ABSTRACT
Nowadays there are massive and rapid improvements of science and technology that support management of forest resources to be sustainable. The improvements are particularly in providing better information for decision makers. One important component that determines the quality of forest resource information is data from regular measured permanent sample plots (PSP). To provide meaningful information, PSP should be well established and monitored/re- measured thus resulted in a good database that able to inform forest managers. Objective of this literature study is to review why and how PSP system should be established and monitored; review how is the performance of PSP system in Indonesia in supporting forest resource management and how to enhance current performance to obtain the optimal benefit of PSP system. PSP system establishment and its monitoring are expensive. However, establishment and monitoring of PSP system is a crucial part of forest management process. Not solely important for forest management unit level, but also very essential at national level. Therefore, government could take a significant role as a facilitator in establishment and monitoring of PSP system and up to dissemination of information resulted from PSP data.
