The Case of Coffee Producers in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Indonesia Reconciling Conservation and Development: The Case of Coffee Producers in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Indonesia Yulia Rahma Fitriana S.Hut. (Forestry), M.Sc. (Tropical Agrarian Systems) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Agriculture and Food Sciences Abstract Agricultural land use on the fringe of protected areas has significant impacts on the conservation of wildlife and biodiversity in the core zone. The Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) in Lampung Province, Indonesia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, providing habitat to endangered Sumatran tigers, rhinoceroses, and elephants. The government, conservation NGOs, and the private sector have tried to support the development of villages that border the Park, while increasing control over access to land and natural resources inside the Park. A major concern is that sections of the Park are occupied by thousands of squatters, mainly producing coffee for the international market. The purpose of this research was to explore the feasibility of a reward mechanism for farmers bordering the Park (namely, coffee certification) and to compare this with more conventional coercive measures such as fines and evictions. The research was conducted at multiple scales, from the household to the village and landscape levels. A case-study approach was used with two main cases: (1) coffee certification in West Lampung District and (2) enforcement of exclusion from Park resources in various districts. The research methods included document reviews, observation of farming systems, a livelihood survey of around 700 villagers in 20 villages near the Park boundary, and key informant interviews with village and district officials and Park management. Data were collected in two stages: an initial period of fieldwork in 2008-2010 and a follow-up visit in September 2014. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were undertaken. Key findings were: (1) despite some positive economic and social impact, coffee certification did not appear to be preventing Park encroachment; (2) enforcement was not implemented uniformly through the Park but targeted in specific zones, and the frequency and intensity of enforcement were not significant predictors of illegal land use; (3) enforcement was more effective when there were established local institutions and support was given by local leaders, but less effective when population pressure on the land was high and encroachment was backed by local elites who did not support Park protection. Policy makers need to find ways to integrate incentives with enforcement as these two are not alternatives but both are needed as minimal requirements. i Declaration by author This thesis is composed of my original work, and contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference has been made in the text.

Statement of parts of the thesis submitted to qualify for the award of another degree The thesis plan, the first phase of data collection in 2009 and 2010, and some preliminary analysis and conference presentations were undertaken while enrolled in the PhD program in The Paul Valéry Montpellier 3 University. However, no part of the thesis was submitted for the award of any degree at The Paul Valéry Montpellier 3 or any other university. The candidate withdrew from The Paul Valéry Montpellier 3 in 2011 and enrolled in the PhD program in the School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, The University of Queensland, in July 2014, with approval to build on the work already commenced at The Paul Valéry Montpellier 3 University. Research Involving Human or Animal Subjects The main data collection involving questionnaire surveys of rural households and interviews with key informants in villages, government agencies, and the private sector, and the plans for data analysis, were conducted while enrolled in the School of Geography and Land Use Planning, Doctoral School of Territories, Time, Societies and Development, in The Paul Valéry Montpellier 3 University. Ethical approval was obtained and oversight maintained according to the procedures of that university as part of the supervisory process under the direction of Dr Patrice Levang and Dr Jean-Christophe Castella, and of the Centre for International Forest Research (CIFOR) as the host institution during fieldwork. As advised by the Human Ethics Coordinator in the Office of Research Ethics at The University of Queensland, Dr Michael Tse, the thesis research did not require additional ethical approval through the UQ process as the data collection and analysis were conceived and implemented through The Paul Valéry Montpellier 3 University before enrolling at UQ. iv Acknowledgements Ever since I was a young girl, I have always been inspired by my father, who taught me how to chase my dreams with passion whilst being the best I can be in the process.

