Reconciling livelihoods and conservation aspects in rattan utilization is an intricate problem. To shed light on possible solutions, this study analyzed multiple scenarios using system dynamics models for balancing the ecological and economic sustainability of rattan harvesting in the Lore Lindu National Park. The system dynamics models were developed from the rattan inventory and collected socio-economic data. The analysis was performed using three scenarios: the current harvesting practice; sustainable harvesting without restocking; and sustainable harvesting with restocking. It was found that reconciling livelihoods with conservation could be best achieved under the third scenario. Further, the reconciliation will be best achieved through allocating a specific rattan utilization area, deciding the harvesting quota, determining the number of harvesters, proposing a reasonable price, and restocking rattan for optimizing income and a sustainable rattan population. To realize this condition, it will be necessary to develop a local institution to manage rattan in Lore Lindu National Park. These results also support a policy to give access of forest-dependent communities for utilizing rattan in protected areas as long as this is aligned with conservation strategies.

在藤制利用中协调生计和保护方面是一个复杂的问题。为了阐明可能的解决方案，本研究使用系统动力学模型分析了多种情况，以平衡林杜国家公园藤本植物收获的生态和经济可持续性。系统动力学模型是从藤编清单中开发出来的，并收集了社会经济数据。分析使用以下三种方案进行：当前的收割方法；可持续收获而无需补充库存；通过补货实现可持续的收割。人们发现，在第三种情况下，实现生计与保护的协调是最好的。此外，通过分配特定的藤条利用区域，确定收获配额，确定收割机的数量，提出合理的价格，并重新供应藤条以优化收入和可持续的藤条种群。为了实现这一条件，有必要在林雷杜国家公园建立一个地方机构来管理藤条。这些结果还支持一项政策，即只要符合保护策略，就可以使依赖森林的社区能够在保护区利用藤条。
