Abstract

Tesso Nilo National Park (TNNP) is a state-protected tropical rainforest national park. This study aims to determine the communication patterns used by national park managers with the community regarding forest protection in the Tesso Nilo National Park area. The method used in this study was a qualitative case study approach. Primary data collection was through in-depth interviews with national park officials and the community. The results showed that the TNNP Office implemented linear and circular communication patterns to communicate with the surrounding forest area community. The two-way circular communication was more effective because it created a feedback process between the TNNP Office and the community. In practice, primary channels were used through outreach activities and dialogue with the community. A more inclusive and dialogical communication approach can increase community participation in forest protection. Regarding media, secondary channels considered adequate were social media, especially Instagram, compared to conventional media such as print and electronic media.
