1. Project description

1.1 Location and size of study area

PT. Kalimantan Prima Agro Mandiri (PT. KPAM) is planning to develop an oil palm plantation in the

South of Ketapang District. As part of the commitment made by IOI, which is “No Deforestation” in

their plantation development, therefore, High Carbon Study identification in PT. KPAM’s IUP area is

carried out. HCS identification was conducted in PT. KPAM’s IUP area, covering 11,000 ha of

agricultural licensed land area. The area consists of 2 lands that is separated by Brais River (Map 1).

The study area is surrounded by three villages, which are Desa Sukaramai, Desa Jambi and Desa Danau

Buntar. Desa Sukaramai and Desa Jambi villages are located in Manis Mata District; whereas, Danau

Buntar village is located in Kendawangan District. The location of the proposed plantation is in

Ketapang District, West Kalimantan Province while all three villages are located within the

administrative of Kalimantan Barat Province. The coordinate points of the Area of Interest (AOI) are

110o42’20” – 110o55’05” East Longitude and 2o47’00” – 2o57’20” South Latitude. PT.

PT KPAM is bordered with (i) the development area of the Danau Buntar village, PT UAI palm oil

plantation, the production forest (HP), and the development plan area of Manismata Subdistrict

(KSCT) in the north; (ii) the riparian buffer of Jelai River, the production forest, and the moratorium

peatland area in the south; (iii) the moratorium peatland area and PT BSS in the west; (iv) the riparian

buffer of Jelai River, which is also the border between Kalimantan Barat and Kalimantan Tengah, in

the east.

1.2 Overview of proposed plantation development

PT. KPAM has received the location permit with a total area of 11,000 hectares through the letter,

with reference no = Ref No: 1507/DPMPTSP-D/2017, from the Regent Ketapang. PT. KPAM has

obtained the permit for the area since August 2007, which was issued by Regent Ketapang (SK No.

365/2007, 20,000ha). A certified letter by Regent Ketapang, with reference no = No: 100/1193/PEM,

was issued on June 26, 2015.

Based on the regional planning map (RTRW) and approval letter (SK No.936/Menhut-II/2013 and SK

No.733/Menhut-II/2014) received from the Ministry of Forestry, the concession area of PT. KPAM is

allocated for non-forestry cultivation areas. The Forest and Waters Area Designation Map (PPKH,

2014) and Indicative Map of New Permit extended by Ministry of Living Environment and Forestry

(MoEF, 2016) are the latest updated map showing the location of forest and water resources.

Indicative Map of New Permit Postponement (PIPPIB) revision 11 designated on November 21st, 2016

has shown that the IUPs PT KPAM area is outside of the Primary Forest area, Conservation Forest or

Protected Forest and it is also no peatland area into the project site.

In addition, the company also obtained Plantation Business Permit (Ijin Usaha Perkebunan) on Nov 27,

2015 from Regent Ketapang (SK.772/DISBUN-D/2015, for 11,000 ha and mill capacity 45-ton

FFB/Hour). In 2017, PT KPAM granted with the Extension of Plantation Business Permit No.

1507/DPMPTSP-D/2017 for 11,000 Hectares. PT. KPAM also conducted an Environment Impact

Assessment (AMDAL) which received the approval of ANDAL Framework by West Kalimantan

Governor via letter No 12/2015. An environment feasibility permit no. 715/KLH-B/2015, was issued

on October 28, 2015 by the Regent of Ketapang.

PT. KPAM has conducted socialisation and consultation with the surrounding communities (Village

Head, BPD, Adat people, communities and other community representatives) to disseminate PT

KPAM’s plan to conduct several assessments (soil, land use and High Conservation Value (HCV)

assessment) in order to produce the Integrated Conservation and Land Use Plan.

After the socialization, PT KPAM has acquired support letter from the respective hed of village,

through their letters as follow (i) Surat Dukungan Kepala Desa Danau Buntar Nomor 140/386/PEM

tanggal 10 Maret 2015, (ii) Surat Dukungan Kepala Desa Jambi Nomor 140/021/III/2015/PEM tanggal

10 Maret 2015. Based on the consultation and participatory mapping conducted by with the affected

communities, land utilisation pattern as claimed by three communities in PT KPAM’s IUP is shown in

the following Map 2.

Map 2: Land utilisation pattern by three communities in PT KPAM’s IUP area.

1.3 Description of surrounding landscape

The previous land utilization in and around PT KPAM’s IUP area, includes (1) oil palm plantation, (2)

community plantation (smallholder), (3) Development area for Manismata District, (4) Peatland

moratorium, (5) Buffer zone for Jelai River, (6) Buffer zone for Belida Lake, (7) Buffer zone for wood

production forest, and (8) Buffer zone for HP agroforest (Refer to Map 3).

The nearest protected areas from PT KPAM, include the buffer zone of both Jelai River and Belida Lake.

This is the requirement, stated in PP 26/2008 (Government Regulation number 26) in year 2008, to

support the spatial management plan. There is a peat forest protected area located 2-3 km to the west

of PT KPAM’s IUP area. Based on the “Indikatif Penundaan Pemberian Izin Baru Pemanfaatan Hutan,

Penggunaan Kawasan hutan, and Perubahan Peruntukan Kawasan Hutan dan Areal Penggunaan Lain

(Revisi X)”, the proposed oil palm plantation (PT KPAM’s IUP area) is not classified as a moratorium

area (Refer to Map 4).

PT. KPAM area is located outside the biodiversity concentration region (Prihatna, 2009) and not

classified as Important Bird Area1. The area also not located intact to the forest landscape2, and

indirectly defined as not part of Heart of Borneo3 region and Ramsar4 conservation site. The nearest

conservation regions are Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve (located ± 17 km to the East) and

Kendawangan Estuary Nature Reserve (Located ± 44 km to the West). (refer to Map 5).

Map 5. Location of PT KPAM’s IUP areas at a landscape level, showing distance from the nearest conservation areas.

Land cover in this region is inseparable from the histories of land usage and community’s interaction

with land. Wood utilization activities both commercially and non-commercially have occurred from

1970 to end of 1990s (quoted in HCV Assessment at PT Kalimantan Prima Agro Mandiri, Kabupaten

Ketapang, Kalimantan Barat, Aksenta, 2015). Those activities have contributed to the reduction of

forest area size and forest cover quality. Additionally, the reduction has also been caused by large

scale forest and land fires occurred in 1997/1998.

Land fires generally occurred every year. Map 6 shows the location of hotspot distribution from year

2005 to year 2015 (Refer to Map 6). Most of the fires occurred were due to hunting activities. Fire is

normally used to surround game animals, such as deer and mouse deer, or purposely done to enhance

the growth of secondary vegetation such as grass as bait for game animals. Fire is also used as part of

the techniques to clear the land for cultivation activities, by the community. However, most of the

land in PT KPAM is categorised as swamp areas, and only minimal areas that is suitable for community

cultivation activities.

Map 6. Hotspot distribution from 2005 to 2015 in the study are and its surroundings

Community that is living in and around PT KPAM’s IUP area especially in these three villages, mostly a

Dayak and local Malay people. A few communities recorded from other small ethnicities. Dayak ethnic

people are usually Christian or Roman Catholic, while Malay ethnic people are generally Muslim.

Therefore, the community don’t have any strong customary attachment to the land. The community

livelihood in this area is varied. Some of them working as fishermen, fruits/vegetables farmers,

carpenters, construction workers, workers at PT Harapan Sawit Lestari and PT Usaha Agro Indonesia,

and service providers of informal sector (Refer to Table 1).

