The larger land the longer the time needed to maintain the crop Topographical conditions, besides socioeconomic conditions, were closely related with crops management such as crops combination as stated by Fujiwara et al (2018).…”

“…Working days per year by each farmer group time for implementing the program activities. Similarly with Sabastian et al (2014) and Fujiwara et al (2018), the household characteristic and job opportunities both on-farm and off-farm in Gunung Kidul is significant factors affecting farmers' decisions to manage timber trees. Winberg (2010) reported some factors that attract people to participate in Participatory Forest Management in Ethiopia, which were clear benefits and incentives that outweigh their investments in managing the forests.…”

FACTORS INFLUENCING FARMERS DECISION IN COMMUNITY-BASED FOREST MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, KPH CIAMIS, WEST JAVA. Community Based Forest Management program through Pengelolaan Hutan Bersama Masyarakat (PHBM) scheme has been implemented in Perhutani forest in Java since 2001. The program has been developed to alleviate rural poverty and deforestation as well as to tackle illegal logging. However, there was very limited information and evaluation on activities of the program available especially in remote area/regencies, including Ciamis. This paper studies the socioeconomic, geographical and perceptional factors influencing farmers decision to join PHBM program, farmers selection criteria for the crops used in the program, and farmer decision to allocate their time in the program. It also examines the costs and income related to the program and how the program land was allocated between different farmers groups and within the farmers groups as well as the perceptions of the state company's (Perhutani) staff members on the program. Deductive approach was used with quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires from 90 respondents at three farmer groups from 3 villages, 30 respondents of each group respectively. Cross tabulation and descriptive statistical analysis were used to analyse quantitative data. Qualitative data were collected through interviewing of 9 key informants, three informants of each farmer group respectively, and two Perhutani's staff. Results showed that PHBM program contributed to about 26.9% to community's monthly income. The program introduced benefit-sharing system and accommodated community initiatives. Perhutani's support was illustrated by freedom of choice of community in selecting the sharing area (land allocated for farmer to manage) and the planted crops. Factor influencing farmers' decision in selecting the sharing area was geographic conditions, in selecting the crops was farmer skills, and in allocating working time was farmers' priority.

“…Penerimaan dari hasil penjualan kayu umumnya digunakan untuk keperluan yang bersifat insidentil seperti untuk biaya sekolah dan biaya perbaikan rumah. Hal yang sama terjadi pada pemilik hutan rakyat di Gunung Kidul di mana kegiatan tebang butuh umumnya dilakukan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan non-harian seperti untuk pembayaran sekolah, kesehatan, acara keluarga, dan perbaikan rumah (Fujiwara et al, 2018). Hasil analisis finansial untuk masing-masing tipe penggunaan lahan di keempat desa adalah sebagai berikut:…”

Small-scale forest as private property has implications on autonomous management decisions, including whether it will be preserved or converted. Changes in land management at the water catchment area of Jatigede reservoir will impact on the dam condition. The purposes of this study are to determine the financial feasibility level of the small-scale forest business compare to other forms of land management, to identify factors influencing farmer's decisions, and to evaluate implication of property rights to the conversion of small-scale forest. The results show that small-scale forest management in Jatigede catchment area is generally found in the form of woodlands and agroforestry. Other forms of land management are rice fields and crops. Financial analysis shows that all land management patterns are feasible. The economic factors in the form of profits, savings, and selffulfillment are the dominant motivations for timber planting. The financial benefit difference between agroforestry and crops management is not very large, but the potential for conversion is still exists due to daily need fulfillment. One approach that can be applied to prevent small-scale forest conversion is through policy interventions on payment for environmental services, where the target is more intended for empowerment activities to meet the needs of daily living.

“…Partly because of parcelization, landscapes can be ecologically fragmented by having different land uses between plots and across ownerships. As suggested by Fujiwara et al (2018) decisions to allocate particular management practices to different parcels are often driven by site conditions (e.g., topography, soil fertility) and land tenure considerations (e.g., individual-or group-ownership, leased). In addition, farmers' adoption of agroforestry practices, and tree planting decisions specifically, has been influenced by available agricultural technologies in response to declining soil quality and household labor supply, government policies, national reforestation programs, among other reasons (van Der Poel and van Dijk 1987;Nibbering1999).…”

“…Kidul farmers have incorporated tree planting within agricultural crops as a form of capital accumulation (Rohadi et al 2011) and to improve their livelihoods through low-input land management strategies (Roshetko et al 2013). Socioeconomic and farm conditions determine the functions trees serve (Fujiwara et al 2018). Common purposes include wood production, boundary demarcation, canopy for shade-demanding crops, protection against erosion, and shelter.…”

We characterize a parcelized land management system that does not meet traditional co-located agroforestry practices in the tropics. A cut-and-carry agroforestry system for confined livestock emphasizes land utilization as a source of fodder, cutting and carrying feed from parcels to paddocks near a farmer’s home. It reduces feed cost by utilizing parcels under private, shared, and/or public ownership. Within cut-and-carry systems, we distinguish between those where parcels are managed as monocrops and traditional co-located agroforestry practices. Primary data for our case study were collected by surveying heads of household in Central Java, Indonesia, and analyzed following a capitals-based rural livelihoods framework. A sample of 122 farmers who managed parcels under co-located agroforestry practices was compared against 50 farmers who implemented parcelized monocropping. Overall, the adoption of cut-and-carry systems supports financial resiliency by limiting cash expenditures, facilitating income diversification, and producing assets that meet planned market opportunities and unforeseen cash needs. Survey results show that farmers who engage in parcelized agroforestry have more farming experience, higher farming income, are located at higher elevations, and live farther from the nearest local market. On-farm income among agroforestry cut-and-carry farmers was on average 11.1% higher than those using a cut-and-carry system but only adopting monocrop practices. Land as a biophysical capital asset under full private-ownership and at higher altitudes, and longer farming experience as a human capital asset, increased the likelihood of adopting parcelized co-located agroforestry practices. Membership in cash-crop cooperatives as a form of social capital asset was associated with a higher likelihood of managing land as parcelized monocrops.
