Abstract

The implementation of governance regulations in developing coastal-border ecotourism in Indonesia still faces challenges, such as differing views on managing ecotourism areas and the government's ability to supervise and control extensive and hard-to-reach border areas. To improve the implementation of governance regulations in developing coastal-border ecotourism in Indonesia, a synergy between governmental institutions and local community groups should be established, and the human resources capacity should be enhanced. Infrastructure should also be built, and environmental surveillance and control should be improved. The post-positivism research method is utilized to identify the implementation process and policies in governance regulations in developing coastal-border ecotourism in Indonesia. The findings indicate that implementing governance regulations in developing coastal-border ecotourism in Indonesia has challenges and obstacles. Still, it also has supporting factors such as support from various parties, clear regulations, and efforts to increase community participation in ecotourism management. Governance regulations in developing coastal-border ecotourism in Indonesia must consider the interests of the environment and local communities. The government must ensure that ecotourism development in coastal areas is conducted with local wisdom and sustainable development.
