Multidimensional Scaling Approach For Evaluating The Sustainability Status Of Two Small Islands With Development Potential In The Banda Islands

Abstract: Small islands will face a variety of very complex obstacles related to sustainable development. The Banda Islands are one of the areas that are likely to face these problems due to the high level of insularity. To avoid the problems that will be faced, various studies are needed in evaluating the status of small island sustainability on two Potential Islands as a priority for sustainable development carried out with the aim of knowing the sensitive factors that affect the development of Small Island Areas based on the dimensions of management as an improvement strategy. This research uses the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) approach by determining five dimensions consisting of 56 Attributes. Based on the results of the study, Banda Neira Island has an average index value of 42.44 which is included in the Less Sustainable category and Banda Besar Island with an average index value of 43.91 which is included in the Less Sustainable category. From the sustainability status, it is known that sensitive factors in inhibiting sustainable development can be used as the main problems faced by the two potential islands and become a special concern in the planning process of the two potential islands.
