Abstract

Watersheds in several places in Indonesia carry a very heavy burden due to their very high population density and intensive use of natural resources so that there are recent indications that watershed conditions are declining with indications of increased incidence of landslides, erosion and sedimentation, flooding and drought. One of the government’s programs is the development of peatlands which in 1995 were implemented by the Peatland Project (PLG) in Central Kalimantan, eventually transforming one million hectares of agricultural land that was lowland and peat swamps into areas that experienced deforestation and serious degradation due to drainage and burning. Whereas the community in the ex-PLG area should be aware of and have a voice and role in planning their environment and developing their surrounding areas. Input from the local community is very important to measure the effectiveness of the handling and will influence the continuous improvement of plans and actions going forward, community rights must be recognized and respected. This paper emphasizes the importance of community involvement in the management of the Kahayan river area, which is an important reason because in the management involved many elements are involved, namely the government, the community and certain local organizations related to the local culture and environment. This reason is also motivated by the management of the river basin is a shared responsibility between public organizations and local communities around the river. (Sihombing, 2018) this translation is more framed in the practice of group model policies namely ethnic communities divided into riverine power, in the context of river basin management.
