Abstract
Today we find the phenomenon of forestation in many places in Java Island, with people enthusiastically planting timber trees such as Sengon（Praserianthes falcataria）. So now in Java we do not find the deforestation but forestation. This forestation takes place more at privetely owned land rather than the government-designated forest area（kawasan hutan）. We have studied this forestation in Java Island using the data that we collected in 2012 at mainly the area where government did not impliment systematic afforestation program at north coastal flat areas in Pemalang District, Central Java Province. The survey showed that upper class farmers, or people who have occupations at non-agricultural sector tend to plant these trees at agricultural land, or home gardens, with relatively large numbers of trees. The number of tree plannted increased, the percentage of tree planted at the agricultural land to homegarden increased, however substantial number of timber trees spicies and multipurpose tree spicies are still planted at the homegarden.
