In spite of their expectations for long time, however, remote sensing has not been well implemented in the operational monitoring at this level. The lack of mutual understanding between the managers and the experts has been recognized for decades. We studied the experiences and expectations on remote sensing from the forest managers in Indonesia, consisting of forest/park managers and remote sensing researchers from national parks, logging companies, non-governmental organizations, universities, etc. Despite their experiences on remote sensing varied from nothing up to running expert facilities, all of them expected more effective utilization of the technology for their management practices. Majority of the participants identified that cost reduction, capacity building and information sharing were the most important issues for the dissemination. Remote sensing experts should cooperate with the managers, who will to utilize the technology by themselves, by providing appropriate technologies and helping their capacities building.

Twenty four permanents sample plots (PSPs), of one ha each have been randomly set up for a long term monitoring. All trees (dbh 20 cm ...

Logging in the tropics, as conventionally practised, depletes timber stocks and ...

Inhutani II Sub Unit Malinau, has managed the lowland dipterocarps forest in Malinau District, East Kalimantan for over 10 years. They established permanent sample plots (PSP) for measuring the growth and the yield in their area. However, current regulations do not give the company a sufficient space to use the PSP data for managing the area, nor a systematic way to involve the communities in the management of the forest. This research was aimed to seek scenarios of sustainable secondary forest management. The scenarios were developed through simulation of social and biophysical components in the area using Multi-Agent System (MAS). MAS is a branch of artificial intelligent for creating artificial society used for social simulation. This paper presents scenarios' development process and scenarios of collaborative management of the forest. The results reveal that Multi-Agent System (MAS) is a powerful tool in simulating and in developing scenarios of sustainable dipterocarps forest management. the sustainability was measured by indicators of forest cover and standing stock, carbon stock, communities incomes, the company revenue and taxes paid to the local and center governments. It was also found that collaboration between PT. Inhutani II and the communitie appeared to be the most suitable alternative for sustainable secondary dipterocarps forest management.

The importance of community participation is acknowledged in theIndonesian Act No. 41 on Forestry (1999). However, it is not clear how to achieve this in areas already allocated to a concession holder. Current regulations offer little flexibility for concessionaires to develop site-specific management, or to involve local communities in forest management. The research reported here examines ...
