Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the existing condition of the sustainability of the Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, as being environmentally friendly eco-airport by using the rapid appraisals airport (RAP-BSHas) model. The research was conducted as a survey using multi-dimensional scaling techniques to measure the value of the sustainability index and the sustainability status. The process was undertaken to identify sensitivity attributes that affect the sustainability index in several dimensions: environmental, socio-cultural, economic, technological and knowledge, and to analyse the dominant attributes that affect the indicators of eco-airport. The results showed the sustainability index value of the environmental dimension was 62.78, the socio- cultural dimension was 31.82, the economic dimension was 51.12, the technology dimension was 65.16, and the knowledge dimension was 44.06. The value of sustainability index averages of 50.99 and 50.52 indicate that their status is reasonably sustainable. © 2016 WIETE.
