Assessing the Multidimensional Sustainability of Crystal Coconut Sugar Production in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia

Crystal coconut sugar is a product of indigenous knowledge which is very beneficial for health, as the population increases, the production of crystal coconut sugar needs to be increased and its sustainability maintained.Banyumas Regency is one of Central Java Province's main crystal coconut sugar-producing districts.The purpose of this study was to look at the sustainability of crystal coconut sugar by 1) assessing the multidimensional sustainability index as well as the state of crystal coconut sugar manufacturing; 2) evaluating the sustainability index in each of its dimensions (environmental, social, economic, and technological); 3) identifying the parameters that influence crystal coconut sugar systems; and 4) determining the most influential factors affecting crystal coconut sugar systems to enhance performance and production sustainably.This research used multidimensional scaling with four dimensions and 30 attributes.According to the findings of the analysis, the average performance shows a fairly sustainable status with a value of 65.42%.The economic dimension shows very good performance for sustainability, namely with a value of 90.86%, however, the environmental dimension features a value of 52.73%, and the technological dimension with a value of 49.83% shows less sustainability, while the social dimension with a value of 68.24% is fairly sustainable.For crystal coconut sugar production to have a good sustainable status, it is necessary to pay attention to leverage factors seen from low-value attributes to make improvements.
