4. Strengthened worker rights through a clear career and social security system that is based on expertise, innovation, creativity and performance. This will lead to a strong
work ethic and competitiveness in all areas of forest management.
c. Forest sector regulatory reform. This will be achieved through several steps, including:
1. Reform of regulations related to forest management will be carried out based on clear stakeholder rights and roles, and on principles of equitable benefit distribution.
The reform process will be transparent and participative and will accommodate the interests of various stakeholders in the context of sustainable forest management and
social welfare improvement.
2. Rights, roles and responsibility will be re-allocated, along with forest resource benefits, based on the land use classifications of areas. Regulations will be aimed at
developing sectoral and regional performance standards, criteria and indicators and an integrated Forest Area in the context of sustainable forest management and social
welfare improvement.
3. Transparent operating procedures and coordination systems between government levels, sectors, and countries will be adopted. These will create a system of
incentives to support sustainable forest management.
IV.3 Achieving increased value and sustainable productivity of forest resources
The value, sustainable productivity, and national development contribution of forest resources will be increased by:
a. Maintaining the existence of a forest and Forest Area which is sufficiently large and proportionally distributed.
b. Ensuring optimal watershed DAS management to maintain the quality and hydrological functions of forest ecosystems.
c. Conserving forest resources as a life support system. d. Optimizing the potential of forest resources for production of timber and non-timber
products.
a. Maintaining the existence of a forest and Forest Area which is sufficiently large and proportionally distributed.
This will be achieved through several steps, including: 1. Firming the status and functions of the Forest Area by harmonizing spatial
delineations, carrying out a gazettement of the Forest Area, and increasing the amount of forest management units. Harmonization of land use zones is a very
important and strategic phase since forests and the Forest Area are important to various parties including non-forestry sectors and various government levels.
Therefore agreements between stakeholders in establishing forest-related land use regulations will be necessary to guarantee the fixed status of forest areas. A gazetted

forest area will strengthen the legal basis of the Forest Area. The increase in the number of forest management units in the Forest Area will guarantee stable forest
management and prevent irresponsible clearing of forest Figure 31.
2. Forest degradation will be decreased through: the continuation of forest rehabilitation activities Rehabilitasi Hutan dan LahanRHL by communities; increasing the area
of plantation forests in degraded forest areas; and improving the forest management system Figure 32.
3. Deforestation will be reduced by increasing the legal awareness of communities and implementing laws clearly and consistently. This is in line with the national long
