Abstract

A sound understanding of households' perspectives on the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Plus scheme (REDD+) is essential for its success. This thesis explores households' perceptions, preferences, and segmentations under three forest management regimes - government, community, and private - in Kalimantan, Indonesia using discrete choice experiments. My results suggest that households' preference for REDD+ is significantly influenced by forest management regimes - community regime being most supportive - and their socioeconomic characteristics, leading into three latent groups of households in the study area: supporters, indifferent group, and sceptics. REDD+ policy making or project development should accommodate households' needs/concerns to achieve desired outcomes.
