Sertifikasi PHBML: Persepsi Masyarakat dan Dampak Sertifikasi pada Pengusahaan Hutan Skala Lokal (Studi Kasus di Kelurahan Selopuro dan Desa Sumberejo, Kecamatan Batuwarno, Kabupaten Wonogiri, Propinsi Jawa Tengah)
Abstract: In 2002, Indonesian
Ecolabel Institution (LEI) established the so-called Sustainable Community
Based Forest Management Certification system (PHBML). In 2004, with a PHBML
certificate award, the community forest management units in Selopuro and
Sumberejo villages, Batuwarno sub district, Wonogiri Regency, Central Java were
anknowledged as the best institution in sustainable yield function, social
function, and ecological function aspects. This research was aimed to find out
the community's kind of perception, as well as that of KPS (Certification
Farmer Community) officials and members in particular, to PHBML certification
implementation. Also, the study was intended to discover the impact of PHBML
certification upon the local scale forest management.
The research findings indicated that the community's level of
understanding to PHBML certification was poor when compared with that of KPS
officials. This condition due to the official failure to share the knowledge
they had receivedfrom NGO with the KPS members. With PHBML certification, the
institutional management by forest farmers had been proven improved however,
there have not been yet any significant improvement to farmer income, and to
forest product marketing. In addition to this, what was meant by significance,
did not fully answer the farmer expectation of better sustainable forest
principle realization.
