Abstract

The "Forest Partnership" mechanism in Indonesia allows those with authority to manage forests, including Forest Management Units (KPH) and concession holders, to partner with local communities for forest management and profit sharing. The objective of this study is to identify the challenges that this new mechanism is facing and develop practical policy recommendations for its successful implementation. "Lombok Forest Partnership" is the first of its kind in Indonesia between Forest Management Unit (KPH) and a local community. The local community members participating in this partnership were surveyed for their expected outcomes, degree of their satisfaction about the process and profits sharing, as well as other factors affecting their participation. Respondents reported that they have obtained the information on Forest Partnership completely from KPH and NGO. Local peoples participated in Lombok Forest Partnership to improve their incomes, and recognized timber production as the most important income source with high possibility of success. However, timber production will require sizable initial capital investment for establishing nursery and other supporting activities, which cannot come from local communities lacking economic means. Thus, Forest Partnership would be difficult to succeed if KPH does not take the initiative to permit and promote local community to use special area and generate profits in their jurisdiction. KPH, in turn, can share the profits with local peoples. In this regard, KPH's leadership is the key factor in the success of Forest Partnership. However, KPH will need to cultivate their capacity to develop and implement income-generating business with local community. Although profit sharing ratio of timber and non-timber forest products among local community who participated in Lombok Forest Partnership was very high at 75%, and 90%, the level of satisfaction on profit sharing ratio was only average. The cooperative organized by the local community is also dealing with sensitive nature of allocating forest area internally among their members. Thus, keeping the principle of fairness, equity and transparency is the key for successful implementation of Forest Partnership mechanism. This first case of Forest Partnership can serve as a model for the future cases and provide the early lessons.

인도네시아의 산림 파트너십 제도는 지방 산림관리소(KPH)를 포함한 허가 권리 보유자와 지역주민 간 계약체결을 통해 산림을 관리하고 수익을 배분하는 제도이다. 본 논문의 목적은 산림 파트너십 제도를 도입한 초기에 인도네시아의 롬복 산림 파트너십에 참여한 지역주민의 인식을 바탕으로 본 제도가 직면한 도전 과제를 도출하는 데 있다. 이런 목적을 달성하기 위하여 산림관리소(KPH)와 지역주민이 체결한 인도네시아 최초의 롬복 산림 파트너십에 참여한 지역주민의 인식을 조사하였다. 롬복의 지역주민은 산림 파트너십에 대한 정보를 전적으로 KPH와 NGO로부터 획득하고 있다. 롬복의 지역주민은 소득 증진을 기대하고 산림 파트너십에 참여하였으며 목재 생산을 가장 중요하고 성공 가능성이 높은 소득증진 사업으로 인식하였다. 이런 측면에서 관할 지역의 특별산림을 지역주민이 이용할 수 있도록 허가해 주고 이로부터 발생하는 수익을 지역주민과 나누고자 하는 KPH의 리더십은 산림 파트너십 성공의 핵심 요소이다. 또한 지역주민의 소득 증진 사업을 개발하고 이행할 수 있도록 KPH의 능력을 배양하는 것은 산림 파트너십이 당면한 도전 과제이다. 롬복 산림 파트너십에 참여한 지역주민은 수익배분 비율이 매우 높음에도 불구하고 만족도는 평균에 그쳤다. 또한 조합은 조합원에게 산림 면적 및 위치를 할당하는 민감한 사안을 다루어야 한다. 이런 측면에서 지역주민 조합이 형평성과 투명성의 원칙을 지키며 전 조합원의 참여와 합의를 이끌어내는 것은 산림 파트너십의 도전 과제가 될 것이다.
