Purpose: The purpose of this study is to ascertain how the Wanga Village community manages land using agroforestry technologies. Based on the observations, different component kinds are found in the sites of the respondents. Agrisilviculture, agrosilvofishery, agrosilvopasture and agroforestry patterns employed by the residents of Wanga village. Method: The approach is a survey that combines field observations and interviewing methods. Purposive sampling was used to select respondents, and the indigenous inhabitants of Wanga Village who oversee agroforestry land met the selection criterion. Interviews with respondents using questionnaires. Following the research results, a descriptive analysis was conducted on the data. Results and conclusion: The Wanga Village community still uses an agroforestry technique to manage their land with the help of local knowledge. The agroforestry system in Wanga Village is still used to manage land utilizing the traditional knowledge of "mapalus" or "maendo," "toki bulu," and moon observation. Research implications: The way the residents of Wanga Village observe the "New Moon" phase which comes once a month when the moon is in the west, appears at sunset and the moon adopts the appearance of a crescent. The young quartile moon phase follows the "new moon" phase, which lasts for three days during which people are believed to not plant anything. After the young quartile phase, people wait six days for the big moon phase, during which they believe they cannot plant any fruit plants because they will not bear fruit. Originality/value: "Toki Bulu" is a community activity on agrosilvofishery land in providing fish food. Based on the results of interviews, the community's unique way of feeding fish is by "Toki Bulu" (tapping the feathers) first to call the fish. "Mapalus" is a social activity originating from Minahasa culture and is usually called mutual cooperation. "Mapalus" for the Tountemboan people is called "Maendo" which means taking the day or taking advantage of the day to work together with other people. The Wanga Village community still carries out this activity, especially in land preparation. © 2024 ANPAD - Associacao Nacional de Pos-Graduacao e Pesquisa em Administracao. All rights reserved.
