ABSTRACT

Forest management systems of indigenous people have undergone many changes due to a variety of interests which is a form of adaptation. Various impacts of change can undermine custom values and rules. The purpose of this research is to facilitate the strengthening of custom system in forest resource management. This research used descriptive qualitative method with PAR (Participatory Action Research) approach. PAR is conducted by constructing meaning constructs together between researchers based on the concepts of experts and concepts of indigenous peoples on sustainable forest management and its issues. The results showed changes in the indigenous system implementation techniques, but basic values are preserved. These basic values serve as guidelines for action to achieve sustainable forest management and utilization.
