Abstract This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the improvement of private forest management in Poland. It examines characteristics of various types of forestry companies encompassing either completely private forests or a mixture of private and state-owned forests. Different possibilities for operating private and state-owned forestry companies were examined. The assessment of forestry companies was carried out for three categories based on forest inventory data and economic information. Each of the categories contained three different types of forestry companies classified as follows: I – companies managing private forests only, II – companies managing both private and state-owned forests (e.g. those managed by a state-run forest district), II – the same as in II but assuming minimal costs. The different types of forestry companies were then subjected to a more detailed analysis with respect to the following factors: A – only their own administrative costs, B – administrative costs and overheads assumed to be the same as in the State Forests, C – overheads assumed to be the same as in the State Forests but administrative costs are calculated as in A. For each of the scenarios, income, costs and revenues were calculated. The different types of forestry companies established above also allowed for an assessment of the used data and their collection. In conclusion, incomes of the forestry companies were generally low due to forest stands being managed by companies. Only in scenario A, which assumes very low management costs, did each of the company types gain revenues. This means that the main direction for the development of forestry companies should be to maintain low management costs.

The private forest is one of the alternative solutions to the pressure of forest resources. The benefits to be gained from private forests management includes fulfill the needs of wood, increase public revenues, and increase the productivity of land.  The benefit has received by the public depends on the management carried out by private forest owners. The purposes of this study were to determine the social and economic characteristics of people who participate in managing private forests, and to determine the level of private forest management covers all aspects of planning, organizing, actuating, evaluation and monitoring. The research was conducted on August till September 2014 in Bandar Dalam village Sidomulyo District of South Lampung. The numbers of samples were 38 respondents by simple random sampling method. Data analysis methods used qualitative descriptive analysis. The results,were it can be concluded that: (1) the social and economic characteristics of the people who manage private forests mostly included in the productive age work and have a second job, amount of family burden is only a bit, and private forests land that they manage quite extensive so that their income quite high, although most low level of education; and (2) private forest management consisted of the planning aspect in medium category, organizational aspect in medium category, planting implementation aspect in both category, implementation of maintenance aspect in medium category, harvesting implementation aspect in both category, marketing implementation aspect in poor category, and monitoring-evaluation aspect are in medium category. Overall level of private forest management is medium category. Key words: Private forest, forest management, private forest owners

Abstract One of the success indicator of private forest farming is an increase in farmers’ income, which is indicated by the large contribution of income from private forests. The size of the income is influenced by several factors, including the pattern of private forest management which will determine the quality products of private forests. However, currently, most of the private forest farmers have not placed the aspect of land management as the main factor determining the success of farming in private forests. This research is conducted to determine the role of land management on the income of private forest farmers in Central Lombok Regency. The research was conducted in three private forests in Central Lombok Regency, namely Pemepek, Setiling, and Sepakek Villages. The method used is interviews using questionnaire to 45 respondents who are selected purposively. The object of observation is land management which include plant maintenance, and harvesting; and farmers’ income from private forest and non-private forest. The data analysis was carried out in a descriptive qualitative manner. The results showed that in general, land management carried out by private forest farmers had not been able to increase income from private forests. However, farmers who carry out crop maintenance in the form replanting are able to produce a higher income than when farmers applied other land management activity. The combination of land management activity will improve their income. The more intensive land management, the higher the income will be obtained.

Wood is one of the natural resources needed by humans. The high growth rate of the human population causes an increase in demand for wood.  Currently, one of the largest timber producers in West Java is private forests. Fulfillment of high demand for wood should be balanced with good management, so that is not to threat private forest sustainability. One of the areas with the private forest that is still actively undertaking private forest management activities is in Rancakalong District, Sumedang Regency. This study aims to identify the current management practice of private forests and to formulate sustainable development strategies. The data was collected through questionnaires and interviews, field observation, and secondary data collection. The respondent number of private forest farmers was 98 respondents. Snowball sampling techniques were used to interview government officials, middlemen or wood dealers. The analysis results at the input have an internal total score of 2,7, which shows the condition is at the medium stage and external total score of 3,17, which shows the public response to threats and opportunities are strong enough. At the matching stage, the result is that the management of private forest is the second quadrant, which means that the private forest is entering the growth stage. The study result shows that the first priority to be implemented in the Rancakalong private forest is to establish farmer organizations.Keywords: private forest, management, strategic, Rancakalong

