ABSTRACT. The complexity of natural resource management is increasingly recognized and requires adaptive governance at multiple levels. It is particularly significant to explore the impacts of government interventions on the management practices of local communities and on target social-ecological systems. The Inner Mongolian rangeland was traditionally managed by indigenous people using their own institutions that were adapted to the highly variable local climate and were able to maintain the resilience of the social-ecological system for more than 1000 years. However, external interventions have significantly affected the rangeland social-ecological system in recent decades. In this paper, using livestock breed improvement as an example, we track government interventions from the traditional era through the collective period to the present market economy period based on a review of historical documents and case studies. Using the concept of social-ecological system resilience, we diagnose the impacts of interventions on livestock breed management in the rangeland social-ecological system, and discuss how these interventions occur. We found that government interventions in livestock breeding have gradually decoupled the pastoral society from its supporting ecological system. During this process, external powers have increasingly displaced the local community in defining the nature of rangeland management. Power asymmetry and discourse have contributed to this displacement.

“…Im Licht dieser Studien stellt sich folglich für das Umweltwissen der Umwelt-und Ökologieforschung in China nicht die Frage ob, sondern auf welche Weise ihre Wissensproduktion in die gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse involviert ist und wie dies untersucht werden kann. In ihren Studien zur Umweltpolitik in China hat Emily Yeh (2005Yeh ( , 2009) bereits angedeutet, dass das "Greening" von Chinas Westen und der chinesischen Gesellschaft im Allgemeinen zu weitreichenden Verschiebungen der sozialen Verhältnisse beiträgt. Dies soll hier im Blickfeld der Wissenschaftsforschung weiter konkretisiert werden.…”

Kurzfassung. On the basis of the analysis of scientific publications on environmental issues and issues of ecology in Western China, I show in this contribution how scientific expertise can be analyzed as an order of arguments and its social embeddedness be discussed. Using the example of environmental science in Western China, an order of knowledge is reconstructed by coding techniques and the axiomatic structure of this order is micro-analytically disclosed using argumentation analysis. Subsequently, this order is discussed in relation to the social context within which it evolved. Normative representations of subjectivities, practices and spatial arrangements are produced with references to an ideal of "harmony" in the analyzed publications. Against the background of the contested social relations in Western China, it becomes clear that these representations are involved with a cultural recomposition and contribute to stabilizing state control and national integrity in the region and reproducing unequal social relations. The analysis shows how allegedly neutral academic knowledge implicitly (re)produces social orders and thus stresses that there can be no scientific expertise that does not take a normative position. Lastly, this raises questions on why, how and with which effects we engage in research and produce scientific knowledge.

“…Setiap kawasan lindung memiliki karakteristik yang unik sehingga strategi yang dilakukan pemerintah untuk dapat mengembangkan kawasan tersebut juga berbeda-beda untuk setiap wilayah (Zinda, 2015). Di sisi lain, upaya pembangunan ekologi di China juga mendapat dukungan dari pemerintah pusat sejak tahun 2000, dimana pemerintah telah secara intensif berinvestasi di kawasan lindung namun tetap memperhatikan keseimbangan ekologi (Yeh, 2009;Li, Li, Zhang, & Fan, 2013). Salah satu kawasan lindung yang dikelola secara berkelanjutan adalah kawasan lindung Zhangjiajie-Wulingyuan.…”

“…Belajar dari best practice dari contoh kasus pada kawasan hutan lindung di China berdasarkan penelitian Zinda (2015), Li et al (2013), Yeh (2009), dan Zhong et al (2008 mengindikasikan bahwa pemerintah daerah dapat meningkatkan pengelolaan kawasan hutan lindung secara lebih baik lagi. Hutan lindung yang mampu dikelola dengan baik bukan hanya untuk meningkatkan pendapatan dari sektor pariwisata, tetapi juga untuk menjaga kelestarian kawasan hutan lindung itu sendiri.…”

The protected forest area has various functions for human living. The protected forest area is a strategic area which has a function to protect the biodiversity and macro climate, as well as water use balancer. The Act No. 12 of 2012 be the basic for Balikpapan City detailing the spatial planning (RTRW) to the detail spatial planning (RDTR) as the strategic areas of socio-cultural and the environment. The region includes three strategic areas, i.e. protected areas, education, and housing on the water. The concept of sustainable development that focuses on balancing environmental, social and economic become a macro approach to the preparation of a detailed plan for the third strategic area.Currently, the protected forest areas of Wain River and Manggar River currently indicate endangered in the future due to the growing activity over the land, as well as coal mining industry around protected areas. The article aims to determine the direction of development planned in the structuring of protected forest areas that could potentially reduce the impact of threats in the future. The results showed that the management of protected forest areas conducted through the concept of "developmental conservation". This concept was conducted through the collaboration role between the government as the regulator to the development of the natural attractions activity and the local communities as the main stakeholder of tourism development. This concept provides the protection conservation of protected forests at the same time generating economic value for local communities and government.
