    abstract = {Land claims caused the utilization conflicts
because of community occupation to the concession area
permit. Community perception about the claims have
been caused by different interests and using the actors
power. This research is using Convergent Parallel Mixed
Method (CPMM) which is a combination of quantitative
and qualitative data to give a comprehensive analysis. The
results explained that the claims of community in FMU
Meranti were estimated 94,016 ha or 38.53% of the total
area. There are three forms of the claims from the
community, i.e.: full ownership of the land, environmental
cares and economic improvement. Perception of the
community was affected by the different point of views to
utilize the land and the different interests. The power of
actors can influence other actors in the struggle for
utilizing the land in forest areas. The positions of the key
player are actors which have strongly related interest and
hard power to influence the communities, i.e., owner of
the industrial plantation forest (HTI), ecosystem
restoration (RE), government and village heads. The
recommendations are the institutionalization of the village
heads role in governing forest utilization, determining the
users, determining the property rights of withdrawal and
management and determining a contribution of the forest
product provision.}
