Abstract

The livelihood system is an effort to make a living carried out by an individual or household to live by utilizing the resources they have. From the change in the status of the area, namely from a protected forest to a national park, the community experienced a decline in the livelihood system so the government issued a program for community empowerment as well as forest area conservation through a conservation partnership permit. The purpose of this study is to analyze sustainable livelihood strategies based on available assets or capital. This research method uses qualitative and quantitative analysis through 3 stages, namely the input stage, the matching stage, and the decision stage. The results showed that from the conservation partnership villages, namely Labuaja, Rompegading, Barugae, Patanyamang, Mattampawalie, Patanyamang and Wanua Waru, had the highest assets and capital. From the analysis of internal and external factors, the most influential on this livelihood system is the external factor with a score of 4.26. After analyzing these factors, the SWOT analysis shows that the community's livelihood system is in the Growth-Oriented Strategy (Quadrant I). QSPM analysis shows that the four emerging strategies are survival strategy, consolidation, and accumulation and shows that the highest strategy with a score of 0.72 is the running strategy. The conclusion is that the sustainable livelihood strategy that is considered the most capable of improving the community's livelihood system in this conservation partnership permit is a strategy.

Abstract

This study addresses a gap in understanding the specific economic impacts of community engagement in Ruteng Nature Tourism Park (TWA Ruteng) on local livelihoods. While prior research highlights general benefits of tourism, limited attention has been given to the direct economic activities and their outcomes within TWA Ruteng. The objectives of this research are to analyze the economic activities of the Ngkiong Ndora Village community and evaluate their effects on household income. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, documentation, and literature review. Participants were categorized into three strata based on land ownership: 34 respondents in stratum I, 60 in stratum II, and 12 in stratum III. The data were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of economic dynamics. The results reveal that the community engages in land cultivation, wood utilization, and the exploitation of non-timber resources. These activities have a significant positive economic impact, contributing 76.44% to household income and increasing income levels by 76.94%. This study offers novel insights into the interaction between local communities and nature tourism parks, particularly in Indonesia. It highlights the importance of integrating community involvement into tourism development strategies and illustrates how such engagement can yield substantial economic benefits. Additionally, it provides empirical evidence to inform policies that balance conservation efforts with local economic development, ensuring sustainability and improved livelihoods.
