“…The results of interviews with farmers illustrate the application of policies made by the government regarding guidelines for conducting sustainable palm oil plantation business. (Setiawan et al 2016;Larsen et al 2014) Farmers' Perception of Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO). Perception is a process in organizing and interpreting the stimulus that will be received by organisms or individuals so that it can be meaningful as the most intimate activity in individuals (Walgito, 2004).…”

Palm oil is one of the leading commodities in the world market that contributes to the Indonesian economy. In fulfilling market demand but environmental friendly, the Indonesian government issued a policy of sustainable standards known as the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) principle. This study aims to determine the farmers' perception of ISPO in the community of oil palm farmers in West Java. This study designed as qualitative research. The results show that not all standards were sustainable. ISO has been applied to oil palm plantations in West Java. For this reason, government efforts were needed to assist farmers in implementing the ISPO.

“…The Ministry requires the consent of community members to gazette forests, but the legitimacy of consent by community authorities is often questioned in such cases (Myers et al 2016; see also Setiawan et al 2016;Prabowo et al 2017). A representative of a customary community organisation we interviewed suggested that the Ministry is gazetting forestland where there are minimal conflicts or movement from customary claimants.…”

“…The AMDAL is initiated after land has already been converted to nonforestland (cf. Setiawan et al 2016). There are many documented cases of AMDALs gone wrong by either bypassing community consultation or applying sufficient pressure or incentives that community leaders endorse the AMDAL in service of their own interests (Colchester 2006;Myers and Ardiansyah 2014).…”

The hopes of customary communities in Indonesia have recently been bolstered by Constitutional Court assurances that they have the right to control customary forest. There are, however, several obstacles to making successful claims, and there are also many situations in which forest users and customary land claimants do not stand to benefit from the recent rulings. This policy review analyses the court decisions, politics around their implementation, and considerations of types of land claimants who are excluded from the current process. We highlight groups of forest and ex-forestland users that are excluded from benefiting from the Constitutional Court decisions and are adversely affected by land use change and re-designation of land. These groups include those with claims over land in conservation areas, allocated to concessionaires for resource extraction, on land already issued to them through forest management rights, and those whose land has already been removed from the State forest land. Highlights:• Contestations around claims by customary groups on forest areas in Indonesia have been rejuvenated by 2011 and 2012 Constitutional Court decisions.• There remains significant confusion around how to apply the laws, however both State and customary community rights groups are actively advancing their preparations • The Constitutional Court decisions are specific to 'customary communities' with claims over State forest land.• Communities with claims over gazetted national parks, land issued for forestry concessions, land removed from the State forest, and migrants remain without legal basis for claiming forest land.
