Perempuan dan Kesadaran Arti Pohon: Studi Kasus Etnobotani

Abstract

The issue of global warming resulting from carbon emissions of greenhouse gas is a concern for nations in
the world including Indonesia. The Indonesian government has launched several programs for mitigation, including planting trees in urban areas. In 2007, Indonesia introduced Women Planting Trees and Management, Women
Planting Trees Movements and Food Resilience Program (GPT-PKP), and other programs. Research explored the
program implementation in Indonesia by collecting data and analyzing women's knowledge, perceptions, awareness,
and actions for planting trees and their management. Surveys were conducted for data on the meaning of trees
socially, economically, and environmentally. After completion surveys, the good participants were interviewed deeply and observed to prove their genuine awareness and action for planting and maintaining trees in their daily lives. Research revealed planting trees did not provide social and economic benefits. Trees taproots damaged walls and buildings, leaves made yards dirty, and lack of appreciation for being an environmentally friendly person by planting trees.
