Open Access Land Restoration Strategy Based on the Triple Bottom Line Approach for Achieving Sustainable Management of Open Access Land

Abstract

This research aims to develop a sustainable Open Access Land (LAT) restoration strategy using the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach at three ex-mining locations in Malang Regency. The TBL approach integrates three main dimensions, namely economic, social and environmental to create balance in LAT management. Qualitative methods were used in this research, involving in-depth interviews with stakeholders, surveys, and document analysis to identify challenges and opportunities in implementing the TBL strategy in the three villages. The research results show that the TBL approach is able to provide a holistic and inclusive framework for LAT recovery at ex-mining sites. From an economic perspective, the development of ecotourism and organic farming are sustainable alternatives. From a social perspective, the active involvement of local communities in the LAT planning and management process increases their sense of ownership and responsibility towards the environment. From an environmental perspective, habitat restoration and water resource management activities help restore damaged ecosystems. The resulting recommendations include supporting policies, increasing community capacity, and strengthening collaboration between various stakeholders, so that a sustainable LAT management model can be realized in Malang Regency.
