“…To increase social acceptance and motivation for restoration and conservation, understanding the social complexities during the planning and implementation processes may be even more important than considering financial interests (Moreno‐Calles & Casas ; Cotler et al. ). Another pending task is to evaluate the restoration scenario to improve landscape connectivity between protected areas, habitat, and climatic refugia (Shoo et al.…”

“…Other possibility of this phenomenon is probably caused by the economic consideration of the farmer groups and other inhabitants on the study area. Even though some programs for farmer group have established, and the people was participated, however, the participation that was encouraged from economic stimulus without considering non-financial interest that can play an important role, will not improve the adoption of soil and water conservation program (Cotler et al, 2013). Some strategic policy from government based on collective action of participation need to be established to increase people participation with regard to non-financial interest.…”

Degraded lands are getting extensive worldwide. Even its existence has projected as a solution to fulfill agricultural land scarcity to meet the global demands of food and other agricultural goods, the rate of its extension should be inhibited. Some factors play important role. This research was aimed to find the explanation about how degraded land, biophysical and social factors are related. Research site was located in Lekso Watershed, East Java, Indonesia. Land degradation is assessed by evaluation of the critical land status based on procedure established by Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry in form of Regulation No. P.32/Menhut-II, 2009.A series of field survey using secondary data obtained from GIS tool performed to collect data for quantify the critical land status. Social factors in this study were limited on people perception, awareness and participation. These data collected by in-depth interview to the respondents. Site of presented respondent selected with purposive sampling, while the respondents in each site selected with stratified random sampling method. The research revealed that surface cover demonstrated high correlation and regression toward critical and very critical land (average r =-0.9822, R 2 = 0.9648). However, slope steepness located in high altitude showed a contrary trend in which increasing slope steepness decreased the number of total moderate, critical and very critical lands. The functional area of this location as protected forest gave a good surface cover on the steep slope and resulted on small area of degraded land. On the other side, negative perception about cultivation on forest and steep slope resulted in positive correlations with the area of very critical land (r = 0.6710 for cultivated forest, and r = 0.9113 for cultivated steep slope). Moreover, people awareness about flood, landslide and drought gave a negative correlation (r =-0.6274) with critical and very critical area. At last, people participation on farmers' organization could not be used to elucidate the range of degraded land as the participation in this context did not include the competency building about soil and water conservation values.

“…Los resultados de las evaluaciones de las zanjas bordo en México indican que retienen en promedio de 512.2 a 696.79 m 3 ha -1 de sedimentos y reducen la erosión en un 84% (Magaña y Diakite, 2007;Torres et al, 2010). Cotler et al (2013) reportaron que los indicadores de productividad y regulación del agua en el suelo como densidad aparente, carbono total, nitrógeno, porosidad y contenido de humedad no mejoro después de cuatro años de establecidas las zanjas bordo en diferentes regiones de México en comparación con los sitios de control. Cotler et al (2015) señalaron que la construcción de zanjas genera impactos negativos como la remoción de suelo por excavación para conformar el bordo y la exposición de 0.42 a 0.63 Mg de carbono orgánico.…”
