Data collection methods in this study consisted of field surveys, interviews, and literature studies. The data analysis technique consists of descriptive analysis and MDS analysis with Rapforest software. The results showed that the multidimensional level of sustainability in the management of the Sungai Pulai Protection Forest was included in the less sustainable category (37.59%). If viewed from the level of sustainability of each dimension, the results show that the ecological dimension and institutional law are quite sustainable, the socio-cultural dimension is less sustainable, and the economic dimension is not sustainable.
