Note that we conduct a logit regression for each of the three
participation levels to clarify the differences and similarities of
participation responses to key determinants across the categories.
This is because participation process in the PHBM program at KPH
Kendal is sequential from nominal to active and from active to
managerial participation based on our experiences, observations
and interviews with Perum Perhutani and local people.6 For
example, it never happens that somebody suddenly becomes
managerial in the PHBM program without being active. The same
logic applies to the active participation as well. Due to this
sequential nature of three participation levels, we do not apply a
multinomial logit regression. Rather, we choose a step-wise logit
regression to reveal possible differences in the responses to key
determinants in each category of participation.