The HCS assessment was carried out using the HCS Approach Toolkit (Version March 2015) as a

guideline, in order to ensure the HCV and FPIC components is integrated. The overall process is

described in Figure 1 and Figure 2 (based on HCSA Toolkit, Module 3). Before the HCS assessment can

be initiated, due diligence activities were carried out.

The following schedule describes the process of High Carbon Stock Assessment that is carried out in

PT KPAM, and also the integration of High Conservation Value (HCV) assessments as well as the Free,

Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) of local communities.

2.2.1 Due Diligence (Step 1) and Pre-Assessment Stage (Step 2 – Step 3)

The FIRST step, IOI has made a commitment to environmental and social safeguards – a statement

committing company operations to the core values engrained in the HCV, HCS and FPIC processes that

are being integrated: zero deforestation, peat protection, biodiversity conservation, respect for local

community tenure and rights, community food security and support for livelihoods.

IOI also commits to a moratorium on any land clearing or land preparation until the final integrated

plan is developed, and proper management plan to address social, biodiversity and environmental

issues is in place. IOI demonstrates their legal right over a specifically defined site as stated in section

2.0 Location and Status of License, in this document.

IOI also commits to ensure FPIC process is adapted, with full disclosure of the proposed project, with

all potentially affected communities. After the due diligence process, then a pre-assessment activity

was carried out, followed by assessment and post-assessment.

14 | P a g e

Pre-assessment activities include at least 2 steps,

namely (i) Information Gathering and (ii) Scoping

Study.

(i) Information Gathering

Step 2: Information gathering was carried out to

collect primary and secondary data on social

related issues.

Primary data social, economic, cultural, and public

health information was collected through focus

group discussions and individual interviews with

the local communities including the surrounding

stakeholders.

Secondary data collection was carried out through

a reference made from the studies’ findings that

were gathered from relevant government

authorities and private sectors. Information on

socio-economic and cultural components were

collected comprises population density, mortality,

structure of community, race, religion, sex ratio,

livelihood, consumption pattern, income,

infrastructure, gross regional product, community

institution, culture, community perception on

environment and the proposed project, social

interaction, and other parameters reflecting the

socio-economy & cultural conditions of the

community.

The above information is very important during the assessment of the social issues and environmental

impact assessment.

In this level, all existing data relevant to the project area and its surrounding landscape was collated.

This includes data from published and unpublished studies, research reports, papers and other

pertinent sources. There are three main types of information required for a comprehensive integrated

assessment: environmental data, social data and geospatial data.

The project also has identified the stakeholders that is potentially affected by the project especially

the local communities. The company also committed to share the oil palm development plan to the

communities including other stakeholders, to enable the project to identify the risks and further

determine the measures. One of the requirement for the companies that planned to develop oil palm

plantation is to assess the HCS areas. The management measures for the HCS areas is “No

Figure 1: HCV-HCS-FPIC Integration (Pre-

Assessment & Assessment)

Deforestation”, and therefore the company need to evaluate if this management measures could

affect the existing local communities.

The community was also fully informed of their rights as PT. KPAM is willing to provide the community

with any access to legal advisor and other services that is needed by the community. The following

Table 4 shows the list of stakeholders that is involved in the HCS assessment.

Scoping Study and Stakeholders Consultation.

Step 3: Based on the data collected, scoping study and analyses of stakeholders’ consultation are

determined in order to support the identifying of the negative and positive impacts, which may have

occurred during the development of the oil palm plantation. Scoping studies are important for the

following reasons: they provide an opportunity to meet and consult the government, local

communities and other stakeholders; increase understanding of the terrain and land cover; gather

further existing data; and verify proposed field sampling or protocols.

It is important to meet and discuss the proposed project and the assessment with different levels of

government – both national and local – as well as other key stakeholders, for instance NGOs / civil

society and development project leaders. Such engagements are a key requirement and should be led

by the assessor during the scoping study.

16 | P a g e

Once the scoping study has been initiated, one of the first activities should be to visit local

communities likely to be affected by the development. The company’s staffs have visited these

communities team prior to the experts or assessors’ arrival, to discuss via a two-way dialogue the

proposed project, the mutually agreed process for reaching consent for the project, and the project

development phases including the forthcoming visit of the assessors.

The following studies were identified during the study scoping process, which includes

(i) Land Cover Classification;

(ii) Carbon Stock Assessment;

(iii) Environmental Impact Assessment

(iv) Social Impact Assessment

(v) Soil Study and Mapping

(vi) High Conservation Value Assessment

2.2.2 Assessment Stage (Step 4 – Step 6)

This stage involves step 4-6, as shown in Figure 1, where the assessment of all the required study as

mentioned in Step 3, were carried out according to the following schedule Table 5.

Table 5: Schedule of the required Assessment as highlighted from Step 3.

High Conservation Value Assessment

In this process, the teams of experts were required to travel to the field site to collect primary data as

planned for in Step 3 (Scoping). The studies were varied depending on existing data in hand and on

site specific circumstances.

Step 5: Based on the above activities, data analysis and forest patch analyses. All data or information

that is gathered from the participatory field assessment including data that is gathered from the HVC

assessment such as coordinates of areas with HCV, elements that were mapped out by community

are analysed. Information on such locations were used to identify the forest patches or land cover that

is available in the satellite imagery. Forest and land cover related elements was identified into HCV 1-

3, while the socio-economic and cultural mapping related elements was identified into HCV 5-6.

17 | P a g e

The assessment team, in consultation with key stakeholders and experts, reviews the relevant

biological, ecological and social baseline data (primary and secondary) from Step 4 (Previous Step) to

carry out the initial identification of HCVs 1–6. The output of the HCVs including the Management

areas is available in Appendix 1 of this document.

In parallel, the initial land cover map is already completed, supported by forest inventory plot data to

complete the Decision Tree process as described in the HCS Approach Toolkit.

The next step was to overlay all the relevant data sets to develop an integrated plan. Data sets that

was used for this overlaying in the GIS process include:

(i) Land tenure (for PT KPAM, this map is not available), or any community protected areas

or sites (for PT KPAM, this map is not available, but Management Area no 5 is highlighted);

(ii) Areas of HCVs 1–6

(iii) Areas of HVC management areas

(iv) Carbon areas (which is based on Soil Map showing peat and organic soil areas);

(v) HCS forest areas;

Finally, in order to optimize the outcomes for conservation, development and livelihoods (as set out

in the agreed HCS Convergence process recommendations), we allow some ‘give and take’ in the low

and medium priority HCS patches so that the draft production/protection map makes logical sense

from an operational perspective while maximizing conservation and livelihood results.

Step 6: After the above activities were done, consultation and quality control are carried out.

Stakeholder and public consultation. Stakeholders consultation was carried out with the local key

stakeholders, which includes local communities (community leaders, village government), sub-

district government, and other relevant government institutions at district level, in addition to NGOs

and companies operating around the assessment area. Public consultations main objectives are: (i)

to communicate the output of field findings and analysis; (ii) to collect additional data and

information and obtain clarification over the field findings; and (iii) to ensure feedback from the

community and stakeholders consultation is documented.

