Forest is one of the most important natural resources, because of the economic and environmental functions it has. The management of forest resources at the local level has a positive influence on the sustainability of forests in future. Forests face a serious threat in Indonesia today. Over exploitation of timber, production that doesn’t take into account conservation issues, and the little access of the local population to forest resources constitute of the major policy issues. A shift in policy orientation is underway from the hitherto centralized to a decentralized one. The shift is compelling governments and Non government organizations to regain the control over management. Grobogan regency is located in central Java, covering an area 1, 975.86 Km2, with a population of 1, 346, 225 (Grobogan in Numbers). The topography constitutes of valley that lies between two limestone (Karst) mountains, namely Kendeng and North Kapur mountains.The two mountains are forest areas with Jati and Manohi as the main trees species, along with some areas serving as Minyak Kayu putih plantation. Grobogan is one of the main rice growing regions in Indonesia, and the agricultural sector contributes about 40 percent to the regional domestic product, making it the largest sector in the economy of the regency. Agriculture is the mainstay of people in Grobogan regency. The objective of this research was to identify the level of optimization attained in the management of forest resources in Grobogan regency prior to and after the implementation of regional autonomy policy, and to identify the most appropriate policy to manage forest resources that involves the participation of households drawn from the local people (tenants of the state owned forests) and companies (Perum Perhutani) in Grobogan regency. The research used goal programming analysis to determine the level of optimality. The conclusion made from research findings indicated that forest management efficiency of forest resource in Grobogan regency was reached in 2000. On the contrary, it was found out that the program of multi-cropping which was initiated by Perhutani as a means of involving the local population led to inefficiency. Proof of this is shown by analysis results of the labor force sector and the maximum output that can be achieved.
