Thisstudy aims to evaluate the ecological, social, economic, institutional, and infrastructural sustainability of the Maros–Watampone road corridor that crosses TN Babul. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the research employed theMultidimensional Scaling (MDS) method supported by leverage and Monte Carlo analysis. Data were gathered fromkey stakeholders through purposive sampling and analyzed based on sustainability attributes across five dimensions.The findings reveal that environmental, institutional, and infrastructure dimensions scored in the "less sustainable"category, indicating high ecological risk and governance gaps. In contrast, economic and social dimensions weremoderately sustainable, reflecting emerging opportunities for inclusive growth. Sensitive attributes influencingsustainability include habitat fragmentation, road design, governance coordination, and community participation. Thestudy concludes that balancing development with conservation requires integrated, multi-stakeholder strategies andtargeted interventions that address the most vulnerable sustainability dimensions.展开更多
