Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Forests play a pivotal role in environmental conservation, necessitating effective management strategies to ensure sustainability.This research aims to evaluate the potential implementation of forest endowments (waqf) through a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis.The study employs two methodologies: a comprehensive SWOT analysis to examine internal and external factors and the Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) and External Factor Evaluation (EFE) methods within the SWOT matrix framework.Data were gathered via questionnaires distributed to representatives of environmental care communities.The findings indicate that internal factors, particularly potential strengths, support the implementation of waqf forests.Internal and external factors contribute to these strengths, enhancing the potential for successful implementation.Weaknesses can be mitigated by leveraging existing strengths.External factors are categorized into opportunities, which can promote the development of waqf forest strategies, and threats, which necessitate strategic interventions.The analysis reveals that the strength factor scores higher overall than the weakness factor, suggesting a promising outlook for successful implementation.These research findings contribute to a deeper understanding of waqf forest implementation by thoroughly analyzing the relevant internal and external factors.The identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats provide valuable guidance for stakeholders aiming to optimize the use of waqf forests for environmental conservation and sustainable management.
