Stakeholder Support for Sustainable Social Movement of Ciliwung River

Abstract

Stakeholder support has strategic roles in managing environmental issues. Not only from government, buat also private sector and society have to take some roles in the issues. The existence of the Ciliwung community and their social movement for the Ciliwung River are very significant and important. The Ciliwung River becomes one of the public issues that still encounters many problems related to water quality and the condition of its watershed. This study aims to analyze stakeholder support for the sustainable social movement of the Ciliwung River. The method used in this study is a post-positive paradigm using quantitative research supported by qualitative data. This study conducted the survey in eight Ciliwung communities spread from the upstream, middle, and downstream areas, with a total of 184 respondents. This study found that general stakeholder support has an influence on the sustainability of social movements in the Ciliwung River. But support from neighborhood leaders has more significant influence compared to support from religious leaders and public leaders. This study found that the authority of the government is still dominant in mobilizing the public for the Ciliwung River through neighborhood leaders. This study recommends collaborative stakeholder networks for social movements that can protect and improve the quality of the Ciliwung River in a sustainable manner.
