Social aspect is one of important aspects to be considered in the analysis of sustainable forest management performance. This article discusses the analysis of social aspect of sustainable forest management as taking place at one of production unit of PT (SLJ) II in East Kalimantan. Ten indicators were employed to help elaborate sustainable forest management performance in this study. These indicators were considered to represent keys social aspect influencing the management performance at that unit of production. The employed indicators are to comply with sustainable forest management certification system as formulated by Lembaga Ekolabel Indonesia 2000. Based on the analysis, it is indicated that PT SLJ II accomplished good enough social performance in running sustainable forest management. However, it is also shown that the implementation of good social aspect performance did not help the company to improve the level of community welfare status yet. The finding of the study is expected to give an enrichment matter to the process of how sustainable forest management should be operated and be achieved in the field.

Sustainable forest management has reached a common understanding between scientific and technical definitions. A series of criteria and indicators have been implemented for monitoring the effectiveness of the management in functional and structural terms, and to evaluate its effects on ecosystem services of forests. Currently, Sicily has no forest areas with certification of sustainable forest management and in order to evaluate the diffusion of knowledge of certification schemes and their importance in SFM, a questionnaire survey was carried out during a foresters' workshop on the island. The possibility of applying the criteria and indicators of PEFC certification of sustainable forest management is analyzed in two case studies, representative of Sicilian forest ecosystems. This analysis highlights the main weaknesses related to current management practices and inadequate consultation with stakeholders. Some critical aspects of the certification process are discussed, highlighting possibilities and difficulties.

AbstractMachar I.: Applying landscape ecological principles in sustainable forest management of the floodplain forest in the temperate zone of Europe. Ekologia (Bratislava), Vol. 32, No. 4, p. 369-375, 2013.European floodplain forests of the temperate climatic zone are an example of an ecosystem in the cultural landscape characterized by an exceptionally high biodiversity. In this usually heavy deforested landscape of the Central and South European river floodplains, which are subjected to intensive agricultural use, the preserved ecosystems of floodplain forests represent important refuges for biotic biodiversity and are invaluable for the ecological landscape stability of the entire floodplain and the wider river basin. Unlike other Central European communities, whereby constant ecological conditions of habitats tend to be preserved even upon changes in ecosystem, the floodplain forests are characterized by a long-term continuous development of ecotopes, conditioning the complex interconnected succession series of ecosystem. The ecological floodplain phenomenon is created by fluvial landscape processes and the conservation of the natural development dynamics of the said fluvial landscape processes is essential for its protection. The landscape structure of floodplain forests is significantly affected by forest management measures, including regeneration methods, silvicultural measures and felling. Floodplain forest management radically affects the biodiversity of the given ecosystems which are listed among habitats of European concern in the Natura 2000 network. Since understanding of the biological nature of forest ecosystems is essential for landscape and ecological planning and sustainable forest management, it is imperative to study ecological processes taking place in the various floodplain forest biotopes in order to be able to define the principles of their management. This article aims to contribute to the process of formulating principles of biodiversity protection and the management strategies for floodplain forest ecosystems, while applying some theories and methods of landscape ecology. The Results section of the article comes in the form of case studies for each topic and draws on original data which were published in the scientific journals or presented at scientific conferences (see References). Some of the presented case studies focus on the Protected Landscape Area Litovelske Pomoravi.
