This presentation details the process and criteria by which tenure reform research sites were selected as part of CIFOR's Global Comparative Study in Indonesia. Topics include selection criteria (status of tenure reform, community attributes, willingness of stakeholder participation) and an overview of selected sites.

1. Research design in Indonesia:
Overview of potential sites
Inception Workshop: GCS-Tenure Project
