ABSTRACT
Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans derive from ecosystems. As the population increases, the need for clean water and foodstuffs also continues to increase. To determine the level of sustainability, it is necessary to provide the carrying capacity and environmental capacity of ecosystem services for clean water providers and food providers. This research took place in the Pasuruan City, East Java. The assessment and weighting of ecosystem services on land use and ecoregions were carried out using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach. The value obtained is an expert based valuation method on the role of each ecoregion on types of ecosystem services. The results showed that the Pasuruan City having the ability to provide clean water ecosystem services is very low with a percentage of 59.4% with a total area of 2,316.62 ha. Meanwhile, food providers are also dominated by the very low class, namely 36.5% and the total area reaches 1,425.63 ha.
Keywords: Ecosystem Services, Clean Water, Food, Pasuruan City.
