The research highlighted that 37% of the population monthly incomes ranging from 300,000 to 1,000,000 IDR, influenced by natural resource availability. IPMA analysis categorized findings into quadrants: Quadrant I stressed enhanced community and government involvement in landscape service management. Quadrant II reflected community concerns about risks from landscape service use. Quadrant III underscored the necessity for greater transparency in government funding.

Conversely, positive gaps were found in financial assistance (+0.09) and community desire to reduce damage (+0.02).