2.2.3 Post- Assessment Stage (Step 7 – Step 8)

Step 7: After the above activities are completed, field delineation is conducted in order to integrate

all the information that is gathered from HCV assessment activities, Soil Study activities and

Community Mapping exercise. Boundaries of the proposed HCV areas, peat area (including other

conservation areas) and community areas are delineated. In summary, the delineation process

includes the demarcation of the following areas; (i) Areas with HCV values of biodiversity, landscapes

and ecosystems (HCV1-3), (ii) Areas with important ecosystem services (HCV4; and (iii) HCV 5 and 6

areas. The output of Step 7 is the “Integrated Conservation and Land Use Plan” (ICLUP) which is shown

in Map 7.

18 | P a g e

Step 8 includes the final public

consultation process that was carried

out with the key stakeholders, including

the communities. Public consultation

was held by presenting the output of the

proposed “Integrated Conservation and

Land Use Plan” (ICLUP) to the

representatives of key stakeholders such

as local communities (community

leaders, village government), sub-district

government, and other relevant

government institutions at district level,

in addition to NGOs and companies

operating around the assessment area.

Public consultations main objectives are: (i) to communicate the out of the ICLUP; (ii) to collect

feedbacks from the key stakeholders; and (iii) to ensure their recommendation is included during the

preparation of the Management Plan, which include the Protection, Management and Monitoring

Plan. The output of Step 7 is the “Integrated Conservation & Land Use Plan” (ICLUP) which is shown in

Map 8.

Map 8: Integrated Conservation and Land Use Plan for PT. KPAM

The above Map 8 is the output of this assessment which is the “Integrated Conservation and Land Use

Plan” – ICLUP. The ICLUP shows that the available planted area is about 7,251.11 Hectares. The

proposed area to be developed for plantation in year 2018 is about 3,000 Ha, while in 2019 about

4,251.11 Ha.

20% of the proposed planting area will be allocated for PLASMA Scheme as required the government

regulation.

The management of PT KPAM has decided to excise 2,871.47 Ha for HCV areas (HCVMA) including

1022.40 Ha overlap with peat areas (in ID01, ID02, ID03, HCVMA 01 and HCVMA 03 & 4). The total size

of peat land areas that is located outside HCV area is 814.65 Ha. The following table shows the details

of the proposed new planting area with hectarage to be developed for each land cover.

• It has been confirmed that mapping Jambi village’s border has been conducted with community’s participation.

• There are no forest or other areas needed to be protected or reserved for the locals.

• Information regarding land rights, land usage, and the absence of custom forest or lands being managed communally.

• Social Issues being identified and measures to address the

The following information was acquired from field assessment with regards to land rights and land

usage;

▪ There are no customary forest or land being managed communally.

▪ There are no forests or other areas need to be protected or reserved for the community. According

to the locals, forests were burnt by big forest fire in 1997.

▪ Berkah Bersama Lestari and Sukaramai community has a plan to develop 5,381 ha of oil palm

plantation in PT KPAM’s IUP area. After a series of consultation the said cpmpany and community

now aware the PT KPAM has the legal right to develop the land for oil plam plantation.

▪ Some lands in Sukaramai village have SKT status, but the area is outside the PT KPAM’s IUP area.

▪ From the stakeholder and community consultation, it was found out that the number of brokers

and people (came from outside) who made a claim on this land is increasing. It was also found that

the Head of RT 04, had refused to sign as a witness in SKT issuance by 10 people, which 6 of those

people are villagers of Sukamara (located ouside of the village). He even said that there is one who

had claimed up to 1,000 ha. There are also boards with the names of those claiming lands being

planted within the PT KPAM’s IUP area.

The above information that was gathered from a series of consultation shows that there is a need to

socialize the development plan for PT KPAM. During the early stage, the followings information was

communicated to the community and stakeholders, which includes (i) company profile, (ii) the

company’s agricultural licensed area, (iii) land relinquish plan, (iv) community partnership scheme, (v)

harvests sharing, (vi) village’s plantation and (vii) CSR program. This information parallel to the

Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Ketapang Nomor 19 Tahun 2009, especially issues on licensing and

supervising agricultural business with partnership scheme.

The company has also presenting and shared the potential environmental and social impacts to the

stakeholders and community. Participatory mapping is initiated by the company to determine the

borders of Sukaramai and Jambi villages. This activity involves village officials, surveyors, mapping

company, and assistant of Public Affair Department. This is to facilitate the land relinquish plan, the

23 | P a g e

company have prepared the workplan and will cooperate with village’s SatLak team to identify,

measure and verify land.

In this process, the community have been given a complete freedom whether or not to relinquish their

lands. The company also highlighted the community partnership scheme that is required under the

govement regulation, and the affected community can become part of the partnershop programme.

The company also respects to those whom have chosen not to relinquish their lands and the measures

for this issues is tabled in Table 7: Management Plan to address Social Issues in PT. KPAM, with the

goal - “Partnership with local community to manage PT. KPAM sustainably is established”

3.1.2 FPIC Evaluation in this HCS assessment.

This FPIC implementation evaluation was carried out by Aksenta (3rd Party Experts) in order to (i)

determine the status of FPIC approaches that were carried out during the HCS assessment and also

(ii) to further recommend follow-up actions to be made in order to improve the FPIC integration during

the early stage of the management plan implementation.

Information about Future Development in PT KPAM’s IUP

The location of PT KPAM’s IUP is well known by the local communities from Desa Sukaramai, Desa

Jambi and Desa Danau Buntar. Based on the community mapping exercise that was done with the

local communities, the IUP areas is previously utilized by the villagers from Desa Sukaramai, Desa

Jambi, and Desa Danau Buntar for shifting cultivation, hunting area and access to Brais River. Most of

the IUP area was burnt in 1997, and therefore, the presence of forest in this area is very limited.

The socialization of the future development plan of PT KPAM was initiated in early year 2015. The

community also claimed that they have been using the IUP areas for shifting cultivation and access to

Brais River for fishing. The community also aware that 20% of the available land (oil palm plantation

in PT KPAM), will be managed in partnership with the surrounding communities.

The community is also aware on the assessment that is required by PT KPAM in order to prepare the

HCS assessment report, including the other report (such as NPP Report).

Socialization of the Development Plan

Socialization of the development plan and other required assessment was initiated in early 2015. PT

KPAM also received official support from head of Desa Danau Buntar and Desa Jambi, after series of

consultation between PT KPAM and the affected communities. Public consultation was carried out

with the communities in early 2016, to present the findings from the Environmental Impact

Assessment (EIA), so that the communities are aware of the impacts of the development plan to their

livelihood

Verification on Socialization Implementation

The following actions or evidences were gathered in order to enable the FPIC implementation

verification

24 | P a g e

• Support letters gathered from Desa Danau Buntar and Desa Jambi, as an evidence that after the

consultation, the community has no objection for PT KPAM to develop the oil palm plantation,

including to assess and protect the HCS areas in PT KPAM’s IUP;

• AMDAL report that is prepared in early 2015, contains all feedbacks that is gathered from the

surrounding communities. The communities were well informed about the future development

plan. Recommendations were made as a management measures to address the potential impacts

including other social issues that were raised by the surrounding communities.

• The HCV assessment process which was carried out from year 2015-2017, provide a neutral

platform for the communities to get enough information about the development plan and at the

same time provide inputs and suggestions especially where is the important area for their fishing

and shifting cultivation activities.

• Series of meeting and consultation headed by “Dinas Perkebunan Kabupaten Ketapang” recorded

in the form of (i) minutes of meeting and (ii) audio visual.

