Abstract

Land claims and forest resource utilization activities are one of the causes of conflict in forest management in the Grand Forest Park (Tahura) area of ​​Central Sulawesi. The existence of communities around and within the Central Sulawesi Grand Forest Park is an inseparable part of forest ecosystem management. The success of management planning for it will be more achieved if the manager has reliable instruments and strategies in dealing with problems and conflicts between forest managers and the community. The aim of the research is to classify the roles of the parties in the utilization of forest resources in Tahura and to design a participatory mapping model for conflict resolution over the use of forest resources in Tahura. The research method used in this research is a matrix of interrelationships between stakeholder issues to determine conflict issues on a priority scale, stakeholder analysis to map the influence and interests of stakeholders and to determine a participatory conflict resolution mapping model using a soft system method. Focusing on conflict issues that are on the priority scale, namely land (tenurial) conflicts and conflicts over the value of the benefits of the existence of Tahura. The results of stakeholder mapping related to land conflict resolution consist of: key actors (key players) including: Central Sulawesi Forestry Service, UPTD Tahura, Village Communities, and Forest Farmer Groups. Meanwhile, the resolution model formulated is "Joint control" based on the role of each stakeholder, namely the Management body or Advisor Body.

Abstract

Educational Forests are greatly needed by higher education institutions, especially those studying forestry. Various activities can be carried out by students, lecturers, and related parties to be involved in research in order to develop science and knowledge so that they can make real contributions, and empower communities around forest areas to be competitive so that they do not have a high enough value for forest resources, especially wood forest products. In addition, the existence of educational forests is considered capable of mitigating climate change at a micro level. The research was conducted in the Tadulako University Educational Forest as shown in the picture above. The stages of this research consist of two, namely a ground check by taking random samples of trees. Then the second is to identify local community wisdom using qualitative methods with the Rapid Rural Appraisal approach. This research was conducted in the Tadulako University Educational Forest with a direct observation approach. The results of this study found that the land in the forest is still maintained by implementing a forestry system in the form of, where the community utilizes the forest by taking non-timber forest products, rattan, and air ecosystem services.

Abstract

Customary forests play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance, biodiversity, and the sociocultural sustainability of local communities. However, pressure on forest cover continues to increase due to land clearing and conversion. This study was conducted from February to July 2025 in the Ngata Toro Customary Forest, Toro Village, Kulawi District, Sigi Regency, to analyze land cover changes from 2021 to 2025 using satellite imagery and the Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) segmentation method. The results show a decrease in forest area from 1,604.16 ha (2021) to 1,475.98 ha (2025), or a decrease of approximately 128.18 ha (7.99%), accompanied by an increase in non-forest area from 140.99 ha to 268.88 ha. Initial changes occurred in high-access areas near settlements and roads, then spread inland, leading to forest fragmentation. Peak deforestation occurred in 2024, with a decrease of 57.49 ha in one year. Spatial patterns show a close relationship between deforestation and accessibility, topography, and agricultural intensification. Classification accuracy tests yielded an overall accuracy of 80–85%, with the highest in 2021 and the lowest in 2023. Fragmentation reduces habitat connectivity, threatens wide-ranging species, and degrades ecosystem functions such as carbon storage and hydrological regulation. These results underscore the importance of ecosystem-based management strategies and controlled land clearing to maintain the ecological integrity of customary forests.

Abstract

The community-based conservation partnership (CCP) implemented in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP) is a community empowerment policy that provides legal access to local communities for forest utilization within the conservation area while strengthening their capacity for economic improvement. This policy strategy aims to support the preservation of conservation area ecosystems while simultaneously supporting the economic well-being of communities surrounding the forest. This study evaluates the performance and effectiveness of CCP in LLNP, focusing on their impact on conservation area functionality and local economic development. The research was conducted in 56 villages surrounding LLNP that have implemented conservation partnerships with park management since 2018. Using structured interviews, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions, data were collected from relevant stakeholders. The study applied quantitative and qualitative approaches, including Likert-scale assessments and Mann-Whitney U statistical analysis, to evaluate CCP performance across different management areas. The findings reveal that the CCP program has contributed to improving the functionality of the conservation area through participatory conservation and monitoring initiatives. However, the program has not yet significantly boosted the local economy. The capacity of the local community to develop enterprises remains limited. The local community’s capacity to develop the enterprise remains limited. The empowerment process implemented by LLNP managers through CCP focused on strengthening individual and organizational capacities. It necessitates policy support from the local government through assistance for programs that strengthen the local economy, incorporation of business development, and reinforcement of marketing networks for locally produced goods.

