The Impact of Joint Community Forest Management (PHBM) on Local Community Income in Upstream of Ciliwung Watershed, Bogor Regency-Indonesia

Abstract

Forest area in the upstream of Ciliwung watershed is one of the last remaining forests in the hinterland of Jakarta metropolitan. Forest degradation and the rapid pressure of land use change are serious issues in the Greater Jakarta area that need to be addressed. In 2009, Joint Community Forest Management (PHBM) was initiated by Perum Perhutani in the upstream area of Ciliwung watershed at Kampung Cibulao, Tugu Utara Village, Bogor Regency. This PHBM program involved a forest farmer group in managing village forests, particularly through the management of shade-grown coffee and mountain bike trails. This study investigates the impact of the PHBM program on the local economy improvement using the latest datasets of financial management of forest farmer group in 2017. The aims of this study are to analyse: 1) farmers income from PHBM activities; 2) feasibility of shaded-grown coffee and mountain bike trails activities by using benefit and cost analysis (NPV, IRR, Nett B/C Ratio). The results show that there has been a significant increase of income namey 16.55% or IDR 248,333/hectare/month of cherry and 47.77% or IDR 716,563/hectare/month of green beans. Meanwhile, the management of mountain bike trails has increased the farmers’ income by 32% or IDR 480,000/person/month. The finding of feasibility study shows that Mountain Bike Trails Management is financially not feasible for communal business if it uses the current proportion of business sharing. Therefore, it is necessary to renegotiate the proportion of sharing in order to provide more economic benefits for the local people.

Does Social Forestry Contribute to Farmers’ Income?: A Case Study of Two Mountainous Villages on Java Island, Indonesia

“…The tendency of SF members to earn higher farm income than non-SF members (as shown in Table 3) is also statistically significant in the regression analysis controlling for corresponding variables (as shown in Table 7). This finding aligns with Veriasa et al (2020), who estimated that coffee production under Pengelolaan Hutan Bersama Masyarakat (PHBM, Joint Community Forest Management) scheme, significantly increases income compared to tea plantation workers in Cibulao. Meanwhile, neither a significant difference nor a positive correlation was observed in the regression analysis for farm income in Tombo.…”

“…Cibulao, registered as RT 2 RW 6 in Dusun 2 in Tugu Utara village, hosts a population of 443 and 150 households. The sub-village was established in 1992 to accommodate employees of a tea plantation company PT Sumber Sari Bumi Pakuan (PT SSBP) (Veriasa et al, 2020). The company owns the area and visitors are required to pay entry fees at the gate.…”

Memperbaiki Kinerja Perhutanan Sosial Menuju Keberlanjutan Hutan Jawa

“…Namun, dalam implementasi program PHBM masih mengalami beberapa masalah seperti kejelasan hak akses, masalah efektivitas kelembagaan (Fujiwara et al, 2012;Ramadhan et al, 2022), partisipasi masyarakat (Dwijanti et al, 2018), perjanjian kerjasama, skema bagi hasil dan kelayakan usaha (Prihayati & Veriasa, 2021;Veriasa et al, 2020), serta masalah internalisasi PHBM di periode tahun 2007 sampai 2017, terdapat 42 Kelompok Tani Hutan yang telah mendapatkan izin Hutan Kemasyarakatan (Hkm), 6 desa yang telah mendapatkan izin Hutan Desa (HD), dan 3 Koperasi Unit Desa yang mendapatkan izin Hutan Tanaman Rakyat (HTR).…”

Studi potensi lanskap wisata Kampung Rawa Gede, Desa Tugu Utara, Kabupaten Bogor, berbasis partisipatif

“…Pendahuluan Kampung Rawa Gede terletak di Desa Tugu Utara, Kecamatan Cisarua, Kabupaten Bogor. Kampung Rawa Gede merupakan area yang berada di area hulu Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Ciliwung atau yang dikenal dengan "Area Puncak" yang ditetapkan oleh UNESCO sejak 1977 sebagai tempat Cagar Biosphere dan berperan penting dalam menangkap air yang mengalir ke Sungai Ciliwung hingga menuju Teluk Jakarta (Veriasa, 2020;GGNP & ITTO, 2014). Di sisi lain, terdapat berbagai komunitas di area hulu Sungai Ciliwung yang secara tidak langsung berkontribusi dalam keberlanjutan hutan salah satunya.…”

“…LMDH Puncak Lestari melakukan berbagai aktivitas salah satunya memperkenalkan kopi robusta melalui agroforestri yang dikelola oleh KTH Cibulao Hijau (Veriasa, 2020). Kopi Cibulao tersebut kemudian menjadi terkenal karena telah mendapat pengakuan nasional sebagai juara satu tingkat nasional dalam perlombaan Kontes Kopi Spesialti Indonesia (KKSI) ke-VIII kategori robusta, dengan kualifikasi uji, cita rasa, dan kenikmatan kopi, yang berlangsung di Takengon, Aceh, tahun 2016Aceh, tahun (mediabogor, 2019kilasberita, 2020;Hamzah, 2020).…”
