conducted in collaboration with Ms Santi Suharti of LIPI with whom I have collaborated and co-published before.

One of the only means available to assess the status of this species in the wild is by underwater visual census techniques. Several such surveys have now been conducted in Indonesia and, following several years of sustainable management by Indonesia, it is valuable to continue surveys of the species to monitor its status. Because standard visual census techniques are not easy to apply to study this species, an alternative method is used using a GPS (Global Positioning System) to establish transects (Colin in Sadovy 2005). Data from the GPS method were incorporated into a sustainable catch model for this species by FAO (Sadovy et al. 2007).

This method is particularly suited to assessing abundance of uncommon and wide-ranging species, such as C undulatus. Even in relatively undisturbed regions, HHW are among the less common of reef fishes, hence conventional underwater visual survey (UVC) techniques (typically 50 or 150 m long transects) are not really feasible to document the abundance of their because of the large distances that need to be covered to get scientifically representative samples. To be able to survey the amount of area needed to gain a definitive idea of the occurrence and abundance of HHW, distance and areas one order of magnitude or more must be surveyed compared to conventional techniques.

The GPS survey method uses a “position logging” GPS receiver in a water proof floating housing which is towed on the surface by the observer. It can be used snorkeling (towed behind the swimmer) or SCUBA diving (GPS float deployed from diver reel). The GPS is set to log its position every 30 seconds, allowing an accurate record of the track surveyed after downloading. The observer carries a waterproof watch synchronized to the second with the time displayed by the GPS receiver. Fish within a predetermined distance either side of the swim track (i.e. the * swath width’ - up to 10 m in clear water - this can be adjusted according to water conditions and visibility) are surveyed by swimming along a reef feature or in a relatively straight line at a steady pace or drifting with currents. The time any target fish is observed is recorded on an underwater slate, as well as its estimated length. Training is conducted to ensure that swimmers who are moving in parallel can estimate the distance between them well enough for consistent swath width.



When the logged data from the GPS are downloaded using Garmin Map Source World Map software (or other similar for other brands of GPS receivers), this provides a continuous track of the survey swim and, within the accuracy limits of the GPS, a permanent record of the area surveyed, allowing for replication in the future. Using the concurrent time log and the time of fish observations, the position on the track where any fish was observed can be closely (within a few m) determined from the time and position data. The distance (and thereby the area depending on swath width) covered during a given survey is documented and the number offish observed provides a density (fish per unit area) value. The survey track and positions of individual fish along that track can be plotted on habitat maps, satellite images or other backgrounds to provide a visual display offish numbers and dispersal against a habitat image providing insights into the relationship between the fish and the environment.

The GPS Density Survey is a quantitative method for measuring distribution and density of uncommon, wide-ranging reef fishes. Usually, the surveys are conducted along a given reef feature, such as the edge of the reef slope or a given depth contour along a sloping outer reef face because this is the favoured habitat of adult Napoleon fish and it is also the spawning habitat so all adults will visit this habitat at some time. Inshore habitats will also be surveyed for juveniles and sub-adults. Care is taken to ensure that a sufficient distance is swum to collect a representative sample for the species in each location.

This simple, cheap and safe survey method is particularly well suited to the study of large wide-ranging species like the Napoleon fish. The Napoleon fish is a distinctive species and is readily seen in waters of fair to good visibility. The species is wary but stays visible long enough for observers to note. Care it taken not to count fish twice or to include similar-looking species (only two species of Cheilinus are relevant here). In the proposed survey, a subsample of GPS transects will be conducted on both snorkel and SCUBA to compare results for the two techniquest. In many situations, snorkeling is easier, cheaper and safer to use and it is, therefore, important to understand whether the two methods are fully comparable.

Earlier UVC surveys for the species, following the CITES listing in 2004, were conducted in three area types: unfished/protected, medium fishing pressure and high fishing pressure. Bunaken represents a relatively unfished/protected area.

Abstract

There is substantial need for large-scale vertebrate biotic survey work on Java, Bali, in Nusa Tenggara, and in Maluku. The current document is submitted as part of our request for permits to perform biodiversity inventory work in this region. Our plan is to have a team in place for an 8-10-week period (between October 1 and December 15,2012) during which we will sample amphibians and reptiles. Three students will remain in Indonesia for two additional months to sample amphibians and reptiles only on three island groups in Maluku Province: the Kai, Aru, and Tanimbar Islands. We seek permission to conduct herpetological and ornithological transect surveys on the following islands: Java (Jawa Barat), Bali (Bali), Lombok and Sumbawa (Nusa Tenggara Barat), Flores, Adonara, Solor, Lomblen, Pantar, Alor, Atauro, Timor, Savu, and Sumba (NTT). We seek permission to sample amphibians and reptiles only in the Kai, Aru, and Tanimbar Islands (Maluku). Because it is not possible to conduct all molecular work in Indonesia, it is imperative that we be permitted to collect and export genetic samples to our institutions (each sample will be split with an Indonesian Institution as required by law). Our field team will include numerous participants from the United States and Indonesia:

