Abstract (English): This paper examines the implementation of Social Forestry programs in the Upstream Citarum - West Java, Indonesia. The paper utilizes the data set of the Farm Household Survey undertaken in the Bandung and West Bandung districts. A critical review was carried out on farmers who participated or did not participate in the forest management program by examining variables such as: access to land, ratio of farm incomes, conservation practices, and perceptions toward the program. Data were collected from individual interviews of 499 farm-households within two districts. Using descriptive statistical analysis, the results show that social forestry programs have provided economic, social, and environmental benefits for farmers in the area. The programs have improved community and farmers's access to forestry land and increased household's incomes from the farm sector. Strengthening and empowering farmers, supported by government and other stakeholders are key for sustainability of the program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo estudia la aplicación de programas de silvicultura social en la cuenca aguas arriba de Citarum en Java Occidental (Indonesia). El artículo utiliza el conjunto de datos de la Encuesta de Hogares Agrícolas realizada en los distritos de Bandung y Bandung Occidental. Se llevó a cabo una revisión crítica de los agricultores que participaron o no en el programa de gestión forestal examinando variables como: acceso a la tierra, proporción de ingresos de la explotación, prácticas de conservación y percepciones sobre el programa. Los datos se recopilaron a partir de entrevistas individuales a 499 hogares agrícolas de dos distritos. Los resultados se obtuvieron a partir de un análisis estadístico descriptivo y muestran que los programas de silvicultura social han proporcionado beneficios económicos, sociales y medioambientales a los agricultores de la zona. Los programas han mejorado el acceso de las comunidades y los agricultores a las tierras de cultivo y han aumentado los ingresos de los hogares procedentes del sector agrícola. Se concluye que fortalecer y capacitar a los agricultores, con el apoyo del gobierno y otras partes interesadas, es clave para la sostenibilidad del programa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (French): Ce papier examine la mise en pratique des programmes de foresterie sociale en amont du Citarum, Java Ouest, Indonésie. Il utilise l'ensemble des données de l'enquête chez les ménages fermiers menée dans les districts de Bandung et de Bandung Ouest. Un examen critique a été poursuivi auprès des fermiers ayant, ou n'ayant pas participé dans le programme de gestion forestière, en examinant des variables telles que: l'accès à la terre, le pourcentage de revenus des fermes, les pratiques de conservation, et les perceptions du programme. Des donnés ont été recueillies lors d'interviews individuelles auprès de 499 ménages fermiers, dans deux districts. Utilisant une analyse sociale descriptive, les résultats indiquent que les programmes de foresterie sociale ont fourni des bénéfices économiques, sociaux et environnementaux aux fermiers de la région. Ces programmes ont amélioré l'accès des fermiers et de la communauté aux terres agricoles, et ils ont vu croître les revenus des ménages dans le secteur fermier. Soutenir les fermiers et les fortifier, avec l'aide du gouvernement et d;autres parties prenantes, est clé pour la durabilité du programme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
