<b></i>Abstract :</b><i><p align=\"justify\"> <br /> The trend of land conversion in the buffer zone became a threat for existence of Bukit Tigapuluh National Park (BTNP). The objective of this research was to know the pattern of the conversion of the forest in the buffer zone BTNP for plantations and farms. The research took place in the village of Sungai Akar, subdistrict Seberida which was passed by Lintas Timur Sumatera main roads, in 1998 (July - September) and 1999 (July - August ). The analysis of the pattern of forest conversion was based on satellite image in 1993 and 1996. Descriptive analysis was used to find the image of sosio-economics development of people, while land evaluation was used to obtain the degre of land suitability for plantation and farm of people. The result showed that the start of land conversion in the buffer zone for plantations and farm was linear along the Lintas Timur main roads and further conversion moved toward TNBT. Total area converted in 1993 is 54.67 ha and 311.80 ha in 1996. The area of productive land owned by a family on avarage was 1.74 ha. The buffer zone was still facing a threat of land conversion since the number of family that do not posses productive land was still large (48%) and population growth rate was large (3.5%/years). The proposed Zonation was based on the degree of land suitability and the skill of activities required by different plant in the buffer zone. The proposed zonation include rubber plantation, rice field and palm plantation.<br />