Institutional Affiliations: Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense, University of Indonesia, Bandung Institute of Technology, The University of California, Berkeley, California Academy of Sciences

The biological diversity and biogeography of Nusa Tenggara and Maluku remain poorly known relative to other parts of Southeast Asia. This underestimate of vertebrate diversity,



together with the current conservation crisis indicates that a comprehensive biodiversity assessment for the islands of Nusa Tenggara and select islands in Maluku are critically needed at this time. Our team of Indonesian and American scientists and students would like to provide this service for Indonesia and the larger scientific community. Indeed, we have already initiated this work in collaboration with researchers at LIPI-Cibinong (led by Mumpuni, Awal Riyanto, and Amir Hamidy), the Bandung Institute of Technology (led by Dr. Djoko Iskandar), and the University of Indonesia (led by Drs. Jatna Supriatna and Noviar Andayani).

Research Objectives, Field Schedule, and Management Plan

Our ultimate goals are to contribute to the documentation of the vertebrate diversity of Indonesia, to describe new species, and to study the processes of speciation and biogeography that have generated Indonesia’s magnificent vertebrate diversity. We further aim to provide training and research opportunities for students and MZB staff, who will in turn continue to contribute to the growing knowledge of Indonesia’s biodiversity heritage through their own independent research programs. Members of our team have been working in Indonesia for several years and this fieldwork represents a continuation of our ongoing program. This year, we plan to make small herpetological collections for outgroup sampling purposes in West Java (around Jakarta) and in Bali before heading to Nusa Tenggara and Maluku for our primary fieldwork. Our plan for the trip is to begin in the west on Lombok and work our way eastward through Sumba, Savu, Timor, Wetar, and Tanimbar. Given this schedule, we seek to obtain permission to work in the provinces of Jawa Barat, Bali, Nusa Tenggara Barat, NTT, and Maluku.

Each of our objectives (training, biodiversity discovery, and comparative biogeography) is contingent upon general collecting of vertebrate specimens (amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, but we seek permission only for amphibians and reptiles this year). For additional justification for biodiversity survey work and field sampling, please see our discussion of this topic below.

The samples obtained in this field expedition are critical for an ongoing collaborative study of the comparative biogeography of the Lesser Sunda Chain of islands. The Lesser Sunda Islands comprise one of the most geologically active and complex regions in SE Asia, and as a result contain some of the most complex biogeographic patterns in the world. They form a set of “stepping stones” between Australia and Southeast Asia that act as a 2-way filter for the flora and fauna dispersing among them. These intriguing patterns inspired Alfred Russel Wallace’s creation of the field of biogeography, and theory of evolution by natural selection (independent of Darwin). We are primarily interested in patterns of dispersal and speciation within vertebrates (especially reptiles and amphibians) in the Lesser Sunda Islands. We are using DNA sequence and SNP data to test hypotheses related to colonization patterns, population divergence times, gene flow, current and ancestral effective.population sizes, and modes of



speciation. These genetic data will be analyzed with current Bayesian and Likelihood methods as well as coalescent-based population genetic methods. Genetic markers and large data sets currently exist for species of Draco lizards, Lamprolepis skinks, and Limnonectes fanged frogs, but we plan to broaden the taxonomic scope as we obtain samples and with additional federal extramural funding. We also plan to examine geographic patterns of endemism and species richness in both lowland forests and high elevation cloud forests.

Sampling strategies

We will employ standard sampling strategies for amphibians and reptiles. Amphibian and reptile sampling generally is undertaken manually in the sense that we walk through appropriate habitat, locate animals visually or by sound, and then capture them by hand or with a hand-held implement such as a blowpipe. We also carry rakes and snake sticks with which we can turn surface debris and leaf litter. On this expedition, we will also utilize pitfall arrays.

