Abstract

Jamlis Lahandu, The Access of Kaili Community to The Natural Resources of Central Sulawesi Grand  Forest Park (TAHURA)  Supervised by Syukur Umar, Sulaiman Mamar, and Hariadi Kartodihardjo.Taman Hutan Raya (TAHURA) Central Sulawesi, is an interconnected ecosystem of life with each other. The ecosystem of life in Central Sulawesi's Central Forest Park encompasses sub-systems, components and integrated elements that include human, animal and plant life systems and biodiversity associated with abiotic elements. TAHURA Central Sulawesi was confirmed through KepMenHut no. 24 / Kpts-II / 1999, covering an area of 7,128 hectares located in Sigi Regency area of 2,431.73 ha, and Palu City of 4,696.27 ha. Of the extent there is a de facto public domain (privat property) of 676.55 hectares or 9.49 percent; in addition to private property there is also a communal property area of 30 hectares located in Watutela region. The de facto community of Kaili communities occupies six residential locations namely Wintu, Watutela, PondoPoboya, Uentumbu, Tompu and Raranggonau (Lando).The Central Sulawesi TAHURA policy through The Regional Regulation No. 2/1955 about Central Sulawesi Forest Park Management has implicated for good governance, reducing tenure conflicts and providing legal certainty for the owner, but the fact that the Local Government Regulation does not give significant impact on the right management and access within the TAHURA forest area. Exploitation of metallic mineral mines are widespread, the rights of the farmers remain unchanged and the lack of communication between TAHURA Management and local people living in the region. The forest area contains 1.675 people who depend on natural resources.This study aims to formulate the access and assurance arrangement of the community rights of the Kaili tribe in Central Sulawesi Forest Park. The Method of data collection used is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) with several assessment tools such as season calendar, historical flow, rank matrix and institutional relationship (venn diagram). Infroman in this study amounted to 24 people covering community kaili community 13 people, representing government 9 people, 1 person legislative, and private 1 person.The data obtained were analyzed using 4R analysis tools (Right, Responsibility, Revenue and Relationship).The UPTD of Central Sulawesi TAHURA as a key stakeholder should be able to control the access of the parties involved in TAHURA, but the reality shows that the access management within the area  is not yet optimal. The community of the Kaili tribe as a beneficiary of large access and at the same time responsible for the sustainability of natural resources within the area with forest management schemes namely pangale, kakana and pakam for the community of Kaililedo and Laranggayumbongo, pangale and nava for the Kaili Tara Community. Inter-stakeholder relationships show that inter-communities within the area and TAHURA management have a less harmonious relationship, and between mining entrepreneurs and communities around the mine area have a good relationship as communities are given space and land compensation.This study concludes that (aThe system of regulating access to forest resources is only done internally by Community ofKaili Tara and Ledo based on traditional institutional rules. The responsibilities and benefits of the de facto right to natural resources rank highest; but does not get the right property rights of the government (de jure right),  (b) UPTD TAHURA as the access controller did not fulfill its responsibilities and functions well, especially the implementation of PERDA no. 2 Year 2015 about the Management of TAHURA, (c) PERDA no. 2/2015 has not been able to regulate access management from natural resource-related parties within TAHURA Central Sulawesi.
