Abstract

Coastal areas in Indonesia face dual pressures: increasing environmental risks such as abrasion, sea level rise, tropical storms, and mangrove ecosystem degradation, as well as socio-administrative conflicts arising from spatial management, government authority, and administrative disputes. This article explores how coastal resilience can be built through an integrated approach encompassing environmental, social, and state administrative dispute resolution mechanisms. Based on a juridical-normative research method on coastal and small island management policies, including regulations on dispute resolution over local government authority and non-litigation mechanisms, it is found that transparency of authority, coastal community participation, ecosystem restoration, and clear administrative procedures are key to strengthening the sustainability of coastal cities. The research also shows that without clear regulations and effective dispute resolution practices, sustainability and resilience efforts can be hampered by administrative and social conflicts. This article then proposes a strategic framework that integrates environmental adaptation, social inclusion, and administrative reform as a foundation for resilient coastal cities in the future.
