ABSTRACT

Forest quality is essential to be comprehended 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 the level of 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 Sustainable Community Forest System Group (SHK) located at Teluk Pandan District, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province. This study aims to identify internal and external factors related to the conservation forests' health managed by SHK Lestari. This research 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 type diversity index (H'), the vitality indicators, in which the parameter is tree damage (Cluster-plot Level Index - CLI) and visual crown ratio (VCR), as well as tread quality index, in which parameter is soil pH value. External factors that affect forest health levels are farmers' level of knowledge (FKL), farmers' motivation (FMo), and farmers' participation (FP).
