Abstract

The general objective of the study is to analyze the existing conditions in Community Forestry Program area in Penablanca, Cagayan with cooperative as a conduct to forest protection and management.The study revealed that majority of the respondents gave a rating of average to high on the provision of cooperative. In general, the respondents have favorable perception/attitudes as to the degree of support of their cooperative in related cooperative activities/CFP implementation activities.There is a weak agreement in the rankings on the priorities of their cooperative with regards to cooperative factors/functions. This indicates that they have different expectations as to what their cooperative should prioritize and the general direction of the cooperative. Significant relationships were observed between the organizational characteristics and cooperative factors/functions. These were : sex vs. socio-economic functions; sex vs. socio-political functions; position in the cooperative vs. socio-economic functions; position in the cooperative vs. value formation/orientation functions; and household size vs. value formation/orientation functions.Four important areas of concerns were identified to effectively implement CFP in the area. These are the resources, organization/organizational factors/functions, cooperative environment and the relationship existing among the components and environment of the cooperative.
