Deforestasi dengan skala besar di Sumatera telah mengganggu populasi harimau sumatera. Keberadaan dan kondisi habitat harimau sumatera di Kawasan Ekosistem Leuser (KEL) belum diketahui secara terperinci. Kehadiran harimau sumatera sangat penting untuk menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem namun kini terjadi konflik yang merugikan banyak pihak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan risiko konflik dengan kerapatan vegetasi (NDVI) serta tingkat partisipasi masyarakat di KEL Kabupaten Aceh Selatan. Metode yang digunakan adalah Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) dengan kombinasi pengolahan citra satelit melalui analisis (NDVI). Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif untuk menggambarkan data yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan tabel dan grafik serta data lapangan sebaran konflik dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak ArcGis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat risiko konflik harimau sumatera terdiri dari risiko konflik tinggi di Kecamatan Trumon Tengah, Trumon Timur, Tapak Tuan, Kluet Tengah, serta Meukek dengan persentase sebesar 61.5%. Risiko konflik sedang di Kecamatan Bakongan Timur dan Trumon Tengah sebesar 23,1%. Risiko konflik rendah di Kecamatan Bakongan Timur sebesar 15.4%. Intensitas konflik tertinggi terdapat pada kelas kerapatan vegetasi rendah di Kecamatan Bakongan Timur 7 kasus konflik, dan Kecamatan Trumon Tengah 6 kasus konflik. Intensitas konflik terendah terdapat pada kerapatan vegetasi tinggi di Kecamatan Meukek, Tapaktuan, dan Kluet Tengah masing-masing hanya terdapat 1 kasus konflik. Tingkat partisipasi masyarakat tertinggi terdapat di Desa Koto Kecamatan Kluet Tengah sebesar 76.24%, terendah terdapat di Desa Jambo Dalem Kecamatan Trumon Timur dengan persentase sebesar 31,3%.

Large-scale deforestation in Sumatra has disrupted Sumatran tiger populations. The existence and habitat conditions of Sumatran tigers in the Leuser Ecosystem Area (KEL) are not yet known in detail. The presence of Sumatran tigers is very important to maintain the balance of the ecosystem but now there are conflicts that harm many parties. This study aims to determine the relationship between conflict risk and vegetation density (NDVI) and the level of community participation in KEL South Aceh Regency. The method used is Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) with a combination of satellite image processing through analysis (NDVI). Data analysis was performed descriptively to describe the data obtained using tables and graphs and the conflict spread field data was analyzed using ArcGis software. The results showed that the risk level of Sumatran tiger conflict consisted of high conflict risk in Central Trumon, East Trumon, Tapak Tuan, Central Kluet, and Meukek Districts with a percentage of 61.5%. The risk of moderate conflict in East Bakongan and Central Trumon sub-districts is 23.1%. The risk of conflict is low in East Bakongan sub-district at 15.4%. The highest intensity of conflict was found in the low vegetation density class in East Bakongan District with 7 conflict cases, and Central Trumon District with 6 conflict cases. The lowest conflict intensity was found in the high vegetation density in Meukek, Tapaktuan, and Central Kluet Districts, each of which only had 1 conflict case. The highest level of community participation was found in Koto Village, Central Kluet District, at 76.24%, the lowest was found in Jambo Dalem Village, East Trumon District, with a percentage of 31.3%.
