Model Pengembangan Kelembagaan Pembentukan Wilayah Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan di Provinsi Papua
Abstract: The implementation
of forestry policy in Papua Province has not been significantly optimal as
indicated by the high poverty rate around and within the region and the
increasing rate of forest degradation. To overcome the problems of the forestry
sector, a policy is introduced in the form of Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan (KPH)
or Forest Management Units. This policy is an enabling condition for the
realization of sustainable forest resources and community welfare. The success
of KPH is largely determined by the capacity of local stakeholders that includes
understanding, coordination and cooperation, and readiness of the organizations
that manage KPH. Therefore, this research was conducted to design an
institutional model of establishing the region of KPH and formulate
organizational structure of KPH. The study was conducted in Jayapura of Papua
Province and Regency of Yapen Islands by the use of purposive sampling method
for data/information collecting and decision-making tool of Analytical
Hierarchy Process (AHP) for data analyzing, which was then analyzed
descriptively. The results showed that the performance in establishing the KPH
regions in Papua Province was at the medium level of achievement or
approximately 29.50% of the criteria and indicators for the formation of KPH
regions. This condition was considered low as result of the poor understanding
and ineffective cooperative relationships and coordination among stakeholders.
Thus, the formulation of the institutional model should be directed to increase
the role, capacity, and effectiveness of stakeholder relations. Regarding to
the findings, a state owned enterprise is viewed as highly feasible to manage
KPH in Papua Province.
