Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the implementation of the Biodiversity Management Master Plan in Denpasar City through the Driving Force, Pressure, State, Impact, Response (DPSIR) method framework, which aims to understand the dynamic interactions between human activities and urban ecosystems. Due to rapid urbanization, changes in green spaces, and the challenges posed by climate change, which worsen the conditions of local habitats, Denpasar City is facing substantial problems regarding the loss of biodiversity. This study identifies the main drivers, such as population expansion, climate change, and ecological stressors, that seem to negatively impact natural resources through habitat degradation, deteriorating ecosystems, and decreasing resilience of endemic species populations. The DPSIR framework is useful for exploring the linkages between anthropogenic drivers and environmental pressures, and its impact on environmental states, in addition to having indicators regarding policies enforced by municipal authorities. At the same time, these pressures considerably affect the urban ecosystem, decreasing in quantity and quality of ecosystem services with the provision of clean water and erosion control, affecting not only its eco-health but also social and economic conditions via lowering the satisfactory conditions of ecosystem services. This study identifies barriers to existing conservation policy on biodiversity and suggests research-providing solutions designed to increase effectiveness in its management. Maintaining the ecological balance of urban areas is such a continuous and complicated effort that it has been suggested to take cross-sectoral collaborative and adaptive policies, and increase public awareness.
