“…While Leone (2019) shows that the effectiveness of an institution depends on its gender composition, greater emphasis should be placed on the collective placement of women within the institution. Previous studies showed that women continue to be under-represented in institutional activities (Catacutan and Naz 2015;Dewi et al 2020;Nhem and Lee 2019). Men are primarily in charge of forest resources, ranging from socio-political activities to valuable ones that can be sold on the market, such as timber (Agarwal 2009).…”

“…The condition is contrary to the research results of Wulandari and Inoue (2018), stating that women have significant roles in supporting sustainable forest management through PS. So far, women's participation in management has been primarily in reproductive and productive activities (firewood, animal feed, and non-timber products), while socio-political activities that determine institutional plans were very rare (Dewi et al 2020;Marin and Kuriakose 2017). Socio-cultural norms often made it difficult for women to participate in PS programs, which is one factor that supports this (UN-REDD 2011; Wulandari and Inoue 2018).…”

“…On the other hand, women are responsible for the household and husband. However, it does not guarantee that they are officially registered under their given name (Dewi et al 2020). As a result, women have significantly less access to control land resources than men (Agarwal 2009;Vázquez-García and Ortega-Ortega 2017).…”

“…Community involvement in the process of developing land-use plans and participation in meeting activities are examples of farmer participation (Ruhimat 2017;Wulandari and Inoue 2018;Yeny and Suharti 2020). In contrast, gender engagement is linked to the role and voice of women farmers in determining forestry activities at LMDH Sumber Makmur (Dewi et al 2020). It is also aligned with the current regulation, stating that gender is one of the criteria for evaluating PS implementation.…”

Changes in the Social Forestry or Perhutanan Sosial (PS) scheme have been made by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia, particularly in the state-owned forestry enterprise (Perhutani) working area. A forestry partnership is one of the schemes being developed to replace the previous scheme, Community Forest Management (PHBM). However, increased PS area permits are not always accompanied by increased farmer trust and understanding of the program. This study aimed to determine the institution’s effectiveness and institutional condition in the era of PS policy, which is currently a government priority program. One of the community groups granted a management permit is the Forest Village Community Institution (LMDH) Sumber Makmur, located in the Forest Management Unit (KPH) Malang. This study was conducted from December 2020 to March 2021 using a qualitative descriptive method as in-depth interviews and questionnaires with assessment indicators. Respondents were chosen randomly from the entire population using the Slovin formula. The results showed that the institutional effectiveness of LMDH Sumber Makmur still tended to decrease. The confidence level of farmers in the PS program was only around 28.9%, and the level of understanding was 26.7%. The results also showed a low percentage value of farmer participation, external support, the availability of facilities, and gender perspective. Consequently, the government needs to monitor institutions and community groups running PS programs to see institutional developments in each location. Institutional development is essential as an entrance for people to manage forests independently.

Although harnessing full community participation in natural resource management produces positive ecological and economic outcomes, the specific roles of men and women in peatland communities are often overlooked. This study investigates the differentiated knowledge and roles of both men and women in peatland management in Rantau Baru, a fishing and farming Peat Care Village (Desa Peduli Gambut) in Riau Province, Indonesia. Primary data were collected through a survey of 152 households conducted from January–February 2020 and subsequent follow up interviews with community members. Modifying the Harvard Analytical Framework, the study examines knowledge levels of men and women as well as productive (peatland cultivation and fishery) activity, reproductive or domestic (childcare and household finance) activity, and sociopolitical (community meetings) activity. It finds that men are significantly more knowledgeable about peatlands than women and that peatland agricultural activities are dominated by men, but that gender roles are more evenly distributed in fishery activities. Women and men play complementary roles in “reproductive activities” of the household, but women do not participate nearly as much as men in the public sphere of “sociopolitical activities,” such as attending community, association, and village meetings. The study provides new insight into the community’s knowledge of peatland according to gender, and the potential role of both male and female community members in peatland restoration. Any project or program on peatland restoration should recognize the basic features and differences of gender roles and the specific needs of men and women to ensure the optimal contribution of all community members to peatland management and restoration.
