摘要

The research examines forest sustainability in the timber production of communal enterprises of the new institutional economics (NIE), from the perspective of socio-ecological systems (SESs), considering 8 categories or first-order variables, of which 6 are internal and 2 are external to the forest system. The research was designed under the methodological requirements of case studies on two enterprises. The Communal Forestry and Agricultural Services Unit of Ixtlán de Juárez, Oaxaca (UCFAS by its acronym in Spanish) and the Forestry Utilization and Integral Development Unit of Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro, Michoacán (UAFyDI by its acronym in Spanish). Through a structured questionnaire applied to the owners of the enterprises in 2023, the information from the categories included in the research is collected, recorded, and qualitatively analyzed. The study finds that forest sustainability in both cases is related to the interaction between the ecological and social systems present in the communities. It is concluded that the communal forest enterprises have advanced toward forest sustainability mainly related to forest governance with positive implications on the Agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
