“…This was exactly what initially happened in the Bebidas case. The results of this study are also in line with the findings of Fisher et al (2020), Rokhim et al (2020), Riggs et al (2016) that limited knowledge and understanding of regulations, social conditions, and scientific-based knowledge have caused forest communities to lose in case of disputes/conflicts, especially with authorities and/or corporations related to land and natural resource management. The existence of 'resource' support in various contexts is also a capacity that results from collaborative action.…”

Land tenure conflicts in Lombok occured due to social interactions between community and state institutions. These were triggered by the unilateral claims of some of the villagers of Bebidas who acted on behalf of indigenous communities to take back what they believed to be their ancestral land in the Mount Rinjani National Park area. This paper analyzes how stakeholders generated conflict resolution efforts that emphasized inclusive efforts by collaborative action through dialogue based on collaborative governance theory. Data were obtained from interviews with several key informants from various levels of government, as well as members of the Bebidas village community and NGO representatives. Documentation and observation were also carried out to obtain data validity over sustained data collection and analysis process. Findings show that conflict resolution resulted from a long-term process that built up from dialogues involving various stakeholders, which encouraged the emergence of Mutual Agreements and Memorandum of Understanding as milestones to end conflicts. This helped to initiate peaceful relations. Findings suggest that capacity building, promoting awareness, and technical training to support rights and livelihoods on an ongoing basis help to address conflicts rooted in knowledge imbalances. In addition, expanding conservation partnership through community empowerment and ecosystem restoration programs assist in maintaining resources and supporting economic benefits underpin ideals of sustainable longer term uses of the Rinjani.

According to The State of Indonesia’s Forest 2020 report, 23.96 M ha of peat ecosystems in Indonesia are currently damaged. Peat ecosystems have a high level of vulnerability to landscape changes. Some of the main functions of peatland are ecological conservation, energy, and agriculture. One of major agricultural activities on peatland is oil palm plantation. Extra strict land management is needed to reach sustainability and minimize disaster (e.g., land fires) following The Guidelines for the Utilization of Peatlands for Oil Palm Cultivation, regulated by the Minister of Agriculture No. 14/2009. Still, many other policies also control aspects of protection and cultivation on peatlands. The research focused on analyzing dynamics of spatial policy on peatlands for oil palm cultivation. Spatial policies used included spatial pattern of Jambi Province, land permits, and maps of the status of forest areas. This study analyzed inconsistency of policies on spatial patterns, permits, and forest areas status in oil palm plantations on peatland. This research was conducted in Jambi Province, where 13.86% (121,290 ha) was on peatland. The analysis used a logical alignment matrix and GIS. The results showed that oil palm plantations on peatland with HGU/other permits generally aligned to spatial planning, permit, and forest area status. Its area reached 50,598 ha. Peatland utilization should go through suitable technical planning stages and considering actual land use/tenure and water system functioning.

“…Palm‐oil plantations have been noted to contribute to local economies by creating jobs, promoting local infrastructure, and helping to alleviate rural poverty 3–5 . However, various sources have reported that land grabbing from corporations to enable large‐scale biofuel production can lead to social conflict between locals and companies 6–8 . Such environmental and social drawbacks of biofuel production are often overlooked as countries gain various economic benefits.…”

The trend towards increasing biofuel blending mandates in several countries has raised a sustainability trilemma, especially for biofuels derived from palm oil. This study aims to find the most sustainable hydrogen production technology for the production of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) and biofuel blending. It assesses the sustainability of palm‐oil‐derived biofuel blending of biodiesel (FAME), HVO, and petroleum diesel. There are three hydrogen production options for HVO: steam methane reforming (SMR), biomass gasification (BG), and electrolysis from solar energy (PVELC). The use of any production option depends on a combination of fuel quality standards and the prioritized sustainability considerations. The fuel quality aspects consist of constraints on the quality of the blend based on EURO‐2, EURO‐4, and EURO‐5 fuel standards, while sustainability priorities lead to varying policy preferences involving economic, environmental, and social sustainability considerations. There are two approaches to determine the most sustainable blend: using the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method and using the sustainability index. The results show that scenarios that favor the economic dimension tend to produce a higher FAME blend, whereas those that prioritize the environment emphasize higher HVO blending with PVELC as the hydrogen production technology. Finally, any scenario that prefers the social aspects tends to produce higher biofuel blending. Overall, to achieve higher sustainability, higher biofuel blending is needed. The policy analysis section concludes that the biofuel policy direction should focus more on combining HVO and FAME so that each can offset the disadvantages of the other. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
