Abstract

The Community of Purworejo has started planting mangroves to prevent abrasion and high tides from reaching community settlements. Mangrove forest resource management has been carried out since 2011 and opened ecotourism in 2018. Ecotourism management in Purworejo Village was not going well, therefore efforts were needed to increase sustainability in ecotourism management. This research aims to analyze the sustainability status of mangrove forest ecotourism in Purworejo Village based on sustainability dimensions (ecological, economic, and institutional) and analyze the factors that influence the sustainability index of mangrove forest ecotourism in Purworejo Village. This research was carried out from June to August 2022, in the Register 15 mangrove area, Purworejo Village, Pasir Sakti District, East Lampung Regency. The method used was qualitative with descriptive research type. The data analysis used was Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) using the Rapfish application and Leverage analysis. The results of this research show that the ecotourism sustainability status value was 51.82 in the category index 50.01-75.00 or quite sustainable. The most influential attributes for the sustainability index value were substrate type, sales potential for mangrove seeds, and availability of planning regulations. These results prove that ecotourism can operate well by improving several supporting factors for sustainable ecotourism.