  • An Institutional Analysis of Deforestation : a Case Study on a Village Inside Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, West Lampung Regency, Lampung Province, Indonesia
    An Institutional Analysis of Deforestation : A Case Study on a Village inside Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, West Lampung Regency, Lampung Province, Indonesia Iwen Yuvanho Ismarson 1, Shigeaki Fujisaki 2 Abstract Indonesian forest areas – established and controlled by the government – cover 120,350,000 hectares or 65.89% of the country’s total land area. They play a vital role in the lives of the poor, in the provision of ecosystem services and in sustaining biodiversity. However, deforestation is currently continuing and damaging 42% of the country’s forest area. The continuation of deforestation, especially in Conservation Forest, the last fortress of the country forest areas, strongly indicates an institutional problem of the failure of government to enforce formal laws on forest conservation. This study aims to identify the sources and impacts of this government failure in enforcing forest conservation laws. In order to achieve the research purposes and benefits, the authors employed a singe-case study methodology to an extreme case of the establishment of a village by a local government. Since the village is located inside a National Park, a kind of Conservation Forest controlled and managed by the central government, the establishment of the village triggered conflict between central and local government. For data collection, we conducted field work and used multiple sources of evidence, namely documentations, archival records, direct and participant observation, and open-ended interviews with relevant respondents from central and local government and non-governmental organizations. This study focuses on institutions and institutional changes which are reflected in the history of the forest area and people at the case study site, the conflict process in regard to the establishment of the village inside the park, and the perception of the parties involved in the conflict.

    Workshop Proceeding SUMMARY OF WORKSHOP DISCUSSIONS ON CUSTOMARY LAND AND LAND DISPUTES June 19-20, 2002 Presented by Prof. Ny. Arie S. Hutagalung, SH, MLI Endang Pandamdari, SH, MH, CN Irene Eka Sihombing, SH, MH, CN This workshop proceeding was prepared by the consultants for the Indonesia land policy dialogue, which is sponsored by the Ministry of Home Affairs and National Planning Agency with the collaboration from the World Bank. The views expressed in this paper are those of the workshop participants and consultants and should not be attributed to the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent. Recognizing the need for an integrated land policy and anticipating the fundamental changes in the land administration system with the implementation of decentralization, the Government of Indonesia and the World Bank have engaged in a land policy dialogue during 2002- 2003. The goal of the dialogue is to help the Government to develop a National Land Policy Framework. This proceeding is a summary of a workshop on customary land and land disputes. Regarding the customary land issue, the workshop addressed the value of issuing general guidelines so that the local governments can develop their own subsidiary regulations, with such guidelines focused on issues such as criteria for declaring the existence of traditional land rights, authorities of related agencies, and community participation. Regarding land disputes, the workshop addressed the value of community participation in a bottom-up process as well as the option to establish an arbitration mechanism outside the formal legal process to solve land disputes more effectively.

Because the Corruption Court’s working area is so broad, it is because many corruption cases to be tried, it will also require large fees and a large number of judges, and ideally, it will take a long time in the process of examining. Meanwhile, on the other hand, there is an obligation for the corruption case settlement by the Corruption Court to be carried out quickly, simply and at low cost. This paper’s problems are: (a) Why is it important to reconstruct the Corruption Criminal Justice System? (b) What is the ideal construction of the Corruption Criminal Justice System to support national development in Indonesia? The research method is qualitative with juridical normative and sociological approaches, especially in collecting primary data to reconstruct the corruption criminal justice system.

Tel: 31-345-515-081. E-mail: [email protected] Received: February 3, 2015 Accepted: April 6, 2015 Online Published: May 15, 2015 doi:10.5539/jas.v7n6p20 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jas.v7n6p20 Abstract Most coffee certification schemes are developed by Northern-based businesses and NGOs to regulate the production of coffee in the South. It is questionable whether these Northern-driven standards correspond to the preferences of coffee farmers in the South. Understanding farmer preferences and taking them into account when developing or improving certification schemes is believed to lead to more internalized, and therefore more effective standards. However, there is a lack of information on farmer’s preferences, both in the academic literature as well as with the certification programs themselves. Based on conjoint analysis and interviews, this paper investigates the preferences of coffee smallholder farmers in Indonesia. The smallholders surveyed include farmers registered with global certification schemes (i.e. Rainforest Alliance, Utz certified, and 4C), a local certification scheme (Inofice) and uncertified farmers. Results indicate that farmers in the different groups do not differ much in terms of their preferences.
