Abstract

Social forestry is a national priority program aimed at providing legal access to communities in managing forest areas to resolve tenure conflicts and improve community welfare. Since its implementation in 2016, evaluating its impact has become important, especially regarding land cover changes. This study aims to analyze the impact of social forestry approval on land cover in Makarti Jaya District, Banyuasin Regency. This research was conducted in December 2024 using the visual delineation method through on-screen digitization of Google Earth images from 2016, 2020, and 2024 at five locations that received social forestry approval in 2020. Data analysis was conducted using a geographic information system to observe changes in land cover area. The research results show that the approval of social forestry has a significant impact on land cover changes. The area of the forest has experienced a significant decline, especially in Forest Farmer Group (in Indonesia context called Kelompok Tani Hutan-KTH) Sungai Gulang, KTH Jaya Bersama, and KTH Semoga Jaya, which have been converted into coconut plantations. Meanwhile, KTH Usaha Makmur was able to maintain the forest stand, while KTH Sinar Tani completely converted its land into coconut plantations. These findings indicate that the implementation of social forestry needs to be balanced with stricter monitoring and guidance mechanisms to prevent wider forest degradation.

Abstract

Social Forestry Program (PS) is a national initiative aimed at providing legal access for local communities and indigenous groups to manage state forests through schemes such as Village Forests, Community Forests, People's Plantations, Customary Forests, and Forest Partnerships. The goal of social forestry is to improve economic welfare while maintaining the forest ecosystem functions. In the Bayung Lencir District, Musi Banyuasin Regency, there is a social forestry area of approximately 22,093 hectares, consisting of 15 social forestry permits involving 2,154 households. One of the obligations of social forestry permit holders is to protect their area from forest fires. However, from 2014 to 2024, an average of 49 forest fire hotspots occurred annually, with the peak of forest fires occurring during the El Nino years of 2015 (235 hotspots in LPHD Kepayang) and 2019 (169 hotspots in LPHD Muara Merang). These figures reflect the weak capacity for fire mitigation within social forestry groups, limited technical and financial resources, and the lack of policy integration into regional planning. Policy analysis was conducted using a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, focusing on policies for improving fire mitigation capacity and firefighting infrastructure, collaboration and partnership policies, policies for increasing village fund utilization, strengthening national policy, and policies for climate change adaptation and disaster mitigation. The policy selection alternatives were evaluated using a priority table for policy alternatives. The prioritized policy recommendation is the improvement of fire mitigation capacity and firefighting infrastructure. To support this policy, a Logic Model Analysis was performed.
