1991
Mamaril, R.J.
Based on the findings of the study; Nazuni ISF [Integrated Social Forestry] Project (P2) performed best among the three projects based on the four indicators of performance. The factors which significantly affected the extent of participation were income, education, age, sex, and occupation. Landsize and household size were not significantly related to the extent of participation. Survival of agroforestry crops was significantly affected by the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil. Rainfall variation partly explains variation in survival percentages. Species richness had no significant effect on survival of agroforestry crops. The factors found to have significant effect on CDA's [community development assistance] extent of participation and assistance were knowledge of the program, skills in program implementation and motivation. The increase in income of the respondents was found to be greatest in the Tiolas ISF project (P2). However, this was not brought about by the increased in income from the CSC [Certificate of Stewardship Contract] farm and by other livelihood activities of the project. Only the Nazuni ISF Project (P2) showed that the increase in income was brought about by the increase in income from the CSC farm. Ecological sustainability indicated by extent of SWC showed that P2 was more ecologically sustainable than P1 and P3. Regarding the impact on productivity, there was an increase in terms of income from agroforestry farms and P2 had the highest increase. Based on Gini ratios, equity in income distribution was found to have improved in all sites.
