2METHODOLOGY2.1 The Multi-StakeholderPolicy Action ResearchApproach and ActivitiesWe used a policy action research approach,whereby all concerned stakeholders were givenan opportunity to take part in the study throughinformation sharing, public consultation,public meetings and focus group discussions(FGDs). Given the varied interests in forestpolicy impacts, our project was conducted incooperation with the provincial and districtgovernments as well as the local legislaturein the District of Tanjung Jabung Barat(Tanjabbar), the universities, the press andlocal non-governmental organizations (NGOs),who provided inputs and information (mostlysecondary data) for this study.At the village level we were helped by theclose cooperation of village heads and theirstaff, community leaders, the head and membersof the Village Representative Bodies (BPD), aswell as local community members. In particular,local villagers provided information and viewsabout the implementation and impacts of thenew forestry regulations governing the smallconcessions in their areas.2.2 Framework of ResearchActivitiesThe study was guided by two clear linesof enquiry. These are illustrated in Figure1. The first took the form of a legal reviewof policy-making processes in TanjabbarDistrict, and the second involved a rigorousstudy of the mechanisms and opportunities forcitizens’ involvement in the creation of districtregulations.2.3 Problem AnalysisThe conclusions and recommendationspresented at the end of this report are based onlegal, process and impact analyses of forestrysector policies in Tanjabbar District.
