“…Southeast Asia is a forest and land conflicts 'hotspot' (MolaYudego and Gritten et al, 2013), affecting a significant number of people. In Indonesia, for example, in the period 1990-2000, forest conflicts affected between 12.3 and 19.6 million people, while in Cambodia it has affected over 1.7 million people (USAID, 2006).…”

“…KFS also can organize and manage the Council for Conflict Resolution as an ADR, if necessary, based on Article 16 of the Provision of Conflict Prevention and Resolution by Public Institutions. The Council can handle land use conflicts centered on resource extraction and conservation conflicts between stakeholders over forest usage [58]. The detailed guideline and manual are required for implementing the Council for Conflict Resolution effectively and efficiently.…”

Participation by multiple actors has been emphasized in managing state forests to meet various demands on forests within a global society. Public participation was also suggested as an approach to sustainable forest management. This paper aims to investigate the legal opportunities of public participation in managing state forests in the case of the Republic of Korea (ROK). Relevant legal and policy documents were selected for content analysis and were analyzed with the levels of participation. Litigation regarding state forest conflicts was analyzed. The ROK legal system includes multiple levels of participation in managing state forests: information sharing, consultation, collaborative decision-making, and implementation. The research results indicate that various stakeholders need legal opportunities to participate in the formation and implementation of policies for the management of state forests. Regulatory enforcement is required for guaranteeing environmental rights-access to information, participation in decision-making, and standing in court. Based on research results, this paper provides us with legal insights on promoting public participation in managing state forests.

“…The soils have sufficient drainage and need a water source for irrigation, usually a spring or river derivation channels. Tenure and decision-making processes are individual and can become a source of rural conflicts if water is scarce (Gritten et al 2012). The main use is cash-crop production, especially vegetables such as carrot, garlic, cabbage, onions, potato and paprika, with zoned specialization.…”

The study reviews one publication on the traditional land use system in Angolan highlands, three publications on modelling the growth and yield of nine tropical pine and six eucalypt species, and one publication on optimising the land use in Angolan highlands. The sources of data for the land use system analysis were two years field research and a review of previous studies going back to colonial times. The growth models were based on 19,388 radial increments from 1,059 measured pine trees and 10,499 radial increment observations measured on cores taken from 803 eucalypts trees. Linear programming (LP) was used to optimize the combination of alternative production systems. LP problems were formulated and solved for a baseline land use, improved diet, and maximal timber production land uses. The first study has implications for land use management (e.g. regarding length of fallow) and conflict management in Angola and elsewhere. The developed growth and yield model set included dominant height, diameter increment, tree height and self-thinning models for all the studies pine and eucalypt species. The model set makes it possible to simulate stand development on an individual tree basis. They showed good accuracy when the simulated stand development was compared to the observed development. Therefore, they can be used as a management planning tool in tropical pine and eucalypt plantations in Angola. The developed models were used in the last study to calculate the timber production in short-and long-rotation forestry. The last study showed that among the alternative production systems, cash crops under forest fallow showed the highest land expectation value (LEV). Changing diet by diversifying carbohydrate and protein sources increased LEV and reduced the seasonal need for women labour. In the maximal timber production alternative under food sufficiency constraint the optimal share of tree plantations was around 57% of the total land area.Keywords: Land use management, Pinus spp., Eucalyptus spp., linear programming, growth models, Umbundu Land Use System (ULUS). ABSTRAKTIVäitöskirjan tutkimuskokonaisuus kattaa yhden julkaisun perinteisestä maankäyttösysteemistä Angolan ylänkömailla, kolme julkaisua yhdeksän trooppisen mäntylajin ja kuuden eukalyptuslajin kasvusta ja tuotoksesta, sekä yhden julkaisun maankäytön optimoimisesta Angolan ylänkömailla. Maankäyttösysteemien analyysin aineisto on peräisin kahden vuoden kenttätyöstä ja kirjallisuuskatsauksesta, joka ulottuu aina siirtomaa-aikoihin. Kasvumallit perustuivat 19,388 läpimitankasvuhavaintoon 1,059:sta männystä ja 10,499 läpimitankasvuhavaintoon 803 eukalyptuksesta. Vaihtoehtoisten maankäyttömuotojen optimaalinen kombinaatio haettiin lineaarisella ohjelmoinnilla (LO). LO-ongelmat muodostettiin tämänhetkistä ruokavaliota tavoittelevalle maankäytölle, parannetulle ruokavaliolle sekä vaihtoehdolle, jossa maksimoidaan puuntuotosta niin, että ruuan tuotanto paikalliselle väestölle on samalla riittävää.Ensimmäisellä tutkimuksella on vaikutuksia maankäytön suun...