Verification on type of socialization to support FPIC Implementation

The following activities were carried out in order to fulfil the FPIC requirement

• Risk identifications through the AMDAL study;

• Identification of the communities’ right on the land utilization and also the requirement by the

government to allocate 20% of the available land (for oil palm development) to be allocated for

community PLASMA programme.

• Selection of the communities’ head was done by the communities and acknowledged by the

relevant government authorities. Although in some cases, there is small number of villagers, who

is not favored with the elected head.

• Information dissemination to the other communities though their communities’ internal meeting,

by the respective head of villages.

• Participatory mapping was carried out during the early stage where three villages have claimed

that each village.

• The negotiation process was facilitated by government official (Dinas Perkebunan Kabupaten

Ketapang), which allow the discussion and common agreement was achieved, supported by

adequate management plan, especially to address the social issues in PT KPAM.

Conclusions

From the verification and evaluation process, FPIC related-activities were carried out especially

dealing with the following issues

• Adequate information (on development plan, potential impacts, access to government support

and etc) was provided to the key stakeholders (especially to the local communities);

• Community participatory mapping was conducted and verified by (Dinas Perkebunan Kabupaten

Ketapang), showing the area that is utilized by three villages (as shown in Map 13);

• Access to guideline and advise from the relevant government authorities to support the

communities to have confidence in the negotiation process, especially to ensure 20% of the oil

palm development area, to be excised and managed for the communities in three villages.

25 | P a g e

• PT KPAM allowed the community to select their respective head of communities, to be involved

in the HCS assessment identification and also in developing management measures for each of

the issues that were raised by the communities.

• The negotiation process is facilitated by 3rd party which is Dinas Perkebunan Kabupaten Ketapang.

Communities are free to provide inputs, recommendations and to play important role in the

development plan of PT KPAM.

Recommendations

In order to ensure that FPIC is always integrated during the implementation of the oil palm

development plan including the implementation management plan to address social issues, there is a

need to

• Improve the FPIC practices in all stages especially during the implementation of Two management

plans as described in Table 8 and Table 9 of this document;

• Ensure that “Standard Operation Procedure” to implement FPIC is developed especially dealing

with the communities in developing the 20% of the oil palm plantation;

• Improve communication with Public Affair Department and other relevant agencies (at landscape

approach level) on PT KPAM’s plan to protect, manage and conserve the conservation areas that

was identified in the ICLUP; and

• Improve the documentation process in order to capture the activities and also the feedbacks that

are given by the communities for future reference and verification.

• Continue to socialize the output of the ICLUP to the relevant government department and

community in order to get continued support and co-operation from them in the future.

3.2 Summary of Social Impact Assessment (if any)

The implementation of the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is carried out based on the following

rules or principles:

a. Participatory mapping - also called community-based mapping - is a general term used to define a

set of approaches and techniques that combines the tools of modern cartography with participatory

methods to represent the spatial knowledge of local communities. Community is invited to provide

input and recommendation in the form of mapping exercise.

b. Multi-party: Multi-party initiatives involving issues identification, which is aiming at environmental

sustainability and social equity, face complex tensions between institutionalized decision-makers,

backed up by expert knowledge, and communities with locally embedded knowledge and interests.

c. Rapid and Ex-ante: Rapid identification of issues and extraction of information which is based on

forecast against tendencies/changes rather than based on accurate factual data as a solution to the

limitations of the approach in Social Impact Assessment, including limited available timeframe.

d. Appreciative: identification of issues and key information, that is not limited only to the gaps

identification but also to explore expectations, ideas, potential solutions to the social issues.

e. Social Learning Cycle: Social Impact Assessment is conducted through the cycle scanning process,

where new knowledge is created through problem-solving activities as a respond to the environmental

changes that occurred.

The implementation stages in the field includes:

1. Introduction Meeting: Introduction meeting was held with the company (represented by the

management of plantation and mill). In this meeting, an orientation approach was used to facilitate

the field activities; socialization of Social Impact Assessment, the identification of relevant parties,

scheduling and technical preparation of the fieldwork;

2. Stakeholders Mapping and Field Scoping was carried out to obtain preliminary data accordance to

the perceptions of key operational and executing stakeholders.

3. Field observations: carried out on locations where issues or social impacts arise or occurred, as well

as other locations, which deemed important to find facts on the ground as an indication of changes,

including taking photographs. This method is used to understand the ground conditions and facts

which could be used to identify the potential social impacts

4. In-depth Interviews: Interviews were conducted with the operational executives of the company,

formal and informal leaders, government officials (village, sub-district and district) and community

members from various professions and social strata around the company's operations. This method

aims to explore and acquire a deeper understanding of the issues that arise conducted in-depth

interviews with key figures, the informant was selected based on their knowledge or parties who are

directly affected.

29 | P a g e

5. Focus Group Discussion or FGD: Discussion was carried out with employee representatives and the

plantation. This method is used to identify the relevant parties, relevant issues, determine the

expectations, ideas and aspirations for suitable solutions through series of meetings (both formal and

non-formal) and focuses on specific topics.

6. Document Review: relevant information is obtained from the documents provided by the company

as well as other documents from other relevant sources that is available on site, as guidance to

understand the social and environmental context;

7. Closing Meeting: Draft of final findings was presented to all relevant management team of the

company, feedbacks were received and amendments and recommendations is done.

Data Analysis Methods and Information

The findings from the field were then analysed to understand more on their mutual relationship, and

then synthesized to draw the conclusions. A framework for analysis of the results was developed

using criteria that have relevance to the social aspects of sustainability as well as changes in

elements of the asset pentagon. In addition, impact analysis was also conducted with respect to the

guidelines regarding the size of the impact. Each issue has a significant impact on the described

circumstances and elements of the asset pentagon.

Socio-economic impacts to country, region and local communities.

The Social Impact Assessment document reported that the economic structure of Ketapang District in

2013 is dominated by three economic sectors, which is (i) agricultural, (ii) trade-hotel-restaurant, (iii)

mining industry. Development of oil palm plantation such as PT. KPAM, will contribute to the economy

of the country and specifically to the district which in turn will increase the contribution of the

agricultural sector towards economic growth.

During the development of the plantation, 3 (three) potential positive impacts and 2 (two) potential

negative impacts for the local communities.

Potential positive impacts include:

(i) Creation of job opportunities and business opportunities (financial capital);

(ii) Improvement of accessibility through development of road & infrastructure (physical capital);

(c) Increase in community income from smallholder partnership agreement (financial capital).

Potential negative impacts include

(i) Decrease in the total area of land that can be managed or utilized by the community; and

(ii) Degradation of the water quality in the adjacent swamps and rivers (especially within the

Berais River. This will indirect affect the source of income for the nearby community who is

depended on the fisheries as source of living (natural capital).

Other potential risks and conflicts that may occurred during the development of the oil palm

plantation in KPAM include;

(i) Sporadic land fire within the PT. KPAM area (which is due to illegal hunting activity)

30 | P a g e

(ii) Land disputes or claims by the local communities due to uncertainty of the land utilization

boundary;

(iii) Long engagement process during the establishment of partnership agreement between

community and PT KPAM, due to inconsistent payment scheme.

Socio-economic Impacts in Respect of Emergent Communities (Workers, Suppliers and etc)

The minimum wage at the district level in Ketapang is about IDR 1.5 million per month. Recently, the

government has decided that for the agricultural sector, the company shall provide the minimum

wage of IDR 1.578 million per month to the workers. The company had also stated that the process of

recruitment of the workers, all local villages, who had agreed to release their land to the company

(through compensation) will be given priority to become workers of PT KPAM.

