“…It maintains the ability and expertise of the community in the use of local materials. The planning concerns the sustainability of the use of these distinctive wetland production materials in contemporary buildings, either in the context of traditional ways or in new innovative ways (Rattan, Sharma, Kumar, Saigal, & Shukla, 2021).…”

The riverbank has a unique landscape and socio-cultural character of the community. The area is the transition of the innerland and river ecosystem. The ecological function is very important for balancing the both ecosystems. The Living activity of dwellers creates a socio-cultural bond to the river. This study plans the housing riverbank with a socio-ecological approach. The approach considers the sustainability of the ecosystem and social culture of the dwellers. The research was conducted in Palembang, a big city in Indonesia that has evolved in wetlands on the riverbanks. The current development eliminates the character of the physical and socio-cultural landscape. This study uses the Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) method which is part of the Multi-criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method. MAUT can determine alternative planning through attribute assessment by predetermined objective criteria. The decision making is based on the assessment by experts from various fields. It shows the best alternative depends on the attribute level of the house type. The attribute value is very dominant compared to other attributes. Environmental attributes quite influential are the size of the buffer zone and the construction of riveredge wall. The best alternative result indicated that the planning should accommodate the activities of residents who interact closely with the sustainability of river ecosystems.

“…The Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar Convention), signed in 1971, provides a framework for the preservation and responsible use of wetlands, including mangroves. By designating wetlands of international importance and adopting measures for their conservation and management, the parties of the convention aim to preserve these important ecosystems [166]. Examples of Ramsar sites that have had a positive impact on mangrove conservation include the Xuan Thuy Wetland Reserve in Vietnam [167], Sungai Pulai Forest Reserve in Malaysia [168], Pichavaram mangrove in India [169], Koh Kapik in Cambodia [170], and the Gulf of Montijo Ramsar Site in Panama [171].…”

Mangroves play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of coastal regions, particularly in the face of climate change. To gain insight into associations between climate change and mangroves, we conducted bibliometric research on the global indexed database of the Web of Knowledge, Core Collection. A total of 4458 literature were analyzed based on bibliometric information and article metadata through a scientometric analysis of citation analysis as well as a cluster analysis. Results suggest that coastal countries such as the USA, Australia, China, India, and Brazil are showing the recent influential mangrove-related keywords such as blue carbon and carbon stock. Interestingly, the “carbon stock”, “Saudi Arabia”, “range expansion” and “nature-based flood risk mitigation” is among the top cluster networks in the field of climate change and mangrove forest. The present research is expected to attract potential leaders in research, government, civil society, and business to advance progress towards mangrove sustainability in the changing climate meaningfully.

“…Inland wetlands are ecosystems with among the highest rates of global decline, which given their social and ecological value, has led to a wide range of conservation and restoration initiatives worldwide (MEA, 2005; Rattan et al, 2021). These wetlands include peatlands, marshes, and swamps, but also the underwater vegetated zones surrounding lakes and rivers.…”
