Pentahelix collaboration on environmental perspective: Handling underdeveloped villages in conservation forests

Abstract

This research is motivated by the empirical fact that there are still many underdeveloped and very underdeveloped villages in Kampar District. This research discusses two main things: first, why are there still underdeveloped and very underdeveloped villages in Kampar Regency, and second, how are underdeveloped villages in Kampar Regency handled from a Penta helix perspective? Village backwardness can be overcome with a development strategy that is carried out in an integrated manner by emphasizing investment and cooperation from various actors, namely government actors from multiple levels and different local actors such as the private sector and NGOs. The empirical phenomenon shows that the number of underdeveloped and very underdeveloped villages in Riau Province, especially in Kampar Regency, is still the highest compared to other regions in Riau Province. Requires the design of policy issues and Penta helix collaboration models in collaborative handling efforts, considering not only economic, social, and environmental aspects but also village development that is in line with the Bukit Rimbang and Bukit Baling Conservation Forest Management Units (KPHK) in Kampar District.
