“…Nordberg (2007) used an interesting comparative political science approach and concluded that the slow reform process was due to a combination of (1) interest group struggles between involved state institutions, (2) that politicians appeared to have been reluctant to take decisions that might threaten employment or the environment, and (3) that various economic interests have had significant importance, because control over the forest resource means control over an important economic asset. We have, however, not come across any studies evaluating the forest policy implementation process using a bottom-up approach founded in empirical studies of local and regional social-ecological systems, which is the approach taken in our study.…”

“…We argue that Europe's diverse forest and woodland landscapes is a valuable ''landscape laboratory'', which can be used to better understand the perceptions of SFM among actors at different levels of governance and role of traditional village systems for implementing sustainable forest management in actual landscapes. The transition from socialist planned to market economy in post-Soviet countries of the European East is of particular and paramount interest for forest sector development in Europe (e.g., Nilsson and Shvidenko, 1999;Krott et al, 2000;Angelstam et al, 2005;Birot et al, 2005;Nilsson, 2005;UNECE, 2005;Ilavsky, 2006;Tornianen et al, 2006;Nordberg, 2007).…”

Maintenance of socio-cultural values and biodiversity at local and regional levels are new important additional criteria for the implementation of sustainable forest management. Ukraine's forest sector is in transition from planned socialist to market economy. We evaluated the role of the traditional village system, which was successful for centuries for achieving both common economic as well as these new dimensions of sustainable forest management in Ukraine's Carpathian Mountains. We used the Skole district as a case study that represents one of the most forested areas in Ukraine, and an integral part of Boiko people's ethnographic area. The village is a traditional social-ecological system defined by the traditional land use of pre-industrial cultural landscapes, and a spatial structure with land use zones satisfying different needs. Using documents on regional environmental history, analysis of socio-economic statistics, and interviews with local land users, we evaluated the extent to which the traditional village system supports socio-cultural dimensions of sustainable forest management. Our review of environmental history indicates that after different phases of cultural landscape development during several 100 years, the traditional village system is still a basic unit of the Skole district's forest landscapes. However, data and interviews show that the traditional village system is endangered. Making use of the total economic value of forest landscape resources, including wood and non-wood products and services based on cultural values and biodiversity, is an urgent task. Support of traditional village socio-cultural functions and land use systems including fields, wooded grasslands and forests should be milestones in a regional program of sustainable forest management. Traditional village system zoning and land use systems would be good indicators of sustainable forest landscapes. #

“…Inersia pemerintah -dalam arti menghindari pembuatan keputusan untuk menghasilkan hasil yang lebih efisien secara sosial-adalah sebagai dampak dari kombinasi formalisasi birokrasi, penghindaran terhadap risiko dari para pegawai pemerintah, dan adanya struktur insentif yang saat ini dinikmati para pihak sehingga mendorong kepada penolakan keputusan untuk berubah. Terjadinya inersia pemerintah, menurut Nordberg (2007) juga disebabkan oleh karena adanya kepentingan politik jangka pendek dan kepentingan ekonomi, sehingga proses reformasi yang membutuhkan waktu relatif lama dan alokasi sumber daya yang besar menjadi cenderung diabaikan. Padahal, menurut Reich (1995), reformasi yang luas hanya mungkin terjadi bila ada kemauan politik yang cukup dan ketika perubahanperubahan dirancang dan dilaksanakan oleh para perencana dan pelaksana yang handal.…”

ABSTRAKAdanya kepastian status kawasan hutan menjadi prasyarat penting bagi terwujudnya tata kelola hutan yang baik. Namun dengan adanya kesalahan prosedur penetapan kawasan hutan di masa lalu yang hingga saat ini belum diperbaiki, menjadi salah satu kendala besar untuk mewujudkan kepastian kawasan hutan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hambatan-hambatan utama pengukuhan kawasan hutan di Provinsi Riau dengan menggunakan format eksplanatif dan pendekatan sejarah, selain itu data sekunder dikumpulkan dari berbagai sumber. Rentang waktu kajian dimulai sejak tahun 1967 sampai dengan tahun 2015. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa hambatan utama pengukuhan kawasanhutan adalah adanya konflik laten penguasaan lahan antara pemerintah dan pihak-pihak lainnya yang belum diselesaikan. Konflik berawal dari diterbitkannya Surat Keputusan Menteri Kehutanan Nomor 173/Kpts-II/1986 tentang Tata Guna Hutan Kesepakatan yang menetapkan seluruh wilayah Provinsi Riau menjadi kawasan hutan. Selain itu rezim peraturan pengukuhan kawasan hutan yang ada saat ini cenderung digunakan sebagai instrumen pengukuhan hak atas lahan daripada instrumen penataan fungsi hutan.Cara pandang ini berdampak kepada sulitnya menyelesaikan tugas tata batas dan penetapan kawasan hutan di lapangan.

“…The Carpathian Mountain range is Europe's second longest mountain range, approximately 1,500 km long and spanning seven countries. The mountains run northwest to southeast through western Ukraine, a region with over 40% forest cover that accounts for 20% of total national forested area (Nordberg 2007). The Carpathian region contains high conservation value forests, including the largest remaining stands of old growth Fagus sylvatica, over 200 endemic plant species, and a full complement of large European mammals.…”

“…Ukraine's state forestry enterprises (SFEs) have historically conducted and administered all aspects of timber harvesting operations. Private sector logging and transportation markets are beginning to develop (Nordberg 2007, Soloviy & Cubbage 2007, a transitional process illustrative of economies undergoing economic liberalization. Because there is little public funding available for Ukraine's forestry sector (Soloviy & Cubbage 2007), forest carbon projects could provide investment to modernize technology and promote sustainable forest management.…”

Forest carbon projects in the Ukrainian Carpathians: an assessment of potential community impacts and benefits

. 2017. Forest carbon projects in the Ukrainian Carpathians: an assessment of potential community impacts and benefits. Ann. For. Res. 60(1): 3-17.Abstract. Reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+) is a frequently promoted climate change mitigation strategy. As forest carbon projects proceed, we are learning how they affect local sovereignty and resource access, particularly in developing economies. Central and Eastern Europe's temperate forests offer potential for projects, yet little is known about how the sociopolitical context of these transitional economies may influence project success. In this article, we enhance understanding of potential community impacts and explore opportunities for fair benefit distribution in Ukraine's Carpathian Mountain region. Through a thematic qualitative and interpretive analysis of interviews and observational data, we: (1) describe what community-level forest uses and tenure rights may be affected by forest carbon projects; and (2) explore the opportunities and obstacles of fair benefit distribution and community engagement in projects in the region. Our data show that local communities in the region are important forest-dependent stakeholders, relying on the forest for fuelwood, non-timber forest products, recreation, and other intangible benefits. This indicates the need for strong social safeguards in developing forest carbon projects. While no mechanisms exist for direct revenue sharing, communities could derive other benefits that improve the local social, economic, and ecological situation. Our results further suggest that lessons from projects in developing economies can be informative to project development in post-socialist, transitioning economies.
