The study was conducted during December, 2019 to December, 2021 at Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam, india with an objective to examine the impacts of scientific agricultural technologies on tribal livelihood security. Ex-post-fact research design was adopted to collect data from 400 tribal farmers from four tribal dominated districts viz., Chirang, Kokrajhar, Dhemaji and Karbi Anglong of Assam. Impacts weremeasured in terms of Livelihood Security Index (LSI) and Livelihood Endowment Status (LES) developed by Abadi (2010). When assessed on the basis of LSI, overall 31.00% shift was observed in case of beneficiary tribal farmers on before and after basis. LES was assessed comparing the beneficiary tribal farmers with non-beneficiary tribal farmers and the data revealed significant difference of 26.00% between the two groups. However, it was evident from the investigation that time gap in input supply, non-availability of suggested inputs locally after project period, high cost of inputs, lack of own capital to maintain the enterprises, difficulty in maintaining accounts etc. were the foremost problems faced by majority of the respondents.

Abstract. Roslinda E, Sabathino P, Pratama YA, Supriadi, Eva J. 2024. Community livelihood assets of forest village management in Nanga Lauk Village, Kapuas Hulu District, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 664-672. Village forest is a community-based forest management scheme in the social forestry program. At the same time, the management of village forest is local village communities that fulfill their daily needs by utilizing existing natural resources. Nanga Lauk Village Forest Management has successfully carried out activities on the social forestry program. This study aims to explain the livelihood system of the Nanga Lauk Village community to meet the family's living needs in managing the village forest. The study was conducted using a survey method in Nanga Lauk Village, Kapuas Hulu District, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, and the community was used as informants. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews guided by a list of questions, documentation, and a review of supporting literature. Data analysis was carried out descriptively, qualitatively and by Pentagon asset analysis. The assets owned by the people of the Nanga Lauk Village are resources of human, natural, financial, social, and physical. Natural and physical resources are the main assets used by society to meet life's needs, followed by social, human, and financial. So, the strategy that can be implemented is a consolidation based on socio-economic status. Meanwhile, based on activities to increase income, the community can apply livelihood strategies in agricultural sectors because of abundant natural resources. Skill training is needed for the community because a low level of human assets will shape the mindset of farmers regarding their inability to do other work on the side which should be able to improve their standard of living.
