Note: The model (225 km2) was built to determine boundary delineation and resource within the park enclave of Drang Phok.

Depicted data reflect the cognitive maps of village elders and village chief, representatives from the Forest Protection Department of Yok Don National Park, Agriculture and Rural Development Office, Tay Nguyen University, Commune and District government, Krong Na Extension Club.

Yok Don National Park was established on 20 October 1991 in Buon Don District of Dak Lak Province. The aim was long-term protection of an area of 58,200 hectares, 92% of which is covered with dry deciduous forest, making it the only national park in Viet Nam conserving this particular forest type.

Subsequent scientific research proposed the expansion of the park to the north to include further areas of biological importance. As a consequence on 18 March 2002 the boundary was redefined to include the village of Drang Phok, which has been inhabited for more than a century.

A tentative agreement was reached on delineation. Verification of understanding of the various implications needed. Tentative agreement is not legal, but basis for further discussion. A common understanding of the broad development approach of the enclave has also been reached. To be developed further in a village development plan.
