Role and interaction between local actors in community-based forest management in Upper Citarum Hulu

Abstract

The role of the community and their collaboration with other actors are the attempts that are assured to ensure the sustainability of forest management. This study analyzes the role to determine the powers and interests as well as to classify groups by analyzing the interests and influences and analyzes actor-network by using Social Network Analysis (SNA) with KUMU application. PHBM is a form of collaboration between Perum Perhutani as the program designer and forest communities. Perhutani plays as the Key Players in the program with the role of initiating the PHBM program who has great control over forest management such as monitoring and licensing access to forests, as well as Coffee Farmers as the main subject of the program. SNA analysis shows that the key actor of PHBM is LMDH as an actor who has the most connections with other actors, the information center, information broker, and also the closest with other actors since it has the shortest communication path. LMDH’s roles and interactions support the success o community-based forest management.
