Abstract

Wan Abdul Rachman Forest Park (WARFP) serves various benefits to Lampung Region such as: water, food, cash crops, energy, and ecosystem services. Since WARFP is located nearby a city, it is under constant pressure from human. This study intends to identify how community is de- pendent on WARFP in terms of food, economy, water, and energy, especially fuelwood. The study involves 61 forest farmer members of Regional Technical Implementing Unit (RTIU) of WARFP. The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative descriptive techniques and quantitative analysis. Five components were used to assess the level of dependence, namely: 1) use of forest resources such as water, fuelwood, medicinal plants, and food, 2) economy, 3) environment, 4) access and rights to the forest, 5) participation. The study suggests that forest farmers were highly dependent on WARFP in terms of water, food sources, fuelwood energy, economy, and protection of forest from natural hazards such as flooding and forest fire. The com- munity also enjoy the rights to cultivate forest land under partnership. However, participation from forest farmers are still limited and therefore necessary to be improved.
