The results showed that the perceptions of CLC Kasepuhan Karang and Cisungsang on customary forest management in terms of social, economic, and ecological aspects were generally positive, and that the condition of the Kasepuhan Karang forest is better. It was found that the ranges from social aspects are 45%-95%, economic aspects are 39%-100%, and ecological aspects are75%-100%. They depend on the forest as a source of life, medicines, and handicraft materials.
