Description
Summary:The diverse socio-cultural conditions in Indonesia can make it difficult to develop sustainable micro-hydro power (MHP) generation in rural areas. However, the existing framework of sustainable development indicators to assess MHP sustainability does not include indicators for locations with traditional characteristics. This study aimed to develop indicators related to the specific cultural features for evaluating the sustainability of MHP generation. The identification of indicators was accomplished through field investigations and literature studies. Thirty-one experts in the Delphi method validated the indicators. The results revealed three indicators related to specific traditional characteristics and importance to the sustainability of MHP generation, i.e., electricity-supported cultural activities, customary rules of environmental protection, and directive of a traditional leader. These indicators can be elaborated with the existing framework and expected to increase sustainability assessment efforts for MHP generation in remote locations.
