Abstract : This paper describes the policy of the implementation of Community-Based Forest Management program (CBFM) in Bulukumba district. CBFM Program consists of policies regarding Forest Villages, Community Forests and Community Plantation Forests. In these schemes, CBFM concept is applied in different region and different case. Research location for this paper is in Bulukumba, the location of the implementation of Community Forest to some Forest Farmers Group. The results found that CBFM scheme, which is the process of power transfer, devolution of forest resources to local users, has its own limitations and possibilities. The program was running well within the context of improvement of tenure security of forest communities, but on the other hand, this scheme does not have the authority to reform the structure of forest land tenure that has already crippled and been confirmed by this CBFM scheme. Keywords : Community Base Forest Management, Comunity Forest, DevolutionIntisari : Tulisan ini ingin menggambarkan kebijakan pelaksanaan program Community Base Forest Manajement (CBFM) dalam pengelolaan hutan di kabupaten Bulukumba. Program CBFM ini terdiri dari kebijakan mengenai Hutan desa, Hutan Kemasyarakatan dan Hutan Tanaman Rakyat. Dalam skema-skema inilah konsep CBFM ini diaplikasikan di masing-masing wilayah dan case yang berbeda-beda. Lokasi penelitian untuk tulisan ini dilakukan di Kabupaten Bulukumba, lokasi penerapan Hutan Kemasyarakatan kepada beberapa Kelompok Tani Hutan. Hasil penelusuran yang dilakukan menemukan bahwa skema CBFM, yang merupakan proses transfer kekuasaan, devolusi sumberdaya hutan kepada pengguna lokal, memiliki keterbatasan dan kemungkinannya sendiri. Program ini baik dalam konteks perbaikan tenurial security masyarakat pengelola hutan, tetapi disisi yang lain skema ini tidak memiliki kewenangan untuk melakukan perombakan struktur penguasaan lahan hutan yang sudah timpang dan dikukuhkan oleh skema CBFM ini.

SUMMARYDecentralization of forest management has become a common policy globally which has allowed communities to regain rights removed through colonization and central state management of forests. However, socioeconomic and environmental outcomes of such community-based forest management schemes have been mixed. Studies have shown the importance of institutions in influencing the success of these new governance arrangements. Based on an extensive literature review supplemented by qualitative research, using focus groups and semi-structured interviews, conducted in nine villages in the humid forest zone comprising three community forests, this research investigated the successes and challenges from decentralization of forest management in Cameroon. A key constraint on success was the inappropriate institutional structure at the local level with responsibility to manage community forests. Community forest management committees with no internally recognized legitimacy and dominated by local elites had replaced roles once played by traditional authorities. Qualitative research showed that in the humid forest zone of Cameroon, the system of accountability for forest resources, prior to the enactment of community forest legislation, included those with historical traditional cultural authority, in the form of clan or lineage heads, as well as the village chief, a legacy of colonial power. Village chiefs or other members of the village council are also selected on the basis of their good moral character. Community forest management committees that are a hybrid of customary authorities and other representatives of the population chosen following the criteria for local legitimacy may capture the best of historical social regulation and build on it so that the local committee may be seen as being accountable to the local population. Since such hybrid institutions are not without their risks, it is important that these institutions be accountable to a local democratic government to further increase their transparency and accountability. Models of community-based natural resource management that incorporate culturally appropriate requirements of legitimacy and accountability in crafting local institutions may have more success in accomplishing both socioeconomic and environmental goals.

Community forests have important values for rural communities. The purpose of this study is to determine the social and economic characteristics of the community that affect community forest management in Tulang Bawang Barat Regency. The study was conducted for 2 months in August to September 2016 in the Tulang Bawang Barat Regency, Lampung Povince. Data was collected by field observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The total number of respondents in this study was 50 respondents of community forest farmers who were taken purposively. To describe the social and economic conditions of the respondents, as well as analyze the characteristics and practices of community forest management, the data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that productive age, adequate level of education, extent of land tenure, social, ecological and economic motivations are factors that influence farmers' decisions to manage community forests. Farmers cultivate their community forest in a simple way, without using good community forest cultivation guidelines. Local government policies are very necessary to support the sustainability of community forest development, in order to achieve economic, ecological, and social needs obtained from community forest management.Keywords: social economy characteristics of community, participation, community forest farmers, rural community