The potential impact identified also includes the increase of potential income for suppliers especially

those that will have partnership and sub-contract agreements with the company. About 20% of the

land area that is released by each of the villages, for palm oil plantation development purposes, will

be designated as smallholder scheme programme.

Issues raised by stakeholders and assessor’s comments

Based on the interviews and discussions with the specific group of communities, several issues are

raised as follows:

a. Community of Desa Danau Buntar considered that PT. KPAM had not shown any interest in

developing the palm oil plantation, in partnership with local villagers due to the distance of PT.

KPAM from the village. Nursery establishment also not flexible due to the road condition.

b. Increase of river pollution due to the oil palm effluence that is release from the mills

c. land compensation process and area designated for scheme smallholder, should be managed

transparently (if any).

Based on the issues and findings of the social impact assessment, the following recommendations

were made:

a. Develop a specific policy direction and strategy for social engagement and management as basis

for all the social activities implemented by the company

b. Develop a social development and management plan, highlighting the potential social impacts

(including priority social issues), with proper management measures.

c. Formulate a transparent land compensation scheme (if any) and a partnership scheme with the

nearby or relevant local communities, which follow the FPIC process in land

compensation/acquisition (if any).

d. Facilitate the establishment of relevant cooperatives that can help to enhance the capacity

building of the local communities.

e. Develop an effective communication strategy for all stakeholders. This could be developed

through the formation of outreach programme or platform that can enhance the interaction

between the stakeholders and communities.

31 | P a g e

f. Ensure that any land development of clearing activities during the development of oil palm

plantation in KPAM, will not affect the swamps ecosystem and the Berais river network (which

caused by water pollution and sedimentation).

All the above issues were addressed in the Management Plan that was highlighted in table 8 and Table

9 of this document.

Management Plan to Address Current and Future Community-Relate Issues

The following table 8 shows the required actions and activities that was consulted and to be carried

out in order to establish a sustainable partnership programme with the local community that is living

in the surrounding area of PT. KPAM.

Table 9 also shows the required actions and activities that was planned to ensure the sources of

environmental pollution is reduced and managed sustainably. This will further help to maintain the

quality of the Brais River ecosystem, where this river ecosystem is identified by the communities as

their key source for protein (fish and other riverine food sources etc).

The following stakeholders was involved during the early stage of the assessment, most of them will

be expected to become the members or stakeholders during the implementation of the Management

Plan, which include

1. Government Officer in Charge of Environment and Agriculture: Forestry Service (Dinas Kehutanan,

Agriculture and Plantation Service (Dinas Pertanian dan Perkebunan), Environmental Service

(Badan Lingkungan Hidup/BLHD), and Police (Kepolisian Resort).

2. Local government representative at Kabupaten and Village Level: Representative of Kecamatan

Manis Mata and Kendawanan, Head and community representative of Jambi, Sukaramai, and

Danau Buntar.

3. Other adjacent stakeholders such as APP, BMJ and etc.

4. NGOs such as Aid Environment, GAIA and relevant Universiti (UNTAN).

Summary Report link to HCV PT KPAM

The coverage of the HCV assessment, is not only cover the area of IUP PT. KPAM (11,001 ha) but also

covering additional area with a size of 3,573 ha. This area includes peat land moratorium area (western

side), Belida Lake, the production forest (northern side), the development plan area (KSCT) of

Manismata Subdistrict and the riparian buffer of Jelai river and Brais river. In total, the HCV assessment

was carried out in an area of 14,574 ha.

The HCV assessment was carried out in two stages where (i) The first field survey was conducted in

April/May 2015, covering the bigger areas with a total area of 14,574 ha; The second field survey was

conducted in March to April 2016, covers the IUP area (11,001 hectares). The area consists of two

polygons and separated by the Brais River and a 100-meter width de riparian area on the left and right

side.

Administratively, the IUP is located in Danau Buntar village, Kendawangan Subdistrict and Sukaramai

village, Manismata Subdistrict of Ketapang District, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The area is

located at N - 1110055’20” E – 111007’00” E and 2042’20” S - 2049’00” S. The boundary area of PT.

KPAM is bordered with: (i) the development area of the Danau Buntar village, PT UAI palm oil

plantation, production forest (HP), and the development plan area of Manismata Subdistrict (KSCT) in

the north; (ii) the riparian buffer of Jelai River, production forest, and the moratorium peat land area

in the south; the moratorium peat land area and PT BSS in the west; (iv) the riparian buffer of Jelai

River, which is also the border between Kalimantan Barat and Kalimantan Tengah, in the east.

Based on field observation and assessment, there were only 5 (five) identified HCV categories, i.e. HCV

1, HCV 3, HCV 4, HCV 5, and HCV6. HCV 2 is not found in the project area. Table 21 shows the HCV

identification summary in PT. KPAM area.

HCV 1: Species diversity

HCV1 is present in the PT. KPAM area and its surroundings. The project area has at least three criteria

(out of six criteria that is stated in Brown et al., 2013), namely

(i) Populations of multiple endemic or RTE species;

(ii) Important populations or a great abundance of individual endemic or RTE species,

representing a substantial proportion of the regional, national/global population.

(iii) Small populations of individual endemic or RTE species, in cases where the national, regional

or global survival of that species is critically dependent on the area in question.

(i) Populations of multiple endemic or RTE species

The following RTE species was found, and their status is based on the latest IUCN status, which is (i)

orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus / CR), (ii) owa (Hylobates albibarbis / EN), (iii) bekantan (Nasalis larvatus

/ EN), and (iv) rusa (Cervus unicolor). Other RTE Species that are protected by government regulations

includes (i) kijang (Muntiacus muntjak), (ii) pelanduk (Tragulus javanicus), and (iii) Napoh (Tragulus

napu). The RTE bird species according to the IUCN are bangau tongtong (Leptoptilos javanicus);

whereas, according to CITES and the Indonesian government are elang bondol (Haliastur indus), elang

laut perut putih (Haliaeetus leucogaster), elang tikus (Elanus caeruleus), betet ekor panjang (Psittacula

longicauda), kangkareng hitam (Anthracoceros malayanus), kangkareng perut putih (Anthracoceros

albirostris), and several species of cranes and cangak. The RTE species of the herpetofauna taxa

according to the IUCN are buaya sinyolong (Tomistoma schlegelii/VU), bidawang (Orlitia

borneensis/VU), kura batok (Coura amboinensis/VU), and labi-labi (Amyda cartilaginea/VU). Four

species also have CITES conservation status, while those according to Indonesian laws and regulations

are estuarine crocodiles (Crocodilus porosus). The existence of these species was found in the

remaining fragmented peat swamp forests, riparian riverine forest along Jelai River, Belida lake, and

other riparian areas along the small rivers located within the PT. KPAM area.

The RTE and endemic of plants species found in peat forest according to IUCN are perepat

(Combretocarpus rotundatus/VU), pantung (Dyera polyphylla/VU), ramin (Gonystylus bancanus/VU),

belangiran (Shorea balangeran/CR) and protected by government law is kantung semar periuk

(Nephentes ampullaria). In the heath forest, tree species that is found include resak (Cotylelobium

lanceolatum/VU), belangiran (Shorea balangeran/CR) and kantung semar (Nephentes gracilis). Tree

species such as bedaru (Cantleya corniculata/VU), ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri/VU) dan meranti putih

(Shorea bentongensis/EN) was found in the riparian areas. Other locally protected species, kempas

(Koompassia malaccensis) was also found along the edge of peat forest.

