The Tanah Grogot Tanjung Harapan district that have a high rate of forest conversion is Batu Batu Engau Pasir Belengkong Engau and Long Ikis Distric. Muara Komam Muara Samu Batu Sopang Kuaro Long Ikis ANALYSIS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF FOREST CONVERSION INTO Long Kali 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 OIL PALM PLANTATION IN PASER REGENCY From 2001 to 2011, the size of oil palm plantation has increased into 232.103 Ha. Diagram: Rate Of Land Use Change of Oil Palm Plantation Tanah Grogot Tanjung Harapan Batu Engau Pasir Belengkong Muara Komam Muara Samu Batu Sopang Kuaro Long Ikis Long Kali - 2.000 4.000 6.000 8.000 Beside the forest changed mostly into oil palm plantation, it also changed into another land uses such as settlements, dry lands, fields and others. The typology area of forest conversion can be identified by value of the speed of forest conversion into oil palm Plantation that are experiencing fast change, medium and slow. Table: Typology Area Of Forest Conversion Conversion Districs Typology ANALYSIS OF TYPOLOGY AREA Typology I (Fast) Long Ikis and Batu Engau Typology II Long Kali, Kuaro, Muara Komam, (Medium) Pasir Belengkong. Muara Samu and Tanjung Harapan Typology III (Slow) Batu Sopang Causing Factors of forest conversion into Oil Palm Plantation in Paser Regency Factors Information Delphy Analysis Result Regulations There are regulation of developing area cause people to convert the forest to oil palm plantation Monitoring of Forest Government institution related with the regulations developed and Conversion Control permitted in Paser Regency. Investment There are investments in developing of oil palm plantation Attractiveness increase the forest conversion into oil palm plantation in Paser Regency Economic Growth The high income of farmer of oil palm plantation, high price of lands used for plantation cause the conversion of forest there.

ANALYSIS THE CAUSING FACTORS OF FOREST CONVERSION INTO OIL PALM PLANTATION IN PASER REGENCY Table: Controlling Directions Of forest conversion Into Oil Palm Plantation In Paser Regency Controlling Directions Typology I Typology II Typology III - Establish a special Police to regularly patrols in the forest area - Establish a technical team Supervision and consideration of forest conversion - Award to the goverment under control of forest conversion - Compensation for reforestation/regeneration - Improving the Management of forest through REDD strategies - Identification and rebuild the traditional wisdom of indigeneous people in forest management - Remove subsidy - Increase taxes - Application of that encourage - Application of zoning the expansion of zoning regulations regulations to oil palm to establish establish Plantation typology area that typology area COMPOSSING THE CONTROLLING DIRECTION OF FOREST - Application of limited conversion that the area CONVERSION INTO OIL PALM PLANTATION IN PASER REGENCY zoning should be regulations to converted establish - Issuance of Plantation if any provision typology area of replacement area and the cost of that should not reforestation be converted - Selection of superior oil palm plantation - Identification and development of other economic sector Conclusion • THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FOREST CONVERSION INTO OIL PALM PLANTATION IN PASER REGENCY CAN BE IDENTIFIED THAT FOREST HAS CHANGED MOSTLY INTO OIL PALM PLANTATION, and it has also changed into another land uses such as settlements, dry lands, rice fields etc. Furthermore, forest conversion into oil palm plantation in Paser Regency in the period of 2001-2011 takes quickly in Batu Engau Distric and Long Ikis Distric. • Factors are causing the conversion based on the delphi analysis are REGULATIONS, MONITORING OF FOREST CONVERSION CONTROL, INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS, ECONOMIC GROWTH, POPULATION GROWTH, LAND OWNERSHIP, LAND CAPACITY, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL/CULTURE. • Controlling direction of forest conversion in Paser Regency by CONSIDERING THE CAUSING FACTORS OF CONVERSION AND THE TYPOLOGY AREA, THAT IS TO MAINTAIN THE EXISTING OF FOREST AREAS, AND TO DECREASE THE INFLUENCE OF CAUSING FACTORS OF FOREST CONVERSION INTO OIL PALM PLANTATION.
