“…RTRW is an essential document in forest management and conservation in Indonesia because it covers all the land use planning elements of both state forests (Kawasan Hutan) and non-forest estate areas (Area Penggunaan Lain). Furthermore, every land use planning initiative in Indonesia follows the RTRW document because it is the formal legal document of development policy in Indonesia (Ardiansyah et al, 2015). Indonesia has different levels of RTRW, beginning from national (Indonesia), provincial, to district (kabupaten/kota), and more detailed spatial planning initiatives are called Rencana Detail Tata Ruang (RDTR).…”

The conventional Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial mapping techniques fail to understand a spatially complex forest area. This is because forest landscapes cannot be easily mapped into a two-dimensional map, which is usually used in spatial planning. In addition, planning maps are the fundamental factors of land grabbing issues. To solve this problem, counter-mapping arises at the local level as a tool to overcome the problem of land grabbing in forest areas in Indonesia. Counter mapping is defined here as part of a broader term under participatory mapping or citizen mapping. However, counter-mapping also faces critiques in terms of different epistemological and socio-economic-political conditions at the local level. This article elaborates the use of GIS and spatial mapping methods within a 'critical' social science approach based on literature review and field experiences. This article also aims to analyze counter-mapping as a ‘tool’ to solve the forest land-use problem, which can contribute to the choice of policy instruments in forest management and conservation in Indonesia.

“…The top-down approach typically initiates command/control from the government to the people as the target groups (Ardiansyah et al 2015). Regarding land use, the National Government has the power to determine how land-use changes can be made as well as the administrative approval, while the provincial government is recognised as the key actor in land use policy and developing land use plans, and the district government plays an important role in issuing permission or establishing formal locations and operational permits (Myers et al 2016).…”

According to Leifeld and Menichetti (2018), it is estimated that around 41% (24.1 Mha) of the global tropical peatlands have been drained and converted into non-forested peatland areas (Figure 1.1), contributing ~1.48 (0.04-2.79) Gton CO 2eq emissions. Meanwhile, the largest proportion of tropical peatland is in SouthEast -Asia with around 57% (24 Mha) of the global tropical peatland, and almost half of this area (47%) is located in Indonesia which holds 57.4 Gton C or ~65% of the global tropical peatland carbon resource (Page et al. 2011). Figure 1.1 The proportion of global tropical peatland in the global peatlands and their distribution based on land uses (adapted from Leifeld and Menichetti 2018). 1.1.2 The state of the Indonesian tropical peatlands 1.1.2.1 The national distribution Indonesian peatlands probably cover about 4% of the global peatlands and are the fourth-largest peatland area in the world after the peatlands in Russian, Canada, and the United States (Xu et al. 2018). In Indonesia, peatlands cover between 6-14% of the total Indonesia's land area, ranging from 12 to 26.4 million hectares (depending upon the sources of the peatland distribution map, Wahyunto and Suryadiputra 2008; Ritung et al. 2011; MoEFRI 2015). Based on the current official government map of peatlands in Indonesia, Indonesian peatlands are predominantly distributed in the islands of Sumatra (~43%), Kalimantan (~32%) and Papua (~24%), comprising seventeen provinces of in total thirty-three provinces in Indonesia (Ritung et al. 2011). Most of the Indonesian peatlands are located on the low-altitude coastal Indonesia showed robust economic performance during the global financial crisis 2008-2009 as reflected from its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate recovery from 4.6% in 2009 to a relatively stable 6% in 2010-2012 and 5% until 2018 which was made possible by a rise in commodity exports, solid public finances and the strong domestic demands. Based on the Master Plan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia's Economic Development 2011-2025, with the Government's goal of 7% average annual growth of GDP, Indonesia has potential to jump from the 16th largest economy in the world in 2012 to the 10th by 2025. From the year 1965 to 2017, Indonesia's economy has changed from being highly relying on agriculture sector to become a more balanced economy where the contribution of national GDP due to the industrial, manufacturing, and services (value-added) sectors were becoming more dominant and pronounced over the agricultural sector. yet. This is evidenced in four knowledge gaps that will be addressed in this study. First, large areas of Indonesian natural peatland ecosystems have been converted, but information on the current status of peatlands and trends under different uses as well as the dynamics of ecosystem services supplied and the major differences in peat development at the scale of the country is scarce. Although the potential effects of changes in Indonesian peatlands are now increasingly well understood (e.g. Hooijer ...

“…According to the Indonesian Statistics Bureau, of the total population of 248 million people who are registered in 512 districts, 57.4 million are domiciled in 183 geographically isolated districts (Reynolds et al, 2015). There were also approximately 122 disadvantaged regions in Indonesia in 2015 (Ardiansyah, Marthen, & Amalia, 2015) with a lack of digital resources or no access to technology for academic purposes.…”

<p>Self-directed professional learning is distinct from the traditional approach of directed professional development. The introduction of the Internet into Indonesian society provides the opportunity for teachers to use digital tools for their teaching and to access professional learning without attending mandated professional development. An emerging phenomenon in Indonesia is the establishment and use of Google Education Groups (GEGs) for professional learning about the use of educational technology (ed-tech) in the schooling sector. Two research questions guided the examination of Indonesian educators’ experiences of GEGs: (1) how do Indonesian educators participate in the GEGs for ed-tech professional learning? and (2) how do the GEGs function to enable Indonesian educators’ ed-tech professional learning? Collective case study methodology was applied, and three Google Education Groups were examined, one from a metropolitan area, one from an urban area and the third from a rural context. In each case study, the leader of the group and three group members with varying levels of online engagement were interviewed and online forum conversations were examined. Data were analysed using Stake’s method of categorical aggregation leading to within-case assertions and cross-case analysis. A social cognitive perspective was used as a framework to analyse and interpret findings. It was found that the Indonesian educators had an agentic approach to professional learning, which was context-dependent with three major interrelated aspects: the regional-technological environment as context, the individuals as agentic learners, and the connectedness as social learners enabled meaningful learning experiences. The regional-technological environment influenced how the GEGs functioned. The Metropolitan group was innovative and collaborative, focusing on the use of web-based tools to improve productivity of ed-tech practices. The Urban group aimed to explore how they could use web-based tools to improve efficiency through paperless classroom practices and school administration. The Rural group sought to use of web-based tools for simple teaching and learning practices within a context of low bandwidth and limited ICT infrastructure. In addition, certain conditions that support online collaboration and factors that can minimise and optimise ed-tech learning opportunities are identified. Participants overcame limitations and constraints by enacting agency and developing social connectedness in learning through the groups. The group leadership positions were voluntary and found to be driven by a desire to share expertise and practices that support, inspire, and empower others rather than about gaining positional authority. Participation in online informal groups such as Google Education Groups appears to be a supportive method of professional learning that facilitates agentic and experiential learning about the use of educational technology in Indonesia. This model can enhance professional learning opportunities for Indonesian educators. It can also be implemented into the design of government-supported ed-tech PD programmes, to create an empowering and safe learning environment that can optimise their potential in learning and improve practice.</p>
