- Abstract
One of the important aspects in the development of mangrove ecotourism is the status of land ownership that is clear and free from disputes. This information is important to reduce and prevent social conflict when utilizing mangrove ecosystems for the development of mangrove ecotourism in the future. Spatial mapping of land tenure has been carried out in 7 locations on Bintan Island which is spread across Bintan Regency and Tanjungpinang City. In Bintan Regency there are 4 villages that become a research area, which is Tembeling Village, Busung Village, Penaga Village, and Pengudang Village. Meanwhile in Tanjungpinang City thera are 3 research areas namely Senggarang, Kampung Bugis, and Dompak. The method used in this research is a participatory approach using community local knowledge. Data was collected through in-depth interview and focus group discussion (FGD), and visualized spatially using Geographic Information System (GIS). The results of the study showed that the land tenure of mangrove forests in 7 locations of the research area was owned by several stakeholders which are the government, communities, and corporates. But the extent of land ownership in the mangrove area is different between the three parties in each location. In Pengudang Village, 90% of 45.9 ha of land are owned by the private sector. The community can only use the land without being able to own it. On the other hand, in Busung and Penaga Villages, 100% of mangrove forest is controlled by the community with an area of 166.41 ha and 449.86 ha, respectively. In Tembeling Village, 64% of 1896.12 ha of mangrove forest is controlled by the community, 32% is controlled by the local government, and only 0.5% that is controlled by the private sectors. The form of land tenure from the private sector is usually in the form of plantation use rights. Meanwhile, by the community, the form of the land tenure for mangrove forest is community forestry. And by the government, the form of the land tenure is in the form of protected forest.
