However, the development of this tourist area needs to be carried out sustainably so that its benefits can be felt in the long term by the community without damaging the environment.This study aims to: (1) analyze the sustainability status of the development of the Paputo tourism area based on five dimensions (ecological, economic, social, infrastructure, and institutional); (2) identify the factors contributing to the sustainability of the Paputo tourism area; The research uses the Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) method using the Rapshore application. The results show that the ecological and social dimensions fall into the fairly sustainable category, the economic dimension is categorized as less sustainable, while the infrastructure and institutional dimensions are considered sustainable. The study also identifies key sensitive attributes as leverage factors in the sustainability of Paputo’s tourism development. Sensitive attributes in the ecological dimension include freshwater availability, coastal land cover, beach slope, beach width, and seabed material. In the economic dimension, they include the development of other tourism services, tourist retribution, and increased household income.
