The motivation for this study is that Indonesia has experienced enormous mangrove deforestation in last three decades. According to empirical studies in Iran, India, Thailand, and Vietnam, livelihood dependence on forests has a negative impact on reducing mangrove forest ecosystems. There are no empirical studies at the village level in Indonesia due to limited data. The author tried to analyze unbalanced panel data by combining geospatial data and PODES. Using FEM to analyze the impact of the location of village areas within the forest area on mangrove forests, it found that villages whose areas are around the forest have a high dependence on natural resources and a negative correlation to the area of mangrove forests. This dependence is good for the economy of rural communities but have a bad impact on the environment. Alternative livelihoods are needed to reduce villagers' dependence on mangrove forests. The Government of Indonesia needs to encourage mangrove rehabilitation to become an ecotourism center to increase the income of people around mangrove forests.

The motivation for this study comes from the fact that Indonesia has experienced enormous mangrove deforestation in the last three decades. This study uses village level data in Indonesia. With a combination of geospatial data and PODES, the author uses the unbalanced panel data and Fixed Effects Model (FEM) to analyze the correlation of 9-year basic education facilities and higher education as well as national private TV broadcasts and overseas TV broadcasts on the area of mangrove forests. The author found that villages that have higher education facilities and get overseas TV broadcasts have a positive correlation with the area of mangrove forests in the village area. Higher education and broad access to information globally can certainly increase villagers' knowledge and concern about the importance of mangrove forests. Therefore, government policies are needed to improve higher education facilities and access to global information in villages to reduce the exploitation of villagers against mangrove forests, especially for village communities located around mangrove forests.
