Low Emission Development (LED) Initiative as Part of Maintaining Local Ecosystem Services in Tanjung Jabung Barat (Tanjabar) District, Province of Jambi, Indonesia

Abstract

Land use planning is an effort in realizing land use type in the future. Future land use associated with social actors in complying their needs. Land use decision determines the type of ecosystem services to be accepted by the social actors, but on the other hand the need for ecosystem services will determine land use decisions. It is very important matters about relationship between ecosystem services and land use. It requires method to conduct a land use planning efforts to maintain environmental services in a region. Low emissions development exert implementation of development activities directed in controlling carbon emissions from land use change activities. Development of low-emission is closely related to land-based efforts to maintain the presence of trees and tree biomass sector in the landscape. The control system is one of effort in maintaining ecosystem services. LUWES is a framework to formulate future land use recommendations related to the efforts in controlling carbon emissions, which is one component in environmental services. LUWES uses of generic concepts used by the IPCC in climate change mitigation that can be responsible scientifically. LUWES fit well with the use of local data with higher accuracy, as well as community involvement in the process of building and land use solutions in the future
