Analisis Perambahan Hutan di Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan (Studi Kasus Desa Tirom Kecamatan Pematang Sawa Kabupaten Tanggamus)
Abstract: Most of National
Parks in Indonesia have their problems related to human existence in
conservation area. Since its establishment, there has been a conflict between
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) with the surrounding communities.
In the BBSNP, there have been acts of illegal landusage where it is commonly
referred as forest encroachment. Forest encroachment in Tirom village is
becoming interesting to study because it needs more complicated handling
compared to other villages.
This study aims to reveal the factors led to forest encroachment action
by people of Tirom village, Pematang Sawa sub-district, Tanggamus District.
This social research used descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods to
test the legal land ownership factors and people income as factors affecting
forest encroachment action. In this method, respondents were chosen purposively
and interview was conducted deeply (in-depth interview) on each respondent.
Based on the results of in-depth interviews it is concluded that there
are several socio-economic problems experienced by the Tirom village including
low income, limited sources of livelihood, and low capacity of communities in
managing small areas. Based on regression analysis resultsit was shown that
there is no strong relationship between the act of appropriation (as seen from
the encroachment of land area) with revenues and private land ownership. This
study also shows that there are other factors (beside income and private land
ownership factors) that led to forest encroachment by the Tirom Village
communities. These other factors need to be tested through further research.
