Stakeholder Analysis of Coastal Management Policy in Indonesia

The coastal regions had a great ecosystem and potential for the sustainability of life. At the same time, growing human and environmental pressures in coastal areas significantly impact coastal systems. Various problems arise in the development and utilization of the coastal regions. The issues have prompted the importance of studying coastal area management policies. Specifically, legal uncertainty in the management of utilization has initiated the formulation of the RZWP3K policy. This study uses stakeholder analysis to map the actors involved and their influence on coastal area management policies. The study was conducted using a qualitative method and stakeholder analysis to explore and classify the actors shaping coastal area management policies. The stakeholder’s analysis method used variables of interest and influence to classify stakeholders into Key players, Context setters, Subjects and Crowds. Multiple objectives and concerns between the competing interests of different stakeholders are obstacles to the policy formulation process for coastal management. This study recommends that the government maintain stakeholders by keeping them informed, actively groomed, monitored and managed, or satisfied. This paper contributes to conceptual stakeholder analysis literature to analyze coastal area management policies.
