The Agroforestry System in Mara Satu village largely follows traditional patterns. The reason the farmers apply the agroforestry pattern has become a local culture that was passed down from their ancestors. The community of farmers is still very dependent on the commodity yields from the agroforestry system, but the community is not aware that agroforestry also affects the local culture, including the attitude of farmers to their environment. Regarding cultural aspects, agroforestry can play a role in tenure aspects, preserving various cultural identities, maintaining local institutions, and preserving traditional knowledge, while looking at farmers attitudes towards the environment, they can assess their attitudes towards grazing forested animals, harvesting forest products and attitudes of agroforestry farmers in maintaining staple plants. so this study aims to determine how the role of agroforestry in local culture and how the attitude of agroforestry farmers to their environment in the village of Mara Satu, Bulungan District. This research was conducted in the village of Mara Satu, Tanjung Palas Barat District, Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan Province. The methodology used is a purposive sampling method that is deliberate sampling while the determination of the number of samples is determined based on the Slovin technique. Data analysis using quantitative descriptive and loaded in tabular form. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that agroforestry practices developed by farmers in the village of Mara Satu play an important role in protecting farmer's tenure rights, preserving cultural identity, enhancing the role of local institutions, and preserving traditional knowledge. Agroforestry farmers in Mara Satu village can also be said to be quite concerned about their environment. This is evidenced by the majority of agroforestry farmers not tending livestock in the forest and they no longer cut wood in the forest for sale but benefit from non-timber forest products such as swallow nests (Collocalia maxima), aloeswood (Aquilaria malaccensis), lapiu fruit (Archidendron panviflorum) and honey bee (Apis koschevnikovi) from the forest. Besides that, Mara Satu village farmers always take care of their agroforestry staple plants, in this case, durian (Durio zibethinus), as well as they, take care of other forest plants, although the intensity of each respondent varies, because they realize that it is very important to maintain the forest.

Pandit Nehru affirmed that women development/ empowerment is the basis for the substantial growth of a family, a village, or a nation. Development/upliftment of women is an essential ingredient of human development. Entrepreneurship development among the rural women folk would strengthen the village economy and promote regional development. The women entrepreneurs have proved that there is a source of immense untapped power in the womanhood of India (Margaret, 1992). Women undoubtedly are the backbone of the socio-economic-cultural aspects in the hill scenario. The subsistence agriculture which leads to low and unstable incomes, which in turn lead to a sizeable out-migration of male members that leads to only women headed families behind, and the role of women in the household economy becomes more important (Rawat, 2004). In the midst of limited opportunities, tough terrains and lack of resources, the contribution of women entrepreneurs to the society is enormous.

This article discusses the traditional knowledge of society is the wealth of inheritance obtained from previous generations. The knowledge contains two elements; local elements and elements of Islam. In this element there are beliefs that are associated with supernatural powers, and there are also beliefs that are associated with science. Explanation of these two aspects often cannot be done because of a limited understanding of the culture of the community. Instead of culture that is sustainable, often culture is abandoned because it is considered a prohibited work. Taking examples of activities 40 days after giving birth, this article explains the transition of cultural aspects from belief to knowledge. That is why the response to local culture must be preceded by deepening before any attitude is given.
