Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand the history of the development of Community Plantation Forest Management at the community level, understand the roles and relations between actors, map the dynamics of its development at the site level, and explore alternative recommendations related to efforts to accelerate the development of Community Plantation Forest at the study site. This research used a case study approach conducted in the Batanghari KPHP (Forest Management Unit) area as one of the locations for implementing Community Plantation Forests in Indonesia. The method used in this research is the descriptive qualitative method. Then the data was collected through several data collection instruments: in-depth interviews, Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), and literature study. As a result, information was obtained that during the journey before and after the permit, quite a lot of dynamic problems emerged in Batanghari District. However, in the end, the issuance of permits for the five HTRs (Community Forest Plantation) did not answer these problems. Instead, it widened the dimensions of the conflict that occurred. This started with the parties wanting to control or fight over the same landscape. There is a misunderstanding between the surrounding community (licensed and unlicensed). As a result of this problem, it creates conflict between the parties, negatively impacting both materially and non-materially. So in the future, there needs to be firm action against perpetrators of law violations. In addition, the support and participation of the Local Government in the conflict mediation process must be based on the agreement of the parties. In addition, it is necessary to conduct research on the role of the parties in optimizing cooperation in building a framework for implementing social forestry.
