      abstract = {This study presents an approach to analyzing decentralized  forestry and natural
resource management and land property  rights issues, and catalyzing collective
action among  villages and district governments. It focuses on  understanding the
current policies governing local people’s  access to property rights and decision
making processes,  and learning how collective action among community groups  and
interaction among stakeholders can enhance local  people’s rights over lands,
resources, and policy processes  for development. The authors applied participatory
action  research in two villages, one each in the Bungo and  Tanjabbar districts of
Jambi province (Sumatra), Indonesia,  to facilitate identification of priorities through
phases  of planning, action, monitoring, and reflecting. This study  finds that action
research may be an effective strategy for  fostering collective action and maintaining
the learning  process that leads groups to be more organized and  cohesive, and
district government officials to be more  receptive to stakeholders. A higher level of
collective  action and support may be needed to avoid elite capture  more effectively.},
