Abstract
Muara Angke Fisheries Settlement Area, North Jakarta is a region that potential to experience water scarcity caused by limited water piped network and accompanied by poor groundwater quality due to seawater intrusion. In this situation, rainwater can be an alternative water source to meet household water needs. Hence, this study aims to assess the acceptance of residents on RWH, their willingness to participate in implementing RWH, and the challenges of installing and maintaining RWH. The study uses the Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) method with social, economic, and environmental aspects. The social aspect consists of 3 indicators: social capital, education, and government support. The economic aspect consists of 3 indicators: income, maintenance cost, and saving. The environmental aspect consists of 3 indicators: the quality, the quantity, and the continuity of rainwater. Data collection in this study involved 93 questionnaires which distributed after socialization of the RWH program and its benefit to the residents. This study analyzes the local people acceptance after socialization the RWH program and benefit to the residents. Results showed that education, social capital, government support, income, maintenance costs, saving, and 3 aspects of rainwater were statistically significant in explaining local resident acceptance of RWH in the study area. The people acceptance of RWH after socialization was change compared to before the socialization.
