Natural resources are vital for sustainable development and the livelihood sustainability of nations. However, environmental crises persist, posing threats to sustainability. Unsustainable management of natural resources not only damages the environment but also causes economic losses. Effective natural resource management aims to optimize ecosystem functions and benefits, ensuring sustainability. Mangrove ecosystems, crucial for coastal areas, face pressures from human activities and climate change. Ecotourism emerges as a conservation strategy, offering economic benefits while preserving the environment. Yet, ecotourism development in mangrove areas encounters challenges, necessitating a collaborative-based management model. This research aims to develop a complex and sustainable mangrove ecosystem management model for ecotourism development on East Java's south coast, Indonesia. The methodology involves expert interviews and data analysis using PROMETHEE and FsQCA approaches. In conclusion, this research contributes to the development of an integrated and comprehensive mangrove ecosystem management model for sustainable ecotourism development. Recommendations include policy support, community involvement, and infrastructure planning to enhance sustainability. Collaboration among government, communities, and stakeholders is vital for effective implementation, aiming for sustainable ecotourism management on East Java's south coast. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
