The study used the binary regression model. The independent variables x1, x2,..., xn are indicators of livelihood strategy, vulnerability context and livelihood capital sources. These variables are selected and included in the original model with the dependent variable Y being poor and non-poor.

Therefore, the government needs to pay more attention to this vulnerable group and have policies such as education and training policies, credit support policies, forest development support policies, and payment for forest environmental services ( beneficiaries are more suitable people and forest dependent communities.
