Abstract

The sustainability of Kerinci Seblat National Park (TNKS), especially the forest located in the Lebon District, is largely determined by the carrying capacity of surrounding villages. The carrying capacity can be described by the index of population pressure. According to this calculation of the sample villages shows that the population pressures of villages around TNKS were already happening (the average population pressure index is 3.5). This was means that there had been an over population in the majority of the sample villages because of the numbers above 1.00. Population pressure occurs more due to underdeveloped non-farm activities, while the productivity of the farm activities were still relatively low. Based on these facts, the carrying capacity could be increased by improving the application of technology and the creation of the attraction to the area in order to increase the population dynamics.