Community-based forest management practices vary according to biophysical and management factors. This study aimed to explain the vegetation conditions of community-based forest management in Aik Bual and Setiling village, Lombok Tengah. The study site was divided into protected forest areas (HL) in Aik Bual Village with a legal community forest permit (Aik Bual-HKm), HL in Setiling Village with no legal community forest permit (Setiling-Non Permit), and HL in Aik Bual Village with no legal community forest permit (Aik Bual-Non Permit). Field measurement was conducted in July 2018 by establishing 12 plots of 20 m x 20 m. Each plot consisted of subplots of 10 m x 10 m, 5 m x 5 m, and 2 m x 2 m to collect data of woody and non-woody plants with the criteria of diameter (D) as follows: D ≥ 20 cm, 10 cm ≤ D < 20 cm, 2 cm ≤ D <10 cm, and D < 2 cm with tree height of < 1,5 m, respectively. The results showed that Aik Bual-HKm, Setiling-Non Permit and Aik Bual-Non Permit had 24, 13 and 22 species, respectively. Dominant species of vegetation at D ≥ 20 cm were Erythrina variegata and Swietenia macrophylla, at 10 cm ≤ D < 20 cm were Musa paradisiaca and Durio zibethinus, at 2 cm ≤ D < 10 cm was Coffea canephora, and at D < 2 cm were C. canephora and S. macrophylla. Vegetation diversity index (H') of plants at D ≥ 2 cm in Aik Bual-HKm was slightly higher (H'=1,78) than that in Setiling-Non Permit (H’=1,04) and Aik Bual-Non Permit (H’=1,15), although these are classified as moderate. The results illustrated the possible differences of vegetation diversity in community-managed forests with and without legal permission.Keywords: agroforestry, land tenure, protected forest, vegetation analysis

In June 1997, we visited the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme (MCF), a community forest in the Alps of northern Italy. We have prepared this article to help broaden the perspectives of Forestry Chronicle readers on community forests and what they mean in various parts of the world. We first describe the area and its forests, and then give a brief history of the MCF. Then we review the forest-management strategies used in this Norway spruce forest, and summarize the logging and wood-processing activities of the enterprise. We continue with a comparison of this community forest with three community forests in Canada, concluding that generalization on what makes a community forest successful is dangerous — each situation is unique. Finally, given that the MCF recently won permission to use the eco-label of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), we discuss our perceptions of how the MCF operation does and does not meet the FSC's Principles and Criteria of Forest Stewardship. Despite several shortcomings, we believe that the MCF is in most respects a sound example of sustainable forest management.

Using Data

The last three decades have witnessed shifts in forest governance in favour of more inclusive approaches. In Uganda, two main approaches have been embraced in the forest sector: collaborative forest management and community forest management. However, there is scanty empirical evidence on how the latter has affected the forest condition over time. Using data from two bio-physical surveys (2006 and 2016) and Key Informant Interviews, this study examined changes in vegetation characteristics in two de facto community forests (Ongo and Alimugonza) over a 10-year period. The basal area and stem densities of tree species locally preferred for poles and charcoal declined in both forests due to extractive uses, some of which were illegal. The densities of those preferred for timber increased as a result of their heightened protection by the community members. However, the community members still faced challenges of apprehending rulebreakers due to the high costs involved and their informal recognition as responsible bodies since the two forests have not yet been declared "community forests" as required by law. The gains made by the approach amidst these challenges demonstrate its potential to achieve conservation goals.

