“…However, CFM does not guarantee the alleviation of poverty of forest-dependent communities. It has been set only to ensure the subsistence economy of the communities, and is yet to provide them with an escape from poverty in PHBM community forestry in Java (Maryudi and Krott 2012).…”

Social capital provides an overview of a community's togetherness, unity, and mutual trust in achieving common goals towards sustainable development. Community forest management requires a certain level of social capital for sustainable forest management. This study aims to identify and analyze key factors influencing the community's social capital in forest management. The key factors influencing the level of social capital in a community include internal factors such as individual characteristics and knowledge of community forest management, and external factors such as extension activities, the role of the forest farmer group, and access to information. Using the theoretical framework of social capital and multiple linear regression models, we found that social capital was significantly influenced by both internal and external factors, indicating a need to improve these factors. To increase the value of social capital for maintaining the sustainability of community forest management, the results of this Indonesian case suggest that individual characteristics, procedural knowledge of community forest management, and the role of forest farmer groups need to be considered for forest management based on the social capital of forest communities.

“…Moreover, the additional income from the Madiun model was modest and did not bridge the gap between the incomes of members and non-members (Table 11). As we have indicated, the benefits derivable from the Madiun model were negatively influenced by issues of quality, quantity, and continuity, as previously pointed out by Maryudi & Krott (2012) and Fujiwara et al (2012). Thus, within the current configuration, it is not possible for all members of the MPSDH to depend solely on the Madiun model for their livelihoods.…”

“…Few field surveys have analyzed the benefits for local people, e.g. household income surveys (Djamhuri 2012, Fujiwara et al 2012, Maryudi & Krott 2012. However, Mayers & Vermeulen (2002) demonstrated that concrete economic benefit "tended to be uppermost among the motives" for local people engaging in the Company-Community Forestry Partnerships; individual economic advantage is an important factor in the partnership's success.…”

The State Forest Company of Indonesia launched its Company-Community Forestry Partnerships system on the island of Java in 2001 (PHBM system). We examined the PHBM's effects on the economic lives of participating villagers through a case study in Madiun, East Java. We specifically examined the potential and limits of the PHBM's contribution to villagers' livelihoods by quantitatively evaluating (i) the system's impact on household livelihoods and (ii) the continuity of its impact. Of households engaging in PHBM, 45.6% had more than half their arable land in the forest, and 10.0% of households had arable land only in the forest. The bulk of non-timber forest products, mostly fuelwood, was collected in the forest. Among villagers earning an income, 12.2% earned more than half via the PHBM, which was the only source of cash income for 2.2% of the engaged villagers. For some households, PHBM has helped significantly improve their livelihoods. However, the benefits derived from the PHBM were tempered by problems of quality, quantity, and continuity. The benefit of the system could be increased by providing preferential opportunities (to access farmland in the forest and/or cash income) to small-scale or impoverished farmers by improving the usage of intercropping land under planted trees, and promoting small business as a group enterprise.Discipline: Forestry and forest products Additional key words: Perum Perhutani, teak forest management

“…Over one-tenth of the world's forests are estimated to be managed through community forestry arrangements (Maryudi and Krott 2012). Proponents of such arrangements emphasize that the ability to conserve forests depends critically on local people's involvement and active participation (Agrawal and Gibson 1999).…”
