Abstract

The main problem is how natural resource management, especially forests, can improve community welfare without compromising environmental sustainability. This study aims to analyze the role of natural resource capital in supporting sustainable livelihoods in the social forest area of Enrekang Regency and evaluate the social and economic impacts of the social forestry program implemented in the area. The research method used is a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with communities and relevant stakeholders and analysis of relevant secondary data. The research findings show that the social forestry program provides positive impacts through increased income, food security, and employment opportunities for the community. However, there are still challenges in the form of a lack of technical knowledge and dependence on illegal logging practices. This research makes a new contribution by exploring the potential for collaboration between the government, communities, and non-governmental organizations in sustainable social forest management. In conclusion, the success of social forest management is highly dependent on strengthening community capacity and implementing environmentally friendly forestry practices. The policy implication of this finding is the importance of government support in providing technical training and supervision of social forestry programs. The recommendation for future research is to conduct further studies on the long-term impact of the agroforestry program in improving economic and environmental sustainability in social forest areas.

Abstract

The Social Forestry Program is a community participation-based initiative for sustainable forest management, aimed at reducing poverty, protecting the environment, and improving farmers' welfare. This study aims to analyze the program's socio-economic impacts on farmer households in Enrekang District, South Sulawesi, focusing on 12 villages in 10 sub-districts. Mixed methods (quantitative and quantitative) were used through surveys, interviews, and observations of 372 respondents, including farmers, community leaders, and government representatives. Results show that participation in Social Forestry contributes to increased income, especially through superior commodities such as shallots and brown rice, as well as economic diversification such as dairy farming (dangke). However, challenges such as gender inequality (male dominant: 87.4%), limited market access, and climate change impacts still hinder the optimization of the program. Respondents' characteristics are dominated by productive age (40-61 years: 63.9%) with secondary education (SMA: 31.5%), while the average family size is 3-4 people (45.4%). The study highlights the importance of locally-based approaches, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and inclusive policies to strengthen program sustainability. The findings recommend strengthening farmers' capacity through training, increasing access to capital, and policy synergy to support sustainable livelihoods while maintaining forest ecosystems.

Abstract

Farmers who own small-scale land are vulnerable to being threatened by climate change, because they do not have enough resources to cope with it. To minimize the negative impacts of climate change, farmers must implement adaptation strategies. This study aims to analyze the adaptation strategies applied by smallholder rice farmers in Polewali Mandar Regency. This research was conducted in Bunga-Bunga Village, Matakali District, Polewali Mandar Regency. Sample determination was carried out using the Slovin approach with a total of 30 respondents who owned small-scale rice farmers. The analysis method used is a qualitative approach with descriptive research. The results showed that age, education, dependents of the head of the family, length of farming, side jobs, land area, and land status affect the implementation of adaptation strategies to climate change. The adaptation strategies applied by smallholder rice farmers in Bunga-Bunga Village are survival strategies and consolidation strategies.

Abstract

The vulnerability of agrarian communities to shocks, seasonality, and long-term trends is a complex challenge that requires holistic analysis. This study aims to analyze the dynamic interaction between the three dimensions of vulnerability (shock-seasonality-trend) in agrarian communities in disaster-prone areas, using a holistic approach that fills the gap in previous literature, which tends to be partial. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews (25 key informants), focus group discussions (4 sessions), and secondary document analysis. The findings reveal that: (1) Shocks such as natural disasters and disease outbreaks weaken economic resilience due to infrastructure damage and health costs; (2) Seasonal pressures (pest attacks, price fluctuations) increase income instability, exacerbated by dependence on monoculture and limited market access; (3) Long-term trends (droughts, climate change) threaten agricultural sustainability through extreme weather and declining land productivity. Community adaptation strategies include crop diversification, the formation of savings and loan groups, and the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, but these are hampered by a lack of institutional and technological support. This study highlights the need for integrated policies that combine ecosystem-based mitigation, strengthening early warning systems, and climate resilience training programs. The study's implications contribute to the literature on multidimensional vulnerability and provide practical recommendations for achieving sustainable community resilience.
