<![CDATA[Water-resource sustainability requires management that integrates physical conditions with historical and socio-cultural dimensions. This study analyzes the spatial characteristics, historical development, and community phenomenology supporting the conservation of Jolotundo Spring. A concurrent mixed-methods design combined pH, TDS, topographic, and vegetation measurements at eight observation points with spatial analysis, field observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with six informants. The main Jolotundo points recorded TDS values of 46–54 ppm, pH values of 6.45–7.45, dense vegetation dominated by bamboo and banyan, and steep-slope topography. Historically and phenomenologically, sacred values and community experiences have shaped culture-based conservation practices. Jolotundo should therefore be managed through an integrated ecological, historical, and participatory approach.]]>
