Abstract

The Batang Arau Estuary is a strategic coastal area in Padang that serves as a vital transportation route, fishing zone, and economic hub. However, escalating anthropogenic activities-including domestic waste disposal and port operations-have led to the degradation of the estuarine water quality. This study aims to analyze the relationship between tidal dynamics and water quality fluctuations in the Batang Arau Estuary and to examine the subsequent implications for environmental management and policy. The research employed a quantitative descriptive method, collecting water samples from seven observation stations during both high and low tide conditions. The analyzed parameters included salinity, pH, temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5), and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The results indicate that tidal fluctuations significantly influence the distribution of water quality parameters, particularly salinity and DO. Salinity values increased during high tide due to seawater intrusion, while lower values were observed during low tide as freshwater discharge became dominant. While pH and temperature generally remained within environmental standards, DO concentrations at several upstream stations fell below the threshold required to support aquatic life. Furthermore, COD concentrations at specific locations exceeded permissible limits, indicating organic pollution from domestic and port-related activities. To address these issues, integrated environmental management is essential. This includes pollution control, hydrodynamic-based monitoring, ecosystem rehabilitation, and the implementation of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). Such measures are critical to ensuring the sustainability of the estuarine ecosystem and the long-term viability of coastal economic activities.

Abstract

This study aims to integrate the results of sustainability analysis using the Multidimensional Scaling–RAPFISH approach into the policy planning process for flood risk reduction in the Kuranji Watershed, Padang City. Five strategic dimensions—economic, environmental, social, infrastructure, and institutional—were analyzed to provide a holistic view of sustainability. Primary data were collected through interviews and questionnaires with stakeholders, while secondary data came from planning documents and policies. The analysis revealed that four of the five dimensions are in the less sustainable category, with index scores ranging from 37.69 to 42.22. Only the institutional dimension was considered moderately sustainable, with a score of 51.77. The average sustainability index across all dimensions was 41.99, indicating an overall status of low sustainability. Leverage and Monte Carlo analyses were used to identify the most influential attributes. The infrastructure dimension had the lowest index, largely affected by the availability of evacuation routes, early warning systems, and emergency logistics. The RAPFISH model demonstrated strong validity and reliability, supported by stress values below 0.15 and R² values near 1. Monte Carlo simulations showed minimal differences, confirming model robustness. These findings suggest that MDS-RAPFISH is a valuable tool for evidence-based policy planning, enabling prioritization of interventions and formulation of adaptive, integrated strategies. This approach can help policymakers identify critical leverage points and design flood risk reduction policies that address the socio-environmental complexities of the Kuranji Watershed, while contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
