Changes  in  the  social  environment  trigger  the  socio-cultural  transformation  of communities around the forest, related to managing forest natural resources and changing their lifestyles.  Social  transformation  is  accelerated  by  the  development  of  informationtechnology involving  the  population,  technology,  cultural  values,  and  social  movements.  This  study  is exploring the answers: firstly, how is the idea of the future welfare of communities around the forest;  second,  how  the  readiness  of  communities  to  transform  socially  has  an  impact  on  the sustainability of forest management, as well as on the welfare of communities; third, how to ideal alternative efforts to achieve the SDGs in communities around the forest. The study method is a qualitative study supported by quantitative analysis. Data collection uses cybernetic techniques, triangulation between participatory action research,  observations, FGDs,  and interviews of key persons.  The  study  results  show  that  self-social  engineering  based  on  creative  social  energy optimizes the management of community capital. The readiness of the community to transform socially  towards  the  sustainability  of  forest  management  turns  out  to  be  the  independence  of farmers. The ideal alternative to social transformation efforts thatimpact the SDGs’ achievement is a dialogue and participatory approach.

Keywords : independence; participatory approach; social forestry.
