ekonomi-politik hutan kemasyarakatan (kajian pengelolaan hutan berbasis hak-hak produktif masyarakat sekitar)

The main problem in managing forest, particulary in Java, is that local communities living in and/or around forest are less involved. Meanwhile, it is clear that local communities depend heavily on forest resources. So, when forest are not acceseble for them, their continuity of life is thretened. Managing forest resources together with community (PHBM) is a new pattern for forest management in Java. The principle of this pattern is collectivenness between local communities and Perum Perhutani with others sides that have interest using the spirit of sharing (right and obligation). The realtion formed in such pattern is based on modern way of working in which work division and funcional specification are implemented. Labour is distributed into work division that are funcionally. The problem occurs because positions in modern way of working that is implemented in PHBM are determinate by the contibution of production factors. The are 4 production factors in PHBM i.e capital, land/location, technology, and labour. These influence significanly on relation of production. Capital is accounted as the most important factor in all production processes. The bigger capital contributed by a person, the higher position of the person in PHBM. Economic-politicall approuch tries to see political tendency in PHBM from economical point of view. Discourse that is launched by PHBM is welfare for local communities through participation of the communities in managing forest. At glance, the principe of sharing indicated that the potency of welfare for coomunities can be realized, but if the proportion shared for communities is too low, 25 % of the value and proportion of production factors, the welfare wwill be more difficult to be reached. From PHBM point of view, the possible production factors that can be given by communities is only “labour”. In the process of production, labour’s proportion and value is only 20 %. Thus, the relation of production has less ability to give justice for communities.
