Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Pengelolaan Mangrove (Community Participation in Mangrove Management)

Community participation has an important role in mangrove management because the community is the front guard in maintaining the sustainability of mangroves. This study aims to determine the level and type of participation of Kelompok Paguyuban Peduli Lingkungan (a mangrove group). The research was conducted in January-February 2018 in Sidodadi Village, Teluk Pandan Subdistrict, Pesawaran District, Lampung Province. Data obtained through in-depth and structured interviews were then analyzed qualitatively using Arstein and Hobley Theory. The results show that community participation is at the level of therapeutic participation and the type of passive participation. The involvement of various parties in the planning stage to implementation is needed to encourage increased community participation.Keyword: community participation, level of participation, mangrove, type of participatio
