The druwe lands in question are lands controlled by traditional villages and scientific-technically called ulayat lands, customary lands. These lands in the traditional village awig-awig are called druwe desa which consist of laba pura land, field land, market land, setra land, bukit land, AYDS land, PKD land. Most of the druwe land in this village has been converted into full individual land through conversion according to the UUPA. One of the criteria for the existence of a traditional village can be measured by the sustainability of this druwe desa land as one of the village assets, both as material and immaterial assets. The conversion of druwe desa land often causes prolonged conflicts due to late awareness of the importance of preserving village druwe land. The potential of the druwe desa land when explored and adapted to the development of tourism in Bali can be a bonus for the village government and its krama desa (village residents) in achieving prosperity. To achieve this goal requires high awareness and commitment from krama desa, village government (custom and service), local government and government through policies in growing a culture of village manners in order to maintain the realization of the Tri Hitakarana philosophy in traditional villages which is used as an advantage for sustainable investment and as well as in strengthening the existence of traditional villages.

This thesis examines the rise of private protected areas in Chile and their relationship to the state's public protected areas network. Public and private approaches are conceptualized through the framework of nature-capital-state relations, which integrates insights from geographical political economy of nature and capitalist state theory. Though state monopoly of conservation planning has been undercut in recent decades by a variety of non-state actors designing their own interventions, conservation decision-making at the global level is still predominantly influenced by national governments and state-based agencies. Using public land conservation as a lens, I develop the concept of 'environmental statecraft' to explain how and why states manage their territorial environments to strategic effect. I draw on archival and historical evidence to argue that land protection in Chile is aimed at reproducing state interests as much as, if not more than, advancing biodiversity outcomes. Ultimately, I suggest that private protected areas emerged in response to the state's conservation logics and behavior. By framing public land conservation as a practice of environmental statecraft, this thesis calls attention to the need to theorize the state in relation to nature, and specifically to see nature as both constitutive and consequential of the state and state power.

The objective of the dissertation is to investigate the opportunity to apply taxation incentives to promote land conservation in South Africa. This dissertation was conducted by means of a critical analysis of current legislation and data available in search of a suggested solution to finding appropriate tax incentives to encourage land conservation. In order to limit the scope of the research, a number of assumptions were made. Conflicting viewpoints underlying certain of these assumptions are discussed.

In order to implement the food sustainability and sovereignt, the sustainable fishing development has to be carried out. The research problem is how to analyze to sustain land conservation after the implementation of the Law number 23 in 2014 Pasuruan Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The specific aims of this analysis is to identify the implementation of the sustainable land conservation after the implementation of the Law number 23 in 2014 about the regional government, to identify the obstacle in the implementation of the policy, to identify the stabilizer of the implementation of the policy, and to propose recommendation of the policy strategy to be carried out by the regional government of Pasuruan, This study employs qualitative descriptive approach. The respondent of this study comes from farmer's, in which Pasuruan regency is represented by respondents of SKPD (Satuan Kerja Perangkat Daerah or Regional Work Unit) from Regional Development Planning Agency (henceforth Bappeda). The research finding shows that Overall, the implementation of the lahan pangan berkelanjutan or the Sustainable Food Land (henceforth LPB) has complied with the Law number 1 2011 despite the planning and decision of LPB in RTRW (spatial planning), the obstacle in LPB is the absence of regional regulation, the model of strategic policy; the regencies synergistically coordinate with each other, encouraging the development of pond reserve as well as the role of private sector and society, and the synchronization of the state budget and the regional government budget, and all regional governments have to protect all LPB areas complying with the Law number 1 2011 and its derivation, and the strategy to improve the welfare of the farmer is related to the instruments which have the lowest force intensity, namely market instrument, family and community, and voluntary organizations.

Recognition of the nature of problems caused by urban growth in California has led to new legislation to cope with some of the operational difficulties faced by farmers in the urban fringe. Within this environment the California Land Conservation Act (Williamson Act) is intended to have its greatest impact. The aim of the legislation is accomplished by a voluntary contract between the farmer and local government which restricts the land to agricultural use. In return land is taxed on its agricultural value rather than its urban potential. This article represents a contribution to the appraisal of a significant initiative in public policy making which currently involves land-use control over some 5.5 million hectares of agricultural and open space land.

Information is critical for environmental governance. The rise of digital mapping has the potential to advance private-land conservation by assisting with conservation planning, monitoring, evaluation, and accountability. However, privacy concerns from private landowners and the capacity of conservation entities can influence efforts to track spatial data. We examine public access to geospatial data on conserved private lands and the reasons data are available or unavailable. We conduct a qualitative comparative case study based on analysis of maps, documents, and interviews. We compare four conservation programs involving different conservation tools: conservation easements (the growing but incomplete National Conservation Easement Database), regulatory mitigation (gaps in tracking U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's endangered species habitat mitigation), contract payments (lack of spatial data on U.S. Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program due to Farm Bill restrictions), and property-tax incentives (online mapping of Wisconsin's managed forest tax program). These cases illuminate the capacity and privacy reasons for current incomplete or inaccessible spatial data and the politics of mapping private land. If geospatial data are to contribute fully to planning, evaluation, and accountability, we recommend improving information system capacity, enhancing learning networks, and reducing legal and administrative barriers to information access, while balancing the right to information and the right to privacy.

Footprints: The Evolution of Land Conservation and Reclamation in Alberta is the story of how Alberta's land conservation and reclamation program came into being and how it has progressed over the past half century. Our goal is to provide an objective description for current and future generations. We believe it may be of interest and value to practitioners actively engaged in the numerous conservation and reclamation components, to landowners whose land is being disturbed, to industrial users responsible for the disturbance, to elected and appointed officials having a moral duty to see to the land's conservation and reclamation, and to college or university students considering a career in this or a related field. The book was initiated by several dozen retired or still-active land reclamation practitioners whose careers, in some instances, reach as far back as the 1960s. Some are still employed in public or private life, conserving and reclaiming our rich natural heritage. This is being written to help assess how effectively we have, or are, conserving our land base and providing the stewardship required to pass our legacy on to our progeny. Those participating in the book's creation include professional writers, former and current government regulators, researchers, academics, and former to current industry reclamation managers or practitioners. Some have contributed text, memories of their actions and observations, photographs and documents, or simply fragmented recollections to help piece together this history.
