“…Nevertheless, recently several studies have demonstrated that restrictions on the use of natural resources have negative behavior among the rural residents who rely on the forest for their livelihood, which creates a lot of hurdles for the management of forests [1][2][3][4][5]. The mountainous rural area resident's major source of income is from the forest resources; therefore, the economic incentive from forests directs rural residents toward deforestation [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Therefore, comprehensive attention is needed to understand the relationship between rural residents, economic incentives, and forest conservation.…”

The conservation of forest in the northern areas of Pakistan is the major priority of the national environmental policy to fight against global warming. Despite the policy for the protection of forest, rural residents’ behavior toward economic incentives for deforestation may undermine their conservation goals. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand the factors that affect the illegal behaviors related to deforestation in the northern areas of Pakistan. The present study applied the socio-psychological theory of planned behavior to predict the behavioral intention of rural residents toward economic incentives for deforestation. Correlations were explored between background factors toward motivations for deforestation based on positive and negative views through open-ended questions. Attitude and descriptive norm were found good predictors to perceive the behaviors. The findings of the study suggest that rural communities’ support for compliance with policies is vital for the long-term efficacy and protection of the forest in the region. Further, change in the behaviors of inhabitants toward the ecosystem through training can be improved to manage the forest.

“…Compensation for planting trees is meant to develop good timber trees for water resource conservation by the community [37][38][39][40]. These trees can be planted on one's own land, in a protected spring area, or in other public places in the upstream area of the Renggung watershed.…”

This study aims to analyze the initiative and level of community self-assistance in water resources conservation, analyze the influence of family socio-economic characteristics on the level of self-assistance in water resources conservation, and formulate a self-assistance conservation model in the upstream area of the Renggung watershed. This research was carried out in the upstream area of the Renggung watershed. Data were collected observation, in-depth interviews, document review. Data were analyzed based on a Likert scale and multiple regression. The results of the study are as follows: (1) Initiatives and the level of community self-assistance in the conservation of water resources in the upstream area of the Renggung watershed are classified in the “Low” category; (2) The socio-economic characteristics of the family that have a significant effect on the level of self-assistance are age and income. Age has a positive effect, while income has a negative effect; and (3) Self-assistance conservation models that can be developed are: Development of Village-owned Fruit and Ornamental Plant Tourism Parks; Productive Economic Business Empowerment; and Development of Conservation Crop Compensation.

“…Problems that arise in the field resulting in uncertainty over land tenure can come from local communities, immigrants, the private sector, or the government (Wario et al, 2012;Simmons et al, 2018;Jenke & Pretzsch, 2021). The occurrence of overlapping rights in forest areas is very likely to occur because of the lack of integration of the licensing system and the inaccurate resolution in describing the problem of forest land use claims (Stickler et al, 2017;Gebara, 2018;Tjoa et al, 2018;Jun et al, 2020;Yiwen et al, 2020). According to Galudra et al (2014), Sylviani & Hakim (2014), and Purnomo and Anand (2014), land ownership tenure conflicts occur because of differences in perceptions and interpretations of stakeholders towards land and forest resources.…”

Effective forest management is challenging to achieve when there is uncertainty about who controls forest areas. Land tenure issues can arise from local communities, immigrants, the private sector, or the government. Overlapping rights in forest areas are very likely to occur due to the licensing system's lack of integration and the inaccuracy with which the problem of forest land use claims. The Forest area of Register 47 is the case where the forest tenurial conflict resolution is theoretical and takes into account the existence of forest communities and conflict resolution programs that have been implemented by the Forest Management Unit (FMU). This study employed case study approach carried out with an in-depth study in the historical study about the conflicts and juridical review in Way Terusan FMU, Lampung Province. The collected data was then validated by triangulating scheme by the observation and documentation. The findings show that in terms of legal, FMU is the legal authority in forest area organizations, especially after regional regulation since 2019. However, the encroachment began in the 1990s when about 900 households were relocated to the area without the Forestry Ministry accord. Various legalization permits were submitted to the central government, but they were not deemed as a viable option. Since the regional regulation of forest area law's introduction in 2019, the FMU has been the primary actor in forest management. In order to resolve all conflicts, the FMU might apply for some effective forestry partnership cooperation programs.
