Abstract

Conservation partnerships are institutional innovations for self-empowering so that people are no longer dependent on forest areas. Initially, it regulated the relationship between the rights of non-timber forest product collectors (NTFPs) and their obligation to maintain sustainability, such as in the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP). The high interest in becoming members has not been matched by the optimal implementation of the program that has been implemented since 2018 in the BBSNP traditional zone. Characteristics and perceptions are considered to have an influence on people's behavior in utilizing NTFPs and being interested in becoming members of the partnership. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of community characteristics and perceptions on the utilization of NTFPs and their desire to become members of the partnership. Data collection used interviews and literature studies, analyzed statistically inferentially in December 2022 by testing the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) hypothesis using the Smart PLS.4.0 software for students with a sample of 62 respondents, namely the partnership permit applicant community. The results of the hypothesis test showed that the characteristics and utilization of NTFPs variables influenced the community's interest in becoming members of the conservation partnership. Perceptions affect the utilization of NTFPs variables. The use of NTFPs acts as a mediator between perceptions and interest in becoming a member. Misperceptions about conservation partnerships affect the implementation of the program. When public perceptions are improved through outreach activities, coaching etc will shape the character of the community to develop livelihoods and productive activities outside the area and stimulate voluntary leaving of the area without social conflict with area managers.

Abstract

Problems with the community regarding the use of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in national park areas are one of the debates that are often faced, including in the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. The effectiveness of implementing forestry partnerships based on the perspective of the community as permit holders is something that must be done to resolve this problem. A person's perspective based on their perceptions is usually influenced by demographics and social capital, so it is necessary to know whether both have an influence on forestry partnership programs. Many studies have proven that, in particular, the success of forest management with the community cannot be separated from the contribution of social capital, especially through the variables of trust, social norms and existing social networks. So far, there has been a lot of research on forestry partnerships in national parks that has been linked to the success of increasing production, but still very little has been linked to the characteristics and social aspects of the community. Based on this, the aim of this research is to analyze the role of social capital in the implementation of forestry partnerships in the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. The research was conducted in July 2023 with a sample of 95 respondents who were members of the partnership program. Data analysis through hypothesis testing Partial Least Square- Structural Equation Model (Second Order) using Smart PLS.4.0 software. The results of hypothesis testing show that social capital variables (trust, norms/values, and networks) influence partnership members to participate in the program. The level of social capital owned by the community shows the level of trust from both internal and external groups, the level of compliance with the rules and the level of motivation to build a stronger marketing network by involving the roles of the parties.

Abstract

The Sumatran elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus) is one of three species of Asian elephant which has become one of the priority wild animals on the island of Sumatra by Indonesian government policy. This species has been categorized as critically endangered (CE) according to the IUCN in 2012. One of the nature reserves in Way Kambas National Park (TNWK) is the Elephant Training Center (PLG) which is a breeding ground for Sumatran elephants and functions as a place for animal conservation. The average quantity of elephant faeces in the WKNP is 5,090 kg/day from a total of 61 tame elephants in both the PLG and the Elephant Response Unit (ERU). This waste is not used optimally, so it is feared that it will pollute the environment if it is not handled properly and appropriately. This PKM activity aims to increase public understanding regarding the importance of processing elephant feces through the production of block compost. PKM activities were carried out at the Rawa Bunder Research Center in Way Kambas National Park, Labuhan Ratu District, East Lampung Regency on June 21 2023. The method used in carrying out PKM activities was carried out through the FGD (Focus Group Discussion) method, namely providing material and discussion or asking questions responsibility and practice of block composting. Respondents who represented the community around Rawa Bunder experienced an increase in understanding after participating in PKM. They obtained an average pretest score of 8.45 and a posttest of 9.30. Increased understanding of around 0.85 after giving material to the community.

Abstract

Perception is an essential factor influencing attitudes and behavior toward the forestry partnership program. Apart from that, a person’s perception can positively or negatively impact the program. The forestry partnerships program is a policy that is the basis of a community empowerment program that provides legal access for local communities to meet the needs of non-timber forest products originating from the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) area. The research was conducted to identify the role of partnership members’ perceptions as a mediating variable in achieving goals and obtaining benefits as partnership members in the Semaka Region I National Park Management Sector, BBSNP. Data was collected using a questionnaire, and hypothesis testing was performed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model statistical analysis using SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results showed that perception does not play a mediating variable in achieving goals and obtaining benefits as a member of the partnership. The community benefits from the forestry partnership program if they become members even without having a positive perception of the program. Thus, it is possible that they will not commit properly because the important thing is that they have become members because it will be secure and no longer be considered as an encroachment. This means that it is legal access that makes people want to become members of the partnership. So, to increase positive perceptions and ensure the program’s goal is achieved, namely preserving forests and ensuring the fulfillment of people’s lives, it is necessary to increase the intensity of activities that influence people’s perceptions, for example, socialization, mentoring, and coaching.
