Although these activities were closely related from one to another activity due to inter-corelation among them, they have their own aims and objectives. The objectives of the SDF are: (i) to disseminate the operational plan of ITTO project; (ii) to collect inputs and recomendation for the successful implementation of the project; and (iii) to establish a permanent SDF as an information exchange center of the ITTO Project. The objectives of the PC are: (i) to disseminate the operational plan of ITTO project; (ii) to review the public policies on rehabilitation of degraded forest and land; and (iii) to exchange information and experiences for the parties, which have implemented the forest and land rehabilitation involving local communities. The objectives of the workshop are: (i) to identify problems and handicaps on forest and land rehabilitation (FLR) planning; (ii) to exchange information and experiences on FLR planning; (iii) to formulate a right, simple and easy planning of FLR for forest farmers: and (iv) to increase the capacity of farmer groups in FLR through simple planning process in thesystem frameworks. The papers presented and recommendation formulated in the SDF was used to design a project concept of self-sufficient village on FLR and sustainable private forest management at village level. Worth inputs produced in the SDF were the plan of sustainable nursery operation and the good seedling distribution mechanism. The above project concept and its implementation plan was publicly consultated in Bandung in orer to get inputs and recommendation for the improvement of the real project concept, particularly in the establishment of self-suficient village on FLR. The implementation of self-suficient village on FLR was publicly informed to project stakehoders at Ciamis district through the workshop on FLR planning. The main target group of the workshop was local government (Heads of Sub-districts and Villages, and Forestry Extension Officers) and local communities involved in FLR activites. This workhop bulit the same perception and understanding of local communities for the implementation of FLR activities in Ciamis. The important things to be considered for establishing the stakeholder network were the maintaining of the contact with the forestry stakeholders, the keeping of the set committment, and the realizing of the committment. The policy recommendations and formulation produced in the stakeholder dialog, public consultation, and workshop implementation should be taken into consideration for Ciamis forestry stakeholders in order to achieve the self-sufficient village on FLR and the sustainable private forest management at village unit level. Another effort in establishing the stakeholder networking was by publishing the Manglid Media as the communication media from and for the private forest farmer. It was published every two months. The project has circulated 650 of Manglid Media for each edition to 36 sub–districts in Ciamis area. At the end of the project (May 31, 2008), the twelve edition of Manglid Media has been already published. The continuation of Manglid Media publication should be handled by the Forestry Service of Ciamis District together with Ciamis Forestry Research Agency for the next circulation period. IMPLEMENTATION OF STAKEHOLDER NETWORK ESTABLISHMENT Implementation of stakeholder network establishment in the Project ITTO PD 271/04 Rev. 3 (F) “Rehabilitation of Degrdaed Forest Land Involving Local Communities in West Java, Indonesia” was conducted through three main project activities, namely Stakeholder Dialog, Public Consultation, and Workshop on Rehabilitation Management. Each of stakeholder network activies has its background, main objectives, output, theme, and different event location. Each activity has also different formulation and recommendation results as shown in its section of formulation result. 1. STAKEHOLDER DIALOG Background The Government of Ciamis District has recieved ITTO project PD 271/04 Rev.3 (F) “Rehabilitation of Degraded Forest Land Involving Local Communities in West Java”.

  • Sundanese Manuscripts : Their Existence, Functions, and Contents
    史資料ハブ/アジアにおける在地固有文書解題 Sundanese Manuscripts : Their Existence, Functions, and Contents Edi S. EKADJATI (Visiting Professor at ILCAA, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies) (Professor at Padjadjaran University, INDONESIA) In Indonesia two forms of writing tradition exist, namely inscriptions and manu- scripts. The former were written on stone and metal, while the latter on palm leaf, bam- boo, and paper. The texts of inscriptions are generally brief containing only of a small number of lines stating a royal decree or announcement, or commemorating of a royal or religious event, while the texts of the manuscripts are usually lengthy, even numbering to thousands of pages containing a variety of expressions, thoughts, experiences, and ac- counts. Some regions in Indonesia have produced manuscripts, but others have only oral traditions. Tanah Sunda or West Java (see: maps) has produced both of the traditions. Inscriptions began to be made in mid-5th century (Vogel, 1925; Poerbatjaraka, 1952), while the time of the beginning of written manuscripts is still unknown. The main reason for this is the different materials used. Inscriptions are made on such materials as stone or metal which are more resistant to decay and weather, while manuscripts are made on leaves which are vulnerable. According to written sources of the 16th century (Atja, 1968; Atja & Saleh Danasasmita, 1981, Noorduyn, 1971), the tradition of writing manuscripts in Tanah Sunda had existed long before the 16th century, dating as far back as the times of the Kingdoms of Sunda and Galuh (8th century). Nevertheless, on the basis of the date stated in the texts, the oldest extant Sundanese manuscript dates back to the 14th century (Krom, 1915), and the writing of Sundanese manuscripts continued to be done until the end of the 20th century.

