Studies have also been conducted to evaluate participatory
forestry in Indonesia. Sutopo (2005) analyzes how the community
forest program affects forest sustainability and community welfare
in the Ngawi district by using correlation analysis, indicating that
the program has a significant impact on forest sustainability and a
small impact on community welfare. Applying participatory conservation
planning, participatory mapping, and participatory ruralappraisal as descriptive research methods, Djajanti (2005) also reveals
that the program provides the community with more equitable
access to forest resources particularly in harvesting nontimber
forest products.
