Abstract

Customary forest management in Indonesia continues to face challenges, including development pressures, land conversion, and weak coordination among actors in natural resource governance. Centralized management approaches are widely considered insufficient to fully ensure forest sustainability and protect the rights of indigenous peoples. This study aims to analyze collaborative governance practices in conserving the Wehea Customary Forest in Nehas Liah Bing Village, Muara Wahau District, East Kutai Regency, Indonesia. The study adopted a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document reviews, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results indicate that the successful management of the Wehea Customary Forest is driven by synergy between the local government, which acts as a policy facilitator; indigenous communities, which play a key role in forest management; and non-governmental organizations, which support capacity building. Furthermore, integrating customary law into the formal governance system has been shown to increase the legitimacy and effectiveness of forest protection and facilitate constructive conflict management. This study concludes that the collaborative governance approach plays a crucial role in conserving customary forests and strengthening recognition of indigenous communities, making it a relevant model for sustainable customary forest management.

Abstract

Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) are strategic instruments for strengthening village economic independence and improving community welfare through sustainable management of local potential. This study aims to analyze the performance of BUMDes Tungkap Jaya in Saka Village, Sangkulirang District, East Kutai Regency. It identifies internal and external factors that hinder its operations and formulates recommendations for improving governance. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through direct observation and in-depth interviews with BUMDes management, village officials, and community members. The results show that the performance of BUMDes Tungkap Jaya is not yet optimal, as indicated by the stagnation of its main business unit, ferry transportation services, from 2023 to 2025, even though it previously contributed significantly to the village economy and social mobility. Internal obstacles include low human resource capacity, weak business planning and strategy, inconsistent capital support, and limited community participation. Meanwhile, external obstacles consist of a lack of support from the village government and a low level of understanding of the regulatory and legal aspects related to BUMDes operations. This study concludes that optimizing the performance of BUMDes Tungkap Jaya requires comprehensive management improvements through increasing human resource capacity, strengthening business planning, consistent capital allocation, increasing support from the village government, improving regulatory understanding, and active community involvement. These efforts are expected to revive strategic business opportunities and position BUMDes as a sustainable driver for village economic development.

Abstract

The Village Consultative Body (BPK) is a representative institution of the community that plays an important role in village governance, particularly in discussing village regulations, channeling community aspirations, and supervising the performance of the village government. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the BPK's functions in Sakaq Tada Village, Mook Manaar Bulatn Subdistrict, West Kutai Regency, and to examine the compatibility between normative provisions and empirical practices in the field. This study uses a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of informants, including the BPK Chair and Members, Village Officials, village government officials, and the Head of the Neighborhood Association (RT). Data analysis was conducted inductively using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis model, which includes the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that normatively, the BPK has carried out its three main functions in accordance with applicable regulations. However, empirically, the implementation of these functions has not been fully optimal. The legislative function is still limited to discussing routine regulations; the supervisory function has not been carried out systematically; and the function of channeling community aspirations is often carried out through informal mechanisms. This condition is influenced by limited human resource capacity, minimal technical training, and suboptimal institutional working mechanisms at the BPK. This study concludes that strengthening the BPK's role requires increasing institutional and human resource capacity, as well as strengthening coordination between the BPK and village governments to support more effective and accountable village administration.
