Judul: Concept of community empowerment as land conflict resolution at The National Park of Mount of Halimun-Salak
Abstrak: Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS) is a conservation area in West Java and Banten Provinces, has an important role in supporting community life and protecting surrounding ecosystems. One of crucial issues in the management of sustainable TNGHS are land use conflicts associated with spatial policies of the surrounding regencies and community land uses within the national park. The purpose of this research are : (a) to analyze problems of spatial planning of surrounding regencies with the national park zones; (b) to analyse institutions of management and use of TNGHS’s resources; and (c) to formulate the concept of community empowerment in resolving land use conflicts in the region of TNGHS. The discrepancy between the spatial plan of Lebak, Bogor, and Sukabumi as regencies surrounding the national park and the TNGHS zones has potential conflicts in landuses. Due to unsyncronized landuse between the TNGHS and the spatial plan of surrounding regencies has impacts to communities who live in the TNGHS. The local regencies legally are not be budgeted to supports their communities although the area which people lived is still pointed as economic regions according to the regency spatial planning. Recommendation to resolve land conflicts in the TNGHS are : (a) to harmonize TNGHS zone with the regencie spatial plan around the park; and (b) to perform community empowerment that will encourage the development potential of national parks in accordance with its function as a conservation area.The concept of community empowerment is the empowerment of communities that can be developed collaboratively conducted in zones that allow limited economic activity. The pattern of collaboration will be effective if conflict spatial policy between the Ministry of Forestry and the three regencies could be solved.

Abstrak: Gunung Halimun Salak is one of national park in Indonesia, located in West Java and Banten Province. In 2003, government has expanded its area by more than 70000 hectares. It caused a lot of conflicts between local communities and national park officials. Many case studies showed that the local communities has used the natural resources for construction materials, fuel wood, medicine, food, cultural needs, forages, hunting, handicraft, gold mining, agriculture land, and settlement. There was clear evidence that in Gunung Halimun Salak National Park, during 15 years period (1989-2004), forest cover area decreased by more than 25%. The objectives of the research are: 1) to identify socio-economic variables causing landuse and landcover change; 2) to estimate influence of key socio-economic variables; 3) to estimate the need of agricultural land and settlement for local communities; and 4) to estimate the direct benefit value of the national park. Selection of sampling location was used by stratified cluster sampling. Socio-economic data collected from interviews with 900 head of households which lived in 30 villages in and around the national park. The technique of data processing analysis were done using spatial analysis, descriptive analysis, linear regression analysis, population pressure analysis, and substitution and market price analysis. The result of analysis showed that the population growth, population density, land ownership, agricultural land and settlement expansion are the key variables that influenced landuse and landcover change. The need of agricultural land was 0.54 hectares per person, and the direct benefit value of the national park was more than IDR 237 billion per year.
