Abstract

The research aims to assess the potential of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) and their carrying capacity for supporting the social and economic aspects of the Hukuanakota Village community. The study uses a survey and descriptive method, with interviews conducted via questionnaires. Vegetation analysis reveals Damar as the dominant species in terms of land area, with the highest Importance Value Index  (INP = 117.979%), Lasa wood (INP= 67,699 %), Cempedak (INP =25.950%), Cengkeh (INP = 19.578%), and Durian (INP = 15.134%). NTFPs have proven to provide strong support in economic, social, and cultural aspects for the people of Hukuanakota. However, NTFP management remains traditional. The community faces several challenges, including limited market access, complex marketing permit processes for NTFPs, and the draw of local human resources toward better livelihood opportunities outside the village.

Abstract

The mountain communities of Seram Island, Maluku, are highly dependent on forest resources for their livelihoods. Their daily activities often intersect with protected forest areas, frequently without awareness of the forest’s official conservation status. However, the sustainability of protected forest functions is closely influenced by the community’s interactions and practices. This study aims to analyze the interaction between the mountain community in Rumahtita Hamlet and the protected forest, as well as the challenges that affect ecosystem sustainability. A qualitative approach was applied, employing interviews and field observations to examine socio-cultural and economic dimensions, while vegetation analysis was used to assess ecosystem capacity through the biophysical dimension and its cultural implications. The findings reveal that the Rumahtita community maintains a strong attachment to the protected forest, with the majority (80.95%) perceiving its function primarily as a provider of daily necessities. Agathis dammara emerged as the dominant species (INP = 97.66%) within the protected forest area, symbolizing the ecological and cultural connection between the mountain community and their forest environment. The challenges faced in forest management include limited accessibility, low work ethic and creativity among the productive-age workforce, insufficient knowledge regarding product diversification, weak roles of village-owned enterprises (BUMDes), and limited market access.
