The community controls, manages and utilizes forest (natural) resources to fulfill their needs for a long time and has been passed down from generation to generation until now. In Indonesia, mastery of forest resources (SDH) is evidenced by the existence of various concepts and practices of managing forest resources by the community such as: repong (West Lampung), huma or talun (Java), leuweung (West Java), pangale (Central Sulawesi), simpukqn (East Kalimantan), tembawang (West Kalimantan), plot danum (Central Kalimantan), empus (Aceh), and so on according to local culture. K.P.SHK (Consortium for Supporting Community Forest Systems) mentions that the various concepts and practices of managing SDH are referred to by the general term “Community Forest System or SHK” (Rahmina, 2012; Djauhari et al, 2021).
