Abstract

This study explores the diversity of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in the Forest Zone with Special Purpose (KHDTK) of Getas-Ngandong, East Java, Indonesia, with the aim of optimizing resource allocation, livelihood diversification, and biodiversity conservation in its planning and management. By conducting a six-month (May–October 2018) biophysical survey through direct observation, coupled with structured social surveys and interviews with key informants in adjacent community-managed forest area. We identified a wide range of NTFPs that are critical for sustainable forest management. Understanding the diversity and distribution of NTFPs is necessary to inform strategic interventions that enhance forest sustainability while supporting the economic resilience of surrounding communities. The findings reveal a rich variety of NTFPs within the region, with agricultural and food crops such as corn, sugarcane, rice, and cassava prevalent inside forest areas, while fruits like mangoes and bananas dominate the surrounding non-forest areas. These insights can serve as valuable inputs, such as integrating fruit tree cultivation into agroforestry zones to enhance income stability, for developing a KHDTK management plan that diversifies income sources, supports local livelihoods, and promotes sustainable forest management practices by balancing economic, ecological, and social benefits.   Keywords: Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs); Sustainable Forest Management; KHDTK Getas-Ngandong.

Abstract

The forestry industry outside Java continues to rely on chainsaw-based logging in natural forests, a technique that involves significant safety risks due to the size of harvested trees, machine hazards, and challenging environmental conditions. These risks highlight the need for skilled operators and effective Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) systems. This study was conducted at two Indonesian State Forest Concessions in East Kalimantan and examined OSH implementation among chainsaw operators. Data were collected through questionnaires with both qualitative and quantitative components, field observations, interviews, and analysis of company documents, including work plans and safety procedures. The results showed that operator awareness of OSH was very high (85.94%), and support and guidance from managers and foremen also strongly influenced compliance (75.97% and 76.81%, respectively). However, barriers remained (49.46%), particularly in the form of incomplete Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), operator discomfort when using certain PPE, and the absence of structured training. These shortcomings indicate a gap between policy and practice. Addressing these issues requires companies not only to provide complete and comfortable PPE but also to enhance training and actively enforce safety protocols. Strengthening these measures would improve both worker safety and the overall sustainability of forest operations.
