Central Sulawesi Forest Park: A Pattern of Tenure Conflict Resolution

Abstract

Tenurial conflicts between the community and the administration of the Central Sulawesi Forest Park area have persisted for a very long period, leading to both tangible and intangible losses. Each side presents claims and justifications for land ownership in the region. This study investigates the pattern of tenure conflict resolution in the Central Sulawesi Forest Park area, aiming to contribute to the optimal management and use of forest resources. A process hierarchical analysis utilizing a quantitative descriptive approach is employed as the study methodology. Based on the Global Priority calculation, the pattern of tenure settlement with the highest alternative weight priority is the social forestry conservation partnership, with a score of 1.17; law enforcement with a value of 0.49 and settlement of land acquisition in forest areas on land for agrarian reform objects with a value of 0.28. There are three alternatives for resolving land tenure conflicts in the Tahura Area of Central Sulawesi: 1) Social forestry with conservation partnerships, 2) Law enforcement, and 3) Settlement of land tenure in forest areas for land objects of agrarian reform.
