Summary : Information on mangrove ecosystem of the Jakarta Bay is mostly concerned with the flora and fauna aspects. The mangrove ecosystems in the area have a very limited diversity. The importance of mangrove forest productivity in the function of the coastal ecosystems of Jakarta Bay cannot be ignored. A lot of development activities have negatively affected this area. The balance between economic gain and environment social loss should be weighted in favor of the longer - term objectives so that establishment of sustainable resources development will not be ignored. Attention should also be paid to the impact of coastal ecotourism development on the sustainability and conservancy of mangrove ecosystem. This research was conducted from September to November 2001 at Muara Angke of North Jakarta in Jakarta Bay. This research aimed to: (1.) To examine the environmental suitability of mangrove ecosystem and coastal area for ecotourism development; (2.) To obtain the optimum plans for the associated enterprise in relation to variables and parameters which relate the potential use of physical, economic and institutional restraints while considering the objectives of entrepreneur and policy planners; (3.) To recommend the appropriate mangrove areas for ecotourism that would have the least effect for the coastal environment and the social activities of the local people. Geographic Information System (GIS) method was used for evaluating the mangrove ecosystem and Analytical Hierarchy Process approach was used for resolving the spatial/land use conflict to evaluate policy. The result showed that all along the Northern coast of what now is DKI Jakarta was originally mangrove ecosystem, complete with all richness of biodiversity attained in it. However, Indonesia should utilize institutional facility presently available as soon as possible, such as forestry agency, tourism agency, and other related institutions.
