One of type land is forest area. Therefore, in the case of natural resources, governments often transfer selected property rights to industry, such as the right to mine an area or to exploit an area in exchange for some amount of economic rent. These economic rents collectively are known as “resource rents”, since they are derived from the utilization of natural resources. Resource rents encompass all direct revenues derived by nation. The research will provide information about an appropriate level for forest resource rent and for coal mining royalty. This research will also produce information about the impacts of the rent and royalty on forest resource exploitation rate. This information is useful to help the authority to maintain forest resource sustainability and to manage coal resources smoothly and to prevent the existence of big negative impacts to the environment. The research use primary and secondary data. Primary data include information from the relevant key persons by in deep interview. The resources rent will be calculated by the formula, Resource Rent = TR – (IC + CE + CFC + NP). The results of the study will be disseminated through published reports and seminars.
