Abstract

The Cengklik Reservoir, as a strategic water resource infrastructure, has experienced a continuous decline in storage capacity due to sedimentation caused by both biophysical processes and anthropogenic activities within the catchment area, particularly agricultural land use. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of sedimentation and to develop an ecopedagogy-based Eco-Action model as a participatory strategy for sustainable sedimentation mitigation. A mixed-methods approach was employed by integrating GIS-based spatial analysis with qualitative participatory methods. Spatial analysis was conducted through manual digitization of high-resolution Google Earth imagery (2025) using ArcGIS, followed by spatial overlay and field verification. Social data were collected through in-depth interviews with 30 respondents from Sobokerto and Ngargrejo villages. The results showed that sedimentation was spatially concentrated in the southern and northern parts of the reservoir, where sediment accumulation was associated with agricultural land and runoff pathways from the surrounding catchment. Based on the integration of spatial analysis and community perspectives, an ecopedagogy-based Eco-Action model was developed consisting of four stages: identification of sedimentation hotspots, environmental awareness through ecopedagogy, community-based conservation actions (gotong royong), and participatory environmental monitoring. The proposed model provides a conceptual framework linking spatial information with community participation to support sustainable sedimentation management and may serve as a reference for similar reservoir catchments.
