• A written scheme, which outlines the key
activities and provisions to be implemented
during a given period of time (10 years) for
protection, management, and utilization of
forest resources
• Prepared by the concerned CFUG
• Technical assistance may be provided by the
Divisional Forest Office

OP Process: Participatory resource mapping
4/2/2023 6
Combination of both
• Forest resource
+
• Social resource

4/2/2023 7
• Participatory resource mapping enables
communities to articulate their knowledge of their
surrounding physical environment.
• Using this method, they can map out in detail the
resources they depend on, the qualities they
attribute to these resources, who uses them, who
depends on them and how they manage them.
• Communities can use participatory mapping with
equal effect in rural and urban environments.

4/2/2023 8
• Through participatory resource mapping, external
actors — such as government planners, NGO staff
or researchers — can facilitate a process where
individuals or groups within a community articulate
their knowledge, which is often invisible to
outsiders.
• This enables collaborative discussion within and
across groups about solutions to problems that are
felt locally but often driven externally.

4/2/2023 9
• This approach has multiple stages that allow
participants to build trust through dialogue
over time.
Stage1.
developing a perception map with a large
group of men and women from a target area
that identifies the nature and locations of the
resources they perceive as important to their
community.

4/2/2023 10
Stage 2.
facilitators digitise the map with the community,
using GIS software to deepen the
knowledge/information collected in Stage 1.
Stage 3.
identify more resources involving particular groups
of resource users or sections of the community —
for example, men, women, elders, farmers,
pastoralists, clans or young people.

4/2/2023 11
• Stage 3 involves several validation meetings,
where the same or different participants can
add or modify details of the map.
• Facilitators return several times to ensure
they have collected all the details.
• People often remember new details over
time, or are willing to share more information
once they have built up trust after several
meetings.

4/2/2023 12
• Throughout the process, multiple
stakeholders are involved in the dialogue,
learn from each other and develop their
understanding of the resources they discuss.
• The final product can be a resource atlas or
thematic maps based on community
knowledge.
• All the information compiled in this process is
open access, making it free to use and edit
(adaptive process).

3. OP Process: Participatory forest visit/observation
4/2/2023 13
• Walking through the forest area by
the representatives of the
villages/groups
• It enables/empowers community to
have a deeper level of information
about their resources and prepare
reliable plan
• Cross-validation of the resource map

4. OP Process: Data analysis (socio-economic)
4/2/2023 14
• Information collected during HH Survey
during constitution making
– Status of livelihood assets
– Interest group wise forest product needs and supply
scenario
– Community development scenario

5. OP Process: Boundary survey
4/2/2023 15
• GPS/GIS
• Reference map acquired from the
department of survey

6. OP Process: Forest inventory and data Analysis
4/2/2023 16
• Keep record of different interest groups
• Follow inventory guideline and carry out
inventory of timber/NTFP
• Division of block; sub-block; working unit in
accordance with the needs of users, forest
conditions, and management objectives
• Calculation of Block, sub-block wise Growing
stock (GS), Annual increment (AI), Annual
Allowable Cut (AAC)

OP Process: Forest inventory and data Analysis
4/2/2023 17
• Fixing of tree numbers to be removed as
per thinning regime
• Planning activities like-Singling, bush
cutting, thinning on the basis of socio-
economic needs and forest condition
• Consider environmental, social, and
economic aspect during OP preparation

7. OP Process: PES- Climate Change Adaptation Planning
4/2/2023 18
• Consider PES approach
• Make climate change adaptation plan

OP Process: Tole meeting/interest group meeting
4/2/2023 19
• before preparing OP, conduct a series of
meetings with
– Toles
– Poor
– Women
– Dalit/janajati (DAGs)
– Distant users
– Elites
to share the result/information drawn after analyzing the
socio-economic and bio-physical (forest) data
then, draft an OPERATION PLAN

Components of the Operation Plan
4/2/2023 20

• Details of forest (name, boundary, area, topography,
forest types, forest condition, landuse)

enterprise development
• Basis of block, sub-block division
