“…Very few attempts have been made in water research to study perceptions of aesthetic value. Most previous research in lake management has been focused on the hydrological processes and quality of water rather than its aesthetic value [17][18][19][20]. Therefore, there were two major purposes for this study: (1) to define and investigate the important perceived attributes related to aesthetic value in multifunctional lakes using a video-questionnaire method and (2) to provide some suggestions for the further development of a visual quality index facilitating decision making in management and policies.…”

Aesthetic value is an important factor that should be considered in lake environments. However, there is a lack of research examining and undertaking investigation of the aesthetic value of multifunctional lake ecosystems. There are two major purposes for this study: (1) to define and investigate the important perceived attributes related to the aesthetic value of multifunctional lakes using a video-questionnaire method and (2) to provide some suggestions for the further development of a visual quality index facilitating decision making in management and policies. An enhanced visual quality method was used in this study to record the conditions of the multifunctional lakes in each location in the study area. The findings of the study defined water color and clarity, percentage of water hyacinth, types of debris, percentage of debris, and facilities and land values as the important attributes related to aesthetic value in multifunctional lakes. In summary, the perceived attributes in the visual ecology criteria indicated more significant relationships with the functional morphology criteria than the financial profitability criteria. The results showed that the video-questionnaire method used in this study is efficient, easy to use, and understandable in terms of identifying and measuring aesthetic value in relation to perceptions of perceived attributes.

“…The West Java Provincial Government has made efforts to implement various community-based programs to improve the condition of water resources that focus on the Citarum river basin and educate the public awareness as the resource owners to be more responsible yet they have come to failure in over the last decades. It is recorded that 300 types of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticide compounds affect the agricultural, industrial and household sectors to be used communally and result in the discovery of chemicals in fish, especially in the liver, which are harmful to humans (consumers) and biota in the ecosystem (Djuangsih, 1993).…”

The transition between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems has been known as Riparian Zone. The riparian zone is where generally water flows rarely stagnant, which river is an intermediate plateu. Conversely, rivers, stream or lakes water flows can be stagnant in common situation. Svejcar in his article stated that as transition, riparian zone tends to have characteristics of both upland and aquatics ecosystems. Water contamination brings the effect on reforming the environment degradation whether they are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment. Various notable water rehabilitation projects in leading countries led to their substantial economic returns for many aspects by the government-led initiatives. Nature-inclusive solution has been heavily concerned for the mega projects. In which ecological landscape design can provide the ecosystem services to balance the engineering driven restoration projects. To include, the best practice management requires extended understanding of the pattern in order to allow optimum evaluation of the process relationship. This research is conducted by an explanatory method where writer observe the relevant writings and theory to evaluate riparian areas with support on both primary and secondary data. A comparison table has been conducted to determine the most optimum approach has done by three different cities in two big countries. They are Siak River, Riau, Indonesia between Citarum River in Bandung and Yangtze River in China. This comparison will explain the elements observe among the three rivers and follow by the explanatory theory that has been conducted, a best practice management for landscape design to be evaluate.
