“…Studies conducted by [19]; and [20] explained that whenever the urgency of need exceeds the capacity of resources, people tend to seek other alternatives. They utilized the forest resources by harvesting timber and non-timber forest products instantly, even though it is the state forest [12]. These forest products are for on-farm consumption and market sale in the pandemic situation [6,17,21,22].…”

“…The study conducted by [11] reported that natural resources, especially forests, are often used as objects of utilization by rural communities. They harvest timber, fuelwood, non-timber forest products, mining, land use, and environmental services [12,13]. Likewise, some previous studies have proved that the utilization of natural resources in rural often affects the destruction of land and forests [14,15].…”

This article presents an analysis of the potential forest damage that occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic in rural communities on the Forest Management Unit (FMUs). It focused on forest utilization and deforestation before and during the epidemic. Base on The data on online surveys using Google form instruments, Zoom meetings, and in-depth telephone interviews with the informants. The data of the research were analyzed descriptively using the mind mapping method. The data analysis shows that social and economic impacts potentially enhance the threat of forest resource utilization-increasing pressure on the forest due to the increase in forest product demand. Even though the government made efforts to minimize forest degradation and prevent illegal logging, the communities didn't follow the policy because there were no alternative solutions. The timber logging is carried out into a threat to forest degradation when it's not immediately prevented. The FMU needs to improve access to rural living near the forest to increase their forest income. These solutions are crucial for reducing illegal logging activities and forest degradation in the pandemic.

“…In the course of its management, social dynamics occurred, mainly due to the migration of people around the LLNP. The main motivation for migration was on the need to meet family needs (Golar et al, 2019a;Satyanarayana et al, 2012). The phenomenon of migration began to appear in early 2017.…”

Like other indigenous communities living among and near forests, the Lembah Bada Community has a reach tradition of local wisdom to preserve its forests (Golar et al, 2019a). These practices are considered multi-generational and adaptive, a heritage passed down from their ancestors.…”

The Community Conservation Partnership Agreement (KKM) was an effort to reduce, prevent and mitigate the impacts arising from the complexity of managing Lore Lindu National Park. Several approaches in building KKM in the National Park had been carried out by several parties but had not proceeded as expected. Social Contracts were built to advance community agreements. The purpose of this study was to explore the obstacles and strategies for implementing KKM in the National Park. A qualitative approach was used in this study, through in-depth interviews, field observations, and active research in the process of drafting the KKM agreement. The results showed there were multiple interpretations of the roles, functions, and work of the parties based on their authority and interests in building the KKM. This resulted in the KKM becoming unsustainable. Findings show that in order to re-establish the KKM requires strategic steps, which mediate across stakeholder interests. Partnerships towards effective social contracts would only succeed if there was recognition of, and meaningful involvement among parties that begin at the design and planning processes and continue throughout the implementation phases of the partnership activities. The process of building a social contract must therefore begin with solid communication between stakeholders, which establish institutional mechanisms that are systematic, promote active coordinative, and are based on the trust and understanding between stakeholders.

“…One of them is the pressure on forest areas due to land use activities carried out by the community. It is the cause of compensation for their land affected by mining activities and covid 19 diseases [16,17]. It is crucial because most people in this region rely heavily on arable land, both in the village and forest areas [6,18].…”

This study aims to analyze the recovery of the agricultural area’s function affected by the Poboya traditional gold mining in supporting the stability of sustainable food supply. We began the research by examining the existing mining land conditions through spatial analysis (land cover and land use changes from 2010 to 2019). Apart from that, it also analyzed the land’s health was through the soil’s physical and chemical properties, especially mercury. The observation proved that changes in the land’s cover and uses lead to decreased land quality and degradation. The existing condition showed heavy metals, particularly mercury, mostly polluted agricultural land in the mining area. The model design produced by this study may 1) emphasize land arrangement; 2) revegetation design with forestry, plantation, and food crops; 3) domesticated plant; and 4) environmental monitoring, concerning monitoring of soil quality, monitoring of erosion and sedimentation, water quality, acid mine drainage, successful revegetation, and others. These four aspects expect to help suppress the rate of land degradation in agriculture located in ex-mining areas and reduce forest destruction in the Grand Forest Park area.
