Abstract
The management and development of the Kalong Cave tourist attraction has become part of the economic source for the people of Kampung Rinca, Komodo National Park. The sustainability of the management of this tourist attraction depends on the balance between four main aspects, namely ecology, social, economy, and institutions. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation is needed regarding the sustainability status of the management of the Kalong Cave tourist attraction, in order to identify various factors that influence and formulate solutions to optimize management. This study aims to analyze the level of sustainability of the management of the Kalong Cave tourist attraction on Rinca Island using the Multi-aspect Sustainability Analysis (MSA) approach. This method allows the assessment of four aspects of sustainability consisting of 31 interrelated factors, including ecology, social, economy, and institutions. The stages of this research include: 1) preparation of the location and respondents, 2) data collection using the survey method with interview techniques, 3) data analysis using the Multi-aspect Sustainability Analysis (MSA), to describe the level of sustainability of the Kalong Cave tourist attraction based on the aspects and attributes developed, 4) analysis of the management strategy of the tourist attraction through a realistic and ideal scenario approach, to the sensitive factors of the Kalong Cave tourist attraction. The results obtained indicate that the sustainability status of the Kalong Cave tourist attraction in Komodo National Park is sustainable with an index of 69.33%. To improve the sustainability status to very sustainable, scenario 1 was chosen, namely the realistic scenario with improvements to 8 sensitive factors so that the sustainability index becomes 89.47%
