[ABSTRAK
Tesis ini membahas tentang peran Balai Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai dan partisipasi masyarakat Desa Cisantana dalam pengelolaan Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai, serta persepsi masyarakat terhadap pengelolaan TNGC dikaitkan dengan ketahanan daerah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalah BTNGC telah melaksanakan tugas dan program kegiatan yang melibatkan masyarakat Desa Cisantana dengan optimal. Sementara itu, masyarakat Desa Cisantana merasa belum dilibatkan sepenuhnya dalam pengelolaan TNGC sehingga belum merasakan manfaat dari keberadaan TNGC. Perbedaan persepsi antara masyarakat Desa Cisantana dan pemerintah/BTNGC, berpotensi menimbulkan konflik kepentingan sehingga akan menggangu ketahanan daerah. Karena itu pemerintah perlu mengambil kebijakan yang dapat menyatukan persepsi keberadaan TNGC dan mencari solusi pengelolaan partisipatif bagi masyarakat yang terkena dampak penetapan kawasan TNGC.

ABSTRACT
This thesis discusses the role of the National Park of Mount Ciremai and the participation of Cisantana community in the management of the Ciremai Mountain National Park, also the perception of community on TNGC management associated with regional resilience. This study used a qualitative approach. The result obtained from this study is BTNGC has undertaken an optimal task and program activities involving Cisantana community. Meanwhile, Cisantana community has not been fully involved in the TNGC management, so it has not felt any benefit from the presence of TNGC. The difference perception between Cisantana community and the government/BTNGC, has the potential to create conflict of interest that would interfere with regional resilience. Therefore, the government needs to adopt policies that can unify the perception of the existence of TNGC and look for participatory management solutions for communities affected by the determination of TNGC region;This thesis discusses the role of the National Park of Mount Ciremai and the participation of Cisantana community in the management of the Ciremai Mountain National Park, also the perception of community on TNGC management associated with regional resilience.
