Integrated watershed management is a holistic and sustainable approach in managing water resources and the environment associated with river flow. One of the important aspects in integrated watershed management is to pay attention to the socio-economic aspects of the people living around the river. In many places in Indonesia, watershed bears a heavy burden due to its high population density and intensive utilization of natural resources, leading to environmental degradation and a decline in watershed conditions. On the other hand, the demands on watershed to support livelihood systems, including community activities and fisheries from upstream to downstream, coastal areas, and the sea, are substantial. The purpose of the study was to identify the socio-economic situation of the community and how to manage the watershed with the approach of the socio-economic aspects of the community. The method used was Qualitative analysis with observation, deep interview, and questionary. The purpose of the study was to identify the socio-economic situation of the community and how to manage the watershed with the approach of the socio-economic aspects of the community. The method used was Qualitative analysis with observation, deep interview, and questionary. The results showed that education level in the upstream area is higher than the downstream area. The level of education, employment, and community income can affect their attitudes and participation in watershed management activities. Communities who have higher education, jobs related to watersheds and coastal areas, and adequate income tend to be more active and aware of maintaining the sustainability of watersheds and coastal areas.
