Abstract

Managing landscape services on small islands requires special attention due to resource constraints impacting socio-economic dynamics. This study identifies landscape services on Pasaran Island, Bandar Lampung City, considering ecological, social, and economic factors, and examines the importance and performance of these services from residents' perspectives. Using the Importance-Performance Analysis Matrix (IPMA) in SPSS, 100 local residents who have lived on the island for at least five years were surveyed to understand the community's socioeconomic background. Drone mapping facilitated by DroneDeploy, Agisoft Photoscan Pro, and QGIS revealed diverse land use in Pulau Pasaran. The research highlighted that 37% of the population monthly incomes ranging from 300,000 to 1,000,000 IDR, influenced by natural resource availability. IPMA analysis categorized findings into quadrants: Quadrant I stressed enhanced community and government involvement in landscape service management. Quadrant II reflected community concerns about risks from landscape service use. Quadrant III underscored the necessity for greater transparency in government funding. Quadrant IV indicated community to engage in landscape service planning. The IPMA results for Pasaran Island identified significant gaps in community management: transparency (-0.09), labor assistance (-0.06), and cleanliness (-0.03). Conversely, positive gaps were found in financial assistance (+0.09) and community desire to reduce damage (+0.02). In conclusion, community needs is essential for effective landscape service management.
