Hasriadi Masalam, “The Green Dispossession of Serampas Communities in Kerinci Seblat National Park, Indonesia”, presented at The Canadian Association for the Study of International Development (CASID) Annual Conference, Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, May 28-30, 2014.
Abstract
THIS PAPER investigates the process of development displacement/dispossesion of forestZbased communities in Serampas highland located in Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP), Indonesia, by examining the impact of government policies concerning the conservation and management of natural resources in the rural hinterlands. Qualitative case study research with affected communities included inZdepth interviews, focus group discussion and a household survey of 30% of the population in two villages. The paper examines and contends that forestZbased communities are being gradually displaced/dispossessed by three sets of related policy and programatic initiatives which include: conservation (e.g. restricted access to parks which are ancestral lands), privatization (e.g. export oriented, importZdependent agricultural initiatives) and national development imperatives (e.g. national economic growth imperatives and the compulsory modernization of forest/rural social groups).[]
