The community's decision to participate or not in an activity is influenced by subjective factors such as the community's own perception of the activity (Ngakan, 2006). The importance of community perceptions about the purpose and benefits of community forestry as a system in forestry to be managed properly and correctly so as to achieve goals in preserving and prospering the community (Heryatna et al., 2015). The Baolangu Village Community Forest Utilization Business Permit was granted to the Belek Lerek Forest Farmer Group Association consisting of 5 forest farmer groups covering an area of + 150 Ha in the Protected Forest area in Baolangu Village. Of the 5 forest farmer groups formed, 1 forest farmer group remains active but in general the community continues to manage their Community Forest land. The purpose of this study was to determine the positive perceptions of the community about Community Forests that influence community participation in Community Forest management. The technique of taking respondents in this study used the census method, namely taking one population group as a whole sample and using a structured questionnaire as a data collection tool with a total of 77 respondents. The measurement scale used is the Likert scale model. The results showed that community participation of the Belek Lerek Forest Farmer Group Association in the implementation stage of the Community Forest was high (58.77%), and the utilization stage was high (61.29%), because the community managed their respective Community Forest areas by planting plantation crops, food and horticulture, the results of which were not only for consumption but also for sale. This is influenced by the community's positive perception of the Baolangu Village Community Forest, where the IUPHKm provides certainty of access rights to the community to participate in managing the forest area, the existence of the Community Forest can increase household income and community empowerment carried out by related institutions such as KPH Lembata is running well.

Merbau (Intsia bijuga (Colebr) O. Kuntze) is a tree species that naturally grows in various soil types, including moist, dry, and rocky soils, and is endemic to Indonesia. One of the main challenges in the generative propagation of Merbau is slow germination caused by its hard seed coat, due to the seed’s dormancy traits. Therefore, a pre-treatment is needed to break the dormancy, such as applying plant growth regulators (PGRs) through seed soaking. This study aimed to determine the effect of cow urine concentration and soaking duration on breaking seed dormancy in Merbau. A factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used with two factors: concentration (control/distilled water, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% cow urine) and soaking duration (24, 36, and 48 hours). The results showed that the single treatment of 75% concentration (A3) and 48-hour soaking duration (D3) were the most effective in breaking seed dormancy. However, D3 was not significantly different from D2 (36 hours) in terms of germination rate and germination value. The interaction between concentration and soaking duration had no significant effect on germination speed index, germination rate, or germination value of Merbau seeds.
