ENVIRONMENTAL INSTITUTION IMPROVEMENT USING INTERPRETATIVE STRUCTURAL MODELING (ISM) TECHNIQUES IN LORE LINDU NATIONAL PARK (LLNP), CENTRAL OF SULAWESI PROVINCE-INDONESIA

This study aims to analyze the institutional capacity building of the Lore Lindu National Park, determine the objective mechanisms and constraints for the development of the Lore Lindu National Park, and design alternative designs for the LLNP institution. The research data were obtained by conducting interviews, observation, and focus group discussions using the Structural Interpretation Modeling analysis technique used to formulate institutional alternatives in the future. The results of the institutional analysis show that the key element in the Lore Lindu National Park management program is the Lore Lindu National Park Hall, which is a sub-driving element at the first level in the hierarchical structure and requires support from stakeholders and local government, especially traditional leaders and community leaders. The main obstacle to LLNP management, which is a key element, is the massive illegal clearing of land in LLNP, weak monitoring and control of illegal activities in LLNP, and lack of coordination and integration of natural resource management among stakeholders related to LLNP management. The results of the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) analysis are expected between stakeholders, ministerial agencies, and local governments to guarantee partnerships for the sustainability of the Lore Lindu National Park not only for now but also for the future.
