The results of the assistance were the establishment of good relations from various parties, including KPH Bojonegoro. Bapedda. DLH. PEPC and IDFoS Indonesia through forest conservation activities, there had been an increase in the knowledge and capacity of forest farmers and the existence of agroforestry businesses in forest areas, the planting of 1500 longan trees and 30 durian trees as well as providing business operational assistance such as production and operational facilities, with longan cultivation farming, it was estimated that in the next 2 years at harvest, farmers were able to harvest as much as 3,000 kg with a turnover of Rp. 60,000,000 approximately in one harvest cycle, and the results of the evaluation mandate that there was 3 months of surveillance to minimize crop loss, and had been carried out by LMDH and Perhutani. To deal with the upcoming drought, it was necessary to prepare effective and possible watering because the location was in the middle of the forest with limited transportation INTRODUCTION The 2013 Socio-Economic Study showed that in the economic dimension, the majority of the communityAos main livelihood around the JTB Project location was as farmers and ranchers. One of the recommendations from the 2013 Socio-Economic Study was the implementation of CSR/PKPO for the community around the Jambaran-Tiung Biru Unitization Field Gas Development Project . ereinafter referred to as PPGJTB) through a program in the economic field, it was community economic increased welfare. One of the important aspects of community economic empowerment that was planned to be sustainability of livelihoods in order to increase the independence and welfare of the community around the JTB Project location. The government had issued various regulations including Law No. 23 of 2009 concerning the management and protection of the environment. Government Regulation No. 28 of 1985 concerning forest protection. LHK Ministerial Decree No. 39/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM. 0/2016 concerning social forestry and LHK Ministerial Decree in the working Perum Perhutani No. 38/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM. 0/2016 concerning social forestry in the working area of Perum Perhutani. The regulation provided opportunities for villagers around the forest to prosper their citizens while conserving the forest and its environment through the LMDH (Forest institutio. /KTH . orest farmer grou. With LMDH/KTH, they are mandated to manage forests by businesses . eal secto. while conserving forests with an agroforestry approach and agrisilvastura systems. That the collective awareness between the company and the community to protect and preserve the surrounding environment is the main conservation of nature. Along with the spirit of implementation of one of the principles of social and environmental responsibility (TJSL) from PT. Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) which is consistent with sustainable development and community welfare and also as a form of commitment in an effort to contribute to improving community welfare. PT. Pertamina EP Cepu will implement the Forest Area-Based Agroforestry Program with the community. The objectives of this program were to improve community welfare through replicating the successful implementation of previous programs in improving the livelihoods of rural communities around the JTB project operation area to other villages. improving environmental sustainability, especially forest sustainability in an effort to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in Bojonegoro Regency, realizing the principles of equity and justice in the implementation of community development programs that were not limited to the project area but also communities outside the project area in accordance with regional policy relationships both with the surrounding Regional Government so that the business was able to run smoothly. The target of this activity was the community around the LMDH (Forest Village Community Institutio. The indicators for the achievement of this program were the establishment of an agroforestry economic business in the forest areas of Ngasem and Purwosari sub-districts, as well as the improvement of better LMDH institutional governance in managing the business, increase in community knowledge and skills that support agroforestry businesses. existence of financing support and agroforestry business infrastructure, the existence of increased knowledge and skills of the community that supports agroforestry business, the existence of financing support and agroforestry business infrastructure, the existence of a set of agroforestry business systems. the existence of assistance that supports agroforestry businesses Person says that empowerment is a process by which people become strong enough to participate in controlling and influencing events and institutions that affect their lives. Empowerment emphasizes that people acquire sufficient skills, knowledge, and power to influence their lives and the lives of others they care about. Meanwhile, according to Swift and Levin in building Empowering Communities, empowerment refers to efforts to reallocate power through changing social structures. Based on the definition of empowerment above, it can be concluded that empowerment is a series of activities to strengthen the power or empowerment of vulnerable