The generic knowledge of social criteria for SFM Category Text Principle 3 Forest is managed in the multi-stakeholder environment Criterion 3.1 Rights of stakeholders are established fairly and acknowledged Criterion 3.2 Fair benefit distribution among the stakeholders Criterion 3.3 All relevant stakeholders have a learning capacity in relation to the complexity of forest ecosystem management

4.1.2.5. The Complete CI Set

The complete scientific knowledge of SFM as described previously, and its indicators are shown in Table 4.4. Each criterion followed by indicators was to be used as a quantitative or qualitative attribute of that criterion. As previously mentioned there are three types of criteria and indicators i.e. input, process and outcome. The table also shows the type of each item. Table 4.4. The generic knowledge of SFM Level Text Type Principle 1 Ecosystem integrity is maintained Criterion 1.1 Biodiversity is maintained Outcome Landscape pattern is maintained Outcome The species richness is maintained Outcome Population sizes do not show significant change Outcome Indicators Rare or endangered species are protected Outcome Criterion 1.2 Maintenance of ecologically sensitive areas Outcome Buffer zones along water sources are protected Outcome Representative areas, especially sites of ecological importance, are protected and properly managed Outcome Indicators Forest on steep slope areas is maintained Outcome Criterion 1.3 Ecosystem function is maintained Outcome Water quality and flow are maintained Outcome Indicators Soil quality is maintained Outcome No chemical contamination to food chains and ecosystem Outcome Principle 2 Forest products and services are sustained Criterion 2.1 Forest has a normal series of diameter size-gradation, a normal volume and a normal increment. Outcome Normal series of diameter size-gradation of trees Outcome Normal timber stock for each diameter size Outcome Indicators Normal volume increment Outcome Criterion 2.2 Normality in non-timber forest products and services Outcome Normal NTFP stock Outcome Indicators Normal NTFP growth Outcome Principle 3 Forest is managed in multi-stakeholder environments Criterion 3.1 Rights of all stakeholders are established fairly and acknowledged Process The existence of effective mechanisms for two-way communication among stakeholders Process The existence of agreement on rights and responsibilities of relevant stakeholders Process Fair access to forest resources Process Indicators The relationship between forest maintenance and human culture is acknowledged Process Criterion 3.2 Fair benefit distribution among stakeholders Outcome The health of forest actors are acceptable to all stakeholders Outcome Livelihood choices do not decrease significantly Outcome Forest product revenues are shared proportionally Outcome Criterion 3.3 Stakeholders have a learning capacity related to the complexity of forest ecosystem management Process Existence of collaborative monitoring on forest conditions Process Existence of collaborative reflection for improving forest management system Process Indicators Space for innovation on forest management Process
