Institutional Sustainability Barriers of Community Conservation Agreement as a Collaboration Management in Lore Lindu National Park
Abstract: The main problem of
forest institutional arrangement is the issue of institutional sustainability
in achieving sustainable forest ecosystem. This study aimed to explain the
barriers of institutional sustainability Community Conservation Agreement (CCA)
designed in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP), in Indonesia, as a collaborative
management of national parks. This study
is of descriptive which used qualitative approach, i.e. asking open-ended
questions, reviewing documentation and analyzing textual of community
conservation agreements. We found that the institutional sustainability
barriers of CCA were the local decisions on collective-choice level and that
the rules at operational level arranged in CCA were not in line with formal
rules of national park management at the constitutional level. Furthermore, the
low capacity of local institutions in heterogeneous villages with many migrants
in controlling and regulating the forest use, especially in rehabilitation zone
areas, also became a barrier to institutional sustainability of CCA. Therefore,
institutional sustainability of CCA requires support of national park
management policy that accommodates the sustainability of livelihoods of local
communities in national parks, strengthening local institution's capacity, and
ultimately integrating institution of CCA as part of LLNP management.