Abstract

Ekosistem mangrove memiliki peran strategis dalam perlindungan pesisir, penyimpanan karbon, dan konservasi keanekaragaman hayati, namun mengalami tekanan akibat konversi lahan dan aktivitas antropogenik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis struktur komunitas dan keanekaragaman mangrove pada gradasi kondisi ekosistem (terjaga dan terganggu) di hilir Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Poso, Sulawesi Tengah. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan metode line transect plot dan dianalisis melalui Indeks Nilai Penting (INP) serta indeks keanekaragaman Shannon–Wiener (H’). Sebanyak 12 jenis mangrove dari 5 famili teridentifikasi. Pada kawasan terjaga, Rhizophora apiculata mendominasi strata pohon dan pancang (INP > 98%), sedangkan pada kawasan terganggu strata pohon didominasi Sonneratia alba dan strata regenerasi tetap didominasi R. apiculata. Nilai H’ pada seluruh strata berada pada kategori sedang (1,300–1,879), dengan kemerataan relatif tinggi (0,726–0,966). Penurunan H’ pada strata pancang di kawasan terganggu mengindikasikan tekanan ekologis pada fase pertumbuhan menengah, meskipun tidak terjadi kehilangan jenis secara drastis. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa gangguan di hilir DAS Poso lebih memengaruhi struktur dominansi dan dinamika regenerasi dibandingkan tingkat keragaman total. Kebaruan studi ini terletak pada analisis komparatif berbasis INP dan H’ untuk menilai respons komunitas mangrove terhadap gradasi gangguan sebagai dasar perumusan strategi pengelolaan berbasis zonasi ekologis dan pemantauan jangka panjang. Hasil penelitian memberikan landasan ilmiah bagi pengelolaan mangrove berkelanjutan pada wilayah pesisir dengan tekanan antropogenik yang meningkat.

Abstract

Community-based collaborative management is increasingly adopted in conservation governance. However, previous studies have examined Collaborative Governance and Co-Management separately, providing limited understanding of how collaborative processes and authority-sharing interact in state-managed conservation areas. This study analyzed community-based collaborative management in Central Sulawesi Forest Park by integrating both perspectives. A descriptive qualitative case study involved 23 purposively selected informants representing government, Forest Farmer Groups, village governments, local communities, and civil society organizations. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and document analysis, analyzed using an interactive qualitative approach, and validated through source and method triangulation. Across eight analytical dimensions, collaborative governance facilitated stakeholder dialogue, institutional arrangements, facilitative leadership, and community participation, while co-management was reflected in shared management responsibilities, access to conservation benefits, and social learning. However, strategic authority remained with government under the legal framework for conservation management, whereas communities primarily performed operational roles. Community-based collaborative management has been effectively implemented through complementary governance rather than equal decision-making authority. This study integrates Collaborative Governance and Co-Management into a unified analytical framework and provides a context-specific interpretation of shared authority, showing that authority sharing in state-managed conservation areas is achieved through complementary roles, with governments retaining strategic authority and communities undertaking substantial operational responsibilities.

Abstract

Forest management by indigenous peoples has been globally recognized as a method to reduce deforestation and slow the climate crisis. Deforestation rates in indigenous-managed forests are 20–50% lower than in other forests. In Indonesia, despite constitutional recognition (Article 18B, Paragraph (2), of the 1945 Constitution) of the rights of indigenous peoples, the reality is highly variable, and legal protection is undermined by an extractive forestry system that administers approximately 63% of the total land area as forest. This research employs a qualitative approach with an instrumental policy case study. There are three objectives: First, to document the historical political development of customary forest recognition in Indonesia from the colonial era to the post-Constitutional Court Decision 35/2012; Second, to address significant political and economic-bureaucratic obstacles; and Third, to examine the adaptive strategies of key actors in policy realization. This research relies on the systematic implementation of the PRISMA 2020 methodology and the analysis of 122 publications (1990–2026). The implementation arena is where policy is put into practice. The analysis results indicate that within the implementation arena, policy politics, local bureaucracy, and political economy collectively form systemic barriers. Recognition of customary forests is limited to administrative recognition because overlapping sectoral permits, including cultivation rights (HGU), mining permits (IUP), and industrial plantation forest permits (HTI), are not automatically revoked. This study concludes that land justice is only possible with a transformation of the development paradigm and a redistribution of political power, combined with institutional transformation, particularly the mandatory revocation of overlapping permits. Keywords: agrarian conflict, customary forest, indigenous law communities, land tenure, legal politics
