Multi-Business based on landscapes agroforestry to improve connectivity of Kahayan-Sebangau Peat Hidrological Unit Central Kalimantan

Abstract

The connectivity of the Peat Hydrological Unit (PHU) management through the development of multi-business based-on agroforestry landscapes has not been widely studied. Synergism in the development of PHU connectivity can be done through the determination of superior commodities in each physiography. The superior product per physiography in the PHU is an integrated cluster both vertical and horizontal value chain. This is known as a Porterian cluster. This study aims to build the concept of PHU connectivity through the development of multi-businesses based on agroforestry landscapes. The research was conducted in Tumbang Nusa Village.

The availability of financial capital for the villagers of Tumbang Nusa Village in Category I is high, moderate for categories II and III, and low for categories IV and V. The availability of social capital for citizens in all categories is high.
