Abstract

Indigenous settlements in conservation areas situated on water frequently experience a paradox between substantial social and cultural capital and environmental degradation. To address this gap, this study aimed to formulate a sustainable management strategy for Tobati Village, Jayapura, Indonesia, by integrating local wisdom into an eco-settlement framework. Building on the previously published Fuzzy Delphi Method assessment to validate key aspects of environmental quality, this study proceeds to the strategy prioritization stage. This stage uses a sequential mixed method combining interviews and observations, SWOT to map internal and external factors, and AHP to prioritize strategic alternatives. The SWOT analysis positioned Tobati Village in the WO quadrant (IFAS = –0.98, EFAS = 0.02), indicating that weaknesses in sanitation, access to clean water, housing quality, and governance remain dominant despite existing policy and program opportunities. The AHP identified strategy WO1 (watertight communal sanitation with participatory floating waste collection points) as a top priority (global weight 0.340) due to its effectiveness in reducing pollution while simultaneously activating local institutions and community participation. In accordance with strategy WO1, the formulation of the “Latent Capacity Paradox” framework emphasizes the need for a connecting strategy based on environmental infrastructure and shared governance to facilitate the improvement of physical conditions within settlements and the sustainable management of coastal indigenous settlements.

Keywords
