VBS/RM
Orientation
• Step 1 of Planning Stage
Determine
of Subdistrict(s) and Village(s) within the selected District. MCA-Indonesia will collaborate with the
District Bappeda to determine the geographic location and extend of the
Subdistricts. The Consultant will conduct stakeholders engagement planning as
the initial framework for participation, and in particular to determine if subdistricts
include indigenous/customary (adat) territories where free, prior and
informed consent will be required.
• Step 2 of Planning Stage
Legalization
of VBS/RM Guidelines and establishment of Village Delineation and Demarcation
Committee (TPPBD) of District Government and District Government
(Bupati) stipulates use of GP PLUP VBS/RM Process and Guidelines.
• Step 1 of Preparation Stage
VBS/RM
Orientation for Subdistrict Technical Team at subdistrict capital to
explain VBS/RM (attendees: selected consultant, newly recruited Subdistrict
Technical Team and facilitators). The
Consultant will work with MCA-Indonesia to organize and hold this meeting.
• Step 2 of Preparation Stage
Discussion
and agreement on Work Plan and Communication Mechanism Plan at District level at
Bupati Office to explain VBS/RM Process and Guidelines, responsibilities of
each party and develop a VBS/RM Work Plan (attendees: Bupati officials,
MCA-Indonesia, Bappeda, BPN, selected consultant and Camats of each
subdistrict). MCA-Indonesia will work with the Bupati to organize and hold this
meeting.
• Step 3 of Preparation Stage
Discussion
and Agreement on Work Plan and Communication Mechanism at Subdistrict level at
subdistrict capital to explain VBS/RM (attendees: Camat, selected consultant,
Kepala Desa of each village within sub district). The Consultant will work with the Camat to
organize and hold this meeting.
• Step 4 of Preparation Stage
Formation
of Village Participation Team (VPT) representing each village within
the sub district. The Camat will work directly with the Kepala Desa and in
collaboration with the Consultant to establish this team. MCA-Indonesia will
oversee the process of establish of the VPT which will be established according
to the guidelines described in page 131 to 133 and generally in accordance with
the Green Prosperity Stakeholder Engagement Plan.
• Step 1 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
Collection
and Compilation of Geospatial Information, i.e. Base Map in GIS format
and prepare hard copy maps for use at various meetings, workshops and public
expositions (see Guidelines for technical specifications). The consultant will
also start collecting data and information on concession maps, permits and
licensees related to natural resource management, land tenure, land use, the
district spatial plan, and land dispute locations in the selected subdistrict.
• Step 2 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
VBS/RM
Workshop to build capacity of VPT at Bupati Office (attendees: Bupati,
Consultant and all Camats and VPTs within the sub district). The Consultant
will work with the Bupati and the Camat to organize and hold this Workshop.
• Step 3 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
Establish
of Disputes Resolution Mechanism. Present on the basic concept of
village boundary dispute, potential disputes pertaining to village boundary,
and dispute resolution mechanism. Build consensus on the forms and mechanism of
village boundary dispute resolution.
• Step 4 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
Convene
Village VBS/RM Technical Meeting(s) in each village using VBS/RM Base
Map to initially ‘determine’ boundaries cartometrically and identify critical
natural and cultural resources areas to be mapped. It is expected that there will need to be a
series of technical meetings depending on the complexity of the situation in
the village. The Consultant will work
with the VPTs to organize and hold these meetings.
• Step 5 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
• Compilation/Collection
of Boundary and Natural / Cultural
Resources Data in the field, through office research, interviews, and
field visits, as needed, to refine and adjust boundaries and to map resource
areas (field data will be captured on-site with GNSS receivers and other survey
instruments including the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to collect
high-resolution geo-reference images and map areas of critical natural and
cultural resources). The Consultant will be responsible for training the VPT to
support the collection of the data; the role of the Facilitators and
Technicians is critical in these steps to guide and assist the VPT.
• While
acquisition of satellite imagery will be essential to carry-out the VBS/RM
process, due to climatic conditions in many of the subdistricts, the use of
traditional satellite imagery will not provide sufficient quality or spatial
resolution to adequately capture high resolution imagery of critical natural
and cultural resources areas within the villages. The Consultant will develop
innovative procedures for using various unmanned aerial systems (UAS) platform
(vertical take-off and landing – VTOL, fixed wing and limited take-off/landing)
to test the feasibility of this technology in the participatory VBS/RM process
to acquire high resolution (5-10cm) geo-referenced planimetric and oblique
imagery and videos. The intended use of
the UAS is not to map the entire area of the subdistrict or the villages but
rather specifically to provide accurate mapping of critical natural and
cultural resource areas within the villages.
• Step 6 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
Classification
and Resolution of Boundary Disputes (between villages) and Other Land-Based
Disputes, it is expected various types of land-based disputes may be
identified as part of the VBS/RM process, in particular during the field work
step. These disputes will be identified
categorized and geographically located (geolocated) and a process for
willingness-based mediation should be used to resolve disputes when and where
possible. The role of the VPT is important in assisting the parties to the
dispute to resolve the issue and, also, to provide community acknowledgment of
the willingness of the parties and the legitimacy of the process. As
participatory VBS/RM activities take place in the field, different types of
disputes may arise, including boundary disputes, land use disputes, and land
tenure disputes. It is important to first identify the potential causes of
boundary disputes. For example, the disputes should be grouped into segments of
those that are: (i) potentially non-problematic; (ii) problematic but easily
resolved; or (iii) problematic and difficult to resolve. The disputes can then be geographically
localized (geo-located) within the subdistrict or villages and can inform the
various workshops and technical meetings. The Consultant is responsible to
develop and test an alternative dispute mediation mechanism to accompany the
implementation of the participatory VBS/RM process. The mechanism developed
needs to include the following requirements: (i) community-level; (ii)
extrajudicial; (iii) voluntary; and (iv) produces written agreements. Rather
than being imposed, it should be based on willingness to enter the process and
willingness to accept the results. As far as possible, a customary settlement
mechanism should be used to reach agreement, since such a mechanism can better
ensure the continuity of the agreement.
• Step 7 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
Public
Exposition and Finalization of Village Cartometric Maps, this
exposition should include one public meeting and, at minimum 14 days of public
review and comment. The Consultant will work in collaboration with the Kepala
Desa to determine the appropriate location within the village for posting the
results and for accommodating the villagers during their review of the results.
• Step 8 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
Workshop
on Village Boundary Delineation and Planning for Village Boundary Demarcation
with all VPTs to review results from each village and achieve consensus at the
landscape level or identify areas to be confirmed in the field (attendees:
Village Delineation and Demarcation Committee, Camats and VPTs).
• Step 9 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
Village
Boundary Surveying and Demarcation. Finalize fieldwork to affirm boundaries and
place markers at boundary limits (see Guidelines for technical
specifications). This work will be done
with the support of the VPTs.
• Step 10 of Implementation and Reporting
Stage
Prepare
VBS/RM Activity Report in each village and for the sub district
(including: description of process, village history, description of disputes
encountered, list of villages delineated and area, geographic coordinates of
boundary markers, maps, imagery, and GIS database etc. as defined in the GP
PLUP VBS/RM Guidelines.
• Step 1 of Verification, Approval and
Delivery Stage
Verification
and Approval of VBS/RM Activity Report, in accordance with GP PLUP
VBS/RM Guidelines.
