“…In addition, the operations at the plantation have not gone without interruptions. This is representative of the situation in Indonesia as a whole, where HTI have faced problems for decades with logistics and road infrastructure, erratic distribution of subsidies from the Reforestation Fund, and technical problems at the mills, as exemplified in this particular case (Pirard and Cossalter 2006).…”

“…Incorporated in 1992 1 , the company, Tanjung Redeb Hutani (TRH) has changed ownership over time, in part as a result of the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s and also because of the wrongdoings of the former Indonesian forestry tycoon Bob Hasan (Pirard and Cossalter 2006). The majority shareholder is still a private Indonesian investor, but 40% of the shares belong to the parastatal forestry company Inhutani.…”

Industrial timber plantations are controversial in many parts of the world, including in Indonesia. Knowledge of their perceived impacts among local populations is important for better management and integration of plantations in the rural landscape. To advance knowledge on this topic, we used the Q-method in a case study in East Kalimantan province, Indonesia, where a large-scale acacia plantation is established. Three groups emerge from the analysis, with contrasting viewpoints: a first group exhibits enthusiasm over the development of the plantation, including recognition of environmental services provided; the two other groups express dissatisfaction, either generally on all aspects or with a focus on the plantation as an obstacle to local development. Research has shown that the Q-method needs to be complemented by other tools such as household surveys to compensate for its limitations (e.g. lack of representativeness in all groups and lack of information on the determinants of inclusion in a given group).
