The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Tanjungpinang City Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2022 concerning the Preservation and Management of Cultural Heritage has been carried out by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Tanjungpinang City however it has not yet been fully optimal. In terms of policy standards and objectives, the policy goals have been well understood by the implementers. Regarding resources, limitations in expert personnel and budget support remain significant challenges. The characteristics of the implementing organization demonstrate a clear division of tasks, although inter-agency coordination still needs improvement. Inter-organizational communication has been conducted through various coordination mechanisms, but it has not operated optimally. The implementers have shown a strong commitment to supporting cultural heritage preservation. Meanwhile the social and economic environment reflects community support, although the level of public participation remains uneven. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen resource capacity, enhance coordination among stakeholders, and increase public participation to support the sustainable preservation and management of cultural heritage in Tanjungpinang City.]]>
