Ethnobotany Contributes to The Understanding Human Relationship with Plant and Their Environment.... more Ethnobotany Contributes to The Understanding Human Relationship with Plant and Their Environment. The scope of ethnobotanical research has been developed to a broader scope from the originated word of ethnobotany was coined.. This discipline attempts to explain reciprocal relationships which occur between local societies and its natural world, in extant, between local societies and their cultures that reflected in the archeological records. Ethnobotany is also very closely related to the domestication of plants such as the species domesticated, where these species domesticated, the purpose of domestication, the manner, and the status of the domesticated plants today. Etnobothany also concerns to the role of plants in ecology, environment and phytogeography as conceived by tradition or by the local communities. In addition to its traditional role in economic botany and the exploration of human cognition, ethnobotanical research has been applied to the practical areas such as biodiversity prospecting and vegetation management. Thus ideally, ethnobotany should includes rules and categorization acknowledged by local communities. Rules and categorization are use to appropriately facing daily social situations in recognizing, interpreting and utilizing plant resources in their environment. In summary, the scope of research in ethnobotany is interdisciplinary and ethnoscience as mentioned earlier and these scopes will be the main focus of discussion in this article. In particular, in its relation to the strategic position of Indonesia based on wealth, diversity of plants, species and ecosystems and socio-cultural life.

Meskipun manusia sebenarnya muncul setelah bentukbentuk kehidupan lainnya, namun pada kenyataannya, manusia telah mengalami evolusi sebagai makluk yang paling sempurna. Karena evolusi seperti itu, manusia dapat mengembangkan peradaban sehingga mampu mengubah gaya hidupnya. Dalam hal ini, teori adaptasi dan integrasi menjadi penting dalam menjaga stabilitas hubungan antara organisme satu dengan lainnya dalam sebuah ekosistem. Dengan demikian, ekosistem dengan segala relung dan isinya adalah realitas yang dinamis dan terus menerus berubah. Dalam artikel ini akan diuraikan dan dijelaskan hubungan keterkaitan antara kebudayaan di Indonesia dalam konteks konservasi sumberdaya alam dalam studi ekologi manusia (human ecology).

In total there are 10 morphological variations found, each with a local (vernacular) name.The local nomenclature used by the three tribes is in correspondence with the formal botanical nomenclature, but not identical. The result of the ethnotaxonomical study shows that the basic name equals to species name, while attribute refers to infraspecific classification.Attribute is suggested to be addressed to the category of variety in the formal (botanical) taxonomy rather than to subspecies.Ethnotaxonomy is proven to be a good alternative solution for the problems faced in the formal taxonomy.

The Calamus species has been used as the raw material of plaited art by the indigenous people of the Dayak Iban-Desa. The anatomy character was observed from the transversal section, radial section, and maceration. The main aspect has observed from this research are epidermis, vessel, and fiber dimension. Epidermis cell type, epidermis lumen type, and the number of hypodermis layer were observed as the important character to distinguish the Calamus based on epidermis character. Type of ground parenchyma, present of the canal resin, number of protoxylems, and vessel density are the important characters based on vessel character. Fiber length and fiber wall thickness are the important characters to identify the rattan species and also to predict the quality of rattan stem. The tentative identification key to rattan species has been prepared using the combination of the anatomical character.

A Mandailing tribe who lives around the BGNP, has the unique local knowledge, such as processing young stem of rattan (Calamus manan) into pakkat (traditional food) and use rimbang (Solanum torvum) to neutralize toxins. These local knowledge could be lost because it only inherited orally from generation to generation. This study was aimed to reveal ethnobotany knowledge of Mandailing Tribe. The study was conducted in November 2015 in four villages around the BGNP, Sibanggor Jae, Hutabaringin Julu, Pastap Jae, and Botung Villages. Data were collected by interviewing informants in each village as well as the field survey through two approaches, emic and etic. A total of 262 plant species is used by Mandailing Tribe for subsistence and commercial needs. The highest utilization is for food (106 species), followed by traditional medicines (81 species), firewood (29 species), building materials (35 species), and animal feed (25 species). People also used plant for household appliances, agricultural equipment, art materials, ropes and wrap, and pest control materials. Eme/rice (Oryza sativa) have the highest Index of Cultural Significance (ICS) values. The existence of this species is maintained for its local wisdom. Thus, involvement of local community will give great contribution to manage and conserve the BGNP area.

This research use ethnobotanical approach: collecting ethnobotanical data of rice varieties and traditional system of swidden cultivation. Data was obtained by using direct participatory technique by interviewing the people (key informants) about their practice and perception. The interviews were unstructured open-ended discussion on knowledge and farming activities including about diversity in rice varieties. Subsequently, quantitative data from questionnaires was combined with depth-interview data from key informants. The Benuaq indigenous systems, practices, and cultivation preferences held by the Benuaq are guarded toward maintaining their rice diversity. The Benuaq systems of upland rice cultivation, site selection for umaq establishment, plant species for fertility indicator, and cultivation of wide ranges of upland rice varieties indicate their sophisticate knowledge in agriculture. Unfortunately there has been degradation in the indigenous knowledge among the young Benuaqs.
