Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the sustainability of watershed management in the Aesesa Flores (AF) watershed which located in the East Nusa Tenggara Province of Indonesia. There were five dimensions of sustainability used in this study namely: economy ecology social technology and access and governance. The sustainability assessment was done by using the Rapid Appraisal approach that has been tailor made for the AF watershed (RAP-DASAF). The sustainability assessment was done at three different regions which are: upstream middle and downstream region. Data collection was done by primary interview with 127 respondents along with field observations. Each respondent was given questionnaire to assess the corresponding attributes in each dimension. The results from the MDS analysis showed that both the upstream and downstream regions were categorized as Less Sustainable� with the overall (five dimension) sustainability index of 48.52 and 49.13 respectively. The middle region was categorized as Moderate Sustainable�. The MDS analysis also generated 23 attributes that considered to be the sensitive attributes to the sustainability of the AF watershed management. The results from this study are recommended as policy analysis to the regional government in the AF watershed in order to increase the sustainability of the AF watershed.
