Abstract

Forest and land rehabilitation is an effort made to restore the function of the forest as a life support to its original form. Forest rehabilitation will not be successful without the active role of the surrounding community to support the smooth running and success of the activity. For this reason, this study was aimed to observe and look at the role of indigenous peoples and socio-economic factors in supporting forest and land rehabilitation. The data taken were in the form of involved Soa and demographic data for the village of North Buano, where the data were obtained from interviews with farmer groups and from the village government. According to the results of data collection, it was found that the level of community participation was quite high where there were five Soa involved in forest and land rehabilitation, namely Nunu Huhuni (Soa Rulette), Nuru Naiini (Soa Naiini), Nuru Eti (Soa Eti), Nuru Na'ani (Soa Na'ani), Nuru Ola'a (Soa Ola'a). Soa was part of the customary government consisting of one or several genera. As for the distribution of tasks, each Soa got assignments in a week, one working day and one day off in mutual cooperation which involves all the Soa’s. According to the demography of the village of North Buano, it was known that 25 people work as PNS/TNI/Polri, 161 farmers, 19 traders, and 211 fishermen, all of whom were represented in farmer groups.
