Comprehensive Clean Water Management Framework for Barrang Lompo Island in South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

Background: One of the basic needs of the community is the availability of clean water. Small islands with limited access to clean water are an area that is vulnerable to disease. The people of Barrang Lompo Island are experiencing difficulties regarding clean water due to its geographical conditions that make it difficult to access clean water. Purpose: To find an integrated clean water management model based on water sources, residential density, behavior towards water management and availability regulations on Barrang Lompo Island. Methodology: Research samples amounted to 285 respondents, taken randomly using a simple random sampling technique. This study is observational with a cross sectional design then continued with complex multivariate analysis to test a model based on the structural equation model (SEM) PLS approach. Results: Results of the SEM PLS analysis showed water source variables had a significant effect on the availability of clean water (0.000 < 0.05), water sources had a significant effect on clean water management regulations (0.000 < 0.05) and management regulations had a significant effect on the availability of clean water (0.024 < 0.05). Conclusions: The risk model found is that water source variables have a strong influence on water management regulation variables, water availability.
