Abstract

Social forestry is regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number 9 of 2021 concerning Management of Social Forestry which was previously regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number 83/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/10/2016 concerning Social Forestry. However, until now the implementation of social forestry is still far from expectations, until the end of 2020 until 2021 the government can only realize 4.2 million hectares of land for social forestry, which was originally targeted at 12.7 million hectares through the allocation of Community Plantation Forest Permits (HTR), Village Forest (HD), Community Forest (HKm), and Customary Forest (HA) and Partnership. Similarly, what happened in Riau Province, based on the National Indicative Map of Social Forestry Allocation (PIAPS), Riau Province received an allocation of Social Forestry covering an area of 1.42 million hectares but in its implementation only approximately 67,210 ha was realized. The many obstacles and problems in the realization of social forestry: (1) not yet maximally active community empowerment in the realization of social forestry; (2) bureaucratic services have not been maximized in supporting the running of social forestry (knowledge and assistance); (3) the lack of political support from the Provincial and Regency/Municipal Governments for the Social Forestry Program so far; (4) the lack of production equipment and infrastructure. Therefore, efforts need to be made, including (1) active community empowerment in the realization of social forestry; (2) it is necessary to increase the capacity of knowledge and assistance in realizing social forestry; (3) the need for political support from the Provincial and Regency/Municipal Governments for the Social Forestry Program in terms of rules, policies, and budgets; (4) it is necessary to provide production equipment and infrastructure (communication and transportation) to support social forestry.
