【 摘 要 】

The condition of mangrove ecosystem in Karimunjawa island was thought in degraded condition, arisen the questions concerning its possible causes. This research aimed to study the perception of the society concerning the degradation of mangrove ecosystem in Karimunjawa island, its causes, as well as to formulate the management solution to support its sustainability. The research was conducted in August 2017 and March 2018 in Karimunjawa island. Data was collected by questionnaire involving local society as the respondents. Respondents were questionned about the causes of mangrove degradation in Karimunjawa Island. The result showed that 59.40% of the respondents agreed that mangrove ecosystem in Karimunjawa island is degraded. The presented data showed the level of agreement of the respondents concerning the mentioned causing factors of mangrove degradation, including fishing activities (48.12%), mangrove logging (59.40%), increasing population (60.90%), development of aquaculture facilities (48.87%), development of ponds (61.65%), aquaculture activities (51.13%), and development of tourism facilities (39.10%). Analysis of correlation between the mangrove related activities and the degradation of mangrove ecosystem showed weak relations, where the coefficient of correlations was less than 50%. The awareness of the local community and the tourist to the condition of mangrove ecosystem was poor. However, the tourist has better interest to participate in the mangrove conservation activity. In order to maintain the sustainability of mangrove ecosystem, integrated management of mangrove through eco-tourism activity should be considered.
