Balai Raja wildlife reserve is a wildlife reserve area in Riau Province. This area was designated as a wildlife reserve area through Minister of Forestry Decree No. 173 / Kpts-II / 1986 dated June 6, 1986 with an area of ± 18,000 hectares and was determined by the Minister of Forestry based on the Decree of the Minister of Forestry Number 3978 / Menhut-VII / KUH / 2014 dated May 23, 2014 with an area of 15,343.95 hectares located in Mandau District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. The designation of Balai Raja became a wildlife reserve because in that area it was the habitat of the Sumatran Elephant. Balai Raja wildlife reserve area has been damaged due to human activities in the form of encroachment, land control by many parties and there are still companies that existed before the Balai Raja area was designated as a wildlife reserve. The area of Balai Raja wildlife reserve Area in 1986 was ± 18,000 hectares and currently only ± 200 hectares (BBKSDA Riau, 2014).
One of the factors causing changes in land cover is the socioeconomic factor of the community that is related to the needs of human life, especially the community around the area. Other factors causing changes in land cover are population growth, livelihoods, accessibility and life support facilities and government policies. Population growth is quite high and the need for large land from the community around the Balai Raja wildlife reserve area results in enormous pressure on the area. In response to these conditions, it is necessary to conduct research on "Management Strategy of Balai Raja wildlife reserve Based on Covering Area". The purpose of this study was to identify activities (communities, companies, and government) that caused changes covering area at Balai Balai wildlife reserve, analyze changes covering area at Balai Raja wildlife reserve for 25 years (time series 1990, 2000, 2011, 2015), and design a Balai Raja wildlife reserve area management strategy based on land cover changes.
The study was conducted from May 2017 to July 2017 through a survey method. To observe the activities of the community, the company and the local government, direct observation was carried out accompanied by interviews and documentation. Identifying changes in land cover that occurred were carried out an analysis of land cover maps in 1990, 2000, 2011 and 2015 using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The preparation of the Balai Balai wildlife reserve Management strategy uses a SWOT analysis, in which decisions are made to identify and analyze internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors (opportunities and threats).
The results showed that the causes of land cover change were: 1) community activities by opening land for rubber, palm oil and agricultural plantations, 2) local government activities with the development of local government agencies, school buildings, health service buildings and the entrance gate of the campsite and 3) activities of petroleum and gas companies, where

The value of the internal strength factor is 1.364 and the weakness factor is 0.964 so that the difference is 0.40. The value of the external factor of opportunity is 1.591 and the threat factor is 0.780 with a difference of 0.811, a diagram is made where the position of the encounter in quadrant I is in an aggressive position, so that it can continue to carry out expansion, increase growth and achieve maximum progress.
