Summary: | The function of the Tarakan Island Protected Forest (HLPT) continues to undergo pressure by conflicts that have an impact on its existence and potentially cause a clean water crisis for the people of Tarakan City. Forestry partnership as a conflict resolution effort, in its implementation, requires an evaluation in the form of an assessment to see the conditions of the ongoing partnership. The research objective was to evaluate the implementation of forestry partnerships in HLPT. The research was carried out in 2020 at the Tarakan Forest Management Unit (KPH Tarakan) HLPT with a focus on Association of Forest Farmers Group (Gapoktanhut) and Regional Technical Implementation Unit – Tarakan Forest Management Unit (UPTD KPH Tarakan). The collection of data/information was carried out through interviews, FGDs, and documentation studies with qualitative descriptive analysis. Implementation evaluation of the forestry partnership in HLPT is carried out on aspects of land management, institutions, human resource capacity of the community, and the UPTD KPH Tarakan as well as monitoring and evaluation. All aspects with their indicators show the gap between the current condition and the expected ideal condition. Strengthening and mentoring need to be done to achieve the objectives of the forestry partnership in HLPT.