Hutan rakyat bukan hanya menjadi jaring penyelamat ekonomi petani namun juga berfungsi sosial dan lingkungan. Pengelolaan hutan rakyat dengan sistem agroforestri bertujuan untuk mendapatkan hasil yang bervariasi dalam memenuhi kebutuhan jangka pendek, menengah maupun panjang. Sistem pengelolaan ini  telah dilakukan oleh masyarakat di banyak desa di Jawa, termasuk Desa Semoyo Kecamatan Patuk Gunungkidul. Pengelolaan hutan rakyat tersebut dilakukan karena adanya   motivasi yang berbeda yaitu motivasi ekonomi, sosial dan lingkungan.  Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui karakteristik petani yang mendorong motivasi petani dalam mengelola hutan rakyat. Pengambilan data dilakukan melalui wawancara secara langsung terhadap masyarakat yang mengelola hutan rakyat.  Sejumlah 67  responden dipilih secara purposif dari anggota kelompok tani yang memiliki perbedaan mata pencaharian utama yaitu petani dan non-petani. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji korelasi Rank Spearman dan regresi binary logistic. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terdapat tiga karakteristik petani yang mendorong motivasi petani dalam mengelola hutan rakyat yaitu tingkat pendidikan formal, pendapatan dari budidaya non kayu hutan rakyat dan luas pemilikan lahan.   The community forest is not only a rescue net for farmers' economies but also functions socially and environmentally. Community forest management with an agroforestry system aims to obtain varied results in meeting the life needs of farmers for short, medium and long term. This management system has been carried out by communities in many villages in Java, including Semoyo Village, Patuk Sub-district, Gunungkidul District. Community forest management is carried out because of the different motivations of economic, social and environmental motivation. This study aims to determine the characteristics of farmers that encourage farmers' motivation in managing community forests. Data collection is carried out through direct interviews with the people who manage community forests. A total of 67 respondents were selected purposively from members of farmer groups who had the main differences in livelihoods, namely farmers and non-farmers. Data analysis was performed using Rank Spearman correlation test and binary logistic regression. The results showed that there are three characteristics of farmers that encourage farmers' motivation in managing community forests, namely the level of formal education, income from cultivation in addition to community forest timber and extensive land ownership.

<p><br />Bogor regency has an area of 16,945 hectares’ community-forests or 22% of the forest area in the regency. Institutional problems of community-forest management include weak interaction of actors within the organization. Since the organization is part of the institution, its existence becomes an important technical part in securing the operation of the institution. Objectives of this research on analyzing actors and the institution in the community-forest area are: (1) to determine the dominant key actors in community-forests action arena; and (2) to formulate community-forests development institutional models. Qualitative descriptive analysis of actors and institutions employs content analysis. Key actors analysis utilized ISM (Interpretive Structural Modeling) analysis methods. Results of the analysis identified seven key actors in community forest management, namely UPTD BP3K, landowners who lives outside the village, farmer landowners, land tenants, farm labors, lumbermens, and middlemen. Of the seven key actors, four key actors are the most dominant in the community-forest action arena, which are farmer landowners, farm labors, lumbermens and middlemen. There are three models of community-forest management institutions for capacity development actors, namely the institutional model related to venture capital, handling waste of resources, and coordination. This study recommends the necessity to strengthen dominant actors at site level according to the criteria of efficiency, equity, and sustainability. The policy makers need to optimize the capacity and coordination function of government agencies through the institutional coordination model.</p>

Deforestation continuous to be a wide spread problem in rural areas of developing countries. Conventional “top down” approach has proved fundamentally limited in their ability to promote the culture of forest conservation in the world over. Inco-prorating the community based forest and community based natural resources management in rural development strategies seems to be the best approach to conserve forest area. This paper provides a case of community forest management by rural communities in rural areas of Nigeria. Based on the experience of the Local Empowerment and Environmental Management Project (LEEMP) in Adamawa State of Nigeria, this paper discussed the achievement and challenges in implementing community based forest management in the rural areas. Information used in this paper is based a preliminary study in evolving interviews with officials of the implementation agencies of LEEMP and a few participants of the projects in Adamawa state. Under LEEMP the priorities include the empowerment of local people to manage the community based forest and community based natural resources conservation in their areas. The project aim for the effective management of renewable forest resources, (vegetation), minimizing depletion of non-renewable forest resources (wild life), minimise forest pollution and its attendants negative impacts.(bush burning), as well as to decentralize the responsibity for managing forest resources. This study found that LEEMP helps to bring grass root citizen contribution to the objectives of sustainable natural resources management and community wellbeing collectively. There exist a strong link between the rural poverty and the deforestation and forest management through community empowerment did show some improvement both to the resource conservation and improvement to the livelihood of the communities. However there were many challenges encounter in the process implementationinclude non-inclusive of stake holders because of social class or due to political affiliation, while projects are not evenly distributed among communities of serious need, others are un involve and ill-informed in terms of decision and actions, and lack of conservation culture, among communities. This paper implies that effective incorporation of forest management in rural development strategies should focus more attention to collective action, which ties the community on values, cultures, and economics benefits into the ecological project, with balancing the aim of sustaining the environment and poverty alleviation.
