“…Above all, ADR can reduce the time and cost of conventional litigations. The United States Forest Service used ADR process to resolve forest plan appeals [57]. KFS also can organize and manage the Council for Conflict Resolution as an ADR, if necessary, based on Article 16 of the Provision of Conflict Prevention and Resolution by Public Institutions.…”

Participation by multiple actors has been emphasized in managing state forests to meet various demands on forests within a global society. Public participation was also suggested as an approach to sustainable forest management. This paper aims to investigate the legal opportunities of public participation in managing state forests in the case of the Republic of Korea (ROK). Relevant legal and policy documents were selected for content analysis and were analyzed with the levels of participation. Litigation regarding state forest conflicts was analyzed. The ROK legal system includes multiple levels of participation in managing state forests: information sharing, consultation, collaborative decision-making, and implementation. The research results indicate that various stakeholders need legal opportunities to participate in the formation and implementation of policies for the management of state forests. Regulatory enforcement is required for guaranteeing environmental rights-access to information, participation in decision-making, and standing in court. Based on research results, this paper provides us with legal insights on promoting public participation in managing state forests.

“…Although public values have shifted toward more biocentric ideals over the years, and agencies like the USDA Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) now have guidelines that call for ecosystem-based practices, the historical emphasis on commodity-utilitarian values still persists (Manring 1998). As new generations of younger, more culturally and professionally diverse employees enter the Forest Service, this traditional paradigm is likely to change (Brown and Harris 1992).…”

Kakoyannis, Christina; Shindler, Bruce; Stankey, George 2001. Understanding the social acceptability of natural resource decisionmaking processes by using a knowledge base modeling approach. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-518. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 40 p. Natural resource managers are being confronted with increasing conflict and litigation with those who find their management plans unacceptable. Compatible and sustainable management decisions necessitate that natural resource agencies generate plans that are not only biologically possible and economically feasible but also socially acceptable. Currently, however, we lack a framework to integrate socially acceptable judgments with the biological and economic factors that help define successful forest management plans. This research examines the ability of a knowledge base approach to assess the social acceptability of natural resource decisionmaking processes and to determine its suitability for use in forest management planning. We note four main caveats with using knowledge bases for evaluating social acceptability: (1) the importance of asking and answering the right question, (2) the ability of the knowledge base to become a "black box," (3) problems associated with using a numerical value to estimate a concept as complex as social acceptability, (4) and our incomplete understanding of the factors that influence social acceptability judgments. Acknowledging the caveats, however, can make the knowledge base model a useful tool in forest management planning. We determined that knowledge bases can account for various factors affecting social acceptability and can facilitate discussions about the compatibility and links among social, biological, and economic decision factors.

“…However, the development of rubber if cultivated sustainably with good and effective planning by involving all relevant stakeholders can have a positive impact on social and environment. This research concentrates on resolving agrarian conflict resolution in natural rubber plantation concessions in Jambi and in East Kalimantan with an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) approach through Social Forestry in this case with the Forestry Partnership scheme (Manring, 1998a) (Manring, 1998b).…”

This research focuses on agrarian conflict resolution strategies with an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) approach through Social Forestry in this case with the Forestry Partnership scheme in Jambi HTI concession areas and in East Kalimantan HTI concessions. The purpose of this study is to analyze conflict typologies related to sustainable natural rubber management in Jambi and in East Kalimantan, and conflict resolution strategies with forestry partnership methods as a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution approach. In addition, this study also analyzes the relationship of Social Forestry to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its impact on related parties. The main design of this study uses a qualitative approach. Data collection in this study was carried out through observation techniques, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), in-depth interviews, and secondary data. With purposive sampling techniques to communities who have partnered and who have not partnered with the company and company stakeholders. The results showed that agrarian conflicts in East Kalimantan and Jambi were relatively the same but with different scales, with the main problem most often encountered being land disputes between companies holding concession permits and communities that have had success in land management. The approach used by the company in conflict resolution is through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) through the Social Forestry program under the Forestry Partnership scheme. Social forestry under the Forestry Partnership scheme has important significance and is relatively acceptable to the parties. The main impact of the Forestry Partnership is a reduction in conflict pressure between the two sides, stability in business and improved livelihoods for the community.
