Abstract. Mohta G, Sadjati E, Suhada N, Roflimas. 2026. The mediating role of community trust in institutional readiness for sustainable mangrove forest rehabilitation. Asian J For 10 (1): r100123. https://doi.org/10.13057/asianjfor/r100123. Mangrove rehabilitation plays a crucial role in sustaining mangrove forests, coastal ecological functions, and socio-ecological resilience. However, its long-term success depends not only on technical aspects but also on the institutional readiness of local community organizations. This study examines the relationships among government support, initial community participation, and the institutional readiness of Forest Farmer Groups (KTH), with community trust as a mediating variable, in community-based mangrove rehabilitation in Pasir Limau Kapas Village, Indonesia. A census survey of 68 KTH members was conducted and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that government support had a positive effect on both trust and institutional readiness, and exerted an indirect effect through trust as a partial mediator. Community trust significantly strengthened institutional readiness, while initial participation did not significantly affect trust, although it directly influenced institutional readiness. These findings indicate that mangrove rehabilitation success is more strongly determined by governance quality, institutional support, and trust-building than by initial participation alone, with direct implications for sustainable mangrove management and ecological functions. This study contributes by explicitly positioning trust as a mediating mechanism linking government support and institutional readiness, extending the social-ecological systems framework. Practically, it highlights the importance of strengthening local institutions through clear roles, secure land access, and continuous facilitation. However, the cross-sectional design and single study site limit the generalizability of the findings.
