Abstract:
This research is conducted to know gender responsiveness from cultivating land policies to support
Bengawan Solo Watershed revitalization using Gender Analysis Pathways (GAP) model. Data is
collected by documentation study, interview, and observation in three institutions; Forestry and
Plantation Official Wonogiri Regency, Balai Pengelolaan Daerah Aliran Sungai (BPDAS) Solo, and
Perum Perhutani KPH Surakarta. Sampling technique used in the qualitative descriptive research is
purposive sampling with snowball method. The data is analyzed using content analysis technique. The
research shows that most of land management policy in three locations still neutral gender. Responsive
gender in land management policy formulation is only found in Pengarusutamaan Gender (PUG)
program in Forestry Development (Letter Decision of Forestry Ministry Number 82/Kpts-II/2003 about
Forestry PUG Group Work). There is a gender discrepancy especially for accessing
(chance/opportunity to cultivate land), role (participation in cultivating land), controlling (power to make
decision), and benefit (benefit/result from the best land management). It needs a reformation to the
justice and gender equality in the available policy reformulation form and arranging land management
grand design to support Bengawan Solo Watershed revitalization mixing land management policies
from each institution in the affirmative action policy/program/activity and gender mainstreaming.
