Analysis of the implementation of regional regulation no 14 of 2019 concerning forest management to drive improvements of forest resources governance in the province of West Nusa Tenggara

Abstract

To optimize the role and function of forest management at the site level, the provincial government has issued a regional regulation (PERDA) No. 14 of 2019 concerning forest management, which consists of 18 chapters and 64 articles. This regional regulation (PERDA) is expected to be a guide, basis, and conceptual framework in every decision making in the forestry sector in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). Thus, the presence of PERDA No. 14 of 2019 has a high urgency in determining the direction of forestry development in NTB, hence requiring a comprehensive process to oversee its implementation. This study aims to analyze more deeply related to the effectiveness and strategy of implementing PERDA No. 14 of 2019, where the results can be used as a reference for the government in optimizing forestry development policies and programs in NTB. This study uses a policy valuation approach with a retrospective (ex-post) scope of analysis, namely the analysis process carried out after the policy action is carried out. The criteria used to analyze the implementation of the PERDA No. 14 of 2019 focus on six main criteria, including policy effectiveness, efficiency in policy implementation, adequacy of needs, alignment in policy implementation, responsiveness, and the accuracy of the policies implemented.
