Abstract
Simalungun Regency is an agricultural area and the main occupation of the community is agriculture. To support development in agriculture, especially in the field of community forestry, it is very necessary to be accompanied by extension workers. Forestry extension workers provide guidance and assist farmers either in the form of demonstrations or examples of work in farming to solve all the problems faced. The existence of community forestry extension workers in Simalungun Regency, the socio-economic life and knowledge of the community have changed for the better. Seeing the difficult challenges that will be faced by extension workers, it is necessary to have an accurate method in delivering the material so that farmers are willing to adopt the material from the extension worker. The data analysis technique using Process Hierarchy Analysis (AHP) is to solve problems by breaking down into groups then arranged into a form of hierarchy with a decision support system for selecting a health counseling method by determining the top priority of several criteria and existing alternatives to make decisions in the selection of counseling method planning. The weight of the value of each alternative based on the evaluation of the weighting that has been carried out with a higher weight indicates its level of importance. So the alternative development of the independence of farmer groups selected as a sustainable forestry development strategy is in accordance with the planning of forestry extension methods
