ABSTRACT

This study aims to review the root problems of inter-institutional conservation area governance using the theory of Governance Networks. This research seeks to gain an in-depth understanding of the political will of community groups in managing conservation areas collectively, institutional relations, and conservation legal systems and policies. This research uses a qualitative approach with the System Thinking method to explore the problem of developing the Governance Networks model in the context of conservation area governance which is then developed into ecotourism. The Soft System Methodology (SSM) method of System Thinking was used in this study to document the problems of cooperation between stakeholders in the management of CMC Tiga Warna ecotourism (Rich Picture) and formulate a conceptual model of cooperation in conservation area management (Conceptual Model), where all these processes follow 7 stages of SSM. Based on the results to be produced in this study and the methodological encouragement of the 7 stages of SSM, initial research was carried out to explore problems and compile a solution model (TKT 5) according to stages 1-7 SSM proposed in this research proposal. This research uses 3 stages of data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews and documentation. The output resulting from this research includes international journal publications and models to facilitate networking between CMC Tiga Warna management institutions with the institutions involved, as well as with tourists. The research location covers the entire Clungup Mangrove Conservation area located in Tambakrejo Village, Sumbermanjing Wetan District, Malang Regency.
