Abstract
Jenes River lies in the south of Surakarta City, passing through Laweyan, Serengan, and Pasar Kliwon. The condition of the water deteriorates day by day because of human activities including the process of batik making, textile factories, and neighborhood waste where most of the waste is directly thrown into this river. Before the water quality was degraded people could obtain many benefits from consuming the water and using it to support their daily life activities, but now because the river condition already below the quality standard, the water is no longer safe to consume and the river ecosystem is also damage. This chapter delineates this problem, stressing batik waste pollution as one of the causes for environmental degradation in Jenes River. Stakeholder analysis is explored with all possible claims from every stakeholder by using critical system heuristics (CSH). The claims are collected based on primary data from interview with several key persons, and secondary data from papers, journal articles, and newspapers. After displaying the problem constellation, conflict potency is explored using Drama-theoretic Dilemma Analysis (DtDA). DtDA is used to analyze dilemmas that arise in this problem. The DtDA analysis uses confrontation manager software. The results are several scenarios that can be implemented by the stakeholders to eliminate the dilemmas and propose solutions.
