Judul: Desain kebijakan pengelolaan terpadu dan berkelanjutan pada Danau Limboto Provinsi Gorontalo
Abstrak: This study was aimed to analyze (i) the existing condition of water at Limboto Lake and its water catchment area, (ii) the index and sustainability status of the multi-dimensional management of Limboto Lake, and (iii) formulate a designed policy of integrated and sustainable management of Limboto Lake. The research combined the method of survey system and an approach of system method. Data analysis was based on field observations, expert respondents and literary studies. For the first (i) objective, a descriptive analysis was used to compare the water quality resulting from measurement with the standard quality. Changes in land use were analyzed by using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and comparatively described for the years of 2000, 2003, 2006, and 2009. For the second (ii) objective, the analysis used MDS and the third (iii) combined the analyses of legal review, stakeholders, and dynamic system models. The design was made by synthesizing the results of several analyzes that are presented in a flow chart. The results of the analyses indicate that the lake water can still support fish life, but it is not suitable for the basic need for drinking water. The management of Limboto Lake is not of sustainable status, with the index of 38.68. There are 20 stakeholders related to the integrated management of Limboto Lake, involving players, subjects and contest setter. The optimistic scenario indicates that the life time of the lake is until 2040. This study recommends the institutional formation of BKPEDL to ensure an integrated planning so that the development of Limboto Lake can be sustained.

Judul: Model kelembagaan pengelolaan hutan lindung: kasus pengelolaan hutan lindung gunung damar di Propinsi Gorontalo
Abstrak: The main objective of this research is to formulate a model of institutional management of Gunung Damar Protected Forest (GDPF). This would be achieved by: 1) Measuring the performance of GDPF management; 2) Analyzing the ecological and social economics situation in GDPF; 3) Analyzing the formal regulations on protected forest management; 4). Assessing the stakeholder’s behavior in management and use of GDPF in the District of Gorontalo and the District of Bone Bolango. Some research methods employed include analysis of forest land cover change, quantitative description, content analysis, and stakeholder analysis. The study reveals that: 1) The land coverage of GDPF area in Gorontalo District has been reduced by 3361.21 ha or 46.98%, while in the Bone Bolango District by 2281.28 ha or 27.36%, meaning that the remaining forest cover of GDPF Gorontalo District is only about 33.93% Bone Bolango District is 67.76%; 2) The socio-economic and ecological situation in GDPF is a characteristic that causes a source of interdependence among individual, groups of people or organizations. The presence of settlements in the region GDPF accompanied by a sense of ownership of agricultural lands in the region GDPF Gorontalo District, the lack of information about the length of boundaries of GDPF, the weakness of law enforcement, the distances between residence and forest area have been the reasons for high exclusion costs, high transaction costs, joint impact goods, incompatibility, and surplus mainly in Gorontalo District; 3) there is no mechanism to devise sanctions and incentives in the process of assignment and establishment, forest area as well as of and management of the protected areas that could encourage the local governments to formulate programs to optimize the management and utilization of protected forests; 4) There are 18 stakeholders in Gorontalo District and 14 stakeholders in Bone Bolango District that have interest in the management of GDPF. There is mismatch between those organizations’ main tasks and the GDPF management activities, especially in the Gorontalo District. The research concludes: 1) the performance of GDPF management is better in Bone Bolango District than in Gorontalo District; 2) The socioeconomic and ecological situations in GDPF has created interdependence where the inherent characteristics associated with these situations are high exclusion costs, high transaction costs, joint impact of surplus goods and incompatibility that occurs especially in Gorontalo District. 3) There has not yet been any mechanism to devise sanctions and incentives that could encourage the local government to formulate programs to optimize the management and utilization of protected areas; 4) the government regulations are inadequate to control stakeholder behavior in the GDPF 5) Model of institution GDPF management can be formulate as follows; a) property rights: to strengthening tenure GDPF as state property, provide special rights to community that has been long settle in GDPF such as acces, withdrawal, management and exclusion, b) jurisdiction boundary; to complete boundary area in GDPF c) rule of representation; socialization function and benefit GDPF to all stakeholder
