Analisis Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Program Perhutanan Sosial (Studi Kasus di Kabupaten Sanggau Propinsi Kalimantan Barat)

Abstract

Participation is one of the benchmarks for the success of the Community Forestry program, a development program in the forestry sector that provides access and increases the community’s capacity in managing state forests. This research aims to analyze the level of community participation in managing state forests in the Community Forestry scheme. The participation level was measured on three stages of activity (planning, implementation, and evaluation) using the Arnstein participation concept. Data were collected using in-depth interview techniques, distributing questionnaires, and document reviews. The data analysis employs  a qualitative descriptive analysis approach and non-parametric statistics. The participation forms include contributions of thoughts, ideas, suggestions, contributions of energy in planning, implementation, and evaluation activities. This research suggests that the participation level in the study area is in the delegated power stage, through projects/activities carried out by outsiders to achieve specific goals. The Hkm in Sanggau Regency was initiated and facilitated by various parties with intensive and sustainable empowerment activities.