and weak groups in society, including individuals who experience poverty problems, so that they have the empowerment to meet their life needs both physically, economically, and socially. activities such as: self-confidence, as well as expressing aspirations, having a livelihood, participating in social activities and being independent in carrying out their life tasks. The way in which empowerment is carried out is by providing motivation or support in the form of resources, opportunities, knowledge, and skills for the community to increase their capacity, increase awareness about their potential, then strive to develop that potential. The empowerment is to strengthen the power of the community, especially the weak groups who have powerlessness, either because of internal conditions . own perception. , or because of external conditions . being oppressed by an unfair social structur. There are several groups that can be categorized as weak or powerless groups including . The group is structurally weak, rising weakly in class, gender, and ethnicity. Special LITERATURE REVIEW Community Empowerment The AuempowermentAy comes from the basic word AupowerAy which means the power to do, achieve, perform or enable. The prefix AuemAy means strength in humans, a source of creativity (Baridi, et. ) Conceptually, empowerment comes from the word power . ower or empowermen. (Sugiarto, 2005, p. Empowerment refers to the ability of people. Especially vulnerable and weak groups so that they have the strength or ability to: . fulfill their basic needs so that they have freedom, in the sense that they are not only free to express opinions, but are free from hunger, free from ignorance, free from pain. access to productive sources that enable them to increase their income and obtain the goods and services they need. participate in development processes and the decisions that affect them. (Sugiarto, 2005, p. The definition of empowerment is seen from the goals, processes, and ways of empowerment. According to Jim Ife in building a Community Empowering the People, empowerment aims to increase the power of people who are weak or disadvantaged (Suharto, vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, children and youth with disabilities, gays and lesbians, isolated communities. Personally weak groups, namely those who experience personal or family (Suharto, 2. According to Agus SyafiAoi, the purpose of community empowerment is to establish a community or build the ability to advance oneself towards a better life in a balanced way, because community empowerment is an effort to broaden the horizon of choice for the This means that people are empowered to see and choose something that is beneficial to themselves. Payne argues that an empowerment process, in essence, aims to help clients gain the power to make decisions and find actions that they will take related to themselves, including reducing the effects of personal and social barriers in taking action. This is done through increasing the ability and self-confidence to use the power he has, among others through the transfer of power from his According to Isbandi Rukmino Adi, community empowerment has 7 . aspects of empowerment, which are as follows: Preparation Phase: at this stage there are two stages that must be carried out, first, staff retention, it is community empowerment which can be done by community wokers, and second field preparation which is basically attempted to be carried out in a non-directive manner. Stages of assessment: at this stage, the assessment process can be done individually through groups in the community. In this case the officer must try to identify the problem of the perceived needs . eel need. and also the resources owned by the Alternative planning stage of programs or activities: at this stage the officers as exchange agents in a participatory manner try to involve citizens to think about the problems they face and how to overcome them. In this context, the community is expected to be able to think of several alternative programs and activities that can be carried out. The action plan formalization stage: at this stage the change agent helps each group to formulate and determine what programs and activities they will undertake to address the existing Besides that, the officers also help to formalize their ideas into written form, especially when it has to do with making proposals to funders. Stage of implementation of programs or activities: in an effort to implement community empowerment programs, the community as cadres are expected to maintain the sustainability of the programs that have been developed. Cooperation between officers and the community is important in this stage because sometimes things that have been planned well can deviate from the field. Evaluation stage: evaluation as a process of monitoring from residents and officers of the empowerment program should be carried out by involving With the involvement of these citizens, it is hoped that in the short term, it will usually form a community system for internal monitoring and in the long term can build more communication by utilizing existing resources. Termination termination stage is the stage of relationship with the target At this stage, the project is expected to stop combining forestry business with rural development to create a balance between agricultural intensification and forest conservation (Bene, 1977. King 1978. King, 1. Agroforestry is expected to be useful in addition to preventing the expansion of degraded land, conserving forest resources, improving agricultural quality and perfecting silvicultural intensification and diversification. This system has been practiced by farmers in various parts of Indonesia for centuries (Michon and de Foresta, 1. , such as shifting cultivation systems, mixed gardens on land around the house . and pastures. Another common example in Java is the dense mosaics of expanses of rice fields and productive moor interspersed with clumps of trees. Some of these clumps have a structure close to that of natural forest with a wide variety of plant species. Based on the motivation of the farmers, there are two systems for establishing agroforestry in the field, including the AutraditionalAy farming system and the AumodernAy system. AutraditionalAy system is a system that is Audeveloped and testedAy by the farmer himself, according to natural conditions and market needs or demands, and in line with the development of his experience over the years from one generation to the next. In the AutraditionalAy development is usually based solely on trial and error, without formal research workers/field officers. In AumodernAy farming systems, ideas and technologies are derived from research results. According to De Foresta and Michon . , agroforestry can be grouped into two systems, including simple agroforestry systems and complex agroforestry system is an agricultural Meanwhile. Gunawan Sumodiningrat, efforts for community empowerment consist of 3 . stages, including creating a climate that allows the community's potential to develop. The starting point is the recognition that every human being and society has potential . that can be developed, strengthening the potential or power possessed by the community, in this context more positive and real steps are needed, as well as opening access to various opportunities that will make the community more empowered in taking advantage of opportunities, and empowering also means tackling. Agroforestry The conversion of natural forests into agricultural land is realized to cause many problems such as decreased soil fertility, erosion, extinction of flora and fauna, floods, droughts and even global environmental changes. This problem is getting worse from time to time in line with the increasing area of forest that is converted to other business land. agroforestry was born as a new branch of science in agriculture or forestry. This science seeks to identify and develop the existence of agroforestry systems that have been developed by farmers in tropical and subtropical climates for Agroforestry is a combination of forestry science and agronomy, system in which trees are intercropped with one or more seasonal crops. Trees can be planted as fences around plots of land for food crops, randomly in plots of land, or in other patterns such as lined up in an array to form an alley/fence. The types of trees planted are also very diverse, they can be of high economic value such as coconut, rubber, cloves, coffee, cocoa . , jackfruit, belinjo, petai, teak and mahogany or those of low economic value such as dadap, lamtoro and calliandra. Types of seasonal crops usually revolve around food crops, such as rice . , corn, soybeans, beans, cassava, vegetables and grasses or other types of plants. The most widely discussed form of simple agroforestry in Java is intercropping (Bratamihardja, 1. This system, in the Indonesian version, is known as AutaungyaAy which is mandatory in teak forest areas in Java and was developed within the framework of the social forestry program of Perum Perhutani. On this land, farmers are allowed to plant annual crops between young teak trees. The results of seasonal crops are taken by farmers, but farmers are not allowed to cut or damage teak trees and all trees remain the property of Perum Perhutani. When the tree has become mature, there is no more integration with annuals because of the problem of shade from the tree. Types of trees that are planted specifically to produce timber for building materials . only, resulting in a change in the cropping pattern from an intercropping system to a monoculture teak plantation. This simple system is often a common feature of commercial agriculture (Siregar. In its development, this simple agroforestry system is also a mixture of several types of trees without any annual For example, coffee plantations are usually interspersed with dadap (Erythrin. or kelorwono plants, also called gamal (Gliricidi. as shade plants and soil fertilizers. Another example of intercropping commonly found in Ngantang. Malang is planting coffee in pine forests. Complex agroforestry system, is a sedentary agricultural system that involves many types of tree crops . either intentionally planted or naturally growing on a plot of land and managed by farmers following cropping patterns and ecosystems resembling a In this system, in addition to various types of trees, there are also shrubs, climbing plants . , seasonal plants and grasses in large numbers. The main characteristic of this complex agroforestry system is the physical appearance and dynamics in it which are similar to natural forest ecosystems, both primary and secondary forests, therefore this system can also be referred to as AGROFOREST (ICRAF, 1. Based on the distance to the place of residence, this complex agroforestry system is divided into two, including gardens or home gardens which are located around the residence and AuagroforestAy, which is usually called AuforestAy which is located far from the place of residence (De Foresta, 2. , for example, the Audamar forestAy in the Krui area. West Lampung or the Aurubber forestAy in Jambi. