Analisis Kelembagaan Pola Penggunaan Lahan Kawasan Hutan Lindung di Kawasan Bandung Utara (KBU), Kabupaten Bandung

Abstract

Land use change cause the environmental degradation. The pattern of land use change is always from vegetated land to built up land. It also happended in Bandung Regency. It happened because there was inappropriate land use change. Inappropriate land use change is defined as the activity of using land resources that exceed the capacity of the land. The formulation of a strategy that involves all sectors and related institutions in the management of land use in North Bandung Area, Bandung Regency (Upper Citarum Watershed) must be implemented immediately. It is considered the condition of land that has been degraded due to continuous and significant land use. Numerous past studies have investigated that there are patterns in the forest area's land use management that support forest sustainability and society's economy. This research aimed to identify the action arena and patterns of interaction, to describe the outcomes of the two land use patterns, and to formulate the strategy related to forest area’s land use pattern in North Bandung Area, Bandung Regency. This research used Institutional analysis and development (IAD) framework as the research method. Exogenous variables were analyzed using descriptive analysis, community attributes, and content analysis. The action arena was analyzed using the analysis of Stakeholder and Actor Theory Analysis. The patterns of interaction was analyzed using Collective Analysis, and Coordination Action. The outcomes of the patterns of interaction was analyzed using the IAD (Institutional Analysis and Development) framework. The land use change management strategy was analyzed using the concept of Pentahelix. The identified action arena includes the pattern of commodity and profession transfer. The actors involved were State-owned Forest Enterprises (Perum Perhutani), Village Administrations, forest extensions, Forest Village Community Association (FVCA), and Forest and Farm Producers Organization (FFPO). The most dominating actor in land use activities in both patterns was Perum Perhutani, along with FVCA and FFPO. The pattern of interaction that exists between actors was considered appropriate with only minor problems found within its coordination system. The outcome of the application of these two patterns, among others, is to raise public awareness in conserving forests and improving the community's economy. The land management strategy for forest areas can be directed using the Penta helix concept.
