Abstract Sustainability is currently a global issue, population growth and damage to natural resources, and environmental quality issues. This study will evaluate the sustainability of Belawan watershed management to develop sustainable watershed management planning. Watershed sustainability evaluation uses the MDS approach with rapfish (Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries) program modification to 5 dimensions and 42 attributes. From the assessment, the sustainability status of the Belawan watershed for ecological, economic, social culture, institution and legal dimensions is less sustainable. In contrast,the level of technology dimension is not sustainable. With the scenario of moderate improvement obtained, the status of sustainability ecological dimension, economic dimension, social culture dimension, and institutions legal dimension are reasonably sustainable.In contrast,the technology dimension is less sustainable. For optimistic improvement scenarios, all dimensions are reasonably sustainable. Sustainable watershed management needs to be done in an integrated manner that covers all institutions and related stakeholders.

Babon Watershed (DAS) is one of the watersheds which one located are Central Java. It has been used as a source of raw water for agriculture, industry, drinking water and other household needs. That needs to be assessed the level of sustainability in watershed management of the raw water. This study aims to analyze the sustainability index and the status of management of raw water from the three dimensions of sustainability. Analysis methods used “multidimensional scaling” (MDS) called Rap WARESMA. The results are expressed in index form and the status of sustainability. The analysis showed that the ecological dimension ofsustainability are at less status (26.54%), dimension less sustainable economicstatus (43.18%) and socio-cultural dimension to the status of sustainable enough(50.83%). Of the 30 attributes that were analyzed contained 15 attributes influencing sensitive to the index and the status of sustainability with a verysmall error at 95% confidence level.keywords: watershed, multidimensional scaling, water, sustainability watershed management

Maluku merupakan propinsi kepulauan dengan potensi sumberdaya perikanan tangkap yang besar. Potensi tersebut meliputi kelompok jenis ikan pelagis besar seperti tuna dan cakalang, pelagis kecil, demersal, udang, cumi-cumi dan ikan karang. Hal tersebut mendorong pemerintah menjadikan wilayah Maluku menjadi lumbung ikan nasional (M-LIN). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis status kesiapan Maluku sebagai lumbung ikan nasional. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) dala bentuk RAP-MLIN (Rapid Appraisal for Maluku as ‘Lumbung Ikan Nasional’) yang merupakan modifikasi dari software RAPFISH (Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries). Hasil analisisnya dinyatakan dalam bentuk indeks dan kesiapan program tersebut. Analisis leverage dan Monte-Carlo digunakan untuk mengetahui faktor pengungkit yang merupakan atribut-atribut yang sensitif terhadap indeks dan status kesiapan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada dimensi ekologi statusnya cukup siap (50,33%), dimensi ekonomi cukup siap (67,62%), dimensi sosial siap (92,37%), dimensi teknologi siap (99,90%), dimensi infrastruktur cukup siap (70,56%), dan dimensi kelembagaan dan kebijakan siap (86,26%). Dari 47 atribut yang dianalisis, terdapat 18 atribut yang merupakan faktor pengungkit terhadap indeks dan status kesiapan, sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya perbaikan atau intervensi terhadap atribut-atribut tersebut. Dengan melakukan intervensi terhadap 18 faktor tersebut diharapkan dapat meningkatkan status kesiapan Maluku sebagai Lumbung Ikan Nasional ke tingkat yang lebih siap.(Evaluation of Readiness for Maluku as “Lumbung Ikan Nasional”)Maluku is an archipilagic province with large potential for fisheries resources including pelagic groups such as tuna and skipjack tuna, small pelagic, demersal, shrimp, squid and reef fish. This situation encourages the government to establish Maluku as “Lumbung Ikan Nasional (M-LIN)”. This study aimed to analyze the status of readiness of Maluku as “Lumbung Ikan Nasional”. Analytical method was used Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) which is so called RAP-MLIN (Rapid Appraisal for Maluku as Lumbung Ikan Nasional) which is a modification of the software RAPFISH (Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries). Analysis results expressed in terms of index and status of program readiness. Leverage and Monte Carlo analysis was used to determine attributes that are sensitive to the index and readiness status. Results showed that the ecological dimension was quite ready status (50.33%), the economic dimension was quite ready (67.62%), the social dimension ready (92.37%), the dimensions of the technology is ready (99.90%), the dimensions of the infrastructure was quite ready (70.56%), and the institutional and policy dimensions were ready (86.26%). Of the 47 attributes to be analyzed, there were 18 attributes enter during to factor of the index and the readiness status of the project, so that improvement and precise intervention can be made. With those intervention the implementation of Maluku as ‘Lumbung Ikan Nasional’ can be ensured.

