(Code: COMMUNITY KAP-West Java)

Title: Consultant Survey of Survey of Community Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) towards the Potential and Utilization of Watersheds (Citarum, Cisadane, Cimandiri, and Ciliwung) in West Java Province

1. Background

The principle of sustainability is a reference in managing watersheds, which have ecological, economic and socio-cultural functions of various resources in balance. In managing watersheds, it is important to design a goal that includes ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources, achieving an ecological balance of the environment as a life support system, ensuring the quantity and quality of water throughout the year, and having a function in controlling surface flow, erosion, flooding and other degradation processes.

The Citarum, Cisadane, Cimandiri and Ciliwung watersheds are part of Indonesia’s priority watersheds and important assets that provide livelihoods for more than 40 million people in West Java. Located between two national parks, Gunung Gede Pangarango National Park (TNGGP) and Halimun Salak National Park (TNHS), these watersheds play an important role in maintaining the balance of water distribution from upstream to downstream.

Along with the increasing population development in the region and the massive conversion of catchment areas into open agriculture, the Citarum, Cisadane, Cimandiri and Ciliwung watersheds will certainly experience various complex pressures in the future. Excessive water utilization without being accompanied by sustainable management interventions and increased public awareness can accelerate the decline in the quantity and quality of water resources in these watersheds, which can threaten the occurrence of a clean water crisis and also environmental damage.

To support the sustainable conservation of water resources in the Citarum, Cisadane, Cimandiri and Ciliwung watersheds and to find appropriate and holistic interventions for their conservation, it is necessary to know and understand the perceptions, understanding, and behavior of the people who live as well as the main users of water resources around the watershed area through the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) survey.
