Abstract

Despite global recognition of their crucial role, indigenous institutions in Riau Province, Indonesia, face intense pressure from agribusiness expansion, revealing a critical gap between constitutional recognition and functional authority in customary forest governance. This study aims to analyze the structural and functional roles of customary institutions in Riau’s forest management and identify challenges and opportunities for their integration into national policy. Using a systematic qualitative literature review and content analysis, it synthesizes evidence from literature (2000-2025). The research findings are quite striking: Customary institutions in Riau play a very significant strategic role. They regulate ecological-spiritual zoning, enforce laws based on customary norms, and resolve conflicts restoratively. These functions are clearly essential elements for sustainable forest management. However, the gap remains. On the one hand, recognition of land ownership rights is indeed growing. However, the formal integration of customary institutions into state institutions remains very limited. The results of this study concluded that the goal of community-based forest management must go beyond mere recognition of land rights. It needs to encourage the emergence of hybrid governance. To achieve equitable and sustainable forest management—both in Riau Province, Indonesia and in the global context—bridging the gap between legal recognition and truly effective customary institutional authority is essential.

Abstract

Traditional agroforestry systems developed by local communities play an important role in sustaining livelihoods and reducing pressure on protected forests, yet their economic significance and structural characteristics remain under-documented. This study analyzes the structure, composition, and livelihood contribution of a traditional random-mixture agroforestry system practiced by forest-adjacent communities in Engkangin Village, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected in February 2025 through field observations and structured interviews with 68 agroforestry households and analyzed using descriptive and income-based approaches. The system represents a forest-based agroforestry model characterized by a non-systematic spatial arrangement integrating perennial trees, plantation crops, annual crops, and aquaculture components (agrisilviculture and agrosilvofishery). Fifteen commercial commodities were identified, dominated by paddy, oil palm, and rubber. Agroforestry generated a total annual economic value of IDR 2.89 billion. Net agroforestry income accounted for 94.22% of total household earnings, indicating a high dependence on this land-use system for livelihood security. The diversified species composition enables continuous harvests across temporal scales, enhancing income stability and food availability while maintaining tree cover in protected forest landscapes. However, the random spatial configuration limits productivity and management efficiency compared with more structured agroforestry designs. The findings demonstrate that traditional mixed agroforestry can function as a socio-ecological safety net and a locally adapted strategy for sustainable land use. Strengthening technical support, improving planting materials, and enhancing market access could substantially increase both economic returns and ecological benefits. These results provide evidence for integrating community-based agroforestry into rural development and forest conservation policies in tropical regions.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of the Women Farmers Group (KWT) in understanding, producing, and applying locally sourced Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) to support plant growth during the vegetative phase. The program employed a participatory approach consisting of socialization, training, and evaluation stages. Evaluation was conducted using questionnaires and observation sheets, and the data were analyzed descriptively using qualitative and quantitative percentage-based methods. The initial survey revealed that only 43% of participants had previously used LOF, 6% had produced it, while 97% expressed willingness to learn how to produce LOF. The training results demonstrated an improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills in LOF production, as well as the emergence of community initiatives to implement LOF in crop cultivation. The findings indicate that the community service program successfully enhanced the capacity of the KWT to utilize local organic materials as natural fertilizer sources and strengthened awareness of the importance of sustainable agricultural practices based on local resources.

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

Abstract

One cause of human-induced forest destruction is the lack of understanding of the economic value of forest hydrological functions. One of the hydrological functions of forests is to provide water. To encourage people to protect the forest, they need to be educated about the economic value of the forest water they use daily. Raya Pasi Nature Reserve is a conservation area located in West Kalimantan Province. This area flows tributaries to the Nyarumkop Village area, East Singkawang Subdistrict. This study aims to calculate the economic value of the hydrological function of the Raya Pasi Nature Reserve, providing water for household and irrigation needs in rice paddy production for the community in Nyarumkop Village, East Singkawang Subdistrict. This research was conducted by measuring water discharge and using questionnaires to calculate household water use and irrigation of rice fields. Based on the study's results, the economic value of the hydrological function of Raya Pasi Nature Reserve for household needs is Rp 923,304,000/year. The economic value of the hydrological function of the Raya Pasi Nature Reserve for the needs of irrigation of rice fields for rice production by the community of Nyarumkop Village, East Singkawang Subdistrict is Rp 256,338,600/year. The total economic value of the hydrological function of the Raya Pasi Nature Reserve, based on the summation of the value of household water and the value of rice field water is Rp 1,179,642,600/year.
