Abstract
Agroforestry-based private forests (HR) play an important role in supporting rural economies and providing ecosystem services. However, in Leuwiliang Subdistrict, Bogor Regency, HR management faces challenges such as land-use conversion, limited cultivation technology, and weak institutional support, which threaten its sustainability. This study aimed to assess the sustainability status of agroforestry-based private forests using a multidimensional approach covering ecological, economic, socio-cultural, institutional, and accessibility-technology dimensions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 49 purposively selected farmers and stakeholders and analyzed using the MDS-Rapfish method. The results show that the overall sustainability status is categorized as less sustainable (index 44.31). The ecological dimension has the highest score, while the economic dimension has the lowest. Sensitive attributes include felling intensity, community welfare level, and forestry extension programs. These findings indicate that improving economic performance, strengthening institutional support, and enhancing extension services are essential to achieve sustainable agroforestry management. The study provides policy directions for improving private forest sustainability in rural areas.
