Faculty of Law, Semarang University
Abstract
This study analyzes public-private partnership agreements in sustainable coastal zone management in Banyuwangi Regency. The study was conducted to understand the effectiveness of partnerships in responding to ecological, social, and economic challenges arising from the rapid growth of marine tourism. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study collected data through document studies, in-depth interviews, and field observations. The results show that public-private partnerships are an important strategy for overcoming the budgetary and technical capacity constraints of local governments, but the substance of the agreements does not yet fully integrate measurable environmental sustainability indicators. Implementation in the field reveals an imbalance of roles between actors, weak supervision, and minimal community participation in the process of drafting and implementing the agreements. Other findings confirm that the dominant economic orientation has resulted in ecological aspects being given less priority in the partnership scheme. Nevertheless, the cooperation agreement continues to make a positive contribution to the development of tourism facilities and local economic growth. This study recommends strengthening the substance of the agreement, increasing institutional capacity, integrating ecological indicators, and formally involving the community to realize sustainable coastal governance in Banyuwangi.
