Likewise if the direction of the Padang-Pariaman or Bukitinggi-Padangpanjang turn right at the Simpang Payo-Malalo-Paninggahan. Located alongside a lake Batur with circular road access makes Paninggahan area can be broken through some of the entrance of course. And if willing and available means of water transportation, to go Paninggahan and the surrounding area can also be done through the waterways of Lake Batur.

An area of ​​95.50 km2 is used for rice cultivation, 579 ha and 2700 ha of degraded land. Remaining land area of ​​6253 ha can be expected utilization as residential, farm / shifting cultivation, forest / village, state forests, dam / pool / pond. [1]

Paninggahan have a natural boundary region include; the northern border with Tanah Datar District, Eastside Bordered by Lake Batur, with Muaro Pingai south and west borders the district of Padang Pariaman.

Astronomically, this area is at 0.310 to 1.450 S, 100.250 to 101.410 BT. Topography is not. An undulating landscape with hills stretch from the ranks of the hill line. Like other regions in Indonesia, which has tropical climate, Paninggahan located at an altitude of 400-600 meters above sea level [2]. Temperatures shown are the temperature of 190-280 C. The average temperature reached 220 C, with an average humidity of 83% [3].

Winds in the area Paninggahan blow pretty fresh. Local people meyebutnya with upstream wind and there is also a call with the wind first. Perhaps this title diilahami from the direction of the wind which blows from west to east where the lake lies along the Eastern Region Paninggahan. Is at its peak wind gusts often result in environmental catastrophe and a disaster for the community because of trees and branches that collapsed timber.

The rainy season in Paninggahan occurs in approximately March to July, and dry February. While the transition or transition season from August to October. Rainfall looks longer than the dry season. Relatively high rainfall 1484 mm / year, with an average of 231 mm / year.

Being in the Northwest, located slope and foot Paninggahan diperbukitan, Cheryl Sirih which stretches to the south. While there is a hill west of the Great Stone which stretches to the north, toward the neighboring region Malalo Tanah Datar. Range of hills and others are part of the hill range of the line. If observed as if Paninggahan are on a fairly broad valley flanked by the second because the hill. While the East side of Lake Batur splayed into the estuary flow of various sources of water.

In Paninggahan there are several tributary streams and springs. But the only active river water flowing down to the lake Batur both the dry season is the rainy season especially Paninggahan Trunk. Stem Paninggahan across well as a natural symbol boundary between two Jorong Subarang and Parumahan. Springs are quite large and the flow of even forming a small river located in Jorong Kotobaru in Nagari Paninggahan Sub Junjung Sirih Solok regency of West Sumatra. Springs attached to the local designation Mato AIA (springs) or kapalo AIA (upstream water) is situated on the edge of the village, lined waist Junjung Sirih hill.

Both these water resources can certainly closely related to forest hill hill Junjung Sirih and other ranks with forest. Indeed Paninggahan rod and springs (kapalo AIA) located near the forest line and tipped the hill Junjung Sirih. Including rivers that drain water into Muaro Pingai and Saningbakar depend on the state of water catchment forests in the hill. Although the rivers and springs flow into place and different areas, but indicate the water upstream from the ranks of the same hills and forests.

The two main water sources in Paninggahan was utilized for the various needs of society. Trunk streams Pemanfataan Paninggahan and Mato / kapalo AIA (springs) is seen as the main source of technical irrigation and traditional irrigation farming rice as basic agricultural business population. For technical irrigation on a large scale only, stem Paninggahan the upper reaches there are two units in the hamlet Kotobasi teerletak. This technical irrigation water to paddy fields contained in the ellipse Parumahan. While irrigation is only located upstream in the hamlet of Cacang-Batua drain the water for most rice fields in the elliptic Subarang.

Belakngan also flowed into people's homes run by government and other setempat.Pemanfaatan villages are to demand the source of drinking water, cooking, bathing and washing, fishery.

