A Systems Approach to Corporate Forest Development Planning in Indonesia
Dissertation Abstract:
This study argued that problems in forestry planning were rooted on a system that operated on the planning situation and therefore should be approached us ing systems paradigm.
An extensive exploration of the existing planning system was conducted using survey responses of 76 forest concessionaires and various policy packages as bases of investigation. The system characteristics were identified and an alternative design for forest development planning system was constructed.
It was concluded that the forest development planning system in Indonesia should be designed us ing a mixture of process and blueprint modes, a mode of disjoint-incremental moving toward rational comprehensive modes, and a dominance of normative mode of planning.
Validation of the proposed system was performed by experimentation. To accomplish this, an interactive computer algorithm possessing proposed design properties was constructed and the area of PT lnhutaniII, South Kalimantan, was chosen as the experimental unit. It was shown that the algorithm gain s superiority to the in-effect development plan in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and flexibility, without losing the attainability of the planning objectives.
