Collaborative forest management of teak forest in Central Java
METHODS
In Java, various activities were carried out and a number of methods were
used.
In Year 1, the baseline study about PHBM implementation in KPH Pemalang and
KPH Randublatung used more than one method. This was due to the wide variety of
information that needed to be collected. The research methods and tools that
were used are described below.
Survey
This method was used to collect information on livelihood, resource, and
resource use. For this purpose, 40 respondents were selected as follows: 30
respondents were farmers who worked on forest lot (forest farmer), and 10
respondents were board members of LMDH (Lembaga Masyarakat Desa Hutan) or
community organisation for partnership with Perhutani on PHBM program.
The survey collected information related to individual livelihood, which was
represented by the household. The data also shows the prosperity level of each
actor who worked on forest land and the background, so that the typology of the
forest farmer could be described.
Key Informant Interview (KI)
Key informant Interview was used to obtain the information related to:
Resources and resource use Institutions PHBM agreements
Focus Group Discussion (FGD)
Focus group discussion was conducted to collect relevant information on:
Resources and resource use Institutions PHBM agreements
Role Playing
Role playing was used to support FGD for resources and resource use.
Venn Diagram
This is a participatory method to discover participants’ perspectives with
regards to relations among the institutions that exist in the village. By
drawing the relationship among institutions, participants could express their
perceptions easily.
Metaplan
This method was used to enable more opportunities for each participant to
freely express their ideas and thoughts.
Ice Breaker
Ice breakers, such as games, were used to reinvigorate the discussion
environment so that the participant could relax during the discussion. It also
helped reduce the dominant role of the facilitator. Ice-breakers were
facilitated by the participants, and sometimes by the facilitators. Ice-breakers
were also used to gauge the moods of the participants (how they felt during
certain stages of the discussion) and whether the participants felt the
discussion met their objectives, etc.
