PARTISIPASI KELOMPOK MASYARAKAT DALAM PENGELOLAAN KAWASAN HUTAN LINDUNG, KASUS DI HUTAN LINDUNG GUNUNG NONA KOTA AMBON PROPINSI MALUKU
Abstract: The management of a
protection forest often faces a dilemma between the importance of conservation
and the importance of the needs of the local people in the area. Managing the
area will on’t be so effective and disturbed if there is only minimal
participation and insufficient support in interaction from the local people.
Various factors of heterogeneous people will influence the form of interaction
that occurs between the people and the area. The aim of this study is to know
and measure the participation of the local people in managing the protection
forest and to analyse the characteristics (both individual and organizational)
that influence the level of participation collectively in preserving the
protected forest area. This research is designed as a survey research having
the character of a descriptive co-relationship between the variable dependent
i.e. Community participation and the variable of individual and organizational
characters as a heterogeneous factor in protection forest area. This research
population is the active community who manage the land (dusung) around the
protection forest area in Gunung Nona (HLGN) in Ambon. Data analyses used tests
the technical Chi square and its participation level test the co-efficient of
the contingency. Results show that the characteristics (both individual and
organizational) that have a close connection and influenced the level of
participation in preserving the HLGN area are their knowledge about the
protection forest, the scope of the authority of dusung land, the status of
ownership of the dusung, the period of involvement in the organization and the
relationship between the organizer and the public members in the organization.
People’s participation in managing the HLGN is based on the perceived benefits
and how they manage the dusung depends on their own character or morale.
