“…In rural areas, the poorest segments of the population often rely on forests for survival (Tugault-Lafleur 2007;Coulibaly-Lingani et al 2009). A growing body of literature suggest that forest products often act as a 'safety nets' or a form of insurance for the rural poor, as a large proportion of people in developing countries obtain an important part of their subsistence and some cash income from a wide set of forest products and forest-related activities (Vanacker et al 2003;Coulibaly-Lingani et al 2009).…”

The use of forest products allows livelihood diversification, but may lead to forest degradation and/or net deforestation when it is not (well) controlled.…”

The national-scale forest recovery of Vietnam started in the early 1990s and is associated with a shift from net deforestation to net reforestation. Large disparities in forest cover dynamics are, however, observed at the local scale. This study aims to unravel the mechanisms driving forest cover change for a mountainous region located in northwest Vietnam. Statistical analyses were used to explore the association between forest cover change and household characteristics. In Sa Pa district, deforestation rates are decreasing, but forest degradation continues at similar rates. Deforestation is not necessarily associated with impoverished ethnic communities or high levels of subsistence farming, and the largest forest cover dynamics are found in villages with the best socio-economic conditions. Our empirical study does not provide strong evidence of a dominant role of agriculture in forest cover dynamics. It shows that empirical studies on local-scale forest dynamics remain important to unravel the complexity of human-environment interactions.

“…Altogether 37.69% of the respondents were illiterate and 10.77 % respondents only had the access to the "upper level" schools and colleges. In addition, according to the age categorized by Mehta and Heinen (2001), younger (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35), middle-aged (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55), and older ( ≤ 56): 27.69, 44.62 and 27.69 % of the respondents were younger, middle-aged and older respectively. The main wildlife raiding the agriculture crop were one-horned rhinoceros, forest cow and wild boar.…”

Conservation of biodiversity in Protected Areas will be more challenging if local communities are heavily dependent on them for various forest products and subsistence needs. Thus this study sought to identify the demographic and socioeconomic variable that influence forest dependency exploring the relationship of forest dependency and household characteristics of the households of the Panbari Buffer Zone Community Forest User Group of Chitwan National Park, Nepal. A sample of 130 households was randomly selected for the household survey using stratified random sampling and collected was analyzed using logistic regression model. Logistic regression result indicate that wealth status of the poor household, household family size, livestock population, agricultural income and education are the five major determinants of forest dependency in Panbari Buffer Zone Community Forest. Policy interventions to ensure long-term success of landscape-level conservation of Chitwan National Park are needed to decrease dependence on forest resources expanding educational and training opportunities; and the policy measures that aim at increasing agriculture income, generating off-farm employment opportunities, supply of the alternatives of fuel wood energy and adopting agrisilvicultural system for the supply of fodder for the livestock.

“…Salah satu bentuk adaptasi sumber nafkah rumah tangga bagi masyarakat Semende yaitu dengan melakukan pemungutan HHBK, yaitu pada saat tidak ada pemasukan pendapatan dari kopi dan padi. Pemungutan HHBK yang menjadi penopang kehidupan bagi rumah tangga sekitar hutan tersebut akan dipengaruhi oleh karakteristik individu, seperti usia, etnis, sumber pendapatan dan pekerjaan (Coulibaly-Lingani et al, 2009), lokasi, tingkat kesejahteraan, gender, pendidikan dan tata waktu usaha tani (Timko, Waeber, & Kozak, 2010) . Berdasarkan hasil analisis (Tabel 4), pada kasus pemungutan HHBK pada kawasan hutan yang memiliki akses terbuka seperti di daerah Semende dan sekitarnya, karakteristik pekerjaan, pendapatan, pasar dan lama waktu pengambilan menjadi faktor yang berhubungan signifikan terhadap minat rumah tangga untuk melakukan kegiatan pemungutan rotan jernang.…”

Natural dragon's blood in Muara Enim ABSTRAKRotan jernang alam di Kabupaten Muara Enim semakin menurun akibat degradasi hutan dan lahan, serta aktivitas pemungutan yang dilakukan tanpa memperhatikan aspek kelestarian. Padahal jernang dapat berperan sebagai penopang kehidupan masyarakat di sekitar hutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pemungutan rotan jernang alam, kontribusinya sebagai sumber penghidupan dan faktor yang memengaruhi pemungutannya. Pengumpulan data primer dan sekunder dilakukan dengan metode survei rumah tangga menggunakan bantuan kuesioner, diskusi kelompok fokus, serta observasi lapangan. Data ditabulasikan dan dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat melakukan kegiatan pemungutan rotan jernang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga pada saat tidak ada sumber pendapatan lain, yaitu ketika panen kopi dan padi sudah berakhir. Keberadaan rotan jernang yang semakin terbatas mengharuskan mereka untuk masuk jauh dan menginap di dalam hutan. Oleh sebab itu, para penjernang akan berkelompok sebanyak 4-6 orang. Cara pengumpulan hasil rotan jernang alam ada dua macam, yaitu dengan cara membawa buah bertangkainya atau dengan membawa hasil olahan (resinnya), tergantung pada jarak lokasi pemungutannya. Pendapatan yang diterima masyarakat dari pemungutan rotan jernang sebesar Rp551.087, yaitu 20,20% dari total pendapatan. Pekerjaan, pendapatan, pasar dan lama waktu pemungutan menjadi faktor yang berhubungan signifikan terhadap minat masyarakat untuk melakukan pemungutan rotan jernang.Kata kunci: Masyarakat sekitar hutan; rotan jernang; penopang kehidupan.
