keberlangsungan

Keberlangsungan is an Indonesian noun that denotes the state or quality of being ongoing, continuous, or enduring over time. It is used to describe how long an entity, system, or condition persists despite changes in circumstances. In formal and policy language, the term often appears alongside discussions of governance, development, and resource management to emphasize persistence rather than transient success.

In everyday usage, keberlangsungan can refer to the persistence of institutions (such as a government or a company), culture, ecosystems, or economic activities. In public discourse and planning, it is common to address the keberlangsungan of programs or resources—questions of whether a policy or resource base can be maintained over the long term under various risks and pressures. While closely related to the concept of sustainability, keberlangsungan is typically rooted in continuity and endurance, whereas keberlanjutan more often foregrounds balance and ongoing viability across environmental, social, and economic dimensions.

In accounting and risk management, the more common phrase for business continuity is kelangsungan usaha, while keberlangsungan appears in broader discussions of long-term persistence across systems and sectors. The term thus occupies a niche in Indonesian discourse that overlaps with sustainability but emphasizes the enduring persistence of a state or condition over time.
