THE ROLE OF STAKEHOLDERS ON INTEGRATED AMBANG WATERSHED MANAGEMENT : IMPLICATIONS FOR FLOOD MITIGATION IN GREATER MALANG

Abstract

Stakeholder play a crucial role in flood mitigation. This study aims to identify the key stakeholders in Ambang watershed for flood mitigation on Greater Malang. We employed Intrepretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach a focus on Greater Malang.The results indicate that BBWS Brantas (A1), Balai Brantas Sampean (A2) and Forum DAS Brantas and TKPSDA are the key stakeholder. BBWS Brantas (A1) and Balai Brantas Sampean (A2) are identified as significant stakeholders at Level 1, as shown in the table. Every action performed by these stakeholders will determine the success of the flood control program. Conversely, if these stakeholder elements are not given sufficient attention, it will lead to program failure. At level 2, the watershed forum and the Brantas TKPSDA (A7) serve as a bridge between organizations to develop a shared strategy for managing the Ambang river basin in Malang Raya, specifically addressing flood issues in an integrated and sustainable manner involving important stakeholders. This study provides a fresh perspective on gaining a comprehensive understanding of the key stakeholders involved in flood management in Greater Malang.
