Urban forest is a form of environmentally oriented development. One form of urban forest in South Kalimantan is the Indonesia’s Tropical Rain Forest Park (TH2TI). This study aims to calculate the total economic value and future value of TH2TI. The total economic value calculated in this study consists of direct use value (recreation, wood, carbon and oxygen), indirect use value (water absorption), and option value (existence and heritage). The method used in this research was quantitative research method to calculate the value of wood, carbon, oxygen, and water absorption and qualitative research method to calculate the value of recreation, existence, and heritage. Results indicated that the economic value of recreation was the highest amounted to IDR 1,568,514,750.00 and the total economic value of TH2TI amounted to IDR 3,085,373,964.75. In the next 5 years, the economic value of TH2TI could reach IDR 3,664,456,405.74. The knowledge of the economic values of TH2TI is expected to make people aware to the importance of the environment for life.

Humans and nature cannot be separated because both have a close relationship as an ecosystem. The purpose of this study was to determine: 1) the level of social and ecological resilience; 2) Scenarios on ecological and social factors for the sustainability of protected forests. The research method uses survey methods and data analysis uses qualitative-verification analysis based on the results of the calculation of the resilience index and the phase of the socio-ecological system. The results showed that the level of social and economic resilience was partially or simultaneously at the level of resilience with their respective indexes: social: 0.6944); ecology: 0.8148 and socio-ecology 0.7460. The exploitation phase (growth) leads to the conservation phase. The results of the scene show that both of them are at a high level of resilience with a resilience index of 0.8889 (high resilience) and a reorganization phase. If this phase can be maintained with various management interventions according to its function, it will minimize the level of disturbance to the Mount Sirimau Protection Forest Group.
