A. Cunn adalah salah satu jenis tanaman pokok yang dikembangkan pada Hutan Tanaman Industri Pulp (HTI) sebagai bahan baku pulp dan kertas. Permasalahan pada jenis tanaman ini, produktivitasnya masih rendah serta daurnya masih panjang. Untuk kesinambungan suplai kayu, maka perusahaan HTI menurunkan daur tanaman dari umur 6 tahun menjadi umur 4-5 tahun agar bahan baku kayu tetap tersedia sesuai kebutuhan Industri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dampak penurunan daur terhadap nilai produksi dan sifat kayunya, kondisi ekologis serta aspek sosial. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan membuat plot sampling pada areal HTI untuk mengamati aspek produksi dan sifat kayunya yang meliputi parameter volume pohon, sifat kayu dan nilai financial sedangkan aspek sosial difokuskan pada serapan tenaga kerja terhadap pengelolaan HTI. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa produksi tertinggi pada umur antara 4 -5 tahun, diindikasikan dengan tercapainya daur teknis dan ekonomis pada umur tersebut. Sedangkan sifat kimia dan dimensi serat kayunya tergolong kualitas I dan II dari umur 4-6 tahun, dengan rendamen tertinggi pada kayu umur 4 tahun. Aspek sosial khususnya penyerapan tenaga kerja menunjukkan nilai terbesar pada daur umur 4 tahun. Berdasakan hasil kajian ini diperoleh bahwa penurunan daur HTI tidak berdampak negatif terhadap pengelolaan hutan lestari. ABSTRACT Keywords: Acacia crassicarpa, decrease of plantation rotation, sustainable forest management Acacia crassicarpaA. Cunn is one among the that developed in industrial timber plantations and used as raw material for pulp and paper industries. Generally this plantation has two main problems, which are low productivity and long time rotation. The problems have made industrial timber plantations reduced the rotation from six years to four and five years to fulfill the requirement for wood intake. The research aims at evaluating the effect of reduction rotation on productivity, wood properties, and financial aspect. This research used sample plots of 0,1 ha for each stand age to observe the aspects of production and properties of wood, and used labor demand approach to observe social and financial aspects. The result showed that the highest productivity rates of occurred at the fourth and fifth years. The wood properties aspect show that the pulp quality of at the age of 4-6 years is classified into the first and second quality class. The social and financial aspects, especially the labor showed that the highest rate demand occurred in the fourth. The result also showed that the reduction of rotation does not have negative effect on the principles of sustainable forest management.

The REDD+ readiness phase leading up to implementation has been slow and has fallen short of expectations.In this article, we present REDD+ experiences from Indonesia and Vietnam with a focus on the readiness phase, examining policy processes at the central, provincial and local levels. Interviews with key stakeholders (officials, donors, NGOs, village representatives) and data from household surveys suggest that efforts have been concentrated at the central level, with the provincial level mainly feeding data into the process and the local level practically left to its own devices. Furthermore, the REDD+ design may be misguided as it exempts the major stakeholders, namely the state and private enterprises, from declaring emissions sub-targets in the national carbon reduction action plans, and focuses exclusively on rural forest dwellers who struggle to understand the ideas that underpin REDD+.

Farmers do not yet have extensive knowledge on the production economic. Therefore, the effectiveness of social forestry (SF) practices in providing economic benefits is still questionable. The study aimed to analyze the economic scale of SF as a lessons for the acceleration of land allocation of SF program. The study was focused on two schemes (community forestry and partnership), and two models of commodity (agroforestry and ecotourism). Study were located in six villages in DI Yogyakarta and East Nusa Tenggara. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interview, and documentation study. Economic scale was analyzed by break even point with profit contribution. The results showed that the economic scale on agroforestry was between 0.16-9.33 hectare, influenced by commodity preference especially multi purposes tree species. While economic scale for ecotourism was at least 542,897 visitors a year, and affected by number of ecotourism attraction. This study implies to provide policy recommendations: (1) ecotourism will be effective when it is conducted in the forest areas which have multi-attraction spots, and managed by community group with strong network, (2) the permit of timber harvesting within SF area must be easier and more open, and (3) the minimum area adjusted to the commodity as an important consideration for proposing SF.