(ii) Important populations or a great abundance of individual endemic or RTE species, representing

a substantial proportion of the regional, national or global population which are needed to

maintain viable populations

Spatial and temporal species concentrations are present in the riparian of Brais river and Jelai River.

The area is suitable habitat for a migratory bird, especially for breeding site Several migratory birds

encountered consist of species with global and regional distribution. According to IUCN (2017), several

species of birds with global distribution encountered are (i) cangak abu (Ardea cinerea), (ii) cangak

38 | P a g e

merah (Ardea purpurea), (iii) kuntul kecil (Egretta garzetta), (iv) kuntul kerbau (Bubulcus ibis), (v) dara

laut (Sterna hirundo), (vi) dara laut jambul (Thalasseus bergii), and (vii) kapinis rumah (Apus affinis).

Bird species that are present in a regional distribution include bangau tongtong (Leptoptilos javanicus)

which spread from South India to Indonesia.

(iii) Small populations of individual endemic or RTE species, in cases where the national, regional or

global survival of that species is critically dependent on the area in question.

The presence of animals that are classified under RTE species is found in the project area with small

population, specifically in the remaining fragmented forest, i.e. (i) owa (Hylobates albibarbis / EN)

population in the fragmented peat forest and the (ii) orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus / CR) in the

fragmented riparian forest along Jelai River.

HCV 2: Landscape-level ecosystems and mosaics

HCV2 was not found in the PT. KPAM area and its surrounding areas. PT. KPAM area with a size of

11,001 ha is relatively close to the residential areas, transportation access, and oil palm cultivation

area. This area has been degraded due to forest fires, logging, excessive hunting, and land clearing,

thus PT. KPAM has no longer contains a HVC no 2. According to the Intact Forest Landscape (IFL) maps

(www.intactforests.org), PT KPAM's area is not included in the Intact Forest landscape network. PT.

KPAM is actually isolated and not connected to any of the nearest IFL. However, within this project

area, there remaining ecosystem include peat swamp forests, forests, and riparian forests.

HCV 3: Ecosystems and habitats

HCV3 was found in the PT. KPAM area and its surroundings. All remaining forest in the PT. KPAM area

is considered as HCV 3 area. Peat forest is naturally rare because it depends on hydrology and soil type

features. Heath forest depends on soil type and riparian forest depends on hydrological features. All

the remaining forest are also anthropogenically rare, which could be threated by hunting, fishing and

illegal burning activities. Land clearing for oil palm plantation development may also threatening the

remaining forest areas. Peat forest ecosystems is protected by at least three (3) Acts, namely (i) Act

No. 26/2007 on spatial land allocation, (ii) Act No. 32/2009 on Protection and Management of Living

Environment and (iii) the Government Regulation No. 71/2014 on Protection and Management of Peat

Ecosystem.

HCV 4: Ecosystem services

HCV4 was found and recorded in the PT. KPAM area and its surrounding areas. All the rivers and

riparian reserve (areas) provide an ecological function as a natural drainage (Brais river, Jelai River,

Paduempat River, Brais Kapat River, and Tangguk River), so that upstream and downstream flow could

be maintained naturally.

The presence of vegetation in riparian areas also functioning to maintain water quality characteristics,

control erosion of river banks, hence provide protection for the fisheries. The wider rivers such as Brais

River and Jelai River with larger dampened riparian have the function of a natural barrier that can

39 | P a g e

prevent the expansion of land fires.

Peat forests and heath forests can mitigate the extreme water flows that would have caused flooding

in the downstream area. Peat forest and riparian forest also play its function as a natural barrier that

could prevent the expansion of land fires. The existence of pollination service was also determined by

the presence of Kempas trees, where these trees are normally used as a nesting ground for pollinating

bees. This tree can be normally found along the edge of the peat forest.

The ecosystem services such as provision of clean water, stabilizing steep slope, controlling erosion,

protection against winds, and the regulation of humidity, rainfall and other climatic elements were

deemed not present. The communities normally get their sources of clean water wells. Most of the

area in PT. KPAM has a flat terrain, thus the risk of land erosion is not significant.

HCV 5: Community needs

HCV5 was not found or present in the PT. KPAM’s concession area. Based on the interviews with local

communities, most of the HCV5 areas located outside of the concession area, which is located at the

downstream. However, in order to ensure that the HCV5 that is located at the downstream area is not

degraded or affected, the riparian area and floodplain area that is located at the upper stream along

Brais River (located within the concession area) need to be maintained and protected.

Although the fishermen in the Brais River claim that there are other alternative livelihoods and Brais

river is not the only place to harvest fish, but it is very important to make sure the ecosystem along

the Brais River, could be conserved and protected, in order to ensure that the HCV5 area at the lower

stream could be protected from any pollution. Therefore, Brais can be designated as part of the HCV5.

These areas have important values as a source of livelihood to meet people's basic needs. The reasons

for determining these important values are: (i) fishing in the Brais river will be the last option for the

local community if they are unable to obtain other sources of income, (ii) other alternative livelihood

such as carpentry or become labour to build construction, transportation services, farmers and

plantation workers are not necessarily available at all times, and (iii) Currently, the Brais River is the

main transportation route between Danau Buntar Village and Sukaramai town.

HCV 6: Cultural values

HCV6 was found to be present in the concession area. Based on the participatory mapping, the local

people of Danau Buntar, Sukaramai and Jambi Village claim that area which is important for their

cultural and traditional practices within the PT KPAM area. However, within the concession area of PT

KPAM, kangkareng bird habitat is present, especially in the peat forest. According to the Dayak tribe,

this bird has a cultural and sacred values. For the Dayak community, kangkerang bird is a symbol of

ideal leader and also a symbol of peace and unity.

Although the community nearby PT KPAM is dominated by Melayu tribe, but the existence of hornbills

is important for the Dayak tribe on the regional level of the island of Borneo, as well as those outside

the island of Borneo. Thus, it can be concluded that HCV6 is present within the PT KPAM area,

40 | P a g e

especially the peat forest.

Other HCV6 values which is common includes young coconut leaves that is normally used to make

“ketupat” during the muslim or islamic festival. Cemeteries is located in the Danau Buntar, Jambi and

Sukaramai villages but this is outside the PT. KPAM concession area. Public consultation with the

community was carried out using two approaches, i.e. (i) formal meetings and (ii) interviews. Formal

meetings were conducted in each village.

The first public consultation was conducted in Danau Buntar Village on 27 April 2015 with 22

participants, attended by the Village Head of Danau Buntar, Chairman of BPD, Head of Dusun Tebing

Tinggi, Kendawangan district representative, community leaders, Melayu indigenous leader,

Babinkamtibmas (Bintara pembinanaan dan keamanan ketertiban masyarakat), KPAM management,

and Aksenta team.

The second public consultation was conducted in Jambi Village on 18 March 2016 with 11 participants,

attended by the Head of Jambi village, Chairman and members of BPD and community leaders.

Third public consultation was conducted in Sukaramai village on 19 March 2016 with 8 participants,

attended by Head of Sukaramai Village, Chairman and members of BPD, community leaders, and

Aksenta Team.

