Inventarisasi Hutan Menyeluruh Berkala dalam Pengelolaan Hutan Produksi di Indonesia (Studi Kasus di Provinsi Papua)

Abstract

The availability of data and information of forest resources plays an important role to determine the direction and clear targets in forest management at forest management unit (FMU) level. In order to preserve sustainable forest management at the sites level, management plans should be set with consideration of the entire ecosystem landscape while maintaining biological diversity and productivity as well as regeneration ability in sustaining life and potential to fulfill functions of the ecological, economic and social for current time and the future. The periodic comprehensive forest inventory (Inventarisasi Hutan Menyeluruh Berkala called IHMB) is Indonesian forest stands inventory were based on compartment at forest effective area of forest management unit (FMU). The purpose of this study is to get information about the suitability and accuracy of the IHMB implementation results to arranging long-term forest management plans (rencana kerja usaha pemanfaatan hasil hutan kayu pada hutan alam called RKUPHHK-HA) in order to forest management that aims to produce sustainable timber. Data gathered with purposive sampling technique with location consideration is the FMU that have been implemented of IHMB and the results has been evaluated and verified by the Ministry of Forestry and Forestry Provincial Office. Sampling plot of IHMB is carried out with consideration: forest cover stratification, accessibility, time and cost. The results of IHMB implementation that contain the availability potentially standing stock and other general information can not be uses as a basis to preparing a forest management plan with the aims of generating sustainable timber with the sustainability forest principles. At the FMU level, the long-term forest management (RKUPHHK-HA) which contains goals and objective of the activity that based on comprehensive data and information covering the aspect of ecological, economic and social. The sense of word “comprehensive” on IHMB is meaningfully only covered the forest area, without including all components of the data and information on forest ecosystem. The data result of IHMB implementation is uses as a basis to arranging RKUPHHK-HA, meanwhile in the short-term forest management (rencana kerja tahunan usaha pemanfaatan hasil hutan kayu pada hutan alam called RKTUPHHK-HA) is implemented by the stage of silvicultural system (tebang pilih tanam Indonesia called TPTI).
