| description | The recovery program for the peatland ecosystem in Sumatra, Indonesia, through Rewetting, Revegetation, and Revitalization (3R), requires social network value to enhance and support the program's objectives. Some interventions in various locations have aligned local policy, which is beneficial for peatland management. However, there is a lack of scientific publications examining whether this local policy effectively supports the value of peat ecosystem recovery. This study explores examines the role of social networks and values in post-fire peat management programs within a community governed by local policy. Jebus Village in Jambi Province, Sumatra Island, Indonesia, serves as the case study. Utilizing a validated combination of close-ended and open-ended questionnaires, respondents shared insights into their social networks. The results indicate that the social network value of Jebus Village is "High" across all three measured aspects, with an average score of 2.7 and a total of 82. Surprisingly, no significant correlation was found between these social networks and actual peat restoration efforts, suggesting a limited impact on the local economy. This raises questions about the effectiveness of current government-led restoration programs. Therefore, a deeper analysis of each program is necessary. Moving forward, the government should prioritize participatory assessments when developing peatland restoration policies, even in urgent situations, ensuring recovery programs align with local customs and traditions to enhance effectiveness.
