Tingkat Ketergantungan dan Faktor Sosial Ekonomi Masyarakat terhadap Hutan Desa Bantarkaret, Kabupaten Bogor

Abstract

Hutan Desa Bantarkaret berpotensi mendukung penghidupan masyarakat, tetapi kinerja pengelolaan dan tingkat ketergantungan pendapatan rumah tangga belum diketahui secara memadai. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kinerja pengelolaan, tingkat ketergantungan pendapatan, dan faktor sosial ekonomi yang berhubungan dengan ketergantungan tersebut. Data diperoleh melalui observasi dan wawancara terhadap 40 responden, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan fungsi manajemen, analisis pendapatan, relative forest income (RFI), dan regresi linear berganda. Kinerja pengelolaan memperoleh capaian rata-rata 76% dan tergolong sedang, dengan capaian planning 82%, organizing 77%, actuating 70%, dan controlling 76%. Rata-rata RFI sebesar 9,3% menunjukkan bahwa pendapatan hutan desa masih menjadi sumber tambahan, tetapi memiliki arti relatif lebih besar bagi rumah tangga berpendapatan rendah. RFI berhubungan positif dengan curahan tenaga kerja dan jumlah tanggungan keluarga, berhubungan negatif dengan pendapatan di luar hutan desa, serta tidak berhubungan nyata dengan luas lahan kelola. Penguatan kelembagaan, kapasitas teknis, permodalan, dan usaha berbasis hutan diperlukan untuk meningkatkan manfaat ekonomi secara berkelanjutan.

Bantarkaret Village Forest has the potential to support local livelihoods, yet its management performance and household income dependence remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to assess management performance, measure household dependence on village-forest income, and identify associated socioeconomic factors. Data were collected through field observations and interviews with 40 respondents and analyzed using management-function assessment, income analysis, relative forest income (RFI), and multiple linear regression. Management performance averaged 76% and was classified as moderate, with scores of 82% for planning, 77% for organizing, 70% for actuating, and 76% for controlling. The mean RFI was 9.3%, indicating that village-forest income remained supplementary but was relatively more important to lower-income households. RFI was positively associated with labor allocation and the number of family dependents, negatively associated with income earned outside the village forest, and not significantly associated with managed land area. Stronger institutions, technical capacity, access to capital, and forest-based enterprises are needed to increase sustainable economic benefits.
