Public Perception on the Existence of Sebangau National Park Buffer Zone, Indonesia | Chapter 2 | Research Advances in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 4

National Park is one of the forms of Nature Conservation Area (KPA) which has the ecosystem of the original, staffed with a system of zoning that is utilized for the purpose of research, science, knowledge, education, support aquaculture, tourism, and recreation. Sebangau National Park is one of the Nature Conservation Areas (KPA) in Central Kalimantan defined as Sebangau National Park by letter of the decision of the Minister of Forestry No. SK. 423/Forestry/II/2004 on October 19, 2004. Similarly, the problem with other national parks, the Sebangau area already contained a settlement of fishermen who lived in the buffer zone. They are very dependent on the existence of river and swamp forests in the Sebangau National Park. The purpose of this research is to determine the perception of the public about the influence of National Parks' presence on various aspects, both for environmental sustainability and social welfare of the TNS (Taman Nasional Sebangau) buffer zone. The approach used in this study is a rationalistic approach that considers something as real if there is coherence between the empirical to the rational scheme. The type of research are combination of quantitative and qualitative descriptive using Skorring, SWOT and IFAS-EFAS analysis. These results indicate that the public has the perception that the TNS environment is still very awake by the TNS management efforts. However, people also have the perception that TNS Management does not significantly affect people's lives in the buffer zone. A proper development strategy needs to be implemented in Sebangau National Park which is in the first quadrant of space A, namely the Rapid Growth Strategy. There is a need to design policies or regulations for the determination of the zoning district by paying attention to aspects of ecological, economic, social and cultural communities in and around the district.
