Structural analysis of factors influencing the sustainability of wave energy in Indonesia’s coastal area Available to Purchase

Indonesia is an archipelago country and has wave energy potential for renewable energy. It can be applied as a sustainable energy source for bordered and remote coastal areas. Understanding and identifying the most influenced variables to ensure the sustainability of wave energy is crucial. Therefore, this paper aimed to present how people used the structural analysis method to identify the influence factors of sustainability wave energy in coastal areas. The study’s methodology was using the Impact Matrix Cross-Reference Multiplication Applied to a Classification (MICMAC) software for analyzing the influence variables. It was also utilized to identify the correlation among the identified factors. After that, these factors were rank. The result shows that factors of ‘subsidies’, ‘financing institution’, proper wave energy potential data’, and ‘lack of policy and regulation’ are classified as a critical factor which has the highest influence and highest independent. However, future research should be performed with more variables and focus group discussions of experts on formulating the best scenarios of wave energy sustainability.
