ABSTRACT

Forest quality is essential to comprehend, as a healthy forest would provide various benefits. The quality of forests may be found through the measurement of forest health. Internal and external factors could be measured to determine forest health. Internal factors are factors related to the biophysical state of the forest ecosystem, whereas external factors are related to the manager' s state. Forest health could be identified in forests managed by communities, such as forest areas managed by the Community Forest System (SHK) Group Lestari located in Teluk Pandan District, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province. This study aims to identify internal and external factors related to forest health managed by the SHK Group Lestari. This study utilized the multiple linear analysis method. The results indicated internal factors that improved the forest health levels are biodiversity indicators, in which the parameter is tree species diversity index (H'), vitality indicators, in which the parameter is tree damage (CLI), and site quality indicators, in which the parameter is soil pH. External factors that affect forest health levels are farmers' knowledge level (FKL), farmers' participation (FP), and farmers' motivation (FM).
