Abstract
Girimanik Forest in Setren Village, Wonogiri Regency, Central Java, is one of the forests that has high biodiversity. The purpose of this study is to explore the utilization of trees species that grow in this area. The methods used in this study are descriptive approaches to analyze qualitative data on the use of trees by local communities. The identified utilization includes the use of wood, leaves, fruit, and other parts such as roots and bark. Each utilization type is classified into functional categories, such as construction, medicine, food, and cultural or spiritual purposes. The study’s findings reveal that the two tree species, Trema orientalis and Elaeocarpus ganitrus, each possess five distinct forms of use. The predominant usage is the construction of houses, including 21 species, while the second most prevalent application is in crafts, utilizing 12 species. For alternative uses, specifically as furniture and for magical purposes, there are 9 species, whereas 8 tree species are utilized for traditional ceremonies, with a utilization ratio of 75%. These findings highlight the integral role of forest biodiversity in supporting the cultural, economic, and spiritual practices of the Setren community. Preserving ethnobotanical knowledge is essential for sustainable forest management and cultural heritage conservation.
