Towards Resilience of Jabodetabek Megacity: Developing Local Sustainability Index with Considering Local Spatial Interdependency

Abstract

Sustainability is a global issue that needs to condense the best efforts of humankind to deal with the goals that it is imposing on our planet and on our society. This study tried to develop indicators to promote sustainable development in the local level, called Local Sustainability Index (LSI) using Factor Analysis (FA) with considering local-scale spatial interdependency by employing Local Indicator of Spatial Association (LISA) statistics. LSI was developed based on 46 local sustainable development indicators which divided into 3 major dimensions: economy, social, and environment. LSI iscovering household's economic welfare, public services, local infrastructure, social welfare, local community health and education, physical condition, local environmental sustainability and disaster resilience. Based on LISA results, it was found that local sustainability performance of the small-scale spatial units (villages/desa) was strongly influenced by the sustainability conditions in its surrounding areas. The approach developed in this study was able to show the actual condition of local sustainability performance in all dimensions without making it into one composite index so that it could include the trade-off between dimensions.