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Participatory Action Research (PAR) was used in this assistance The foundation of the PARAos working method was primarily ideas that come from the people. Therefore. PAR researchers were required to carry out the following work methods: . Paying close attention to the ideas that come from the people which were still fragmented and systematic. Studying the idea together with them so that it became a systematic idea. uniting with the people. Reviewing the ideas that come from them, so that they were aware and master that the ideas are their . Translating the idea into action. Testing the truth of ideas through . and repeatedly so that the idea becomes truer, more meaningful and valuable over time. The clearer steps were described as follows: . Preleminary mapping, initial mapping as a tool for controlling the community, researchers will easily understand the reality of the problem and the social closeness that exists. This will make it easier to enter the community either through key people or grassroots communities that have been built, such as religious groups, cultural groups, or economic groups. Building human relations, researchers carry out inculturation and build trust with residents, so that equal and mutually supportive bonds are established. Researchers and citizens can unite into a symbiotic mutualism to carry out studies, learn to master the problem, dismantle the problem in a participatory manner. Determining the Research Agenda for Social Change, together with the community, the researchers schedule a study program through the participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method to understand residentsAo cases which later became tools for social change, while pioneering, building community groups, according to abilities and diversity. Participatory mapping, together with the community to map the area, as well as the problems experienced by the Formulating humanitarian problems, the community formulates the basic problems of human life that they experience. Such as issues of food, housing, health, education, energy, the environment, and other major humanitarian issues. Develop Movement Strategy, the community formulates a movement strategy to dismantle the formulated humanitarian Ensuring systematic steps, ensuring the participating parties . , as well as formulating the possible success and failure of the planned program and finding a way out if there are obstacles that limit the success of the program. Community organizing, communities assisted by researchers have established social Whether they appear in the form of working groups or community organizations, they are actually solving social problems at the same time. Likewise, building networks between working groups and between working groups and other agencies related to the planned action plans. Launching change action, actions to solve problems are involved at the same time. Solving humanitarian problems not only solves the problem itself, but is also a process of community learning. Therefore, new institutions were formed in the community, community organizers were formed, and finally local leaders emerged, and these figures became agents of change. Build community learning centers, learning centers are built based on the needs of community groups that are already engaged in action for change. The learning center is a medium for communication, research, discussion, and all aspects for planning, organizing and solving social problems. Theoretical reflection of social change, community researchers put forward the theory of social change. Based on the results of the research, the community learning process and the researcher and the community will reflect on all the processes and results obtained . rom start to finis. Theoretical reflections are formulated collectively, so that they become academic theories that can be displayed to the public as an academic accountability system. Expanding the scale of movement and support, the success of the PAR program is not only measured by the results of activities during the process, but also by the level of sustainability of the program that has been running and the emergence of local organizers and leaders who continue the program to take action for change. local protected area.

Then, the plans for the preservation of longan and durian seeds had been discussed in plots 40, 41, 53, and 54. Then, for the mentoring was carried out for 6 months starting from October 21 to March 31. Planting was carried out in December 2019 and completed in January 2020. For more than 2 months, the plants including experiencing inundation for more than 1 day because February was the peak of rainy season in Bojonegoro Regency. This included the occurrence of landslides due to the erosion of river because the land being planted is KPS land on the banks of the river. The latest conditions as of March 20, 2020 were as Plant Condition Map The number of planted plants was 1500 longan plants and 30 durian plants.

