Abstract
Community Forest (CF) in Way Kanan (WK) District aims to improve the welfare of the community around the forest while maintaining the preservation of forest functions. Specifically, the majority of plants in this protected forest are rubber which is main commodity of the WK so that the sustainability of this plant is important. The research carried out at CF area of Jaya Lestari, Mangga Mulyo, and Panca Tunggal, aims to analyze of social economic and ecological variables of CF in managing agroforestry rubber towards to protection forest sustainability. The analysis of the research results uses the quantitative methods and the multiple linear regression analysis as well as carbon analysis through biomass calculations. The results show that the 3 CF groups has a significant effect on the income level. In addition, the variable of the number of plant types, the CF area and private forest area, also cattle ownership are also significantly different. As for the ecological aspect, it is known that there are 5 variables that are significantly different, namely altitude, temperature, humidity, trees diameter, and canopy. The results of the carbon store analysis show that the mean carbon store is 96.45 ton/Ha.
Highlights
Forest resources that can be utilized optimally, fairly and sustainably in order to improve community welfare, while preserving the functions of the forests is the goal of the Community Forest (CF) establishment [1]
The vegetation analysis can be calculated based on plots that according to [38] and the Important Vegetation Index (IVI) formula based on the Ministry of Environment Decree No 201 year 2004 as follows: C
The results of the suitability test show that the X variables have a significant effect on income by using the F test which ca n be seen in Ta ble 2
Summary
Forest resources that can be utilized optimally, fairly and sustainably in order to improve community welfare, while preserving the functions of the forests is the goal of the CF establishment [1]. Way Kanan Regency is one of the districts in Lampung that has CF groups, located in the Bukit Punggur (BP) area FMU with rubber as the main commodity This condition, a community forest with the majority of rubber in a protected forest, is rare and this is the specification for CF in Way Kanan. The production of rubber latex is influenced by ecological conditions, namely slope, altitude, temperature, humidity, trees height, trees diameter, and crown wide Another ecological variable analyzed is carbon produced by rubber CF as data support for the regional government of WK when implementing the Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation program, which is the mainstreaming program of all.
