Abstract

Forest conversion activities into non forestry purposes impacts on decreasing of forest
function as a main role sustainable development, especially as water regulators and as carbon  storage. Therefore, deforestation not only causes a direct loss of forest habitat but also leads  to indirect impacts as ecosystem services deteriorate or fail. Forests provide ecosystem  services that include the regulation of weather and climate at local, regional and even global  levels. Existence of protected forest Pinang Luar ± 3.228 acres take an important part and  people living in the area has a high dependency on the forest. Farming activities become a  treat to the forest and their indications show that cropland and palm estate already in the  forest area. Land cover changes in protected forest Pinang luar at 2003 "“ 2012 impacts on  villages at ring 1 area hierarchy decrease cause by population growth are not followed by the  additional of infrastructures in economy, health and education. It is also caused by land
conversion that occurred in the protected forest Pinang Luar. In the period 2003 - 2012, the  villages directly affected (ring 1) have a level area hierarchy is much worse compared to  villages that are not directly affected (Ring 2). And it affected to the development of the  villages in the ring 2 which is better than the village at ring 1. These conditions happen  because at the village in ring 1 change only on land not on the impact on the level of  development that could affect the region hierarchy. This is in contrast with the ring 2 villages  where the changes occur not only on land but also on its impact on the development so as to  enhance the region hierarchy in ring 2 villages.
