Tenurial conflict between parties in the technical implementation unit of the Banjar Regency Forest Management Unit in the Province of South Kalimantan

Abstract

The main issues in the management of forest resources at present, include: legal uncertainty over forests, high tenure conflicts over forest areas and uncertainty over community management areas over forest areas. One of the root causes of legal uncertainty over forests is overlapping policies governing forest management. The purpose of this study was to find a solution in handling tenurial conflicts at UPT KPH Banjar Regency. In the implementation of tenure conflict research the methodology used was interviews. The results of this study found different perceptions about forest, where the community considers the forest when there is still physical forest, on the other hand forestry based on law 41 of 1999 is not so and there are different perceptions between BPN and Forestry relating to the status of the region. BPN together with the Regional Government are the parties that strengthen the position of the community with the certificate issued and the definitive village decision issued. The existence of FMUs is expected to be streamlined to build synergies between institutions in forest utilization and management as outlined in a work program, therefore integrated coordination of the Forestry Planning Agency, Director General of Forestry Production Development, Directorate General of Forest and Land Rehabilitation, BPHP, BPKH and BPDAS.
