摘要：AbstractBuffer zones are necessary to safeguard the protected areas by filtering out adverse influences and ensuring a healthy protected area. This study analyzed the stakeholders’ perceptions towards the potential implementation of buffer zones of the Tasek Bera wetland. The main objectives are, to determine the stakeholders’ understanding about the buffer zones and to identify issues and potentials towards the implementation. The data was based on in-depth interviews on six selected stakeholders of protected areas and buffer zones. This study confirmed that all stakeholders agreed on the importance of buffer zones, but the potential implementation was unsuccessful due to disagreement on management and implementation between stakeholders.
