description Most of National Parks in Indonesia have their problems related to human existence in conservation area. Since its establishment, there has been a conflict between Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) with the surrounding communities. In the BBSNP, there have been acts of illegal landusage where it is commonly referred as forest encroachment. Forest encroachment in Tirom village is becoming interesting to study because it needs more complicated handling compared to other villages. This study aims to reveal the factors led to forest encroachment action by people of Tirom village, Pematang Sawa sub-district, Tanggamus District. This social research used descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods to test the legal land ownership factors and people income as factors affecting forest encroachment action. In this method, respondents were chosen purposively and interview was conducted deeply (in-depth interview) on each respondent. Based on the results of in-depth interviews it is concluded that there are several socio-economic problems experienced by the Tirom village including low income, limited sources of livelihood, and low capacity of communities in managing small areas. Based on regression analysis resultsit was shown that there is no strong relationship between the act of appropriation (as seen from the encroachment of land area) with revenues and private land ownership. This study also shows that there are other factors (beside income and private land ownership factors) that led to forest encroachment by the Tirom Village communities. These other factors need to be tested through further research.
