Efektivitas Teknik Penebangan Konvensional dan Tali Gantung di Hutan Rakyat Wonosobo, Jawa Tengah

Abstract

Hutan rakyat berdiri sebagai tulang punggung ekonomi petani hutan dan menjadi pemasok bahan baku industri pengolahan kayu. Kualitas kayu yang dihasilkan bergantung kepada teknik penebangan yang diterapkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas teknik penebangan konvensional dan tali gantung di hutan rakyat Wonosobo, Jawa Tengah. Penelitian ini dilakukan di empat lokasi petak tebang hutan rakyat. Efektivitas teknik penebangan hutan rakyat diukur melalui indikator kesalahan arah rebah, pohon menyangkut, unusan, serta pohon menyangkut dan unusan. Data hasil penelitian diolah kemudian dilakukan analisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ditemukan adanya kesalahan arah rebah pohon dari penggunaan kedua teknik tebang. Teknik penebangan tali gantung lebih efektif dibandingkan teknik penebangan konvensional.

Private forests serve as the backbone of forest farmers' economies and as a supplier of raw materials for the wood processing industry. The quality of the harvested timber depends on the felling techniques used. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of conventional felling technique and hanging rope in the Wonosobo Private Forest, Central Java. The research was conducted in four logging plot locations within the private forest. The effectiveness of the felling techniques was measured using indicators such as felling error, hang up, barber chair, and hang up with barber chair. The collected data were processed and analyzed descriptively. The results of the study showed that there was no felling error from the use of both felling techniques. The hanging rope felling technique is more effective than conventional felling technique.
