“…Results of previous studies (Batunacun et al, 2019;Senoaji et al, 2020) explain some of the causes of forest conflicts in Asia, including the destruction of community-owned land, lack of employment opportunities for local communities, and lack of consultation with the district. Furthermore, this is due to the underlying causes of conflict, such as tenurial disputes between state lands and civil rights (Yasmi et al, 2010), weak coordination between government agencies (Golar et al, 2020), conservation and development policies resulting in the banishment of local communities (Sahide et al, 2019). These studies reinforce the paper's assumption that the trigger for forest resource utilization conflicts is an imbalance of function and neglect of the role of communities in forest resource management.…”

This research aims to determine the causes of land-use conflicts and formulate a participatory conflict resolution model of the Forest Management Unit (KPH) of Kulawi. Through interviews with respondents using the purposive sampling method. The study included the community around the forest area, local government, KPH, Department of Agriculture, BPDAS-HL, and local government. Data analysis was stakeholder's and land use conflict by using problem trees analysis. The study results show that the battle occurred not only because of the community's factor of accessing the area illegally but also because the KPH has not performed its function correctly. Some factors cause enforcement's failure, such as lack of understanding of the area and community empowerment. Some alternative solutions desired by the community: (1) The government through related agencies should supervise forest areas, (2) Clear boundaries between community-owned land, villages, and forest areas, (3) Community empowerment by utilizing potential forest product resources and (4) Granting management rights to community's forest claimed by the community. There are two models of conflict resolution to be offered. First, the KPH needs the collaboration of parties to resolve land-use conflicts. Second, community involvement as the main subject is significant in every stage of conflict resolution. The KPH supports improving community capacity related to competence in conflict resolution is indispensable.

One of them is land use and ownership (Irawan et al, 2016;Sahide et al, 2019).…”

“…There is some evidence that community activity within the forest area existed before the formation of the FMU, being the reason for the community to do forest utilizing. In some locations, it was found that the activity conducted by the people in the forest area was a hereditary activity performed by their predecessors [34][35][36][37]. The form of utilization is quite diverse with varying intensity (Table 2).…”

This paper examines the Forest Management Unit's (FMU) role in enhancing access to forest area utilization, especially in production and protected community-based forests, to suppress the rate of deforestation. We research five FMU in central Sulawesi. The analysis method is qualitative based on emic information from FMU, community, academic, local government, and direct field observations. This paper explains that public access in forest resource utilization is a deciding factor in helping the community face the impact of economic crises. To make it happen, the primary role of FMU is necessary. FMU Should be increasing public access to the state-owned forest by optimizing the facilitating functions. Providing investment opportunities for forest management based on the community in partnership schemes can realize a broad impact and national issues on empowering forest communities. FMU can also prioritize the partnership cooperation programs by implementing social forestry programs, instantly absorbing significant community participation.

Within the conservation bureaucracy there tends to be a strict interpretation of formal rules to prohibit community access and to imagine themselves as the last line of defense for forest protection.…”

“…Therefore, the conservation bureaucracy has traditionally defined their formal role as an agency that works to maintain biodiversity resources. Meanwhile, informally they also function as another bureaucracy, seeking to continue to expand their role by pursuing the goal of increasing the number of staff and increasing access to a portion of the budget as a whole (Fatem et al, 2018in Sahide et al, 2019.…”

Analysis of the relationship between inequality, agrarian reform and corruption as well as public administration reform has not been discussed, both in terms of the formation and implementation of agrarian reform in Indonesia. This article aims to explore the concept and implementation of agrarian reform, as well as the influence of governance conditions in the management of natural resources in the implementation of agrarian reform. With the characteristics of agrarian issues in Indonesia, land administration and those related to the implementation of redistribution of benefits from the use of natural resources need to be strengthened with appropriate concepts or theories, including public information disclosure as a fulfillment of substantive and deliberative implementation of democracy. In addition, by referring to experiences in other countries, agrarian reform needs to be carried out by reducing the level of clientelism and implemented through a number of corruption prevention and prosecution programs, especially in the fields of land and other natural resources.
