- Untuk mengurangi gangguan masyarakat terhadap hutan, maka perlu pelibatan masyarakat dalam pengelolaannya. Sikap dan perilaku masyarakat terhadap hutan perlu digali dan dirumuskan untuk mendukung pengelolaan hutan. Penelitian dilakukan di Hutan Penelitian (HP) Parung Panjang, bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara faktor karakteristik internal dan eksternal dengan sikap dan perilaku masyarakat sekitar hutan, dan upaya mewujudkan pengelolaan HP Parung Panjang yang partisipatif. Data karakteristik internal dan eksternal dianalisis menggunakan distribusi frekuensi nilai tengah. Untuk mendeskripsikan sikap dan perilaku responden digunakan skala berjenjang dari Likert. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pendapatan dan tingkat interaksi dengan hutan mempunyai hubungan yang nyata dengan sikap dan perilaku masyarakat sekitar hutan. Sikap dan perilaku masyarakat terhadap HP Parung Panjang positif, artinya masyarakat mendukung keberadaan hutan dan pengelolaannya. Kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat sekitar hutan tergolong rendah, perlu adanya upaya pengelolaan hutan penelitian yang partisipatif sehingga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat sekitar dengan tidak merusak hutan.