Update on Agroforestry Plant Condition 2020 Replanting the trees was carried out at the end of March 2020 with a total number of 265 longan and 4 durian plants. The drowned plants were not being able to be replanted because this was a natural disaster and the place to be planted had become a river flow. The percentage of plant mortality was 15% or as many as 231 plants were plants that were on critical land which if it rained there was inundation for more than 1 day. In terms of plant management, plants were planted in the local protected area (KPS) perhutani KRPH Clangap. Bandungrejo Village. Ngasem Sub-District. Bojonegoro Regency, precisely located in plots 52,53, 41 and 42. Plant cultivation was managed by 27 forest farmers, or commonly called Pesanggem. Each of the Pesanggem was in the p area manages crops according to the area they usually plant, which was described in detail in the following table: Table 1 Plant cultivation was managed by 27 forest farmers NUMBER OF SEEDS No. NAME Plot DARTO JARI SOKRAN TARIMAN TASMIN LASIMIN SUKI WIJI RIYANTO SUWADI PARMONO MUNAJI LAIMIN NGALI SARIMAN NGASIRAN RASIMUN SURATIN WAJI FATHKUR TASLIMIN LAGIANTO Kelengkeng LAGIANTO Durian Plant LAGI SUMARI NGATMAN BUDIONO SUTOPO FATHKUR TOTAL Total Numb er of Replan Survive Lost 1,53 There were two extraordinary events happened, including the rain and flash flood, also the Covid-19 Outbreak. The peak of the Bojonegoro rain in February 2020 caused some of the land on the banks of the river that was planted with longan to be eroded and caused the drifting of 37 longan plants and 1 durian plant. The high intensity of rain and the shallowness of the river are factors that cause the heavy flow of water, and because the plant was only 1 month old, the roots had not been firmly attached to the subsoil so that the water flows rapidly towards the Then, the 2019 Corona Virus Disease (Covid-. pandemic has become a worldwide pandemic since December 2019 and has started to enter Indonesia since February The Indonesian government has started to grant a Civil Emergency status, and has begun to limit travel to and from abroad. In Bojonegoro Regency, the government based on circular letter number 440/184/412. 305/2020 to limit social activities and activities with large gatherings of people, starting in midMarch 2020. Most activities with large gatherings of people had been restricted to the point that they were not allowed. This was done as an effort to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19. This had an impact on the final activity that should be carried out in the program this time, it was the final evaluation together with stakeholders and the farmers. Then, there was unfinished In the 4th week of March 2020, a final evaluation activity had been planned Perhutani, governments, sub-district and village governments and forest farmers. The activity which was planned to be carried out by presenting updates and program results and then asking for responses and evaluations from various parties as a followup to the program could not be carried out. The postponement of these activities until this report was written due to the Covid-19 outbreak, making it impossible to carry out activities that must gather more than 20 The follow-up to this activity will be carried out after the COVID-19 pandemic has improved, marked by a notification from the government stating that the condition is not an emergency and it is permissible to organize activities with many Related to the challenges faced during the activities including . The condition of the land which is was a critical land makes the planting and maintenance process required extra effort. Shallow rivers make puddles when it rained on the land around the river longer. The age of famers (LMDH) were mostly elderly and had low education, this caused the communication was not running smoothly. It was estimated that in 3 months the dry season began and the land started to dry It was needed special efforts such as watering and others to maintain plant life because plants had not been enough age to survive on their own. From the above challenges, several lessons can be concluded, . With the majority of critical locations, it was in KPS land along the banks of rivers, in which when it rained, there must be heavy flow and flooding, during the dry season it was dry because of the allovial soil type. This condition became a valuable lesson to plant with the pit method and the addition of a water barrier that passes like a concrete buis, so plant it in a concrete buis. During the dry season, it had not been experienced because the program was running in the rainy season.
