Abstract

The phenomenon of the distribution of coastal plastic waste is dynamic—triggered by currents, winds, waves, and extreme events—so static policies fail to maintain the cleanliness of destinations. Gorontalo's main problems include drainage-estuary leaks, cross-OPD data standards that are not yet uniform, and the performance of WWTP that has not included microplastic fractions. This study aims to map the governance SWOT, estimate the economic benefits of the ecosystem for the competitiveness of blue tourism, and analyze economic-environmental vulnerabilities to formulate a roadmap for 2026–2030. Using qualitative research case studies, the data were collected through in-depth interviews, FGDs, destination-estuary observations, and document review (policies, visits, cleaning operations, WWTP). Framework/Thematic analysis is mapped to a SWOT matrix and downgraded to TOWS. Results: identified strengths (OPD–community commitments, basic facilities, GIS capacity), weaknesses (data, transport logistics, microplastics), opportunities (EPR, green procurement, mixed finance), and threats (storms/floods, re-beaching, greenwashing). The finding shows that data standardization, forecast-based rapid capture SOPs, and microplastic testing in WWTP raise hygiene scores, accelerate recovery, and increase length of stay. Discussion: findings confirm the linkage between water quality–logistics operations–destination reputation. GIS integration, performance-based service contracts, and "blue destination" labels lock in market compliance. This study is important because it integrates coastal science, water governance, and destination economics into an executable policy framework. Implication of the study to use measurable roadmap (indicators, targets, person in charge, public audit). Further studies are suggested on policy trials and strengthening of cross-season sensor datasets.

Abstract

PLUT-KUMKM plays a strategic role in strengthening the capacity and empowering MSMEs through business mentoring, business consulting, legal facilitation, and marketing network development. Community service through a student internship program at PLUT-KUMKM Gorontalo Regency is a collaboration between universities and the local government to increase the capacity of MSMEs while providing practical experience for students. This activity aims to support business strengthening through administrative assistance, legal facilitation, and product promotion and marketing. The method used is a participatory approach by directly involving students in services and mentoring. Data was collected through observation, direct involvement, business administration management, and documentation. The results of the activity show a real contribution, namely mentoring approximately 25 MSMEs, facilitating NIB and halal certification for approximately 15 MSMEs, as well as support for entrepreneurship training, marketing, and MSME talk shows. This collaboration has had a positive impact and needs to be strengthened continuously.

Abstract

Regional disparities in service infrastructure persist across Indonesia despite spatial planning efforts. This study addresses the critical gap between normative planning (RTRW 2012) and empirical service center hierarchy in Gorontalo Regency. Using an integrated approach combining Guttman scalogram analysis and Marshall centrality index—a methodological innovation in regional analysis—we identified five hierarchical levels of service centers based on facility distribution across 19 sub-districts. The key finding reveals a serious asynchronization between planned hierarchy (RTRW) and empirical reality: while Tibawa is designated as the regional activity center (PKW), scalogram analysis demonstrates that Limboto and Telaga represent the functionally dominant centers with significantly higher service capacity and facility diversity. Conversely, several peripheral zones designated as PPL (environmental service centers) show higher potential than planned estimates. These findings demonstrate that spatial planning in Gorontalo Regency has not effectively aligned with actual economic and infrastructure development patterns. We recommend RTRW revision based on empirical evidence to optimize infrastructure investment allocation and support more equitable regional development. This research contributes theoretically by demonstrating the applicability of integrated spatial analysis methods to Indonesian regional contexts and provides practical policy guidance for responsive spatial planning in decentralized governance systems.
