| Title | Conditional Land Tenure : A Pathway to Healthy Landscapes and Enhance Livelihoods | | Author | RUPES | | Year | 2009 | | Publisher | World Agroforestry Centre - ICRAF, SEA Regional Office | | City | Bogor, Indonesia | | Call Number | PO0219-09 | | Notes | Case Study : Sumberjaya, Lampung Province, Indonesia |
|
| Abstract: |
| Sumberjaya located along the west coast of Sumatra and forms the upper watersheds
of all major rivers on the island. The subdistrict of 55.000 ha almost coincides with the
Way Besai upper watershed. The population was about 87.350 people in 2004, resulting in a population density of about 161 persons/km2. About 40 % of the sub district is classified as “protection forest” and about 10 % as National Park. Nevertheless about 70 % of the area is now covered by coffee gardens. Sumberjaya is a benchmark for conflicts of forest watershed functions in Indonesia, and has witnessed one of the most intensive ‘eviction’ episodes, increasing poverty of squatter families. Current research suggests that these evictions (‘punishing upland people and their environmental services’ = PUPES) have been based on an incomplete understanding of the underlying issues. Getting the watershed functions right in Sumberjaya can not only solve a local problem, but also have substantial exemplary value. |
