The Analysis of Institutional Performance of The Village Conservation Model in Gunung Rinjani National Park

The Village Conservation Model (MDK) is a program focused on empowering communities around the conservation areas. This research aims to analyze the performance of MDK in Gunung Rinjani National Park (TNGR) from the institutional perspective and rights of community access to resources in TNGR. The approach used in this research combines the qualitative and quantitative methods. The result showed that MDK in TNGR both in Santong Village and Pesangrahan Village did not regulate the rights of community access to the resources utilization in TNGR area which has been going on. On the other hand, the institutional structure of MDK also did not regulate the operationalization of MDK implementation such as the monitoring mechanism, the enforcement of a sanction, the benefit-cost sharing and the stakeholder's involvement of MDK implementation. This has implications for the low performance of MDK institution in TNGR. It takes the arrangement of MDK institutional elements such as the boundary of Jurisdiction, Property Right and representative regulation that is expected to adapt to the characteristics of local communities and the interests of other stakeholders.