(W.18) Ants of Komodo Island: Patterns in Distribution and Diversity

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari jenis species semut yang ada dan distribusinya dalam kaitannya dengan jenis vegetasi dan ketinggian


Lama Penelitian : 5 (lima) bulan mulai sejak tanggal 6 Februari 2012

Daerah Penelitian : NTT (P. Sumbawa, TN Komodo di P. Komodo, dan P. Flores); NTB (P. Lombok); Bali dan Jawa Barat (Puslit Biologi LIPI, Cibinong)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to measure ant diversity and the distribution of’invasive’ and non-native ants on small islands within Komodo National Park and surrounding areas. Specifically we focused on the distribution and behavior of the tropical fire ant, Solenopsis getninata, and invasive species that consumes seeds of grasses. Preliminary findings suggest that 5”. geminata co-occurs with human populations on small islands and is capable of expanding into grasslands that are frequently bumed. A separate but related study is looking at aggression between ant species at food resources inside human settlements and in savanna grasslands.

Study sites and methods. From August 2011 - November 2011 a total of four islands were sampled. These islands are Seraya Kecil, Sebayur Besar, Papagarang, and Komodo (Fig. 1). All islands are located inside or near Komodo National Park, located in Nusa Tenggara Timor, west of the large island of Flores. The islands vary in size, burning frequency, human population, and distance from the mainland. Fieldwork began in August 2001 during the dry season and ended in early November when rains began.



To sample savanna ant species, transects of pitfall traps were used to capture ants from burned and unburned savanna on several islands at varying distances from human settlements. Pitfall traps are buried in the ground level with the soil surface and left open for two days. Traps are filled with 20mL of killing and preserving agent. The solution is a mix of 20 percent ethanol, 80 percent water, and a very small amount of detergent to break surface tension and allow ants to sink. Pitfall traps were spaced 10 meters apart in a straight line in open grassland areas thought to be representative of savanna found in the region. An additional two traps were placed at 2-meter intervals in a perpendicular line in the center of transects located near trees. The three traps spaced 2 meters apart in open grassland were paired with a 3-trap transect beneath the nearest tree to assess the influence of savanna trees on ant the community.

Aggression and competition for food sources was measured using tuna baits placed on the ground 10 meters apart on 80-meter transects that extend from within human settlements out into savanna grasslands. A small amount of tuna was placed on plastic cards and monitored for 2 hours. The species and number of individuals of each species were recorded at baits every 30 minutes.

Ants, spiders, and grasshoppers were collected from savanna and from within village settlements for chemical analysis. Stable isotope analysis will be used to assess differences in the diet of seed-eating Solenopsis geminata between savanna and village habitats and wet and dry seasons. Spiders provide a chemical signature for a pure predatory diet and grasshoppers provide the same for a purely herbivorous diet. Samples were dried in the sun over two days and packed in silica to protect them from moisture and rotting.

Provisional results. Dry season samples have been collected and stored in 70 percent ethanol for identification. Results reported here are based on observation only and will be accompanied by statistical support once all identifications have been made and abundance values can be calculated. In general it appears as though diversity is lower on smaller islands than on the larger mainland island of Flores. Sampling in this study wasrestricted to savanna grasslands and we expect to collect approximately 50 species of ants. Ant diversity is higher on larger islands and islands that have greater habitat diversity such as trees scattered in savanna, mangrove forests, and a combination of lowland and hillside grass communities. There are several invasive ant species inhabiting the islands sampled. A preliminary list of invasive ants found includes Anoplolepis gracilipes, Tapinoma melanocephalum, Monommorium destructor, Solenopsis geminata, and Paratrechina longicornis. We expect that this list will include several more invasive species after all identifications have been confirmed.

In behavioral experiments invasive species dominated tuna baits except at locations far from human settlements. The most dominant ant seems to be Monommorium destructor. M. destructor is able to take baits from Solenopsis geminata and retain control in most cases. Most



baits, even when distant from human settlement, were eventually overtaken by invasive species primarily in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. Solenopsis geminata, a Myrmicine species, does not appear to live far from villages. In the dense savanna grasses, Tapinoma melanocephalum, Paratrechina spp. and several species of Monommorium spp. are most abundant and have the ability to dominate baits in the presence of native ant species. In almost all cases native ants were not able to approach the tuna bait or were quickly driven off by high numbers of invasive ants, the most abundant being the Dolichoderines (Tapinoma, Lasius, Paratrechina). Solenopsis geminata were found distant from the village on Seraya Kecil in savanna that had been repeatedly burned exposing bare soil. Usually nest openings occurred under Tamarindus indicus, a common tree species with a large, shady canopy. Interestingly it seems that S. geminata is unable to penetrate dense grasslands even though the grasses may provide shade, a food source from seeds, and lower soil temperature. The limiting factor in their spread is unknown. It seems that they may rely heavily on certain grasses that typically grow only in heavily disturbed savanna. Despite the lack of invasive myrmecine ants, Dolichoderine ants do seem to easily colonize savanna and are found very far from human settlement.

