Communities that live close to forests heavily rely on the resources found there. In the KPH Banyumas setting of Central Java, the research aims to determine the likelihood of choosing to work in the forest for income and characterize the elements that impact the decision to work for forest farming and forest village agricultural farmers. The study’s findings suggest that, in the forest community, the choice of employment is influenced by the physical ability variable, but not by the risk or reward factors. The factors that impact the household income of Banyumas forest village farmers include age, labor hours, and the amount of land farmed. The number of dependents, education level, own land size, and non-forest family income factors all affect how dependent Banyumas forest village farmers are on forest resources. According to this research, it is also evident that the practice of purchasing and selling land leases that do not adhere to the regulations regarding the management period of forest areas for agricultural farmers’ businesses has prevented the forest village community institution from serving as an ideal institution for village farmers.
