“…The forest dependency values in villages near the production forests in Bago Yoma region, Myanmar, which is the same region as this present study, were also reported to be 25% in 10 villages in both western and eastern aspects of Bago Yoma region by Khaine et al [24], and 37% in the Taungoo District by Soe and Yeo-Chang [25]. The reported values for forest income dependency for other countries included 21% in Ethiopia [5], 12% in Malawi [6], and 47% in Pakistan [26].…”

In many tropical regions, rural households often depend on forests for cash income, but there is still little knowledge on how forest use strategies differ among people living in different locations. This study aimed to detect differences in forest use strategies and forest cash income dependency between households living outside and inside selectively logged production forests, known as Reserved Forests (RFs), in Bago Township, Myanmar. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 146 and 48 households living outside and inside the RFs, respectively. The inside-households (encroachers) had a much higher forest cash income dependency (83%), with charcoal production as the main forest use activity, than the outside-households (32%), with bamboo cutting as the main activity. Higher forest dependency was found for outside-households that had less farmland, better accessibility to forest and more recognition of prohibited access to RFs in forest law. This study revealed evidence of substantial forest use for commercial purposes in RFs by households living both inside and outside the RFs, despite local recognition of the illegality of the use. Implementing community forestry practices for local communities may be a better option to reduce illegal dependence on selectively logged production forests.

“…This highlights the need to cultivate species of fuelwood producers with high calorific values, while also setting utilization quotas and guaranteeing legal certainty for violations (Jumbe and Angelsen 2011;Caurla et al 2013). Therefore, plantation of high economic value NTFP commodities needs to be increased, as a substitute for community income sources derived from the sale of fuelwood (Mukul 2016;Uprety et al 2016;Hussain et al 2019). This mechanism helps protect high conservation value wood species not used as fuelwood, so they can support carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation (Kongsager and Corbera 2015;Jasaw et al 2017;Tamang et al 2019;Aggarwal and Brockington 2020).…”

Abstract. Njurumana GN, Ginoga KL, Octavia D. 2020. Sustaining farmers livelihoods through community forestry in Sikka, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 3786-3796. One of the goals of managing global forest ecosystems today is to synergize their socio-economic, ecological and community livelihood benefits. Each forest type has various socio-economic and ecological characteristics that influence its management strategies and the provision services to the community. In general, the socio-economic benefits of forests in supporting community livelihoods are well known, however, the information which is specifically relevant to tropical monsoon forests is still very limited. This research aims to fill this knowledge gap, by providing information about the socio-economic conditions and provision of services of tropical monsoon forests to people's livelihoods. The research was conducted through structured interviews, FGDs, and field observations, by an analysis unit in community forests in the Sikka district. The information obtained was analyzed through descriptively qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed an imbalance between the socio-economic conditions of people who rely on the tropical monsoon forest for their livelihoods and the carrying capacity of fuelwood, food, and fodder supply. This imbalance is due to the weak synergy and organization of stakeholders in optimizing how the provision services of forests are used to support farmers' livelihoods. Farmers' dependence on the tropical forest services is still high, therefore the strengthening of farmers' institutions becomes a key factor that determines sustainable management of the forest and enhances the value of its benefits to the community.

“…Hutan merupakan sumberdaya alam multidimensional yang memberikan manfaat secara luas khususnya bagi kelangsungan hidup manusia baik pada aras lokal, nasional bahkan internasional (Maryudi, 2015). Pada tingkat lokal, khususnya di negara-negara berkembang, hutan memainkan peran yang esensial bagi kehidupan masyarakat sekitar (Hussain et al, 2019). Peran tersebut mencakup fungsi hutan sebagai penyedia produk dan jasa lingkungan sepertihalnya kayu bakar, pangan, obat-obatan, air, pakan, termasuk lahan garapan (Bose et al,2012;Elizabeth et al 2018;Hussain et al, 2019;Newton et al,2016).…”

Mount Bromo Special Purpose Forest Areas (KHDTK) is expected to be able to fully manage Sebelas Maret University by involving stakeholders, including those related to the communities around the forest. This research is intended to understand the form of interaction and the level of comparison of people to forests. Mixed methods, namely qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis used in this study to answer more complete research objectives. Mount Bromo KHdTK is by utilizing forests directly in the form of arable land (agroforestry patterns), energy (firewood), animal feed, air, and pine resin. Furthermore, the level of community participation in the forest is divided into three groups, namely low, medium, and high, with 49%, 38%, and 13%, respectively. Mount Bromo KHdTK continues to approve the community around the forest because they are the main party and first receive negative impacts from unsupported forest area management.
