Performance analysis of Aceh forest management units in Aceh’s Forest development

Abstract

Forest management and utilization in Indonesia has mandated the establishment of a Forest Management Unit as a forest management unit at the site level. The roles and functions of the FMUs are expected to be able to synergize all the basic components of the operationalization of forestry development in the context of sustainability for social, economic and ecological. This study reviewed the performance of FMUs role in Aceh. The results of the assessment of 9 criteria produce a number in the form of an index. The index value determines the performance category of FMUs where the index of 2.34-3.00 showed high performance, 1.67-2.33 FMU showed moderate performance and 1.00-1.66 showed low performance. The results of the FMU’s performance assessment in Aceh showed the range from moderate to high performance. FMUs with moderate performance are FMU Region I, FMU Region II and FMU of Pocut Meurah Intan Grand Forest Park. The FMU that is categorized as High performance is the FMU Region III. The criteria that are focused on being directed at developing FMU’s performance are mainly on the criteria for the area stability, management plans, investment mechanisms and conflict resolution.
