Suistanability Status Of The Mangrove Ecosystem In The Coastal Area Of Mendahara District, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency

Determinants of Low Birth Weight in Indonesian

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystem have a complex functions including ecological functions and economic,
socio-cultural functions. This ecosystem has unique resources and is vulnerable to habitat
degradation. Decreased habitat quality and area area usually occurs due to several factors.
These factors can come from natural factors and human activity factors. Natural factors that
affect habitat degradation include accretion, abrasion, and sedimentation. Habitat degradation
factors that come from human activities include encroachment, illegal logging, coastal
development, and the creation of ponds. The mangrove area on the coast of Mendahara
District, East Tanjung Jabung Regency was identified as experiencing habitat degradation.
The goals of this research are to assess the sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem in
the coastal area of Mendahara District, East Tanjung Jabung Regency, and to conduct
a leverage analysis on the sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem in the coastal area of
Mendahara District, East Tanjung Jabung Regency. Four dimensions—environmental,
economic, social, and institutional—are analyzed using the RAPFISH technique. It will be
validated using the Monte Carlo approach in order to calculate the stress value and R2
value after it has been evaluated. The leverage analysis method is used to identify key
characteristics. According to the analysis of this study, the mangrove ecosystem in the
coastal region of Mendahara District, East Tanjung Jabung Regency, is reasonably
sustainable in the institutional, ecological, and economic dimensions, but less so in the social
dimension. The leverage analysis of 36 attributes revealed 7 sensitive attributes that have an
impact on the sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem in the coastal region of Mendahara
District, East Tanjung Jabung Regency. The seven sensitive features that were found are
the diversity of fauna, changes in coastlines, the availability of government funds,
government help, community management of mangroves, social conflict, and law
enforcement.