Public consultation in Jambi and Sukaramai villages was carried out using the focus group discussion

(FGD) method. Community consultations through face-to-face interviews were also conducted in the

field, i.e. with fishermen in the Brais river, community leaders, villagers, and management of PT.

KPAM.

The Aksenta team presented materials for discussion in the public consultations. These materials

include: (i) understanding of HCV in the context of oil palm plantation development; (ii) the scope of

HCV study in the PT. KPAM area; (iii) supporting maps for HCV studies in PT KPAM area; (iv) field data

and information obtained during field survey, and (v) the interim results and HCV maps (drafts-1 for

first public consultation and draft-2 for the second and third public consultation). On issues related to

HCV in the area of PT KPAM, the community provided input and information about the Brais river,

land fires, forest remnants, orangutans, livelihoods, and employment. Some issues on community land

allocation and village boundaries were also discussed. Land resource utilization issue is a common

issue that is highlighted by the local community as this issue could affect their daily livelihood.

Stakeholder consultations were conducted during HCV assessment until the stage of finalizing the

report. The consultation process includes face-to-face interview and communication through email

and Skype. Key stakeholders such as NGOs (Proforest, IAR and FFI), academics/researchers (IPB),

government (BKSDA), HCV assessors, and management of PT BMJ and PT UAI was involved during the

finalization of the HVC report.

Field Assessments

Typical primary data collection and assessment was categorized into two parts, namely (i)

Environmental data (HVC No 1 to HVC No 4) and (ii) Social / socio-economic data (HVC No 5 and HVC

No 6). Most of the data also collected from the

In general, field activities are conducted to verify the desktop studies such as land cover, data

collection on the species information, ecosystem type, land physiographic, soil type, hydrological

characteristics, socioeconomic and cultural conditions. Field activities were divided into six types of

HCV into 3 study groups, namely: (i) biodiversity, landscape and ecosystem (HCV 1-3), (ii) ecosystem

services (HCV 4), and (iii) socio-economic and cultural (HCV 5-6).

Field activities for HCV1-3: biodiversity, landscape and ecosystem; Field observations include one or

more of the following characteristics: (i) natural ecosystems that include rare or endangered

ecosystems; (ii) natural ecosystems that are part of the ecological landscape; (iii) rare or endangered,

endemic or limited-range wildlife species; (iv) areas potentially used temporally by wildlife for

migration, migration routes, corridors, including refugium areas; and (v) habitat connectivity.

The identification of wildlife’s presence is based on one or more of the following field indicators: (i)

spotted, (ii) sounds, (iii) traces or abandoned signs (e.g. treads above ground, scratches on tree trunks,

dirt, nest, remnants of body parts such as outer shell/scales / feathers/hair, skull, horns, fangs, or

other recognizable body parts). Information on the presence of animal wildlife species was also

obtained from interviews with local people (e.g. hunters, farmers, fishermen). Identification of plant

species using observations in the sample plots. Within each observation plot consists of 5 subplots to

record plant species according to the diameter of the tree at breast height (dbh), i.e. (i) sub-plot 40x40

meters for dbh > 35 cm, (ii) sub-plot 20x20 meters for dbh 20 (Iv) 5x5 meter sub-plot for dbh 2-10 cm

and (v) 1x1 meter sub-plot for the species at the seedling level, shrubs and herbaceous. The results of

this plant analysis are also used to describe the ecosystem condition and land cover verification.

Field activities for HCV4: ecosystem services; Data collection in the field is to verify the presence of

HCV attributes or ecosystem services within the study area. Observations were conducted on aspects

of land cover, land physiography, soil type, hydrological characteristics, land fire marks, microclimate

and proxy indicators for pollinators. For effectiveness and consistency, the basic questions to be

answered from each observed object are the role, value, function, and benefits of ecosystem services,

so they are essential for conservation.

Field activities for HCV5-6: socio-economic and cultural; Participatory field assessment was carried out

through the process of High Conservation Value (HCV) assessment, where communities were invited

to the consultation session to map out the area that is related to the communities, which is component

HVC 5 and component HVC 6 (Socio-economics and Cultural). Field assessment’s activities includes

semi-structured interview in a “Focus Group Discussion” (FGD), and mapping exercise by the

community in each of the village. This is followed by field observation activities in order to gather or

verify the current land use on the ground. Consultation and discussion focuses on three issues: (i)

utilization status of natural and land resources within the proposed project areas, (ii) magnitude of

the utilization including purpose, and (iii) current management pattern for the utilization of natural

resources and land resources. The details of the HCVs assessment are shown in Table 11.

5. Environmental Impact Assessment

5.1 Summary

Methodology and Process

The methodologies that is used in the Environment Impact Assessment comprises

(i) Primary Data Collection

(ii) Secondary Data collection

(iii) Analysis of the potential impact

Primary data collection: Primary data was collected through surveys and observations for biological,

physical, and chemical parameters; and social, economic, cultural, and public health information

through focus group discussions and individual interviews with the stakeholders including the local

communities.

Secondary data collection: Data was collected either through a secondary data from relevant research

results, or other studies within the same industry and region, as well as data from relevant

government authorities. Data on physical & chemical components were collected which include air

quality, noise levels, surface water quality, soil properties, climate, and rainfall. Biological components

that is collected, include flora and fauna diversity, while data on socio-economic and cultural

components were collected comprises population density, mortality, structure of community, race,

religion, sex ratio, livelihood, consumption pattern, income, infrastructure, gross regional product,

community institution, culture, community perception on environment and the proposed project,

social interaction, and other parameters reflecting the socio-economy & cultural conditions of the

community. Public health data components that were collected include sanitation, access to public

health and medical facility, nutrition, medical services including number of facility and medical

personnel. Based on the data collected, qualitative and quantitative analyses are developed in order

to support the identifying of the negative and positive impacts, which may have occurred during the

development of the oil palm plantation. The methodology that is used to assess the impacts is based

on the references that is available in this document “Kepka BAPEDAL No:56 in 1994.”

Outputs of the EIA

Based on the Environment Impact Assessment documents, the following list of impacts are

expected, and the impacts could be categorized into three components as follows:

1. Physical and Chemical Environment Impact

a. Decrease in ambient air quality;

b. Increase in noise level;

c. Decrease in water surface quality

d. Land subsidence

e. Physiographical changes

f. Changes in drainage pattern

g. Risk of land fire

2. Biological Impact

a. Decrease in flora diversity

b. Decrease in fauna diversity

47 | P a g e

c. Water biota species diversity

3. Social, Economy and Community Health Impact

a. Increase in economic activity

b. Increase in community income

c. Changes in community behavioral pattern

d. Social conflict

e. Decrease in community health level

The evaluation of the major and significant impact on environmental component is summarized in the

following Table 13. The result of a holistic assessment or study describes various significant impact

arising from the development of PT Kalimantan Prima Agro Mandiri oil palm and mill industry at Manis

Mata subdistrict of Kendawangan district on West Kalimantan Province. The potential impacts is

examined as unified interrelated entity, based on forecast of significant important impact that can

arise within the scope of time and space established.

6. Land cover image analysis

6.1 Area of Interest and how it was defined

Area of Interest (AOI) for the land cover assessment is PT KPAM area is located or highlighted,

including the areas that is located 1 Km from the PT. KPAM. It is necessary to identify the land cover

in a larger scale, to enable the identification of other connectivity within the forest landscape.

