Based on the results of water quality testing Citarum river upstream part conducted by the Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Provinsi Jawa Barat after three years of development the communal cages, obtained total final value based on Storet methods -68.286 and occupies class D (Heavily Polluted). This study aims to describe the system of communal cage management in Tarumajaya village, then identify internal and external factors in the management to further design a sustainable communal cage management strategy. Data is collected through observation techniques, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews obtained through informants from relevant agencies and farmers' informants. Data analysis used is descriptive qualitative-quantitative approaches to describe a communal cage management system, SWOT sustainability analysis (sSWOT) to identify internal and external factors, and a Quantitative Strategy Planning Matrix (QSPM) to design strategies for communal cage management. The results showed that as many as 48% of the 81 farmer informants who not in communal cages still dumped their cattle manure into the river, meanwhile livestock waste in the communal cage areas had not been handled optimally due to the limited means of waste treatment in the area. Financially, communal cage farmers with the business scale of 4-6 cows have Revenue Cost Ratio (R/C ratio) 1.92 and a non-communal farmers have R/C ratio 1.74, and then for business scale 1-3 cows in communal cage farmers have R/C ratio 1.85 and a non-communal farmers have R/C ratio 1.60. In the stakeholder analysis, showed that the Dinas Ketahanan Pangan dan Peternakan Provinsi Jawa Barat, field counselors, and communal cage farmers have high strength and interest in managing of communal cage areas. Based on the scores weighted, the total Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) score is 3.287 and the total External Factor Evaluation (EFE) score is 3.097 were placed in the first quadrant which means the development that could be intensively and integrative. Based on the Total Attractiveness Score (TAS), a strategy that can be developed there are making standard regulation, making Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) in communal area, establishing cooperation with outsiders, developing animal feed forage gardens, and developing animal husbandry agro-tourism areas.
