Abstract

The Government of Indonesia introduced a Special Management Forest Areas policy to facilitate changes in forest governance in Java, particularly over approximately 1.1 million hectares of forestland that were previously under Perhutani's management. Therefore, this research aimed to examine the practical benefit of the policies for communities critically. The designation of forest communities as key stakeholders paradoxically risked further marginalization. This research applied a patchwork ethnography approach and relied on participant observation and in-depth interviews. Although Perhutani no longer held official authority, various strategies were implemented at site levels to maintain access to forest resources. During the transition period, forest communities struggled due to a lack of clear assistance. As a new actor, the Forestry Service Branch (CDK) could not provide intensive assistance because the communities had not yet undergone the transformation required to obtain legal recognition under the latest policies. The results showed that good intentions in policies to support marginalized communities were insufficient. For the purpose of justice, a strong commitment at the grassroots level was needed through intensive assistance to ensure that policies were not merely rhetorical but truly provided tangible benefits.

Abstract

The establishment of a gold mining company in Desa S caused the split of society into two part. The first part of the community supported mining companies and the second part, some of them refused the establishment of mining companies. So far, the phenomenon of the split of society into two part, often seen in the national and local domains. Whereas, this study wants to see this phenomenon occur in the realm of the household. The division of society in the realm of households is interesting to understand when the role of local state actors is in it. This condition occurred in my research, where there were three households in which there were local level state actors. The position of these state actors is quite dilemma, on the one hand, a family member supports a mining company, on the other hand, one family member rejects a mining company. The study of state-society relations is an appropriate study in understanding these conditions. In this study, the approach used in assessing the relation of state-society is Migdal's "state in society". One of Migdal's main arguments in this approach is that the state works on two levels, practice and image, where Migdal presupposes an entity to have a social boundary between the public (state and agency) and private (subject to state rules). However, what happened in the research that I did, there was no separation between public and private in the state-society relations in the household domain. Therefore, this study would like to show that the boundary between public and private is blended and overlaps each other in the relations of the state-society in the household domain.
