Abstract:
The use of small islands for marine tourism is one of Indonesia’s development strategies. The carrying capacity
(CC) of islands is an essential parameter for achieving sustainable tourism management and development. CC can
be incorporated into policy models and management strategies to reduce the impact on tourist areas. This study
aims to assess the suitability of using social-ecological system CC (SES-CC) model to calculate optimal CC, using
the Tidung Islands of Jakarta, the urban capital city of Indonesia as a case study. The SES-CC was assessed per
tourist activity, using the impact perspective of the social-ecological system of the islands through a coupled
model of social CC and ecological CC. The social CC was estimated using the perceptions of tourists, and the
ecological CC was estimated using the physical CC. The real CC and effective CC were then estimated based on
correction factors. Finally, a simple double attribute weighting method is used to develop coupled SocialEcological System CC (SES-CC). A small urban island of Jakarta Capital Province, namely the Tidung Islands,
was used for testing the method. The results will be used to improve sustainable tourism management in the
islands, particularly national coastal and marine tourism policies.
