Land use, land use change, and forestry issue has become attractive issue. This issue associates with a trade-off between economic development and environmental quality. Dynamics of land allocation for different land uses at regional level in Indonesia is a multi-dimensional problem, as it is influenced by socio-economic and policy factors of land use change. Land use and land-use change have a significant impact on economic growth and quality of environment. It is therefore a challenge to develop an appropriate model that can address these complexities. This paper tries to develop econometric model to study land allocation behavior. The model is considering the profit-maximization behavior in modeling the process of land use change. This model uses spatial land cover data at provincial level from 2000 to 2013 and socio-economic variables that collected from various sources. This paper briefly examine land allocation behavior for forest, plantation and food crop and mine land as function of some socioeconomic factors. The result shows that there is a competition between land-use due to land use price volatility. Other economic factor such as wage and interest rate tend to have no significant influence on land allocation behavior. In addition population also has a significant influence to land allocation behavior except to plantation allocation behavior.

Otoritas kehutanan telah mewajibkan pelaksanaan pengelolaan hutan lestari (SFM) bagi perusahaan HPH atau IUPHHK dalam pengelolaan hutan, namun prinsip SFM hanya bagian dari prisipprinsip tata kelola kelola perusahaan (GCG) yang baik. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kriteria dan indikator GCG bidang kehutanan serta bobot dan rangkingnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah survei dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam dan analisis isi peraturan CG. Penelitian dilakukan di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur dan Papua dengan responden dari perusahaan kehutanan, asosiasi dan aparat kehutanan di kedua provinsi. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa dari sudut pandang perusahaan, bobot Nilai-nilai perusahaan menduduki bobot tertinggi (37%), disusul dengan Prinsip-prinsip GCG (35%) dan Kelengkapan organ GCG (28%). Urutan yang sama diberikan oleh aparat kehutanan daerah dengan persentase bobot yang berbeda (36%, 34%, dan 30%). Demikian juga untuk pilar GCG, responden perusahaan pada dasarnya memiliki persepsi sama dengan aparat kehutanan dalam hal Email Forestry authority has enacted mandatory implementation of sustainable forest management (SFM) to concession holders (HPH or IUPHHK) in the management of the forests, however, SFM principle is only a part of good corporate governance (GCG). The study aims to identify GCG components, criteria and indicators of GCG for forestry firms. Method of survey was used in which in-dept interviews and content analysis of regulations were conducted. The study took place in East Kalimantan and Papua provinces with respondents from forestry firms, association and local forestry services.The study reveals that from firms' point of view, corporate values have highest weight (37%) , followed by GCG principles(35%) and completeness of CG body (28%). Same order of weights was given by forestry service respondents but with different weights (36%, 34% and 30%). Likewise, firm respondents shared same view with forestry service respondents with regard to role of government, corporations and society in GCG in which government role was given the highest weight (39%,36%), followed by corporations (38%,33%) and community roles (23%, 31%). CG C & I for forestry firms should adopt the existing national CG C & I, taking into account views from forestry firms and local forestry services regarding weights and ranks of the elements.
