Abstract

This article is the result of research on environmental degradation. Forests have a very important and vital function in human life, i.e., socially, economically, and other aspects. Therefore, forests need to be preserved and utilized to ensure it sustainability. Forest destruction due to illegal logging and other causes is a complex problem to solve and has long implications that also impact the future generation. This is a general condition of forest in Indonesia, specifically in the City and District of Bima, where the impact of forest destruction can be felt during the rainy and dry season. In the rainy season, there is flash flood, heat, and air pollution, meanwhile in the dry season it has an impact on fire, drought, and lack of clean water. The results of the study found that the pattern of forest destruction in the district and city of Bima was caused by illegal logging, forest encroachment, and land conversion. It mostly triggered by economic demands, low public awareness, and lack of socialization from the authorities. From this research, it is hoped that efforts will be born to reduce disaster risk, either through policies for prevention, action, diversion and / or physical development as well as awareness and increased ability to face disaster threats in the community of City and District of Bima. The result of the study will also be beneficial to emerge some efforts to prevent the forest destruction which is carried out in the form of conducting patrols, afforestation or reforestation, and installing strut or girdle wires.
