The results show that the management and utilization of forest resources are still thick with local wisdom, such as traditions and rituals. Social and economic character-istics are closely related to geographical conditions. Irrigated agriculture is the dominant activity in the agricultural sector. The use of agricultural land is very suitable for the suita-bility of the ground there. The embededdness between LMDH and the people of Tambak Hamlet, Berjo Village, is at the level of the programs established by LMDH following the characteristics of natural processing and daily community activities.
