Welfare is a very
important aspect in the life of society. The development of the welfare
population is one indicator that can be used to determine the level of success
achieved by the development of an area at a certain period. But the fact that
welfare is not desirable because there are still many people who are on the
poverty line. Welfare is not evenly distributed; especially in communities in
the area around the forest is what lies behind the implementation of Forest
Village Women's Group program. The purpose of this program is implemented to
increase the potency and welfare of the people that are around the forest. As
the implementation of this program are many adverse impacts on the community.
So this discussion is very important to identify more deeply in order to achieve
the desired level of social welfare.
