Abstract
The Subwatershed of Musi Hulu plays an important role in Bengkulu Province and the South Sumatra region. In 2006, the establishment of the Musi Hydropower Plant increases the functional load of the area hence, there is a need for sustainable land resources management. Therefore, this study aims to identify the key factors that affect sustainable land resources management in the Musi Hydropower Plant catchment area in Bengkulu Province. This research was conducted in the Musi Hydropower Plant catchment area in Rejang Lebong and Kepahiang Regency, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. The method used was an Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) with four criteria, namely objectives, programs, barriers, and stakeholders of land resources management. The results showed that limited budget and weakness of coordination among stakeholders are the main barriers to sustainable land resources management in the catchment area. Meanwhile, non-governmental organization plays significant roles in supporting land resources management. Therefore, with the limited budget of land resources management, it is recommended to improve the coordination among stakeholders to maintain sustainability in the Musi Hydropower Plant catchment area in Bengkulu Province.
