Tata Kelola Taman Hutan Raya Nipa-Nipa

This study aims to analyze the physical condition of the environment, governance, supporting factors and limiting factors that affect the governance and direction of land use in Nipa-Nipa Forest Park (Tahura). The method used was a survey method with simple random sampling techniques and data collection techniques through documentation, interviews and surveys. Data analysis was performed using descriptive analysis and map overlay techniques. The results showed that the physical conditions of Nipa-Nipa Forest Park were unsuitable for residential and agricultural areas because its topography > 25 percent (steep) and it has high rainfall which causes erosion, landslides and floods. Types of land use by Nipa-Nipa community include harvesting (timber), gardening and settlement. Governance issues of Nipa-Nipa Forest Park include boundary management, area management planning employing the block division system with an active- participation approach based on local wisdom and environmental sustainability. Factors supporting the management of Nipa-Nipa Forest Park include the availability of water catchment areas, endemic flora and fauna, and natural tourist attractions. The limiting factor includes the geologically steep land, low level of public awareness and weak law enforcement. Concrete steps taken to promote justice and sustainable Nipa-Nipa community include provision of job opportunities, provision of support for micro bussiness, resettlement to safer and profitable areas, mentoring and provision of support for productive bussiness, and coaching and mentoring on agroforestry management.