Planned activities. Identification and sorting of samples is currently being conducted in Labuan Bajo, Flores. This will be an ongoing activity throughout the rest of my time in Indonesia. We plan to apply for a new SIMAKSI and begin fieldwork again in late February or March 2012, after the rains have stopped. Fieldwork will continue until June 2012 or until the grasses are no longer producing seeds and the dry season has begun. All above activities will be repeated with an additional three to four islands being sampled and inclusion of a diversity suvey on Komodo, Rinca, Padar, and Tatawa Bcsar (Fig. 1). Samples will be processed using a microscope for identification and stored in Indonesia. Those intended for chemical analysis will be carried to the United States. Currently a total of four separate collections of voucher speciemens are being mounted. One collection will be stored at each of the following locations: kanto Tainan National Komodo, Labuan Bajo, LIPI, Cibinong, the Essig Museum, University of California, Berkeley, and my personal collection until I have completed work that requires specimens for reference. I plan to return to California near the first of July 2012 for one semester before continuing my work in Indonesia.

(W.19) Oceanic Dispersal of Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) Hatchings off Papua’s Bird’s Head

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari penyebaran dan proses penetasan telur kura-kura laut (Dermochelys coriacea) dan ekologi lautnya


Lama Penelitian : 12(dua belas) bulan mulai 26 Juni 2012

Abstract

The goal of this study is to determine the initial trajectories of dispersal of hatchling leatherbacks departing their native beaches of Jamursba Medi and Wermon. The use of miniaturized radio and acoustic transmitters to be fitted on the hatchlings will enable to identify a series of dispersal pathways and indicate how these overlap with large-scale oceanographic features such as boundary currents, and identify threats faced at sea. Oceanographic data on near-shore sea surface currents will put the leatherbacks in a physical context and show how dispersal trajectories are influenced by surface flows. This research is part of a comprehensive effort between NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center (La Jolla, USA) UNIPA (State University of Papua in Manokwari) and the Scripps Institution Of Oceanography (SIO-La Jolla, USA). The results obtained through the proposed study will complement the current knowledge on this critically endangered species and will help tailor more effective conservation measures.

Project Summary

The beaches of Wermon and Jamursba Medi, on the Bird’s Head Peninsula (W-Papua, Indonesia; Fig. 1), are the last important nesting sites for the West Pacific leatherback. The causes of the decline in nesting at Jamursba Medi may be attributed to increases in egg poaching, nest predafion, fisheries by-catch and/or by physical/climatological factors affecting both the nests and turtles of all life stages. Using satellite telemetry, NOAA scientists are investigating migration patterns of adults. One of the key findings is that turtles from both sites (which are located less than 30 km from each other), and which nest during distinct monsoon seasons, forage in



opposite hemispheres. This may be due to divergent seasonal fiow patterns in surface currents that carry hatchlings to foraging habitats in either hemisphere, and to which they subsequently imprint. Climate-driven changes in oceanographic conditions (e.g. primary productivity) may impact leatherback hatchlings and explain part of the steady decline in nesting at Jamursba Medi. Therefore, it is important to gain insight on the seasonal and interannual patterns of oceanic dispersal of the Bird’s Head’s leatherback hatchlings. I propose to use oceanographic tools (in-situ current measurements and remote sensing data analysis) in combination with cf/rect tracking of neonate leatherbacks to address this question (this represents GG’s PhD thesis at Scripps Institution Of Oceanography -SIO). The first stage of this research is to carry oul a pilot study, during the months of July/August 2010 at Jamursba Medi, to determinethe best method for tracking hatchlings. The second stage will consist in carrying out large-scale tracking of hatchlings at both sites and deploy oceanographic instruments (ADCPs, Lagrangian drifters) to determine the near-shore surface circulation off the Bird’s Head Peninsula.

Project Need and Significance

Studying the oceanic stage of a sea turtle’s life cycle, especially neonates, is challenging. It is, however, of crucial importance to understand the threats they face at sea. Whereas considerable advances have been made towards understanding the “lost years” of loggerheads {Caretta caretta; Witherington 2002), nothing is known on the fate of neonate leatherbacks after they have entered the ocean for the first time. This project will be carried out in a data-deficient part of the world (e.g. there is no in-situ data on near-shore currents off New Guinea’s North coast), which also holds the Pacific leatherback’s most important nesting sites (Hitipeuw et aI. 2007). Current research is addressing the nesting dynamics, population genetics and post-nesting migratory behavior of this population (Dutton et al. 2007; Benson et al. 2007; Hitipeuw et al. 2007), A component that integrates oceanography and early life-stage biology will complete the aforementioned research efforts and yield a better understanding on how processes at sea may impact survival of the West Pacific leatherback population. It will also provide important data for population models.
