Community-based irrigation systems are a form of infrastructure supporting food security or agriculture. Water distribution is carried out through irrigation canals by involving the community in planning, management, operationalization, maintenance, and rehabilitation. One of the irrigation issues is sustainability, so it is necessary to know the variables that can be used to assess the level of sustainability. This study aims to identify the criteria and indicators of irrigation sustainability, the value of each of these criteria and hands, and the level of irrigation sustainability in the five irrigation case study areas. The study approach is mixed with quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis methods, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and scoring analysis. This study shows three criteria and 13 indicators in assessing irrigation sustainability: six hands-on economic measures, five on social standards, and two on environmental criteria. Furthermore, in the opinion of experts, the most important criteria in assessing the level of irrigation sustainability are ecological criteria, with the clearest indicators being water availability and efficiency; economic measures ranking second as supporting criteria, and social standards ranking third. Based on the irrigation area assessment results, the highest level of sustainability is the Daoe Irrigation Area because the percentage of water availability reaches 90% so that it does not require equipment assistance in water supply and is also supported by good water quality. The irrigation area with the second level of sustainability is the Teppo Kessi Irrigation Area, the third position is the Lajaroko Irrigation Area, the fourth position is the Tarennuang Irrigation Area, and the fifth position is the Lompulle Irrigation Area. The four irrigation areas have a percentage of water availability only ranging from 70% -75% and still need the help of pumps to supply water. This study offers recommendations to governments to maximize water availability; planning the construction of dams, weirs, and reservoirs as storage areas for irrigation water reserves; formulate policies related to agricultural funding cooperation and farmer capital assistance with private parties; be responsible for coordinating and clear division of tasks or authorities between district, provincial and central governments in supervising irrigation canals; establish an irrigation management agency equipped with rules and sanctions for areas that do not yet have a P3A group, stipulate regulations on the average selling price of rice or unhusked rice, fertilizers and pesticides in theiv market; establish a routine schedule with deliberations between P3A, farmer groups, and the government for maintenance, cleaning and maintenance activities in all irrigation areas; as well as the need to develop farmer resources and apply technological innovations in an effort to save water as well as conserve water.
