Abstract
Lake Rawapening is one of the 15 lakes prioritized under Presidential Regulation No. 60 of 2021, is experiencing considerable environmental degradation owing to sedimentation, jeopardizing water depth, quality, and ecosystem viability. This study evaluates the sustainability of sediment exploitation in Lake Rawapening, concentrating on ecological, economic, socio-cultural, technological, institutional, and infrastructural aspects. The qualitative survey had 36 participants (18 key informants, 15 primary informants, and 3 supplementary informants) and employed Multi Aspect Sustainability analysis via focus group talks and questionnaires addressing 22 qualities across essential dimensions. The findings indicate that the environmental dimension possesses a sustainability index of 66.67%, with the social dimension exerting the greatest influence at 68.75%, followed by the economic dimension at 56.25%, the legal and institutional dimension at 39.29%, and the infrastructure and technology dimension at 31.25%. This study identifies 11 leverage attributes that significantly influence the sustainability of sediment utilization: socialization and education, occupational safety, product market value, water contamination, data management, infrastructure availability, distribution systems, policy availability, regulatory compliance, legal management extension, and sanction systems.
