Abstract

Mangrove forests are important resources that provide various ecosystem services ecologically, economically, socially, and culturally. However, the utilisation of mangrove ecosystems often faces management conflicts. Conflicts can occur between residents in the mangrove area or between agencies and levels of authority. The diversity of governance from various decentralised, connected and functionally different layers implies a complex system. The polycentric model is one approach to addressing the system's complexity. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques using interviews and observations. The aim is to examine the recognition of residents and the government for local community initiatives. This study found several essential things. First, the context of authority over the mangrove location by supra-village agencies, but in several decades, it has become a conservation and management area for residents. Second, recipients of ecosystem services and their utilisation involve residents from outside the administrative boundaries of the village. Third, cross-sector and level agreements for recognising mangrove ecosystem management initiatives based on local community wisdom. The model of recognition and autonomy given to local communities by higher authorities is the basis for sustainable polycentric governance of mangrove ecosystems. De facto autonomy includes four aspects, including: autonomy in decision-making, formal recognition, cross-actor collaboration, and control over access to resources.

Abstract

This research aims to reveal and explain the pattern of relations between the state (government elite) and the community, both the interest group (association elite) or the wider community (association members) in the salt industry in NTT. As a system of government, corporatism is still practiced, although with a model that is not as idealized by its early thinkers. Corporatism in practice has the opportunity to give birth to new elites as found in the research of the salt industry in NTT. The interests of the elites do not necessarily represent the interests of association members in general. Even in the salt industry, the interests of the elites conflict with the interests of members and the community. Government elites and business associations that have large resources of power manipulate customary institutions, churches, academics and communities to achieve their interests. This system also gives the state (government elite) authority and dominance over various decisions on the utilization of public goods (location of the salt industry or customary land) and determines which entrepreneurs invest (state dominance). Finally, the state is not present as a neutral referee for the contestation of various interests of citizens or associations of interest groups.
