“…Policy changes in forest management have taken place in Indonesia, aiming to expand social forestry (SF) allocations from less than 1% (1.1 million hectares) to more than 10% (12.74 million hectares) of the forest area [121,122]. SF is a sustainable forest management system that is implemented in the state forest area, private forests/customary forests by the local community or customary indigenous community as the main actors.…”

“…The main cause of this mismatch between the indicative map prepared in PIAPS and the actual condition is mentioned by Fisher et al [134] as a gap between "policy imagination" and implementation experience. Several studies [30,122,146] indicate that incompatibility between maps used as a reference and real situations has become an inhibiting factor for accelerating forest tenure reform in Indonesia. Accountability mechanisms, especially spatial ones (boundaries and mapping), continue to become the main stumbling block in their implementation.…”

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with 17,000 islands of varying sizes and elevations, from lowlands to very high mountains, stretching more than 5000 km eastward from Sabang in Aceh to Merauke in Papua. Although occupying only 1.3% of the world’s land area, Indonesia possesses the third-largest rainforest and the second-highest level of biodiversity, with very high species diversity and endemism. However, during the last two decades, Indonesia has been known as a country with a high level of deforestation, a producer of smoke from burning forests and land, and a producer of carbon emissions. The aim of this paper is to review the environmental history and the long process of Indonesian forest management towards achieving environmental sustainability and community welfare. To do this, we analyze the milestones of Indonesian forest management history, present and future challenges, and provide strategic recommendations toward a viable Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) system. Our review showed that the history of forestry management in Indonesia has evolved through a long process, especially related to contestation over the control of natural resources and supporting policies and regulations. During the process, many efforts have been applied to reduce the deforestation rate, such as a moratorium on permitting primary natural forest and peat land, land rehabilitation and soil conservation, environmental protection, and other significant regulations. Therefore, these efforts should be maintained and improved continuously in the future due to their significant positive impacts on a variety of forest areas toward the achievement of viable SFM. Finally, we conclude that the Indonesian government has struggled to formulate sustainable forest management policies that balance economic, ecological, and social needs, among others, through developing and implementing social forestry instruments, developing and implementing human resource capacity, increasing community literacy, strengthening forest governance by eliminating ambiguity and overlapping regulations, simplification of bureaucracy, revitalization of traditional wisdom, and fair law enforcement.

“…Then there are also studies that review the challenges faced by the government in conservation and resource management (Scarlett, 2013), traceability and trace link management (Wohlrab et al, 2016), to urban commons (Parker & Johansson, 2012). In the context of Indonesia, some of the difficulties associated with collaborative management have been mentioned in several different case studies, beginning with forest protection project (Gallemore et al, 2015;Harada et al, 2015;Herawati et al, 2019), tourism promotion (Depari, 2021;Manaf et al, 2018) to digitalization in government (Surya Adhitama et al, 2021). However, there has only been a limited amount of research done on the examination of this challenge in the context of local government, particularly in Indonesia.…”

Lately, there has been a greater recognition of the value of collaboration in government management. It is also recognized that managing collaboration is a complex matter due to the involvement of multiple stakeholders. The goal of this study is to look into the challenges that Indonesian local governments face when implementing a collaborative management scheme. Using a systematic review, we collect evidence from previous studies that analyze local governments that carry out specific collaborative programs. As a result, there are four distinct clusters of challenges, beginning with the complexity of networking, followed by a lack of resources, a lack of interest in collaboration, and political circumstance constraints. From mapping the challenges that are occurring and posing threats to the implementation of this future collaboration, we propose plans that the local government can apply in the future to deal with them. This starts with develop strategic framework, fostering culture of partnership, building capacity-building programs and adopt flexible approach.

“…The Indonesian government has reaffirmed its commitment to reducing inequalities in land distribution and overall access to forests through the implementation of the agrarian reform (Tanah Objek Reformasi Agraria, TORA) and Social Forestry (SF) programs (Herawati et al 2019;Resosudarmo et al 2019;Rustiadi & Veriasa 2022). Despite the various efforts made in recent years, tenure issues have proven to be persistent.…”

The Social Forestry Program was a government initiative that yielded significant outcomes and provided unprecedented access and opportunities to the community. One notable change has occurred in the Perhutani area through a scheme known as IPHPS. This scheme provides long-term tenure security to forest farmers with higher returns than before. In addition, extensive experience in addressing tenure conflicts in the Perhutani area, a State Forestry Corporation (SFC), has prompted communities to apply for the IPHPS scheme. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the dynamics of changes in access and assess their implementation using the concept of property rights as a framework. The results showed that the IPHPS scheme provided community groups the right to manage forests but needed more flexibility to decide on the use of resources. In addition, the management patterns regulation had a significant responsibility to restore forest conditions. Furthermore, this research proposed new rights, particularly management rights, for community groups to manage their forest resources up to the operational level and improve forest conditions. In addition, the absence of a management authority caused difficulties in achieving social forestry's objective of increasing local communities' role in managing their forest resources.
