Abstract

Ecotourism development can not be separated from the social aspects of the people living around the tourist sites.

The variables used in this study are: community characteristics, perceptions, norms, patterns of social relationships, and trust. From the research, the variables that have a dominant influence on the level of participation in the management of mangrove Cengkrong is variable of perceptions, norms, and trusts with the value of the effect size, respectively for 0.098, 0.204, and 0.431.
