Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study aims to identify internal factors, namely strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats in managing mangrove areas. Furthermore, identifying internal and external factors is mapped in SWOT Analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threats) and AHP Analysis (Analysis Hierarchy Process) to ensure appropriate management strategies and designs to protect and preserve West Papua mangrove areas. The results showed that the factors resulted in the mangrove area’s management strategy: (1) SO strategy, utilization of regional potential to improve the community’s welfare with a comparative value of 0.550. ( 2) ST strategy, social-cultural value and economic benefits to protecting the region with a comparative value of 0.540. The combination of external factors resulting in regional management strategies are (1) WO strategy, take advantage of government support for the improvement of facilities and infrastructure, provision of human resources managers with a comparative value of 0.540, (2) WT strategy, intervention in providing economic alternatives for local communities with a comparative value of 0.590. Combining various mangrove management strategies is an essential recommendation for the local Government and all parties in managing the West Papua mangrove area. In the future, efforts to preserve mangrove natural resources can be made while maintaining ecological and economic balance.

INTRODUCTION concerning The Management of Protected Areas, it is mentioned that mangrove forested coastal areas are One of the mangrove areas in West Papua is the coastal areas that are natural habitats that serve to protect Oransbari Mangrove Area in South Manokwari coastal and ocean life.

Data Analysis The research was conducted in Oransbari Mangrove Area in South Manokwari Regency. The research time The data was analyzed in 2 stages, namely SWOT lasted for 7 (seven) months, from March 3 to September analysis and continued with AHP. Analysis with SWOT 20, 2016. The area of this area, according to the land is carried out to obtain internal and external factors, then cover map in 2016, is 149.3 Ha with a geographical continued with AHP analysis to weight and position of 0º55’54” - 0º56’33” LS and 134º00’36” - strengthened the strategy formulation obtained through 134º01’15 BT (Figure 1). The data collected consists of SWOT strategy. Furthermore, AHP weighting results are primary data and secondary data. The primary data was used as a result of recommendations for mangrove obtained by semi-structured interviews (using management to weigh priority. questionnaires) to identify critical factors, internal factors and external factors in mangrove management in Oransbari. Respondents included communities around the mangrove area utilizing mangrove resources, regional managers, the Environment Agency of South Manokwari Regency, Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah (Bappeda), the Remu Ransiki River Area Management Agency, Balai Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam (BKSDA) of South Manokwari, the Climate Change Control Agency, fishing groups, universities, and non-governmental organization (NGO). After the internal and external factors are known, focus group discussion (FGD) is carried out to determine the mangrove management strategy agreed by the parties concerned with the Oransbari mangrove area’s existence. In this study, to assess the perception of 264 Advances in Biological Sciences Research, volume 11 Figure 2 Mangrove vegetation in Oransbari Area Figure 3 Utilization of Oransbari mangrove area factors (including sub-factors of strength and weakness) 2.2.1.
