Abstract :
Porang is a plant (Amorphophallus oncophyllus Prain) that produces
carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber. This study aims
to analyze the sustainability of porang agroforestry at LMDH Kemuning Asri. The
methodology used is Rap-LMDH through the Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS)
method to analyze sustainability with 31 attributes from 5 dimensions (ecological
dimensions, economic dimensions, social dimensions, technological dimensions,
and institutional dimensions). The results of the analysis of the sustainability index
for the five dimensions are 70.39 (ecology); 53.79 (economy); 58.51 (social); 39.62
(technology); 55.03 (institutional). Factors that affect sustainability in the
ecological dimension are the level of shade density and soil fertility, the economic
dimension is price stability and arable land area, the social dimension is the age of
farmers and community conflicts, the technological dimension is the availability of
appropriate technology and standardization of forestry products, the institutional
dimension is cooperation with surrounding areas and diversification institutions
for porang tubers (chips).
