摘要：Sustainable peatland management is expected to become the mainstream in utilizing theenvironmentally fragile tropical peatland. The aim of the study was to evaluate the dynamics of tropicalpeat characteristics and sustainability resulted from management and land use types. This study wasconducted in 2013-2018 in the peat dome of the Kampar Peninsula, Riau Province, Indonesia. The typesof data being used were primary and secondary data generated from the field and library. The fieldsurvey included unstructured interview with the local stakeholders and structured interview usingquestionnaire, while the sustainability status was evaluated using the Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS)approach with the modification of Rapfish Method to Rappeat. The results indicated that the sapric(mature) peat expanded in area and that the peat became more stable (less rate of subsidence) withtime. Peatland management systems in general were categorized as unsustainable with a MDS averagevalue of 48.61% consisting of ecological dimension of 53.04%, social dimension of 47.34%, andeconomic dimension of 45.44%. The peatland management sustainability main lever attributes includes:a) maintaining of carbon stock, b) intensity and effectiveness of counselling the community aboutsustainable peatland management, and c) price stability of farm products. To be sustainable, from anecological dimension we recommend the management of peat carbon stock through organic matterrecycling, raising water table, and as much as possible, reducing agricultural expansion to the highcarbon stock peat forests. From the social dimension, it is required an understanding by stakeholders onthe regulatory and technical management of peatlands. From an economic dimension, it is necessary tohave marked access and presence, as well as guarantee of agricultural production price stability.
