Abstract:
Within existing regulations in Indonesia, local farmers are limited in participating in national parks using non-wood and environmental service products only (for instance, tourism). They are not allowed to use the land inside the national park, whereas in practice, many of them do cultivate it. Access and accommodative zonation practices could be applied and regulated for people to engage in ‘collaborative national park land use-based management’ to sustain their farming practices. The paper focuses on a land dispute between the Sumbersari community and the Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan or Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (TNBBS) Indonesia.
