Management ecosystems restoration plans for coastal villages: Case Study Gresik and Malang Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia

The  Village s on the coastal region are  currently experiencing severe environmental damage caused by human activities and natural processes. Thus, it required a  solution to solve the problem in  coastal areas. The coastal area is a unique area and with the presence of mangrove forests to absorb carbon in large enough quantities. However, due to mangrove ecosystems and othe r ecosystems damaged,  mangrove can not be optimal  to  absorb carbon. Therefore, research is needed to determine what the best solution to manage  ecosystem  coastal areas towards restoration .  The purpose of this study is to make a n ecosystem restoration  plan for coastal villages to improve the ability of mangroves to absorb carbon. Such plan will use the village government as a technical guidance together with local people  to restore degraded mangrove.  Besides, the second objective to be achieved is to develop appropriate institutional plan for deploying the coastal ecosystem restoration. The method used is using  Partial Least Square (PLS).  PLS  regression is a recent technique that generalizes and combines features from principal component analysis and multiple regression. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)  which is used to build the institutional model that corresponds to the charact eristics of coastal communities to conduct ecosystem restoration plan.  T he  results of  this  research  is  to produce findings about the  ecosystem  restoration plan  f or  co a stal village and the local institution that is responsible to carry out ecosystem restoration plan  .
