Ternate and Hiri Island are located in North Maluku Province and their forest area is within the management of the Ternate-Tidore Protected Forest Management Unit (PFMU). Both are small islands that need to be managed properly because they have ecological and socio-economic potential that needs to be developed. Small island management can also be linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda which is a global commitment to improving people's welfare. This research was conducted to examine the livelihood assets that can be accessed by the community and analyze sustainable livelihood strategies for improving people's livelihoods. Data collection was carried out in two sub-districts on Ternate Island (Tubo and Maliaro sub-districts) and Hiri Island (Togolobe and Dorari Isa sub-districts) using quantitative and qualitative methods through structured interviews, in-depth interviews, and observation. The assessment of household livelihood assets uses indicators of natural, social, physical, financial, and human capital which are analyzed and described in the asset pentagon. The sustainable livelihood strategy uses intensification and extensification, diversification, and migration strategy indicators. The results showed that Ternate Island has greater assets (13.79) compared to Hiri Island (11.76). Communities on the two islands have good access to sources of capital needed for their livelihood, with the largest being financial capital and the smallest being natural capital. The strategies for sustainable livelihoods in the two islands are similar: intensification and extensification strategies through land-use utilization, diversification strategies through the marketing of agricultural products, and migration strategies by permanently migrating to other areas within and outside the province of North Maluku.