  • Art Festival and the Revival of Tradition in the Post-Reform Era of Indonesia
    Art Festival and the Revival of Tradition in the Post-reform Era of Indonesia Neneng Yanti K. Lahpan, Yusuf Wiradiredja and Nia D. Mayakania Department of Cultural Anthropology, Faculty of Arts and Media, ISBI Bandung, Jl. Buahbatu 212 Bandung, Indonesia, Keywords: art festival, Nyiar Lumar, the revival of tradition, post-reform era, West Java. Abstract: The political crisis in 1998 had created feelings of anxiety and fears for Indonesians people including artists and cultural activists. When many people remained their feelings unspoken because of high political pressure, artists and poets in West Java channelled their feelings through artistic works. Nyiar Lumar festival in Ciamis, West Java, is a biennial event created in this situation for the first time in 1998. Later, it becomes one of the biggest festivals in West Java as it has attracted thousands of people attending the series of art activities in the long day activity. Not only succeeded in creating outstanding artistic work, but also Nyiar Lumar has become a symbolic work that brought its audiences into new ‘myths’ of historical, political, and cultural glory of Sundanese in the past. Located in a historical site of old Sundanese Kingdom, Astana Gede, Ciamis, Nyiar Lumar uses traditional and natural artistic elements representing old symbols that have conveyed the Sundanese audience to celebrating their cultural glory in the past. Besides, the festival is also a medium for the youth to learn their tradition. This means the festival is a bridge for transmitting Sundanese tradition and its values to the younger generation. 1 INTRODUCTION In West Java, art festivals are also salient in public spaces.

  • The Characteristic of Recent Sediment in Segara Anakan Lagoon, Ciamis Regency, West Java
    THE CHARACTERISTIC OF RECENT SEDIMENT IN SEGARA ANAKAN LAGOON, CIAMIS REGENCY, WEST JAVA By : I Wayan Lugra and Hananto Kurnio 1 (Manuscript received 2-June-2009) ABSTRACT The high intensity of erosions at the rivers upstream which are rivermouthed into the Segara Anakan Lagoon, as sources of the materials which are causing the sedimentation on the lagoon systematically. Based on smear slide analyses and major element contents, source of the sediment which is deposited in the lagoon floor, was predicted as the volcanic products. This condition is supported by the existence of non biogenic materials such as quartz, mica, ferro-oxides, manganese oxides and tuff in the lagoon. Beside that, the existence of major elements such as SiO2 (36,6 – 51,4%) Al2O3 (13,38 – 24,70%), and Fe2O3 (8,69 – 30,6%), is particular element indicators of volcanic products. The lithology in the survey area are volcanic products such as Jampang Formation and Panutuan Formation. Jampang Formation consist of volcano breccia, tuff intercalated with lava and sandstone, claystone, napal intercalated with conglomerate. Panutuan Formation consist of sandstone, napal and tuff, Formation Members of Tuff Napalan, Panutuan Formation, which are spread on the basinal area of Citanduy, Cibeureum, and Ciseel rivers which are rivermouthed into Segara Anakan Lagoon. Key words : smear slide, major element, Segara Anakan. SARI Intensitas erosi yang tinggi di daerah hulu sungai-sungai yang bermuara di Segara Anakan sebagai sumber material yang mengakibatkan sedimetnasi laguna secara sistematis. Sumber pasokan sedimen yang diendapkan di dasar laguna berdasarkan analisis sayatan oles, dan unsur utama mineral diperkirakan merupakan produk vulkanik yang bersifat basa.
