Abstract

This research aims to analyze motivation and issues, structure and networks between stakeholders in the management of Lake Limboto; and explains how the adaptive model intervenes in the management of Lake Limboto in Gorontalo Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, documentation, observation and carrying out Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Data were analyzed using the spiral technique. The results of the research show that the Gorontalo Regency Government from an Adaptive Governance perspective is not yet able/not ready to survive in the face of environmental changes that may occur at any time. The motivation and issues of each stakeholder show a desire to manage and even save Lake Limboto from damage, however, activities are still found in the Lake carried out by the community which actually accelerate the degradation of the Lake environment. The structural pattern in the management of Lake Limboto requires an adaptive model that utilizes the potential resources of each stakeholder, both from the civil sector; Private and Government.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the orchestration capacity of local government agencies in Gorontalo Regency in integrating community aspirations into development planning. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, document reviews, and focus group discussions involving officials, community representatives, and local stakeholders. The analysis focused on three main dimensions, namely technical, analytical, and communication capacity. The findings indicate that capacity fragmentation remains the main obstacle, as agencies with strong technical competence often show weaknesses in analytical ability, while those excelling in public communication tend to be weak in technical aspects. On average, only eighteen to twenty percent of community aspirations are accommodated in the regional budget, reflecting the dominance of sectoral programs, limited fiscal space, and weak inter-agency coordination. These challenges are further reinforced by regulatory frameworks that remain top-down, limiting regional flexibility to adapt policies to local needs. Nevertheless, the study identifies strategic opportunities to strengthen orchestration through the utilization of information technology to enhance transparency, accelerate data flows, improve policy integration, and expand public participation. Additional strategies include developing human resource capacity, promoting evidence-based planning, establishing IT-based coordination forums, and introducing regulations that are more adaptive to local contexts. The study concludes that strengthening orchestration should not be seen merely as an administrative process but as a transformative strategy to realize inclusive, responsive, and sustainable regional development governance.
