Abstract

This research focus on Community engagement program Desa Peduli Gambut DPG (translated as ‘Peatland Care Village’), by mitigation of forest fires and enhanced engagement community to the peatland ecological function of Pulau Tebingtinggi. But not much research evaluated the role and impact of this program. A qualitative research method involving survey and focus group discussions (FGDs) will be employed. FGDs are particularly suited for exploring complex issues by gathering diverse perspectives from participants with firsthand experience and knowledge of the subject matter. Through a comprehensive review of relevant literature, including studies on fire management, land-use practices, and socio-economic conditions in similar contexts, this research underscores the critical interplay between environmental concerns and livelihood realities. The main purpose of this study is to measure community engagement in restoration program 3R. The findings suggest that implementing community engagement, encompassing economic incentives, alternative livelihood opportunities, and targeted support for vulnerable communities, can effectively reduce the drivers of forest fires and land clearance. In conclusion, the intervention and involvement of local communities should refer to the maintenance of canal blocking, planting sago as an agricultural commodity and providing added value in local agricultural products as a focus in efforts to manage to avoid uncontrolled peatland fires.
