The management of production forests and protected forests </em>(<em>located at state forest areas</em>)<em> is the authority and responsibility of the provincial government, while the management of conservation forests is the authority of the central government.</em> <em>The success of forest management and management program activities is determined, among others, by government and local government policies and their implementation at the site level. By considering ntthe complexity of forest management, the context of decentralization, and available resources as well as constrained authority, this study aims to identify the level of importance, priorities, and main roles of district governments in forest management by applying the analytic network process </em>(<em>ANP</em>)<em> method. &nbsp;This study suggests</em> <em>that the district government could play a significant role in building social capital, which</em> <em>serves as a first step in developing</em><em> collaborative forest management</em><em> by promoting the optimization of multipurpose forests to preserve forests.</em></p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Jurnal Manajemen Hutan Tropika}, author={Pribadi, Ristianto and NurrochmatDodik Ridho and Suhendang, Endang and Siregar, Hermanto}, year={2020}, month={Aug.}, pages={114} }
