Abstract

Magelang Regency is one of the regencies in Central Java Province that has forests as much as 32% of its area. The forest area continues to drop along with the many threats to the existence of the forest. Deforestation, critical land and forest fire are a widespread environmental problem in protected areas and cultivation. This will have an impact on the environmental quality that is essential for sustainable living. To minimize the impact, community awareness efforts need to be conducted through extension activities. Therefore, the existence of forestry extension as the forming actors of the environment-caring community becomes very important. The current competence and placement of forestry extension is not ideal compared to environmental issues and community needs. Utilization of Geographic Information System (GIS) through priority distribution modeling can help overcome this.
