The stability of protected areas is influenced by the existence of areas outside it. The more development of the area outside the conservation area, it is necessary to arrange the function of the area to increase the value and opportunities for the use of the area to support development. In order to integrate the economic interests of these communities with the interests of conserving biodiversity and their ecosystems in a balanced way is to develop a buffer zone outside the Natural Preservation Area. The buffer zone has a very important function, namely to reduce population pressure into conservation areas and nature reserves, provide community economic activities and is an area that allows for sustainable interaction of benefits for the community and conservation areas. The existence of conservation areas, buffer zones and community economics have a reciprocal relationship that can be beneficial if managed properly. A conservation strategy that integrates the uniqueness of resources and the people who live and activities around and within the national park still needs to be explored. The application of collaboration mechanisms must be followed by safeguards, as a safeguard for its success. One of them is the consolidation of social contracts towards strengthening the buffer zone. Based on this description, the purpose of this study were to determine the dynamics of pressure on the Lore Lindu National Park area for a span of 10 years, find out the effectiveness of collaboration models that had been applied in overcoming conflicts in the Lore Lindu National Park and find out management strategies through a partnership pattern (process towards social contracts) in an effort to implement collaborative management. This research was conducted in the Lore Lindu National Park area which included buffer zones, from 37 buffer villages there were 6 buffer villages that were targeted by researchers. The location was determined by consideration as a buffer zone where the community was part of the partnership process. Data analysis was adjusted to the research objectives of historical analysis (Hystorical Analysis), fishbone, qualitative descriptive and SWOT analysis.
Based on the research results concluded that interaction and dependence on various supply of forest resource products that had been going on for generations, and in the end giving birth to positive local wisdom was a major factor in maintaining forest cover in Cluster 1 of Valley Bada, Lore Lindu National Park. The experience and learning of collaborative management activities that had been or had been carried out in TNLL were still conventional because community involvement was still being mobilized and dominated by BBTNLL management. The non-optimal management of colabotaif in TNLL was dominated by internal factors compared to internal and external factors such as limited resources and access to information, involvement of parties at the local level that was not yet maximal, the absence or finalization of boundaries, traditional attitudes about life, and experience bad past in resolving tenure and social conflicts. Global, national and local strategic issues demonstrated the potential for developing collaborative and participatory TNLL management through prospective and competitive Community-based Conservation Partnerships (KKM) in the future. Four important components as a policy strategy that must be carried out based on SWOT in the development of KKM in the TNLL were strengthening the legality status of the area through boundary mapping and participatory zoning, empowering parties, especially local institutions and resources, changing paradigms in resolving tenurial and social conflicts, and developing diversity alternative livelihood sources. Collaborative management that began with a social contract in the KKM policy in addition to the enormous opportunity in overcoming tenurial and social conflicts in the LLNP, also provided certainty and guarantees the sustainability of more equitable and participatory management.
