Indonesian Selective Cutting and Planting System (TPTI) is a silvicultural system of production natural forests management conducted in Indonesia. TPTI implementation has resulted in damage to the residual stands and threatened the existence of production natural forests in Indonesia. This study assessed the damage level of the -1 residual stands of commercial species due to low cutting intensity (0.77 trees ha ), calculated low damages cutting -1 distance, and determined the number of trees ha which could be harvested sustainably. Dynamic sample plots with a circular shape with a radius of 2 times the height of felled trees were used in this study, and the number of sample plots was 29 plots with an average area of 1.3 ha. In the sample plots, the tree species, total height, diameter at breast height (dbh), and number of commercial trees >10 cm dbh were measured before and after cutting. The results showed that the damage level of residual stands caused by the low cutting intensity was 2.1%, where the damages included broken stems, splitted stems, and injured stems, leaning trees, fallen trees, broken crowns and broken buttresses. The low cutting intensity had damaged 7 commercial tree species with the diameter > 10 cm. The study recommends sustainable cutting on TPTI with a distance of > 1.5 times the height of felled trees and the number of -1 -1 trees ha that may be sustainably felled is no more than 5 trees ha . AbstraSistem Tebang Pilih Tanam Indonesia (TPTI) tidak mengatur batasan jumlah pohon ha yang boleh ditebang, sehingga memungkinkan untuk menebang hutan dengan intensitas penebangan tinggi. Penerapan TPTI telah mengakibatkan kerusakan tegakan tinggal dan mengancam eksistensi hutan alam produksi di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menilai tingkat kerusakan tegakan tinggal jenis komersial akibat penebangan intensitas rendah (0,77 -1 -1 pohon ha ), menghitung jarak tebang lestari dan menentukan jumlah pohon ha yang boleh ditebang secara lestari. Plot contoh dinamis berbentuk lingkaran dengan jari-jari sebesar 2 kali tinggi pohon yang ditebang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Jumlah plot contoh sebanyak 29 dengan luas rata-rata sebesar 1,3 ha. Pada plot contoh dilakukan pengukuran tinggi, diameter dan jumlah pohon komersial berdiameter ≥ 10 cm sebelum dan sesudah penebangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kerusakan tegakan tinggal akibat penebangan dengan intensitas rendah sebesar 2,1%, dengan tipe kerusakan berupa patah batang, pecah batang, luka batang, pohon miring, pohon roboh, rusak tajuk dan rusak banir. Penebangan pohon dengan intensitas rendah mengakibatkan 7 pohon jenis komersial berdiameter ≥ 10 cm mengalami kerusakan. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan jarak tebang -1 pohon lestari pada TPTI > 45 m atau > 1,5 kali tinggi pohon yang ditebang dan jumlah pohon ha yang boleh -1 ditebang secara lestari tidak lebih dari 5 pohon ha .
