<![CDATA[This research aims to determine community perceptions in forest management based on forest characteristics and forest management models in the Liawan Sub-watershed, Mamasa Watershed. Management and utilization of Indonesia's forest potential must be accompanied by maintaining and restoring previously existing ecosystem functions in order to maintain the preservation of forest ecosystems. Nevertheless. Local communities also act as conservator agents apart from only utilizing the potential of forest resources as well as a component of its management. Until the early 1970s, the local wisdom of very diverse communities still dominated forest management systems throughout Indonesia, especially outside Java. Indigenous communities, which have not had much intervention from exploitative government policies, still manage their customary forests autonomously to ensure the continuity of community life. The local knowledge of the people who live in the Liawan Sub-watershed is very important to know that the people still maintain the proper order of water sources. People living in the Liawan Sub-watershed area are very dependent on forests which contain water sources from Mount Sareong for clean water, agriculture and electricity generation purposes. There are many applications of local community knowledge in forest management around the Liawan watershed that need to be published as teaching materials and additional knowledge.]]>
