Ruteng Mountains in

The establishment of national park in customary region had aroused conflic since it had not incorporate traditional management system in its management system. The objectives of this research is to develop such policies for national park zonation that amalgamating the national-global interests for conservation on the one side and the customary community interests on the other side. Result shows that adaptation was needed toward the prevailing science-based ecologically-oriented regulation on zoning plan, so it would incorporate the community's custom in order to achieve effective management of national park. Appropriate and applicable zoning can be achieved through implementation of management mindset with customary people livelihood perspectives, zone establishment which give priority to the achievement of national park functions rather than the fulfillment of zone requirements, and adaptation of zone formation and criteria toward traditional land use as efforts to accommodate the interest of biodiversity conservation and customary people livelihood.

Conservation of mountain forests in the tropics will be successful if the interests of local communities considered in the management. Indigenous system of forest management for the sustainable use is the most appropriate for better understanding to the environmental conditions. This study is aimed at analyzing the traditional land management by Manggarai communities and integrate this local wisdom in to the forest conservation. This research is a qualitative ethnographic approach. Qualitative data in 2014 obtained through observation, interviews, data from relevant agencies and related literature. The results showed that traditional land management and sustainable use zoning system have been practiced by the Manggarai community in Ruteng Mountains. Indigenous land use practice is done by considering the sustainability and preventing land degradation.

Pengelolaan lahan pekarangan yang berkelanjutan pada hakekatnya merupakan Abstract Application of backyard utilization technology sustainability by farmer's wive was basically intended to respond the issue of national food security, food availability versus population growth, land conversion issue and the importance of food diversification awareness. This study was aimed: (1) to analyze individual characteristics, the characteristics of innovation, facilitators' performance, external support and sustainability of the application of backyard utilization technology; (2) to analyze the effects of individual characteristics, the characteristics of innovation, facilitators' performance, and external support on the sustainability of backyard utilization technology.

Masyarakat pedesaan memiliki kecenderungan untuk mencari pekerjaan lain di luar pertanian. Hal ini terjadi karena lapangan kerja industri lebih menarik dalam perkotaan daripada pedesaan yang terkait dengan aspek ekonomi. Perubahan tersebut tidak mempengaruhi Kampung Urug karena tiga prinsip kearifan lokal yang dimiliki kampung ini, yaitu titipan (fungsi perlindungan), tutupan (fungsi pemeliharaan), dan awisan (fungsi budidaya). Tidak hanya potensi pertanian, kampung ini memiliki potensi ekologi termasuk sumber daya alam dan lingkungan yang dapat digunakan sebagai aset ekowisata. Penelitian ini menganalisis potensi ekologi dan merumuskan strategi dalam pengelolaan ekowisata berbasis masyarakat menggunakan metode observasi untuk mengambil data potensi ekologi, dan metode survei melalui kuesioner dan wawancara kepada responden untuk pendekatan analisis SWOT sehingga dapat merumuskan pengelolaan ekowisata berbasis masyarakat.Beberapa potensi ekologis yang dapat dipertimbangkan di Kampung Urug adalah (1) keanekaragaman tanaman yang biasa digunakan oleh masyarakat, (2) spesies primata seperti lutung jawa (Trachypithecus auratus) dan monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis) dan burung seperti elang jawa (Nisaetus bartelsi), srigunting (Dicrurus macrocercus), dan cakakak jawa (Halcyon cyanoventris), dan (3) sawah dan sungai. Sementara itu sosial budaya masyarakat baik dalam upacara adat maupun kelembagaan adat. Berdasarkan analisis SWOT, strategi pengelolaan sesuai dengan kuadran I (1,31-1,78) yaitu strategi agresif berdasarkan pengaruh faktor internal dan eksternal.   Kata kunci: ekowisata, Kampung Urug, kearifan lokal, potensi ekologi
