Abstract

Abstract The success of forestry development is largely determined by the extent to which the level of community participation in contributing to forest management efforts and the quality of human resources that support it. The process of community empowerment is basically an effort how the community can recognize and reflect its own problems, potential itself and the environment and motivate in developing that potential proportionally in participatory ways or methods. Social capital is the ability of the community to relate to one another and become a very important force for the economic life of the community as well as other aspects of social existence. The characteristics of social capital become one of the indicators that will determine the sustainability of Social Forestry management. The low level of one of the categories of social capital will result in decreased support for activities carried out in the Social Forestry program.
