This study was implementation of (ISFP) in the year 1998. conducted to the determine the degree Integrated Social Forestry two model sites Specifically. of Program in Nueva Vizcaya during the study attempted to the (1) determine the characteristics of the program participants in terms of economic, psycho-social, demographic, and government intervention-related variables; (2) evaluate the participants degree of implementation of the ISFP; and (3) determine if there is a significant relationship between the degree of implementation of participants and the ISFP by the program variables aforementioned the considered individually and collectively.
The respondents of the study were 122 upland farmers who recipients of Certificates of Stewardship Contract were (CSC).
The mean age of the respondents was 43 years, majority of them were attainment was Igorots and Ifugaos. elementary graduate or Their educational lower. More than three-fourths of the respondents live within the ISF area.
Of the 122 respondents, majority had positive perception about the ISFP; majority of them had high acceptability of the tenurial arrangement of the project which is stewardship of their ISF lot for 25 years and renewable for another 25 years; and most of them had moderate to high participation in the ISF association.
The size of ISF farm awarded ranged from 0.37-7.0 ha with more than three-fourths cultivating 4.80 ha or less. Most depended solely on income from upland farming and market their produce either by wholesale or a combination of wholesale and retail.
Majority of the respondents claimed that the number of trainings provided by the government through the DENR and allied agencies were adequate. Majority of them also considered the farm inputs provided by the DENR as adequate. More than one-half took advantage of the credit facilities provided by cooperatives or association. The monitoring and evaluation of the ISFP were regarded by the participants as very effective.
Majority of the ISFP participants considered their implementation of the upland productivity and socio-economic component of the program implemented with a mean rating of 2.67 and 2.60, respectively. ecological stability component They considered, however the as moderately implemented with mean rating participant-respondents of regarded 2.04. the implemented with a mean rating of 2.54.

The combined demographic, psycho-social, economic, and government intervention-related variables were found to have significant relationship with the overall implementation of the ISFP as well as in the implementation of each various components. Age and ethnic origin had negative or indirect influence on the implementation of the upland productivity and socio-economic improvement components of well as in its overall implementation. the ISFP as As regards the overall implementation of ISFP, the other variables with negative impacts perception were about the acceptability of land tenure, size of ISF farm, source income, and availability of farm inputs.

Based on the foregoing findings. it is concluded that most of the participants are either Igorots or Ifugaos. residing within the ISF area, relatively young with mean age of about 43 years and have low educational attainment. Majority have positive perception about the ISFP, accepts the land tenure arrangement and had high participation the ISF association. Majority had landholdings, derived their income solely on in average-sized upland farming and disposed of their produce by wholesale and retail. Majority considered the number of trainings and availability of farm inputs provided by DENR as the adequate. The most preferred source of credit is the cooperative /Majority considered association. the monitoring and evaluation of ISF projects as very effective. the
The upland productivity and socio-economic component of the ISFP are well implemented while the ecological component is moderately effective. implemented. Overall, the ISFP is well
The demographic variables such educational attainment, and as age, place of ethnic origin, residence are significantly related with the implementation of the various component of the ISFP. The psycho-social variables such as perception about the ISF, acceptability of land tenure, and participation in ISF association are significantly related with the implementation of the various component of the ISFP. The economic variables such source of income, related with the as size of ISF farm. and marketing practice are significantly implementation of the upland productivity and socio-economic improvement component of the ISFP. are not, however significantly related with the implementation of ISFP. Only the They overall variable marketing practice is significantly associated with the implementation of the ecological stability component. intervention-related such variables trainings, availability of farm inputs, The government as adequacy source of of credit, and monitoring and evaluation are significantly related with the implementation of the various component of the ISFP. The combination of demographic, psycho-social, economic, and government intervention-related variables are significantly related with the implementation of the various component of the ISFP.
Based on the results and conclusions made, the following recommendations are hereby forwarded: more attention in encouraging The ISFP would give its participants implementing the ecological stability component as implementation of this development of ISF sites. area will redound to in the full sustainable. The awarding of CSC to younger participants must be considered since this will have significant contribution to the implementation of the ISFP. Thesis (Master of Science-Rural Development)
