Abstract

Indonesia, as the world’s largest archipelagic state, possesses a rich maritime heritage shaped by centuries of seafaring and coastal livelihoods. However, national development has long prioritized land-based sectors, marginalizing maritime culture within policy frameworks. This study aims to analyze how maritime-based development policies can serve as instruments for revitalizing maritime culture and to identify the challenges and opportunities for their implementation. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research draws upon Edward III’s policy implementation theory to examine policy communication, resource adequacy, bureaucratic structure, and implementers’ disposition as determinants of success. Data were obtained through documentation studies, secondary data from government institutions, and semi-structured interviews with policymakers, cultural actors, and coastal community leaders. The findings reveal that while comprehensive legal instruments such as Law No. 5 of 2017 on Cultural Advancement and Presidential Regulation No. 16 of 2017 on Indonesian Marine Policy exist, implementation remains weak due to fragmented inter-agency coordination, limited resources, and insufficient political commitment. Some local innovations, such as culture-based marine schools and regional maritime heritage mapping, demonstrate potential best practices. The study concludes that revitalizing maritime culture requires integrating socio-cultural values into policy planning, strengthening institutional capacity, and involving coastal communities as key actors. Such efforts are essential to transform maritime culture from a symbolic narrative into a substantive foundation for sustainable and inclusive national development.

Abstract

The Natuna and Anambas regions have a strategic position as a maritime border region that is a concern in the national agenda, including through designation as part of the National Strategic Project (PSN). However, the reality of local development shows high fiscal dependence on central transfers, weak local revenue, and vulnerability to global economic fluctuations. This study aims to assess the potential of the Natuna-Anambas Province formation in strengthening fiscal independence and improving local economic governance. Using an exploratory qualitative approach and fiscal policy analysis, this study utilizes secondary data from regional financial reports, BPS statistics, and a literature review related to fiscal decentralization and the resource curse. The results show that the regional revenue structure dominated by the General Allocation Fund (DAU) and Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) makes Natuna and Anambas vulnerable to central policy changes and commodity price volatility. In addition, the benefits of PSN have not been fully distributed to local communities due to limited institutional capacity and lack of integration of local economic development. The establishment of a new province has the potential to be a solution if accompanied by strengthening fiscal governance, reforming DBH allocation, and economic diversification strategies. This article recommends a policy roadmap based on a multi-level governance approach to promote fiscal autonomy and inclusive and sustainable economic development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of local government in utilizing marine capture fisheries potential to increase regional revenue in Bintan Regency, Riau Islands Province. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study illustrates the current conditions of marine and fisheries sector governance, while identifying institutional challenges and opportunities for trade system reform. The findings reveal that although capture fisheries production has steadily increased, its contribution to regional revenue remains significantly low. This is primarily due to suboptimal local governance, the absence of Fish Auction Centers (TPI), and the dominance of a closed distribution system controlled by middlemen (tauke), which weakens fishers’ bargaining power and eliminates potential local revenue from levies. The local government faces multiple structural challenges, including weak regulatory frameworks, lack of integrated production data, and the institutional disempowerment of fisher communities. Nevertheless, there are strategic opportunities that can be leveraged through the professional development and management of TPI. These centers can serve as critical instruments for ensuring price transparency, strengthening production records, increasing local revenue through levies, empowering fishers' cooperatives, and breaking the dependency on the tauke system. The study recommends the need for integrated, institution-based, and context-specific policies to support a sustainable and inclusive reform of the capture fisheries trade system in Bintan Regency.

Abstract

Bintan Regency, located in Indonesia’s Riau Islands Province, occupies a strategic maritime position adjacent to Singapore and Malaysia, making it a vital yet vulnerable zone for transnational narcotics trafficking. The geographical characteristics of extensive coastlines, scattered small islands, and numerous unofficial ports provide opportunities for smugglers to exploit weak surveillance and limited enforcement capacity. This study aims to analyze the strategies, challenges, and institutional coordination of the Bintan Resort Police (Polres Bintan) in combating maritime-based narcotics smuggling. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation studies, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model with triangulation for validation. The findings reveal that the Polres Bintan plays a crucial role in early detection and prevention through routine patrols, intelligence sharing, and coordination with the Navy, Customs, and BNN. However, enforcement remains constrained by limited personnel, only two patrol vessels, and the absence of an integrated maritime surveillance system. Inter-agency coordination is still fragmented due to overlapping authority and the lack of formal legal frameworks. Moreover, socio-economic vulnerabilities within coastal communities increase local involvement in smuggling networks. The study concludes that sustainable maritime security requires strengthening institutional synergy, enhancing technological capacity, and empowering communities as active partners in surveillance. A unified maritime governance framework is essential to transform Bintan from a vulnerable transit hub into a resilient maritime border zone for Indonesia’s narcotics control strategy.

Abstract

Marine pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges in coastal areas, particularly in areas with intensive shipping and tourism activities such as Bintan Regency, Indonesia. Recurrent oil spills, accumulation of marine debris and microplastics, and degradation of mangrove and coral reef ecosystems highlight the need for an integrated governance model capable of ensuring both ecological sustainability and the socio-economic resilience of coastal communities. This study aims to assess the performance of public management in controlling marine pollution in Bintan and propose a governance model that emphasizes strengthening institutional coordination, preventive measures, and accountability mechanisms. The method used is a case study with a qualitative-descriptive approach, based on secondary data obtained from government documents, environmental regulations, media reports, and international scientific articles. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis techniques to identify key issues, institutional roles, and the effectiveness of policy instruments. The results show that although regulatory frameworks such as PP No. 19/1999, DIKPLHD Bintan, and MARPOL obligations are in place, implementation in the field remains fragmentary and reactive, reflected in the recurrence of black oil pollution and limited ship waste reception facilities. This study emphasizes the importance of a polycentric governance model that integrates Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), collaborative governance between state and non-state actors, and economic instruments such as indirect fee schemes for wastewater treatment facilities. In conclusion, strengthening monitoring capacity, participatory evaluation, and multi-level actor integration are key to reducing the rate of recurrent pollution while protecting Bintan's coastal ecosystems and communities.