Sustainability of the Cocos Nucifera’s High Production Block (HPB) in Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. Jambi Province is threatened by falling coconut prices. It influences the farmer's interest to do replanting and use certified seeds produced by HPB. The evaluation of HPB not only base on the economic dimension, but it should also accommodate broader dimensions. The purpose of the study is to analyze the sustainability of HPB. Primary data were obtained from observations, focus group discussions, and interviews with 20 respondents of HPB plantation owners, while secondary data were obtained from Statistics office and government agencies. The existing condition of the HPB was analyzed by comparing it with the standard of HPB and selected parent trees issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. Analyzing of HPB sustainability used a modified Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) Rapfish for coconut, then called Rap-ProBlock (The Rapid Appraisal of the Status of Cocos Nucifera's High Producing Block). The results showed that the sustainability indexes were sufficient and good for the social (64.18) and ecological (85.69) dimensions, the economic and technological dimensions had less sustainability (34.76 and 32.58), and the legal/institutional dimension was poor (9. 16). On a multi-dimensional basis, HPB sustainability was lacked (40.30). The recommended policies based on this research results among others are i.e. issuing the Local Regulation on Cocos Nucifera, establishing the Warehouse Receipt System which guarantees farmers a fair price, and, involving village enterprise to build coconut business units.

West Sumba is one of the regencies in Sumba island province of East Nusa Tenggara. Horticulture is a popular agricultural product there. The market potential for horticultural commodities in West Sumba is quite large but its production is still low. For this reason, the research was conducted with the aim of (1) knowing the sustainability status of horticultural agribusiness in West Sumba and (2) knowing the dominant attributes affecting the sustainability status of horticultural agribusiness development in the region. This is interesting to be examined since the sustainability is related to the ability of an area to increase production in the agricultural sector including the horticulture sub-sector. This study used the Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) analysis method, which is modification of the Rapid Appraisal of the Status of Farming (RAP-farm) method. MDS analysis results show that (1) West Sumba Regency is in a fairly sustainable status for social and institutional dimensions while for the dimensions of ecology, economics and technology are in a less sustainable status and (2) the dominant attributes affecting each dimension are (a ) the ecological dimension is affected by the level of land slope and the level of erosion that occurs; (b) the economic dimension is affected by the management of horticultural products, the contribution to income per capita;  (c) the social dimension is influenced by the existence of horticultural households and of government services; (d) technological dimensions by soil and water conservation technology and the application of technology; (e) the institutional dimension is influenced by conflicts between farmer groups, the availability of marketing institutions and the number of agricultural extension instructor.

Abstract. Narendra BH, Widiatmaka, Kusmana C, Karlinasari L, Machfud. 2019. Multi-dimensional rapid appraisal technique for evaluating the sustainability of energy plantation forests in East Lombok District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1027-1033. The increased use of woody biomass as a renewable energy source should be supported by development of sustainable energy plantation forest. This study aims to evaluate the sustainability status of energy plantation forest in East Lombok District and to determine the leverage attributes affecting sustainability. The evaluation was carried out using rapid appraisal approach, consisting of multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) analysis to provide sustainability indices for ecological, economic and social dimensions, followed by Monte Carlo simulation to define the validity. Dominant attributes affecting the sustainability were assessed by sensitivity analysis. All analyses were executed using the R software. The evaluation of eight locations generally results in a quite sustainable status for ecological, social, and economic dimensions with the validity index values of 72.73%, 61.07%, and 58.49%, respectively. To maintain or enhance sustainability, some leverage attributes need to be prioritized for policy intervention. In the ecological dimension, increasing species diversity using some potential energy woody species should be prioritized. In the social dimension, optimizing the role and capability of forest farmer groups and their members is needed, while for the economic dimension, government should support the expanding area of energy plantation forest managed by each farmer.

