Social forestry is one of the programs delivered by the Indonesian government to distribute forest ownership to society. The program consisted of village forest, customary forest, community forest, a people forest plantation, and partnership for forestry. This study merely focused on the community forest in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to analyze the context and problems during the implementation process of permit delivery for community forests in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A qualitative method was used in this research to understand the case of community forests in the study site. Data were collected using an interview, non-participant observation, and secondary document. We find that many groups of farmers have not received the permit for forestry management because of regulatory constraints. The problems are induced by many policies in the forestry sector regulating various forms of forest management permits contradicting the principle of the decentralized forest management policy. We recommend to the government to simplify the process of forest permit management, especially for the community forest.

The growing body of literature addresses the role of state and non-state actors in the programme for reducing climate change risk. Unfortunately, the research studies collaboration among the stakeholders is extremely scarce. This paper contributes to the recent debates by seeking the collaboration between local government and civil societies in taking part in the issue of reducing climate change effect. By looking in-depth at the green Siak programme in Indonesia, we portray the actors, activities, and programme collaborated and conducted along with government and non-government organizations. This research applied a qualitative approach. The data were collected using interviews and secondary sources. The results show that the local government, as the programme initiator, can develop a mutual relationship with various civil society organisations. The programme covers environmental preservation and community forestry, contributed to reducing climate change impact in the long term. In addition, the programme is also supported by the private sector, leading to complete collaboration among triangle actors (government, civil society, and private sector). The findings add to our knowledge of climate change risk reduction by considering the collaboration processes among the actors. It is also helpful to strengthen the practice of climate change mitigation.

The coastal regions had a great ecosystem and potential for the sustainability of life. At the same time, growing human and environmental pressures in coastal areas significantly impact coastal systems. Various problems arise in the development and utilisation of the coastal regions. The issues have prompted the importance of studying coastal area management policies. Specifically, legal uncertainty in the management of utilisation has initiated the formulation of the RZWP3K policy. This study uses stakeholder analysis to map the actors involved and their influence on coastal area management policies. This study was conducted using a qualitative method and stakeholder analysis to explore and classify the actors shaping coastal area management policies. The stakeholder analysis method classified constituents into important actors, contextual fixers, users, and audiences using variables of interest and impact. Developing policies for coastal management is hampered by the conflicting agendas of many parties and their multiple goals and worries. This study recommends that the government maintain stakeholders by keeping them informed, actively groomed, monitored and managed, or satisfied. This paper contributes to conceptual stakeholder analysis literature to analyse coastal area management policies.
