Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a locally compact quantum group and let
$I$ be a closed ideal of
$L^{1}(\mathbb{G})$ with
$y|_{I}\neq 0$ for some
$y\in \text{sp}(L^{1}(\mathbb{G}))$. In this paper, we give a characterization for compactness of
$\mathbb{G}$ in terms of the existence of a weakly compact left or right multiplier
$T$ on
$I$ with
$T(f)(y|_{I})\neq 0$ for some
$f\in I$. Using this, we prove that
$I$ is an ideal in its second dual if and only if
$\mathbb{G}$ is compact. We also study Arens regularity of
$I$ whenever it has a bounded left approximate identity. Finally, we obtain some characterizations for amenability of
$\mathbb{G}$ in terms of the existence of some
$I$-module homomorphisms on
$I^{\ast \ast }$ and on
$I^{\ast }$.