Made In

The status quo within international politics is that individual nation-states enjoy extensive and for the most part exclusive rights over the resources falling within their borders. Egalitarians have often assumed that such a situation cannot be defended, but perhaps some sophisticated defences of state or national rights over natural resources which have been made in recent years prove otherwise. This chapter critically assesses these various arguments, and shows that they are not sufficient to justify the institution of ‘permanent sovereignty’ over resources. Even insofar as those arguments have some weight, they are compatible with a significant dispersal of resource rights away from individual nation-states, both downwards towards local communities, and upwards towards transnational and global agencies.

Environmental hazards are not considered a national problem that stops at the state’s borders only, but has become a regional and global issue that poses a direct threat to human survival all over the world as a whole. It requires the global community to provide environmental human rights and all the ingredients for sustainable development, especially clean air, clean fresh water, healthy food, and preserving natural resources for future generations. The water problem topped the list of environmental threats, as most countries of the world suffer from a severe shortage of water levels, diminishing the share of each person in the limited quantities of water, and today the world's countries and governments fear unending regional wars due to water, and the conflict over its sources, and the sources of rivers. Therefore, the issue of water has taken on a global character, and the complete conviction that water is the first problem that will face our future generations. he water war between the riparian states is a real war, and it will continue and happen inevitably. In the World Water Forum held in Istanbul in 2009, which showed that 260 water basins are shared by two or more countries, around which 40% of the world's population live, and there are hundreds of shared groundwater basins, for example there are fourteen countries that share a river The European Danube, eleven countries share each of the Nile and Niger rivers, nine countries share the Amazon River, and four countries share the Tigris and Euphrates, and the same is the Jordan River. Differences arose between the participating countries over the sources and the distribution of water between them for a long time, and sometimes reached the stage of acute conflicts and crises, and their intensity increased day after day. Dozens of international treaties have not resolved these differences, as disputes have not stopped after the conclusion of approximately 145 international treaties, and the reason for this is the absence of cooperation between these countries, the scarcity of rainwater, and the thinking of each country in isolation from the interests and peoples of other countries with which they share river water.

Selection Of

One of the main goals of any (sustainability) indicator should be the communication of a clear, unambiguous, and simplified message about the status of the analyzed system. The selected indicator is expected to declare explicitly how its numerical value depicts a situation, for example, positive or negative, sustainable or unsustainable, especially when a comparison among similar or competitive systems is performed. This aspect should be a primary and discriminating issue when the selection of a set of opportune indicators is operated. The Ecological Footprint (EF) has become one of the most popular and widely used sustainability indicators. It is a resource accounting method with an area based metric in which the units of measure are global hectares or hectares with world average bio-productivity. Its main goal is to underline the link between the (un)sustainability level of a product, a system, an activity or a population life style, with the land demand for providing goods, energy, and ecological services needed to sustain that product, system, activity, or population. Therefore, the traditional rationale behind the message of EF is: the larger EF value, the larger environmental impact in terms of resources use, the lower position in the sustainability rank. The aim of this paper was to investigate if this rationale is everywhere opportune and unambiguous, or if sometimes its use requires paying a special attention. Then, a three-dimensional modification of the classical EF framework for the sustainability evaluation of a product has been proposed following a previous work by Niccolucci and co-authors (2009). Finally, the potentialities of the model have been tested by using a case study from the agricultural context.
