Popis: Human and tiger conflict (HTC) has become one of the main drivers’ factor of the decline population of the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae). The Leuser Ecosystem is an important landscape for tiger habitat covering13 districts in Aceh Province and 4 districts in North Sumatra. The purpose of this study was to analyse the HTC mitigation strategy based on internal and external factors at Leuser. The location was chosen by purposive sampling in two potential areas of conflict, namely Timbang Lawan (TL) Village, in Langkat Regency and Panton Luas (PL) Village in South Aceh Regency. These two villages are directly adjacent to the tiger habitat. Data collection was carried out through field observations, interviews and focus group discussions. Respondents are experts and people living in conflict areas. The analysis was carried out using SWOT to measure IFAS (strengths and weaknesses) and EFAS (opportunities and threats). The results of the SWOT analysis show the differences in the mitigation strategies of each location. The comparison of IFAS and EFAS values places Timbang Lawan in quadrant III (WO strategy) while Panton Luas in quadrant I (SO strategy).
