Abstract
The study explores the way trust among agencies is established to coordinate collective action in rehabilitating protected areas, which have been utilized, commodified, and settled. Using an ethnography approach, the fieldwork was conducted in the villages surrounding 2 protected areas of West Lampung and South Lampung Districts in Lampung Province of Indonesia. There are several factors which hinder trust building process i.e. past experiences in relation to eviction from protected areas, forest policies which are not consistent, forest status which is protected areas, and the attitude of forest officers which consider land users as has no responsibility for conservation. Among those factors, forest policies which discursively and materially incorporate trust-building are the main factors which may help forest land rehabilitation process. Trust building process through negotiation where prejudice is turned into understanding among agencies still offer the possibility for forest rehabilitation efforts in the context of commodified landscape, agrarian change, and migration. However, negotiation is established through 'give and take' mechanisms, trial and error, and a learning process. Landscape transformation where forest land rehabilitation occurs relies on the 'art' of 'negotiation' at a local level.
Highlights
Forest of south Papua is characterized as lowland area and some parts of them are still intended as logging concession (Murdjoko 2013; Kuswandi 2014; Kuswandi & Murdjoko 2015)
Association between pometia and tree species in unlogged and logged forest The tree species in both unlogged and logged forests showed a pattern of species association
159 tree species were categorized as small individuals and 127 tree species were classified as large individuals (Appendix 1)
Summary
Forest of south Papua is characterized as lowland area and some parts of them are still intended as logging concession (Murdjoko 2013; Kuswandi 2014; Kuswandi & Murdjoko 2015). Ecological conditions change in term of understory species composition, tree structures, soil conditions, and microclimatic circumstances (Arbainsyah et al 2014). In this area, tree regeneration is natural since there is no plantation program in this logged forest because the plantation is only done in ex-skid trail and ex-log yard. & G.Forst.(Kuswandi et al 2015; Murdjoko et al 2016) Both species are less studied concerning population and distribution. The population dynamics of Pometia in forests is generally as an impact of abiotic and biotic factors where the logging leads to alteration of conditions. The microclimate is mainly as a result of the condition of tropical rainforest such as moisture understory (Cicuzza et al 2013; Sawada et al 2015)
