SWOT Analysis in Determining the Management Strategy of Rendani River Catchment Area in Manokwari District

Abstract

The establishment of a new status for the Wosi Rendani forest area, which was previously a protected forest, has become an area for other uses, causing the area to become more open, as evidenced by changes in the land cover and the land use. On the one hand, the Rendani River is a source of clean water for Manokwari city. This underlies the need to conduct a study on the internal and external factors in the Rendani River catchment to develop strategies and steps for managing the area. Area management strategies to maintain hydrological functions obtained by using a SWOT analysis are: through the conservation of the Rendani River Catchment Area (DTA) and water resources management in collaboration with communal rights owners, other communities, universities, community organizations, and the private sector, where local governments continue to carry out coordination and supervision functions.
