Abstract
Berau Regency, located in East Kalimantan, holds the potential of marine tourism projected to become one of Indonesia^s prominent tourist regions. Being a leading tourist destination involves more than just promoting the beauty and natural wealth- it also entails roles and responsibilities in preserving the potential for sustainability. The research methodology employed is a literature study with the intelligent island concept approach, involving pertinent empirical factors within the area such as resident behavior and socio-cultural aspects. Moreover, this study also considers four sustainability aspects: social, cultural, environmental, and economic. This research involves data collection through stakeholder interviews to identify challenges and obstacles in preserving tourism potential, thus leading to sustainable tourism. Overcoming the challenges of realizing sustainable tourism requires active and comprehensive involvement from stakeholders, including government, NGOs, the private sector, and the community. The synergistic engagement from various levels can foster a conducive environment for optimal outcomes. This research analyzes the roles and functions of stakeholders in enhancing residents^ awareness of coastal tourism in Berau Regency, aiming to materialize a sustainable marine tourism program. The coastal area under scrutiny is Pulau Derawan Village, a part of the National Strategic Tourism Area as stipulated by Government Regulation No. 50 of 2011. Pulau Derawan Village, serving as an ^exhibit^ of Berau, represents the natural wealth, culture, and commitment to sustainable growth. The primary tourism focus of this village is to maintain quality to ensure continuous potential.
