“…Households that had a relatively larger land holding were more likely to allot more land to the cultivation of acacia (Nigussie et al 2017 ), which may enable them to produce enough firewood to satisfy their domestic needs as well as sell surplus biomass in a hypothetical market. Holding all else constant, this would probably mean that these households have a greater incentive to participate in a biomass feedstock market as compared to those who are poorly endowed, simply because they have more resources to take advantage of economies of size in terms of producing biomass and selling it into the market (Curman et al 2016 ; Hand et al 2019 ; Qu et al 2016 ; Stjepan et al 2015 ). Conversely, according to key informants, the availability of such a market may also serve as an incentive for smaller land owners (e.g., land-poor farmers and women) to engage in collecting woody biomass from nearby open access forests (e.g., communal and natural forests), as has been the case for generations, instead of relying only on biomass from privately owned woodlots.…”

Production of value-added outputs from biomass residues represents an opportunity to increase the supply of renewable energy in Ethiopia. Particularly, agroforestry could provide biomass residues for improved bioenergy products. The aim of this study was to characterize the interest of growers to provide biomass residues to a hypothetical biomass feedstock market. This study relied on a survey conducted on a sample of 240 farmers. Although the awareness of potential biomass products was generally quite low, a majority of farmers expressed interest in supplying biomass residues, but the level of interest depended on certain individual socio-economic and demographic characteristics. For example, younger and female household heads were found to be more interested in participating in the hypothetical biomass market, as were households with an improved biomass stove, larger land holdings, and higher income levels. In addition, larger households and those that felt less vulnerable to firewood scarcity also expressed more interest. As a whole, the results imply that farmers, particularly those with younger and female heads of households, should be supported with programs tailored to ensure their inclusion in biomass supply chains. Respondents generally preferred farm-gate sales of biomass, so the collecting, baling, and transporting of woody residues need to be properly incentivized or new actors need to be recruited into the supply chain. Providing households with energy-efficient tools such as improved stoves would not only increase demand for biomass products, but also increase the amount of biomass residues that could be supplied to the market instead of used at home.

“…Hutan Rakyat adalah hutan tanaman yang tumbuh di lahan milik rakyat yang menghasilkan berbagai macam produk hutan seperti kayu dan non kayu (Puspitojati, Mile, Eva, & Darusman, 2014). Salah satu tujuan pembangunan hutan rakyat adalah untuk menyuplai permintaan kayu, sekaligus sebagai sumber penghidupan rakyat (Halder et al, 2014;Nichiforel et al, 2018;Quiroga et al, 2019;Stjepan et al, 2015). Hutan rakyat dikelola dengan berbagai cara, antara lain dengan tanaman monokultur, campuran kayu rimba, dan agroforestry (Lastini, 2012;Rodríguez-vicente & Marey-pérez, 2009;Sanudin & Fauziyah, 2015).…”

National strategy on gender that stated in Presidential Instruction No. 9/2009, was also applied in private forest management. The composition of private forests which generally consist of woody plants, agricultural crops, and lower crops, allows for the sharing of gender roles in their management, as found in South Konawe. Research methods used survey method and interviews through Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study indicate that there is a share-out of roles between men and women in private forest management in South Konawe. Men play a dominant role in the management of woody plants, starting from planting to logging while women are dominantly involved in the lower crop cultivation. Women's involvement have greatly helped the family economy through selling vegetables and sago for family consumption as well as to meet daily needs. Supporting activities in private forest management such as attending farmer group meetings and being administrators of farmer groups are still dominated by men. For this reason, it is necessary to consider the proportional involvement of women in private forest management so that they can contribute more to the family needs.

“…Beberapa kajian menyebutkan bahwa adanya kegiatan HKm memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap kualitas lingkungan. Pada aspek ekologi, peranan HKm dapat dilihat dari potensinya dalam penurunan erosi dan peningkatan serapan karbon (Rahayu dkk., 2010;Stjepan et al, 2015). Pada aspek ekonomi, HKm berperan dalam peningkatan pendapatan dan pengentasan kemiskinan (Maryudi dan Krott, 2012;Premono dan Lestari, 2013).…”

Community Forest (HKm) activities in Babak Watershed have been carried out since 2007 and obtained a permit for community forest management (IUPHKm) in 2010. It cannot be denied that HKm has an influence on environmental quality, both quality of biophysics, economic and social environments. The purpose of this study was to determine environmental quality change of HKm activities in the Babak watershed in the period 2007-2015, both biophysical, economic and social environments. The study was conducted in 2015-2016 in HKm in Babak Watershed. Biophysical data obtained from field surveys and secondary data. Economic and social data were obtained by interviewing 102 respondents who were selected through purposive sampling technique. Biophysical data analysis was carried out using Soil and Water Analysis Tool (SWAT), while economic and social data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results showed that in the period 2007-2015 there were changes in the quality of the environment in HKm in the Babak watershed. Changes in biophysical quality are indicated by decreases in runoff and erosion; economic quality is indicated by an increase in income and a decrease in the amount of poverty; while increasing social quality is indicated by changes in behavior in the use of forest resources. Thus, the existence of HKm in the Babak watershed can be developed to improve the quality of biophysical, economic and social environment.
