III. METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
3.1 Time and Location
Research was conducted between March and October 2010. It consists of process develop method, analysis and reporting. Laboratory work was accomplish
at MIT IPB Research Laboratory, while field works such gathering additional updated data related to method developed took place at Nino Konis Santana
National Park, Timor-Leste.
Figure 1 Map area of study
Administratively, NKSNP is located at Lautem District, the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. It’s covered six villages’ areas, such Com, Bauro,
Mehara, Tutuala, Muapitine and Lore I. It’s lied at coordinates -8

3.2 Data and Tools
In order to fulfill the data required for purposes analysis, an assessment was done on July to September 2009 to explore the ready available data. This
14 work done focused on exploratory of the previous documents during preparation
for proposed the national park, share amount GIS Users. Geographically, Timor-Leste located at UTM Grid Zone 51S and 52S, and
the study area is located at UTM zone 52S. There is no national datum standard setup yet. But, GIS users used the UTM Zone 51S to project the country. A
personal GIS Geodatabase for internal storage and also to perform the integrity of spatial data by conduct basic corrections on the topology errors and re-project the
spatial reference, since there were un-uniform spatial references on spatial data have collected.

3.3 Research Framework
In order to reach objective of the research, a framework has designed to accumulate flows of thinking Figure 2. There are three major essential variables
in designing the zoning, such as ecology, physics and social economic. Research activity covered investigation, analysis processes, option evaluation or synthesis
and the recommendation of to support the decision.
