Abstract
The management of private forests carried out by farmers, in general, is still very simple. Land tenure is usually relatively narrow and diffuse, family-based management with limited knowledge and multi cropping in one field. Nevertheless, the benefits can already be felt by farmers both economically, ecologically, and socially. Private forests can increase land cover in the form of trees and various other types of plants. The characteristics of private forests that are generally encountered on Java are also found in the Cluwak sub-district, Pati regency. This paper will review and identify various challenges in private forest management in the Cluwak sub-district, Pati regency. Thus economically, ecologically, and socially sustainable private forest management becomes a challenge that is not impossible to realize. Data analysed descriptively from field observations, various reports, and similar research findings. Several studies have found that there are factors that influence the management of private forests such as internal factors (natural resources, human resources, farmers' group institutional, social) and external factors (markets, government assistance, and culture technique).
Highlights
Forests are one of the natural resource whose roles in various aspects of life, both economic, social, and environmental aspects
Terminology of private forests, in general, are forests that grow on land that is encumbered with ownership rights or other rights outside the forest area with a minimum area of 0.25 ha, canopy cover for timber, and other plants of more than 50% [10]
Private forests in Java have characteristics that are a challenge in their management [16], as well as those found in private forests in Cluwak sub-district Pati regency including: 1. A relatively narrow and spread out area
Summary
Forests are one of the natural resource whose roles in various aspects of life, both economic, social, and environmental aspects. The supply of wood raw materials for the timber industry originating from natural forests has declined in the past four years. This is shown by the data in 2015 amounting to 8.3 million m3, while in 2018 it was 5.7 million m3. Private forests can contribute to fill the portion of the forestry industry. The supply of raw materials from private forests has increased from 4.8 million m3 in 2015 and has increased to 6.2 million m3 in 2018 [3]. Private forests can be managed in a sustainable, and generate economic, environmental, and social benefits for the community
