Kawasan Bernilai Konservasi Tinggi (KBKT) merupakan kawasan yang berperan penting terhadap keseimbangan ekosistem dan kelestarian lingkungan. Dalam konteks kelestarian KBKT, persepsi masyarakat sekitar menjadi kunci utama dalam penerapan upaya pelestarian KBKT. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan pengetahuan mengenai perilaku dan dukungan masyarakat terhadap upaya pelestarian KBKT. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis persepsi masyarakat terhadap keberadaan KBKT di Kalurahan Bleberan, Kapanewon Playen, Gunungkidul. Metode analisis dengan Spearman-rank diterapkan untuk menganalisis korelasi variabel Pengetahuan, keterlibatan, dan dukungan masyarakat serta klasifikasi jasa ekosistem untuk mengetahui variabel manfaat yang diterima dan kerugian yang dirasakan akibat adanya KBKT.

Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa tingkat Pengetahuan masyarakat terhadap kalurahan Bleberan berada pada persentase 87,18%, keterlibatan masyarakat terhadap pengelolaan KBKT sebesar 69,82%, dan dukungan masyarakat terhadap upaya pelestarian KBKT sebesar 71,44%. Berdasarkan analisis interpretasi jumlah skor kuesioner, diperoleh hasil persentase sebesar 76% yang menunjukkan masyarakat menyetujui upaya pelestarian KBKT di Kalurahan Bleberan.