Abstract Forest policy and forest ownership patterns in Slovenia and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) have changed considerably in recent decades due to unprecedented scale of social, political and economic change. The distribution of ownership types varies between the countries – in Slovenia private forest ownership predominates (77%), while in FBiH only about 20% of forest is private-owned. In both countries, private forest properties are small-scale and fragmented, which affects management opportunities and the scale at which policy interventions need to be made. This paper analyses the Slovenian and Central Bosnia Cantonal Law on Forests to assess how the regulatory framework affects private forest owners’ (PFOs) rights, forest management and accelerates cooperation of PFOs. Both laws impose exclusive rights and responsibilities of PFOs, as well as limitation on how they can use their forests. In both countries, legislation contains detailed regulations for forest management activities and stipulate that mandatory forest management plans (FMPs) are an important tool that supports the implementation of sustainable forest management. In Slovenia, FMPs are prepared as common plans for all forests regardless the ownership, while in FBiH the Cantonal Law prescribes a separate forest management planning system for private forests. To improve the efficiency of private forest management, both laws support voluntary cooperation of PFOs. From the analysis, it can be concluded that there is a need for better harmonisation of public and private interests in relation to forest resources, especially in the case of FBiH, and that the deregulation of property right is needed as well as that the level of involvement of PFOs in the forest policy making process is unsatisfactory, in most cases only formal.

Frequent natural disasters in recent years have been a major challenge in private forest management and have led to increased activity among all stakeholders along the forest-wood chain. In this paper, we reviewed the literature on salvage logging in private forests damaged by natural disasters, with the aim of identifying the barriers that private forest owners face in salvaging and solutions for faster and more efficient salvaging. After reviewing the relevant literature, we included 59 articles and 25 reports in the final analysis. The results showed that researchers have not yet systematically addressed the identification of barriers. We identified 51 barriers, which we classified into 7 groups, and 68 solutions, which we classified into 11 groups. Most researchers have dealt with barriers from the 'Characteristics of private forest owners' group and solutions from the 'Stakeholder Cooperation' group. Finally, we associated the identified barriers with appropriate salvaging solutions and found that all identified solutions represent a solution for at least one of the barriers and that each barrier has at least one solution. The research represents the first, but important, step in identifying the decision-making factors for salvaging in private forests damaged by natural disasters.

The management of private forests carried out by farmers, in general, is still very simple. Land tenure is usually relatively narrow and diffuse, family-based management with limited knowledge and multi cropping in one field. Nevertheless, the benefits can already be felt by farmers both economically, ecologically, and socially. Private forests can increase land cover in the form of trees and various other types of plants. The characteristics of private forests that are generally encountered on Java are also found in the Cluwak sub-district, Pati regency. This paper will review and identify various challenges in private forest management in the Cluwak sub-district, Pati regency. Thus economically, ecologically, and socially sustainable private forest management becomes a challenge that is not impossible to realize. Data analysed descriptively from field observations, various reports, and similar research findings. Several studies have found that there are factors that influence the management of private forests such as internal factors (natural resources, human resources, farmers' group institutional, social) and external factors (markets, government assistance, and culture technique).

Abstract The published research on nonindustrial private forests (NIPFs) and their owners is substantial. Early works have focused on the role these lands may play in meeting predicted timber shortages. Later research on the NIPF situation appeared more motivated by private forest management than timber management, and more interested in the NIPF owner as a person than as a timber supplier. Correspondingly, much of the research on forestry assistance programs has been critical of their traditional timber-only approach. Many researchers have agreed that the success of such efforts hinges on their ability to address the diverse forestry objectives of private landowners rather than focusing narrowly on the advancement of timber management.

The history of the forests in canton Geneva, having led to these being disconnected from productive functions, provides a symptomatic demonstration that the services provided by the forest eco-system are common goods. Having no hope of financial returns in the near future and faced with increasing social demands, the state has invested in the purchase of forest land, financed projects for forest regeneration and improvement of biological diversity and developed infrastructures for visitors. In doing this the state as a public body takes on the provision of services in the public interest. But the further funding for this and for expenses for the private forests, which must be taken into account, are not secured for the future.

This study aims to determine and compare the profitability of different types of broiler chicken farms (open and cloused houses) in Subang Regency. This study involved 9 farmers consisting of 5 farmers with closed house and 4 farmers with open house who partnered with PT. Surya Unggas Mandiri (PT. SUM). Production costs taken are 2 production periods from May-August 2018. Data are analyzed using economic analysis and descriptive methods. The results showed that the production cost per period per 1000 birds closed house was higher (Rp. 27.656.768,-) compared to open house (Rp. 24.975.671,-). The revenue per period per 1000 birds of closed house is higher (Rp. 30.606.931,-) compared to open house (Rp. 25.788.618,-). The profit of farmers who use closed house is higher (Rp. 2.621/period/bird) than open house (Rp.417,-). The profitability in close house s is 9.48% and is very feasible to develop
