Abstract

Implementation problem of government is policy forest management in Lumajang Regency. Management policy forest conflict is indicative of the many shortcomings that must be corrected. Lumajang Regency, which has self-proclaimed as part of the rule of law and upholds democracy, must act on problems that have dragged on and still occur in various regions. Today’s challenge is the preparation of new rules to prevent forest conflict. The need for community empowerment is to take integrated participation by considering sociocultural and macroeconomic values.The research is qualitative research using primary data sources and secondary data. The research locations in several areas of Lumajang regency which included several forest areas were determined purposively. Primary and secondary data are collected through interactive and non-interactive methods. The data obtained were analyzed using interactive analysis and in-depth analysis.Problems faced by community in territorial area of the forest area in Lumajang Regency are varied, namely the conflict between the community and the Perhutani (Indonesian state forest company). Community conflicts with Perhutani are the interests of forest people who live with forests managed by BUMN, including the shifting of stake, destruction of cultivation crops, and profit sharing interests in empowering forest communities with Perhutani (Indonesian state forest company).
