SOCIO-ENTROPY SYSTEM APPROACH FOR ANALYZING OF SOCIAL FORESTRY MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: Socio-entropy system
approach (SESA) as used as a comprehensive tool to identify any kind of social
shortcoming that might have constrained achievement of government policy on
social-forestry. The study objectives were to observe all critical factors on
the program implementation of social forestry and to analyze any intervening
variables relevant to socio-psychological, socio-ecological, socio-economic,
and socio-cultural shortcomings (being called here as socio-entropies) that
would have been most crucial to the required policy modification. Samples were
taken by purposive sampling and intensively interviewed using questionnaire.
Data was analysed using structural equation modeling. The study found out that
the socio-psychological entropy which apparently needs to comprehend basically
relates to 3-intervening variables of self-esteem, individual compassion, and
non-formal education. Likewise from the
socio-ecological stand point, what need to be controled better were the spirit
of owning more land plots, and the geo-morphological position of owned land
plots. Meanwhile socio-economic entropy seemed to appear as consequences of
people efforts in gaining more income due to hedonistic temptation and lack of
knowledge about the type of environmentally sound livelihoods. Finally, the
crucial factors of socio-cultural entropy were the faded away adat-law,
weakening social norms, and absence of
inter-ethnic but more closed, and traditional networking.
