Abstract
In general, the literature agrees that social
sustainability plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable development goals.
In the context of blue economy development, social sustainability must be
achieved to ensure that blue economy development encourages the creation of a
more just and prosperous society without compromising the needs of future
generations. However, assessments focused on the social sustainability of blue
economy development are still relatively limited. This study aims to fill this
gap by exploring potential economic sectors for development, identifying social
sustainability indicators, and assessing the social sustainability achievements
of blue economy sectors. This study used a survey method to measure public
perceptions of the development of blue economy sectors and the social
sustainability achievements of each sector. The study location was on Untung
Jawa Island, situated in the village of Untung Jawa, Kepulauan Seribu Regency,
DKI Jakarta Province, Indonesia. The results showed that the marine tourism
sector had the highest social sustainability in terms of empowerment, community
participation, and cultural preservation within the blue economy sector.
Meanwhile, the aquaculture sector, which is part of the blue economy, had the
highest social sustainability in terms of equality. These findings have
implications for the significant role of marine tourism in promoting social
sustainability through its capacity to provide employment, foster community
involvement, and preserve local cultural heritage.
