Descripción
Participatory land-use planning (PLUP) refers to a bottom-up method of mapping and analysing natural resources and risks as well as cultural conditions. For a long time, Indonesia has neglected the elaboration of land use plans. Now, as the population figures and thus the demand for land are constantly increasing, the awareness of the need of land use planning is growing. Forest Program III (FP III) Sulawesi, a G-2-G project between the Indonesian and the German government (KfW) is implemented in the landscape of the Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve (LLBR). The project supports the elaboration of PLUPs 47 villages of which 40 villages border to Lore Lindu NP (core zone of LLBR). The PLUPs are elaborated under the authority of social forestry and environmental partnership (BPSKL). Important for the villages is the determination of village boarders as well as areas at high risk for natural disasters (flooding, landslide, earthquake etc.). BPSKL intends to develop participatory land use plans to mitigate negative effects of uncoordinated land use and to enhance the efficient use of resources with minimal impact on future generations. In the context of FP III, the PLUPs serve as planning criteria for other project activities beside others agroforestry, eco-tourism, construction of infrastructure, support to women groups. The reaction of the villagers is euphoric. For many this is the first time that they participate in the development planning of their village. Before, this was the responsibility of the village government and hence, carried out in a top-down approach. Now, the villagers have the chance to visualize, to discuss, to analyse the current and the future situation of their village. The village governments appreciate this highly dynamic process. Not only do they support the process wherever they can, but they also integrate the PLUP into their community regulations (PerDes). Thus, the PLUPs are an integral part of the community planning.
