Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango merupakan salah satu bentuk upaya terhadap konservasi yang mempunyai fungsi dan peran penting sebagai perlindungan sistem penyangga kehidupan dan pelestarian keanekaragaman hayati beserta ekosistemnya, yang telah ditetapkan oleh Menteri Pertanian pada tanggal 6 Maret 1980.
Dalam undang-undang nomor 5 tahun 1990 tentang konservasi sumber daya alam hayati dan ekosistemnya didefinisikan sebagai kawasan pelestarian alam yang mempunyai ekosistem asli dikelola dengan sisters zoning yang telah dideklarasikan pada The IV th World Congres on National Park and Protected Area di Caracas, Venezuela 1992.
Penelitian dengan judul "Sebaran Wilayah Berpotensi Rawan Perambahan Di Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango Dan Sekitarnya" bertujuan ingin mengkaji perubahan spatial terhadap kondisi wilayah yang telah ditentukan menurut hukum yang secara formal (legal) maupun yang terjadi saat ini berkembang.
Adanya penetapan suatu daerah Taman Nasional sering menimbulkan konflik antara masyarakat sekitar dengan pihak pengelola, untuk mengurangi gangguan tersebut perlu adanya pengaturan yang memadai untuk kehidupan masyarakat serta pengetahuan tentang pentingnya kawasan hutan/ Taman Nasional sebagai penyangga kehidupan masyarakat sekitar.
Sasaran yang ingin dicapai secara umum memberikan kerangka pendekatan yang dapat mengakomodasikan kepentingan sosial masyarakat disekitar bufferzone Taman nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango.
Secara singkat perrmasalahan yang muncul dalam study ini adalah "bagaimana sebaran wilayah rawan rambah Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango, baik menurut kebijakan Pemerintah maupun keberadaan (existing) penggesarannya?" selanjutnya, pertanyaan lainnya adalah "dimana wilayah yang berpotensl rawan rambah ?".
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa diperoleh perubahan spatial penggunaan lahan yang secara fisik rawan rambah terdapat diwilayah bagian utara TNGGP pada Kabupaten Bogor khususnya di kecamatan Caringin, Megamendung dan Ciawi. Sedangkan Kabupaten Sukabumi adanya penambahan areal kawasan hutan khususnya di Kecamatan Cisaat.

a Distribution Which is Potential to be Encroached in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park and Its Surrounding.Gunung Gede-Pangrango National Park has been determined as a National Park by the Ministry of Agriculture in 1980. As a conservation area, the National Park has its function as a protection of livelihood buffer system and sustainability biodiversity including its ecosystem.
According to law no. 5/1990 concerning Conservation of Natural Resources and Biodiversity with its ecosystem, it has been defined that as a nature reserve area which has natural and original ecosystem, the area should be managed by zoning system such as being declared by the IV th World Congress on National Park and Protected area in Caracas, Venezuela 1992.
The Research on :"Area Distribution which is potential to be encroached in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park and its surrounding:, has objective to analyze the spatial change of area condition which has been defined based on legal and formal law or based on situational condition.
By declaring the area as a National Park, it has caused conflict between community surrounding the area and the management site. To minimize the conflict, it is needed a standard regulation for a community livelihood and a knowledge on how important is the forest area/National park as a buffer for livelihood of the community.
The general objective is to give a framework of approach which could accommodate social communities' needs in the buffer zone of Gunung Gede-Pangrango National Park.
In Brief, the problem rise on this study is about "How is the distribution pattern of the area potential to be encroached in Gunung Gede-Pangrango, either based on the Government policy or by the existing movement?" and the next question is : "Where is the area potentially being encroached?"
Result of the study showed that there has a spatial change in using area that physically potential being encroached. The areas are located within the North Part of Gunung Gede-Pangrango National Park that is in Bogor District especially in Caringin Regency, Megamendung and Ciawi.