6.2 Description of images used for classification

The satellite imagery that was used to classify the land cover is gathered from Landsat 8 with path/row

120/62, spatial resolution at 30 m, combination band at 654, taken by the satellite on March 12, 2016

(refer to Map 8). The cloud cover of the imagery is less than 5%.

6.3 Sample image

Below is the Landsat 8 Satellite image (acquired on March 12, 2016)

49 | P a g e

6.4 Method of stratification and software used

Land cover assessment is done using the combination of supervised classification method and visual

interpretation. Satellite image used is Landsat satellite image with combination band 6, 5, and 4 (false

colour)

Interpretation results are categorized into further into vegetation class, such as Young Regenerating

Forest (YRF), Shrub (S), Bush (B), Shrub-bush, and Bare land or Open Land (OL). Software that was used

is ArcGIS 10.3 with image classification toolbar. Other supporting software include (i) Global Mapper

15, and (ii) ArcView GIS 3.3. Land cover classification results are then verified by ground-check and

followed by carbon stock estimation assessment activity.

6.7 Summary of which areas are potential HCS forest, subject to further analysis

Potential HCS area consists of YRF, which is located in the western part of study area. The YRF area is

old thicket in peatland, which is spread across three locations with < 100 ha polygon each.

The description of the land cover classification is shown in the following Table 15.

Table 15: Physical description of the land cover that is defined in the classification process.

Land cover Classification

Physical description of the land cover, e.g. species mix, forest type (pioneer, regenerating, primary etc.), diameter distribution, structural indices, maturity indices, etc.

Open Land This area is an open area due to previous land fire and other activities that involve removal of vegetation cover.

Bush This area is grassland, burnt bushes, and dessert. Types of grass found are Digitaria sp, Eragrotis sp, and Kyllinga sp.

Scrub Vegetation diversity with DBH > 2 cm, categorizes as low-medium with Shannon-Wienner average index 1.3 (0.8-2.1). Relatively dry areas have lower diversity than relatively wet areas. Types with relatively high density are kenasian (Zyzygium zeylanicum) and pansulan (Pternandra coerulescens). In this area, there are ferns, Eleocharis dulcis, croissant grass (Cyperus sp), and several seedling groups with DBH < 2 cm, such as Alstonia scholaris and Macaranga pruinosa.

Young Regenerating Forest

There is peat area in the north-west of study area. Plant biodiversity in this area is categorized as medium with Shannon-Wiener diversity index 1.69 (1.39-1.99) and there are 19 types of trees with DBH > 2 cm. Dominant vegetations are Melanorrhoea wallichii, Madhuca motleyana, Combretocarpus rotundatus, and Ploiarium alternifolium.

7. Forest inventory results

7.1 Inventory sample design and plot rational

The number of observation plots in the field is carried out accordingly to vegetation cover stratification

result. Random sampling is not proportionally conducted in order to include small-sized vegetation

cover in the sample. Sampling was done in June 2014, while satellite image used was acquired in

March 2016; thus, there is a potential bias in the result due to possible succession or loss of vegetation

in the time difference. Therefore, sample monitoring and Carbon Stock evaluation are also used as

reference to estimate carbon stock. Those activities are conducted together with field survey in this

assessment.

The carbon stock assessment within the PT KPAM was conducted based on three main categories of

carbon source as referred in IPCC (2006). This include 1. AGB – Above Ground Biomass and BGB –

Below Ground Biomass; 2. Neuromas and litters, and 3. Soil carbon. Due to the estimation of carbon

using Neuromas and litter has bias and very high uncertainty, it was not included in the carbon stock

assessment.

After the land cover classification process, field sampling plot is conducted in order to estimate the

carbon stock in PT KPAM. Sampling plot method that was used is stratified random sampling, where

every class of vegetation cover has three plots, which is randomly chosen. Each sampling plot has an

observation row to make three measurement blocks. In every plot, there exists a sub-plot with various

measurements to calculate various vegetation objects, such as Diameter at Breast High. Map 10 shows

the distribution location of the sampling plots in PT KPAM. Globally, the estimated carbon value uses

0.47 from the values of biomass and necro mass (IPCC, 2006).

7.4 Methodology used for forest sampling

Sampling method used is stratified random sampling. Every class of vegetation cover has three plots

chosen randomly. Each randomly taken plot will have an observation row to make three measurement

blocks. In every plot, there exists a sub-plot with various measurements to calculate various vegetation

objects, such as Diameter at Breast High.

The following Table 16 shows the type of vegetation including size of dbh that need to be recorded in

each of the sub-plot.

Table 16: Type of vegetation or size of dbh that need to be recorded in each sub-plot

Size of sub-plot Vegetation Object/biomass sample

2 x 2 meter Herbal, bush, litters, and seedlings with diameter at breast height 2 to 10 cm

5 x 5 meter Liana plants, palms, trees with 5-10 cm DBH, and dead trees with the same diameter

10 x 10 meter All trees with 10-20 cm DBH, dead trees with the same measurement, and 10-30 cm diameter logs

20 x 20 meter All trees with 20-35 cm DBH, dead trees with the same measurements, and > 30 cm diameter logs

40 x 40 meter All trees with DBH >35 cm

The estimation of carbon stock for PT KPAM was separated into (i) AGB for all above ground vegetation

and (ii) AGB for vegetation with DBH ≥ 5 cm. The finding of the carbon stock estimation stated that

the total carbon stock within PT KPAM is 4,698 Gg-C or in average 199 ton-C/ha. While the estimated

total carbon stock if the AGB is taken into account (from the vegetation stand with DBH ≥ 5 cm) is

4,644.8 Gg-C or an average of 196.7ton C/ha.

7.7 Statistical analysis (allometric used, confidence tests, justification)

Allometric equations used in carbon stock inventory assessment in PT KPAM mainly refers to

“Pedoman Penggunaan Model Alometrik untuk Pendugaan Biomassa dan Stok Karbon Hutan

Indonesia (Peraturan Kepala Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Kehutanan No.P.01/VIII-

P3KR/2012), Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Konservasi dan Rehabilitasi-Badan Penelitian dan

Pengembangan Kehutanan, Kementerian Kehutanan Republik Indonesia”.

Several other credible references on allometric equation are also used to complete and increase

accuracy of calculation in this assessment. Additionally, not all types of trees have allometric equation,

thus similarity in ecosystem is used instead.

The estimation of Carbon Stock may have some uncertainty of error. The error can be occurred at any

stage such as land cover classification, vegetation stratification, plot sampling design, field

measurements, allometric calculation, laboratory testing, and extrapolation onto land level. Thus,

IPCC GPG (2003) recommended that the error be calculated using the following formulae:

𝑈(%) =0.5 (𝐶𝐼95%)

𝑦100%

Where: U (%) = uncertainty in %

CI95% = Confidence interval at 95% level

y = average carbon stock

The value can be derived for every class after all stages have been conducted. The following Table 20,

shows the estimated Carbon Stock of AGB (Ton-C/Ha) in PT-KPAM

Table 20: shows the estimated Carbon Stock of AGB (Ton-C/Ha) in PT-KPAM

The average AGB carbon stock in PT KPAM, based on the vegetation sampling, per unit area is 15.35

ton/ha. The average carbon stock for oil palm plantation in one production cycle, is estimated 60-80

ton/ha (Roqi, 2000). Therefore, the carbon stock value is fairly low or is in the range of shrub class.

The accuracy of the land cover classification was carried out using the Kappa Accuracy method. The

following Table 21 show the overall accuracy of the land cover classification, which is 98.64%.
