Social network analysis of Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park, Selangor and the implications upon its governance. Community-based management practices stakeholder inclusivity is claimed to be the panacea in overcoming problems and dilemmas in governing ecotourism. Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park (KKFP) in Kuala Selangor faced several complaints from tourists which were hypothesised to be associated with governance of the park. Social network analysis was utilised to identify the key stakeholders within the governance network of managing ecotourism and in understanding the interests and roles of these stakeholders. The network metrics used were number of edges, density, geodesic distance, and degree and betweenness centralities. The network metric and map obtained suggested that the local community boatmen had the highest degree and betweenness centralities in the KKFP social network. Inclusivity, particularly in the fireflies observation boat ride and tour services, had occurred but involvement in the management decision-making held by the district office could be improved. Possible explanations are provided for the dichotomy of findings between the informal power held by the local community boatmen and the formal authority held by the district office in the context of the Malaysian culture and custom. Keywords: Inclusivity, social network map, network metrics, local community participation, degree and betweenness centralities INTRODUCTION Malaysia is blessed with a variety of ecosystems and cultural awareness and respect, provide that include the natural rainforests. However, financial benefits and empowerment to local Malaysia is at risk of losing this priceless natural people and raise sensitivities to the political, asset if economic growth is charted without environmental and social climate of the host conservation initiatives to protect it. Malaysia’s countries (EDGE 2015). Economic Transformation Programme was The merit of including local communities introduced in 2010 to propel the nation in ecotourism development has been reported towards a high income, inclusive and sustainable by many researchers (Bodin & Crona 2009, nation (Prime Minister Department 2015). The Mohd-Ihsan et al. 2010, Mohd-Shahwahid 2012, Economic Transformation Programme focuses Moscardo & Murphy 2014). Local community on 12 national key economic areas, one of is capable of handling different types of which is tourism. Ecotourism has the potential stakeholders in tourism sites. Tourism is best to be developed as an important contributor managed using bottom-up strategy in order to to the nation’s gross domestic product. About avoid manipulation by the local elites. Recent 10% of total tourist arrivals into Malaysia are researchers have found that social network ecotourism-related (Prime Minister Department analysis is effective in overcoming problems and 2015) Ecotourism activities must be nature-based, dilemmas in governing tourism (Folke et al. 2005, have minimal impact, inculcate environmental Ohtsuki et al. 2006). Social network analysis is a © Forest Research Institute Malaysia 490 Journal of Tropical Forest Science 28(4): 490–497 (2016) Mohd-Shahwahid HO et al. process of investigating a social structure such as network ties observed from outside the network the running of a tourism site through an analysis (Borgatti & Li 2009). of its network. A network comprises nodes that Based on these two types of analyses, five represent individual stakeholders involved in the social network analysis network metrics were running of the tourism site. Ties or edges are computed. The first was the total number of specific relationships or interactions that connect edges established between the nodes in the these nodes. Social network analysis can be used network. The second network metric was density by existing formal institutions in encouraging that reported the available number of edges stakeholders to deal with environmental law as a proportion of total possible number the and enforcement (Scholt & Wang 2006). The whole network could achieve. The highest level objectives of this study were to identify the of density was 1 which implied that a network tourism ecosystem, in particular the relevant was fully connected whereby every node had stakeholders, that were playing important roles edges or was connected to all other nodes in the at Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park (KKFP) and network. Hence, a higher density suggested that to understand their interests in the network. An the network was very cohesive. The third network analysis was carried out to determine how the metric was geodesic distance that revealed how interests of these stakeholders had affected the many people had to be informed after which, governance of the park. the information regarding tourism activity at the site would be passed around the network. MATERIALS AND METHODS Geodesic distance gauged the level and speed of information sharing in the network. The Research method, study site and survey shorter the distance the faster the information was relayed. The fourth network metric was There are some key characteristics which degree centrality. Degree centrality focused on differentiate social network analysis from other the number of edges connected between each types of methods usually used in social science node. When a node was connected to a large studies. Social network analysis focuses on the number of other nodes, the node had high relationship between stakeholders which are degree centrality and the more nodes it was termed as nodes and on the implications of connected to, the more central and visible it the patterns of their relations through the use became inside the network (Freeman 1979). of the concepts of centrality (Freeman 1977, The node with a higher degree centrality could 1979) and power (Bonacich 1987). Social enact changes and make decisions to improve network analysis makes use of network analysis the network. The fifth network metric was the and contingency mathematics which belong to betweenness centrality which measured how graph theory. often a node lay on the shortest path between all In resource management there are two combinations of pairs of other nodes (Kim et al. types of analyses on social network (Bodin & 2011).

    MALAYSIA The Kampung Kuantan Firefly Reserve Jamil bin Hamzah and Suzana Mohkeri Wetlands International-Asia Pacific INTRODUCTION Malaysia is comprised of 13 federal states with Kuala Lumpur as the federal capital situated in the Federal Territory. Eleven states are in West Malaysia (also known as Peninsular Malaysia) and two states are situated in Borneo Island. Selangor is one of the most highly developed and urbanized states in Malaysia. However, there are still large areas of forested lands scattered throughout the state either under forest reserves, owned by the state, private companies or private landowners. Since the beginning of civilization rivers have been the most important source of food, water resources and transportation. In Malaysia, human settlement always related or concentrated along the rivers. Sungai Selangor (Selangor River), is one of the main rivers in the state of Selangor. The headwater of Sungai Selangor originates from the highland area of the Titiwangsa Range, which is part of the Main Range, the backbone of Peninsular Malaysia. It is an important source of water supply for domestic and agriculture use and fishing industries for people living along the riverbanks. Sungai Selangor flows mainly through oil palm estates and small villages and it does not pass through any major towns. Thus the riparian vegetation along the riverbanks is still intact. According to a report prepared by the Department of Environment, Sungai Selangor river basin is listed as one of the two cleanest rivers in Selangor (Environmental Quality Report, 1996). This river is highlighted here not because of its important food and water resources but of its ecotourism factor.
