Abstract

The management of natural tourism has one goal; one of the main objectives of natural tourism management is to increase local community income, which is closely linked to community participation and perception. This research aims to analyze the level of perception and participation of the Perupuk Village community towards the development of natural tourism at the Pantai Sejarah in Perupuk Village, Batu Bara Regency. This study employed a questionnaire-based interview method with 100 respondents for participation levels and 100 respondents for perception levels, including both residents and visiting tourists. The sample size was determined using Slovin's formula. In addition, direct observations were conducted to study the habits of a group of people in the vicinity of the Pantai Sejarah location, including residents, visiting tourists, traders, and tourism managers. Meanwhile, the relationship between perception, participation, and respondent characteristics was analyzed using Spearman's Rank Correlation Test. The results obtained from this research indicate that the participation level of the Perupuk Village community was high (62.22%), while the perception level was moderate (59.64%). The correlation test results indicate no significant relationship between participation and public perception. These findings suggest that while community participation and perception levels are relatively high, demographic factors such as age, gender, and Education have minimal influence. Further studies should explore strategies to enhance community engagement in tourism development.

Abstract

Social forestry (PS) is a form of sustainable forest management within state forest areas where local communities act as the leading actors to improve welfare, ecological balance, and socio-cultural dynamics. Although PS has been promoted to reduce poverty, increase local income, and strengthen forest conservation, many groups still face challenges in management, compliance, and financial sustainability. At the UPTD KPH IX Panyabungan, several social forestry groups have obtained legal approval but continue to struggle with fulfilling regulatory performance indicators, particularly in business development, area management, and financial contributions to the state (PNBP). This research was conducted in the North Sumatra Forest Management Unit Regional IX Panyabungan, involving four active social forestry groups (KPS): KTH Permata Belantara and KPS Sampean Jaya (HKm), KPS Globe Mangrove Indah (HD), and KPS Koperasi Rizki Jaya (HTR), selected from a total of seven groups at the site. This study aims to analyze the performance of KPS as PS approval recipients. The research employed a qualitative approach using field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, with evaluation criteria and indicators based on the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. 9/2021. The novelty of this study lies in evaluating both the economic impacts and compliance performance of KPS after PS approval, while most previous studies mainly emphasized ecological or participation aspects. The results show that KPS fulfilled institutional indicators and generated additional income: KTH Permata Belantara (Rp. 31.9 million/year), KPS Sampean Jaya (Rp. 17.75 million/year), and KPS Gubeg Mulyoharjo Indah (Rp. 36.96 million/year). They also received capital support and planted 18,293 trees over three years. However, optimization is still needed in area management, business development, and non-tax state revenue (PNBP) payments. Thus, stronger institutional support, capacity building, and monitoring are required to ensure that PS not only meets administrative targets but also delivers measurable improvements in community welfare and forest sustainability.
