Abstract
So far, the conservation efforts have been predominantly carried out by the government without involving the local community. Meanwhile, society is one of the causes of damages and changes to the conditions of the original environment of the Putri dan Harimau cave as prehistoric cave complex resulted from the absence of their bound and sense of belonging to the archaeological resources. The purpose of this study is to set up a prevention strategy for the Prehistoric Cave Complex of Desa Padang Bindu by involving the community as an integral part of this conservation strategy. So the efforts to prevent the damage that occurred during all this time can be realized. In addition, the results of this study are expected to create the sustainability of the prehistoric caves and the environment in association with the development and growth of the society. The data collection methods used in this research include literature reviews, observation, interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data analysis includes analysis of factors that cause damage and community interests. The final stage is the formulation of the form of community involvement in conservation activities. Based on the data acquired regarding appreciation and position, interests and desires of the community, So it can formulate a form of a conservation strategy that puts the community as a stakeholder. The result shows that the damage occurs in Princes cave and Harimau Cave of Padang Bindu village caused by natural and human factors which consist of various activities undertaken by local communities such as the communities who cut trees, doing search for swallow nests and bat droppings, as well forest burnings that negatively impact the preservation of prehistoric caves in Padang Bindu Village. Another threat is mining limestone and rocks. The damage caused by human activity shows that there is no public awareness of Padang Bindu Village towards archaeological remains and their environment. In addition, the level of understanding of Padang Bindu villagers to the world of archeology is minimal, yet they have a desire to get involved in conservation efforts undertaken in Desa Padang Bindu Prehistoric Caves Complex.
