Institutional Aspect

This paper provides an overview of the implementation and obstacles of watershed management, and the alternative solutions based on a synoptic review of related studies and experiences across Indonesia. The review found that problems in the institutional aspect were hierarchical confusion, discrepancy, and asynchrony among regulations, and weak (participation, synchronization, and coordination) among watershed management stakeholders. The weaknesses in the planning stage are integration among sectors, a lack of community participation, and limited readiness to integrate watershed planning into regional planning. Stakeholders’ involvement is also a critical factor in successful implementation of degraded watershed rehabilitation, including in peatland and mangrove areas. Failure should be minimized by providing adequate information on degraded watershed characteristics, appropriate species choices, and effective mechanical construction for soil and water conservation. Community participation as the main factor in driving watershed management should be achieved by strengthening public awareness of the importance of a sustainable watershed and providing access for the community to be involved in each stage of watershed management. Another problem is data gaps which are essential to address from the planning to evaluation stages. The gaps can be bridged by using remotely sensed data and by applying hydrological-based simulation models. Simplified criteria for watershed assessment may also be required, depending on site-specific issues and the watershed scale.

Community participation is a precondition of integrated watershed management. However, during the implementation phases, some people may not participate in or share the benefits of watershed management. There are several reasons for this and the following paper seeks to show the response by fish farmers from Saguling Reservoir, West Java, Indonesia, to environmental problems and the concept of integrated watershed management. The study indicates that while farmers have a moderate understanding of interrelated environmental problems, there is little willingness to share the benefits of investment in watershed management. Nevertheless participation in solving local environmental problems can be developed and incorporated in watershed management plans.

Abstract In any integrated watershed management programme (IWMP), community participation is indispensable. The success of the community participation mechanism (CPM) correlates positively with IWMP accomplishment. However, unlike watershed success evaluation, CPM, in practice, is seldom evaluated, nor is there a theoretical framework developed to baseline such assessment from stakeholders' perspective. This paper conceptualises a socially resilient community participation evaluation framework (CPEF) for bottom-up evaluation of watershed CPM to bridge this knowledge gap. For identifying various critical domains and variables for CPEF from a socio-hydrological perspective, we studied Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) and IWMP programme policies and literature. Based on crucial watershed management actions, we built two constructs for the framework: (1) organisational - consisting of 36 organisational actions (OAs) in 10 domains of organisational management and (2) managerial – consisting of 46 critical management actions (CMAs) in 8 domains of management practices usually carried out in watershed space. This framework was verified in the IWMP areas of Brahmaputra valley in Assam, India. We applied a stratified structured questionnaire survey method to collect opinions of randomly sampled participants from three group of IWMP stakeholders' in four IWMP projects. We employed relevant statistical tests for analysing primary field data to obtain the most appealing set of community actions for the final CPEF. The results present an overview of the current state of CPM and a set of excludable actions. This evaluation framework methodology can be utilised to gauge community participation endeavour and improve cooperation, system redirection, and goal articulation in watershed space worldwide.

Greening is in need, by the choice of plants, forest rejuvenation, establish community forests. It also includes the manufacture of building erosion control, with the aim to preserve land. In its management, watershed should be seen as a unified land resource. So let wise watershed management based on the relationship between human needs and the availability of resources to meet the human needs. Watershed management usually refers to the management of the two anasirnya (component) which is considered the most important, namely land and water resources. As for the other elements, such as climate, vegetation, relief and humans, is needed as factors in the management of. Community participation in watershed management is very helpful for the landslide disaster mitigation community participation can be expected through a few things, one of them did penenam trees / reforestation gontong together, and the other is also expected that the community in order to maintain the environment around the residence with attention to environmental cleanliness. do not throw garbage in the gutter or the yard of the house, those things that could be considered to mitigate landslides.
