Developing a Sustainable Wetland Management Model for Post-Displacement Settlements: A Case Study of Bontang Kuala

Abstract
The relocation of communities from wetland areas often creates complex challenges related to social, economic, and environmental sustainability. This study focuses on developing a post-displacement wetland management model in Bontang Kuala, East Kalimantan, a region where relocation efforts have significantly impacted local communities and ecosystems. Using a mixed-methods approach, including field surveys, Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis, and stakeholder interviews, the research identifies key spatial, ecological, and socio-economic factors that influence sustainable wetland management.The findings reveal the importance of integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern planning techniques to ensure balanced outcomes for displaced communities and the surrounding wetland ecosystems. The proposed model emphasizes the need for inclusive policy frameworks, adaptive land use planning, and participatory governance to address the socio-economic needs of the relocated population while conserving critical wetland habitats. This study contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable wetland management and provides a replicable framework for addressing similar challenges in other regions.
