ArticlePossibility of local wood from a global perspective the environmental performance on wooden main stadium of Tokyo 2020

No results found.Timber is a renewable and sustainable material which potentially plays a leading role in the development of a sustainable society. This is the rationale behind Japan passing the Act for Promotion of Use of Wood in Buildings, etc. to Contribute to the Realization of a Decarbonized Society in 2021. To promote timber utilization, the forestry and timber business sectors should cooperate with green consumers. However, there are several challenges to address before such a cooperation can be achieved: illegal logging, vulnerable forest management, and related trade. FSC and PEFC have made substantial contributions by developing forest management schemes with supply chain certification. However, voluntary certification schemes have a cost bottleneck to become mainstream in the global timber supply chain. The Woodmiles Forum, a Japanese private organization, argued that locality is an important factor in eliminating environmental risks. Firstly, it reduces the environmental impact of CO2 emissions from the transportation process, which accounts for half the carbon footprint. Secondly, it reduces the cost of transporting long-distance environmental information, such as forest and legality certification. Taking advantage of this accumulation, the Forum evaluated the new national stadium, which was the main venue for Tokyo 2020. The stadium is built of regional local timber from all over Japan. We compared the results of this evaluation with the evaluation of the facilities in London 2012. The environmental significance of regional timber is that the transparency of the supply chain can be easily ensured. Additionally, the environmental load of the timber transportation process is small, and this is the focus of this study.

ArticleConditions for successful local collective action in mangrove forest management: Some evidence from the Eastern coastal area of south Sulawesi, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Resource management characterized by Common Pool Resources (CPRs) requires collective action for its sustainable management. CPRs with “rivalry” and “non-excludable” features face overexploitation problems because unlike the nature of pure public goods, the use of CPRs by one user will reduce the chances of other users taking advantage of it. This study aims to analyze the most appropriate local institutions and tenure arrangements for sustainable mangrove management in Eastern coast area of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data and information were collected through in-depth interviews involving key informants selected by using snow- ball method and continued by Focus Group Discussion. Design principles for sustainable management of common pool resources from Ostrom has been used in this study as an analytical framework which illustrate the structure of rules established and imposed by the local CPR’s institutions. The findings show that collective action in sustainable mangrove management can be achieved through accepted rules and agreements that are participatory formulated. The agreed norms and rules have enacted as a benchmark for collective action in maintaining mangrove and to enforce sanctions for violators. The success of the community in sustainable mangrove resources management is mainly supported by the existence of several prerequisites that facilitate collective action. It is necessary to strengthen regulations both at the local and higher level through socialization to the community along with the development of incentive and disincentives system.

ArticleAdoption of community-based monitoring to peatland restoration: Lesson from participatory action research in Riau, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Restoration of degraded peatland ecosystems is fundamental to achieve sustainable development principally through those on climate change interventions, poverty eradication, food security, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation. Effective monitoring highly considers as an important stage for a successful restoration project allowing measurement of progress and identify corrective action or modification. Despite there are well-established peatland monitoring networks in Indonesia, the coverage area is still limited and not able to show restoration impact at a local scale. In this study, we demonstrate the value of community-based observations for monitoring peatland conditions under restoration activities as an alternative to broaden the coverage area. Learning from requirements, problems, limitations, and emerging new technology, we develop a Community Based Peatland Restoration Monitoring System (CO-PROMISE) to combine participatory measurement, science, and technology. The system offering an approach that adopting a method of technology that capable to works offline, compatible with cheap smartphones, affordable development cost, safe storage at cloud systems, transparent to monitor its result and local involvement. Community- based monitoring system implemented within a 13-ha community-based peatland restoration area in Bengkalis, Riau, Indonesia. An online dashboard was created to show groundwater level and soil moisture data as the impact of rewetting activities. Monitoring data helps develop insights into restoration activities progress and its impact within the study area. Despite there are challenges in encouraging the local community to keep monitoring activities after the project ended, community- based monitoring has been successfully collected temporal data of groundwater level, soil moisture, peat subsidence, and stored in a cloud database and published in the online dashboard. Moreover, a community-based monitoring system can be an alternative monitoring process during COVID pandemic situations, where travel can be limited for other stakeholders.
