West Bali National Park (WBNP) is a nature conservation area that has native ecosystems, managed with a zoning system for research, education, science purposes as well as to support cultivation, tourism, and recreation. Its goal is to preserve biological natural resources and their ecosystems, thus the WBNP Hall established a cooperative relationship with 1 urban village (Gilimanuk Village) and 5 buffer villages (Blimbingsari, Ekasari, Melaya, Sumber Klampok and Pejarakan villages). In the working area of the WBNP Hall, there are several strategic issues that have developed, one of which is the illegal logging of production plants in Production Forests which has significantly affected the balance of the ecosystem as a whole which can lead to a decrease in the quality of potential biological natural resources. The problems are: 1) What is the cooperative relationship between the WBNP Hall and the buffer villages in the effort to conserve nature? 2) With the existence of WBNP, can job opportunities for local communities be created? The objectives of the study: to analyze the cooperative relationship between the WBNP Hall and the buffer village in an effort to conserve nature; and to identify and analyze the benefits of WBNP in an effort to create jobs. This study uses empirical research methods with a sociological approach. Data were obtained from primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected using an interview technique and secondary data were collected using recording and documentation methods. The data were analyzed qualitatively using legal argumentation. The research results are presented descriptively. The conclusion is the cooperative relationship between the WBNP Hall, and the buffer villages has been stated in a written agreement to support WBNP. WBNP has been able to create jobs, but the use of local labor has not been maximized. |
