RECONSTRUCTION OF CENTRAL AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENT RELATIONS IN THE EQUITABLE MANAGEMENT OF FOREST RESOURCES
This study is a normative legal research aimed at analyzing and discovering the formulation and model of the central and regional government relations in the equitable management of forest resources using a Philosophical Approach, a Statute Approach, and a Conceptual Approach. The research finds that the formulation and model of central and regional authority in forestry management refer to: a) the principle of subsidiarity, which emphasizes that decisions should be made by the government closest to the affected community; b) the formulation of distributive justice, which underscores the importance of fair distribution of resources; c) the principle of procedural justice, which highlights the importance of participation, transparency, and accountability in decision-making; and d) functional decentralization, which grants greater authority to regional governments in managing forests according to local conditions and the needs of local communities, while maintaining effective coordination with the central government to ensure alignment with national policies. However, functional decentralization also presents challenges, such as ensuring the capacity of regional governments to manage forests effectively and efficiently.
