necessary to conduct a study and optimization analy-
sis to select the location of naval base development by
considering the baseline degradation factors and also
factors sustainability of a naval base.
Naval Base Degradation is a condition in which
the Base no longer functions as a base as a Naval
Base. Naval Base no longer serves as a re-supply
point for warships, no longer serves as a guard for
the stability of the country’s integration and no longer
serves as an antidote to threats from other countries
by sea and coast (Suharyo et al., 2017).
Some of the causes of the degradation of the base
are the uncontrolled growth of the maritime business
which led to the shifting or closing of naval base land
(Gunawan et al., 2018) for example, the Surabaya
Naval Base which was increasingly pressed for by the
maritime business in the Surabaya port. Furthermore,
the construction of the Merah Putih bridge in Am-
bon covered the rate of Navy ships heading to Am-
bon Naval Base. Technical factors such as sedimenta-
tion, sea tides, and other hydro-oceanographic condi-
tions also contributed to the increase in the degrada-
tion value of the Naval Base.
The threat of degradation Naval Base is the ba-
sis for researchers about the concept of Naval Base
Sustainability or Sustainability. Naval Base Sustain-
ability is a condition where the base can function as
a base for a naval base that continues to grow and be
used as a sustainable base. The Naval Base will con-
tinue to function as a reprocessing point for warships,
function as a guard for the stability of the country’s in-
tegration and serve as a deterrent to threats from other
countries by sea and coast (Martinez-moyano et al.,
2008)
Considering the very complex problems faced in
assessing the sustainability of Navy bases, it is neces-
sary to study and trace deeper data to create a repre-
sentative model. This model certainly must be able to
accommodate the entire scope of the problem in the
development of the base, especially the sustainability
of the base, so that this model is expected to be able
to do a valuation approach to the sustainability of the
base.
The choice of the location of the Naval Base is not
only for the current conditions but also must consider
the location Sustainability factors due to changes in
system dynamics, so that the dynamic system model
needs to be developed in this problem. The dynamic
system is a method used to describe, model, and sim-
ulate a dynamic system from time to time constantly
changing (Forrester, 1997)
This study aims to design and build a more com-
plete and comprehensive problem-solving model on
the location of a strategic naval base to be devel-
oped by analyzing the existence and sustainability of
naval base locations based on consideration of various
kinds and complexity of important factors that influ-
ence them. The development of the site selection op-
timization model is emphasized on a sustainable lo-
cation assessment, because optimization is not only
for the current condition or when the model is formed
but also must be considered in the future the system
sustainability from the chosen location.
In this study, the author will develop an analy-
sis technique for assessing the sustainability of Naval
Base locations with the development of the System
Dynamic concept. The concept of this method, in
general, has been widely used by researchers and sci-
entists, but the use for integrated assessment of Naval
Base from aspects that influence it never been done.
The author tries to make the development and mod-
ification of the method into an intact model that is
systematic and appropriate in the assessment of the
location of the sustainability of the Naval Base which
is expected to be a renewal in this study.
2 MATERIAL AND METHODS
2.1 Modelling Approach with System
Dynamic
The system dynamics approach is a combination of
theory, method, and philosophy to analyze the behav-
ior of a dynamic system by building a generic model
from symptom identification to producing a problem
structure for simulation evaluation / policy analysis
in making decisions, both for step evaluation strate-
gic steps that have been taken in generating system
performance, as well as for evaluation / analysis of
alternative steps that need to be taken in achieving the
desired goals going forward (Forrester, 1997). The
decision can take the form of various aspects, includ-
ing ”allocation, location and distribution”, ”regulation
and deregulation”, ”stimulation and response” whose
essence is system sustainability.
According to Sweeney and Sterman (2000). There
are six interacting problem-solving steps that form
loops in the dynamic system methodology, namely :
a. Problem identification and definition
b. System conceptualization
c. Model formulation
d. Model simulation and validation
e. Policy analysis and improvement
f. Policy implementation
