Community forest management has been recognized over the past two decades as a potential approach for achieving forest sustainability. In Indonesia, community forestry was developed by a government program with limited funds. Community forestry in Nusapati village was one of many successful community forest programs.

The survey method was used in this research. Data collection was undertaken through general field observation, key informant interviews, and semi-structured respondent interviews with a questionnaire.