Thus the existence of forests in Paninggahan be very decisive and affect a variety of needs and activities of life as well as agricultural economics community.

Local Wisdom: mirage Lasi, Inyiak Junjung Keep Our Forests

We still remember a few years ago. A horrendous event and ask a lot of attention, when the trail Solok Regent Gamawan Fauzi at the time (now Minister of Home Affairs 2009-2014) with the group declared missing 'kelelep' jungle. Where the hell da trail that starts where the goal?

A clear trail that departs from the design of the pass along Paninggahan Paninggahan-Lubuk Minturun Padang.

If it's street-Lubuk Paninggahan Minturun Padang news since the author was 'inexperienced' in the 1980s had been heard as well. Praise to the present moment 33-year-old writer was also not completed road-complete. Except from end to end, a few kilometers of the openings in Lubuk Minturun and several kilometers of openings across the road on the hillside Paninggahan Junjung Sirih. Nothing more can be said also of the field road. Even then, efforts and achievements of a Wali Nagari Ir. Fuel when it passed the middle around the year 2007.

But if if the highway-Lubuk Paninggahan Minturun it will only be access to the encroachers and the thieves forest. Better roads need not exist. Why if only facilitate the transport route and transport results of forest encroachment or illegal logging and forest hill range Junjung Sirih surrounding hills.

Various speculations and community responses Paninggahan if events get lost in the jungle forest Paninggahan Mount Junjung Sirih. Events such as that experienced by Gamawan Fauzi also often occur before-before, especially those outside who tried to cross the forest, especially students of nature lovers or people who enter the forest further. There they forget, and pass away. Questioning was not especially the young ones and come from the outside anymore. What is it if there are people who kelelep Paninggahan jungle?

According to the belief Paninggahan society, their ancestors used to live in one side of the hill Junjung Sirih it with place names Lasi. In Cheryl Hill Cheryl Inyiak Betel Betel was also the developer of this area live syiar Islam. When the time is not yet known. But make no mistake on this hill there is evidence and heritage trail Inyiak a mosque which still stands to this day. Here also there are grave Inyiak Junjung Sirih.

Lasi said can also be found by those who desired form of the signs of nature as the former old village. If anyone can find a tub Lasi existence of a mirage that will find areas of former rice fields, the equipment used by living people earlier in the form of mortar, wood debris remnants of former buildings and fields and gardens of the population. Remarkable indeed from oral stories passed down from mouth kemulut hereditary Paninggahan community.

Lasi and mosques Inyiak Junjung Sirih, kapalo Paninggahan AIA for society is triad of disakral and keramatkan. Contact with kapalo AIA means in contact with the sacred human Inyiak who had died were believed to live in a magical in kapalo AIA (springs) that. So do not occasionally do bad, evil and not-not in this place if you do not want to bala musibahnya. Community Paninggahan even beyond to make this place as the implementation of various votive / celebration when out of trouble, calamity and distress. Or when he wants to start, get something objective intent. Celebration and prayer held in kapalo AIA, bath-tub disumber nan clear water, then take to be drunk immediately and taken home.

Similarly, when in contact with the forest, then come into contact with three series at once. Lasi could have tangible forest will swallow and menghilagkan people who are corrupt, or forget where he is with the attitudes and behavior. Cheryl Inyiak Sirih admonish the magical figure for the attitudes, actions and behaviors that are not environmentally friendly.

Lasi, Inyiak Junjung Sirih masalalu real and present whereabouts are believed to still exist in keagaiban. However, he was able to become part of the social institutions of society Paninggahan of behaving and looking at their environment, especially forests on the hills Junjung Sirih. Moreover, very conscious of water resources Paninggahan centered upstream from there. Hopefully, like a mirage Lasi, Inyiak Junjung Sirih masalalu who now believed in magic a source of wisdom for us to treat nature and the environment Paninggahan forest. Thus function as a water catchment as well as banks continue to flow to all the sustainability of human life, animals and plants.
