Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine how Good Environmental Governance has been implemented in Indonesia by synthesizing existing academic literature across environmental sectors and governance levels. It seeks to identify dominant governance principles, recurring implementation patterns, and structural challenges, while linking sectoral findings to broader debates on governance quality and sustainable development. Subjects and Methods: The study employed a literature review design. Peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, book chapters, and selected policy reports related to environmental governance in Indonesia were systematically collected from major academic databases. The reviewed literature primarily covers the post-decentralization period. Data were analyzed using a thematic synthesis approach guided by core Good Environmental Governance principles, including transparency, accountability, participation, rule of law, effectiveness, and equity, to ensure analytical coherence and theoretical rigor. Results: The findings indicate that Indonesia has formally incorporated Good Environmental Governance principles into its environmental policy framework. Transparency initiatives, participatory mechanisms, and collaborative governance arrangements have expanded across several sectors. However, the literature consistently reveals weak regulatory enforcement, limited institutional capacity, fragmented authority under decentralization, and persistent power asymmetries. As a result, environmental outcomes remain uneven, with localized governance successes coexisting alongside continued deforestation, pollution, and resource conflicts. Conclusions: The study concludes that the implementation of Good Environmental Governance in Indonesia remains partial and context-dependent rather than fully institutionalized. Strengthening environmental outcomes requires integrated improvements in accountability, institutional capacity, and political commitment. This review contributes to the literature by offering an integrative governance perspective and highlights the need for future research focusing on subnational variation, long-term governance dynamics, and political–economic drivers of environmental decision-making.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze how environmental governance is integrated with economic policy in Makassar City and to assess the extent to which this integration contributes to the development of a green governance model. Specifically, the study examines institutional arrangements, policy coordination mechanisms, and stakeholder participation that shape the alignment between environmental sustainability objectives and local economic development agendas. Subjects and Methods: The study employed a qualitative case study approach focusing on Makassar City as a rapidly growing urban center in Indonesia. Data were collected over a four-month period through semi-structured interviews, policy document analysis, and limited field observations. A total of twenty-seven informants were purposively selected, including local government officials from environmental and economic planning agencies, representatives of the private sector, civil society organizations, and community leaders. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to policy integration, governance practices, and institutional dynamics, with triangulation applied to enhance analytical rigor. Results: The findings indicate that environmental considerations have been increasingly incorporated into economic policy discourse and planning instruments, particularly through sustainability-oriented programs and green economy narratives. However, practical integration remains partial and uneven, as economic growth imperatives continue to dominate policy implementation. Institutional fragmentation, limited inter-agency coordination, and varying levels of stakeholder engagement constrain the effectiveness of green governance initiatives. Interviews revealed that environmental policies exert greater influence when aligned with short-term economic benefits, while long-term ecological objectives often receive secondary attention. Conclusions: The study concludes that advancing a green governance model in Makassar City requires stronger institutional integration, enhanced cross-sectoral coordination, and more inclusive stakeholder participation. By highlighting the governance conditions that facilitate or hinder policy integration, this study contributes to the literature on urban environmental governance and offers policy-relevant insights for cities in the Global South seeking to balance economic development with environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the role of public participation within adaptive governance frameworks in addressing the climate crisis in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Specifically, it investigates how participatory mechanisms contribute to adaptive capacity, institutional learning, and climate-responsive decision-making in a highly vulnerable urban context, while also identifying the structural constraints that limit meaningful citizen influence on climate governance outcomes. Subjects and Methods: The study employed a qualitative case study approach focusing on climate adaptation governance in Dhaka. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with government officials, local planners, civil society representatives, community leaders, and residents from climate-vulnerable neighborhoods, complemented by document analysis of urban climate policies, adaptation plans, and project reports. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis informed by adaptive governance theory to capture patterns related to participation, power relations, and institutional responsiveness. Results: The findings reveal that public participation has enhanced localized risk awareness, facilitated community-based adaptation practices, and supported incremental learning within climate governance processes. Participatory forums enabled communities to articulate local knowledge and immediate adaptation needs, particularly in relation to flooding, heat stress, and informal settlement vulnerabilities. However, participation was predominantly consultative, with limited influence on strategic planning and resource allocation. Power asymmetries, fragmented institutional coordination, and weak accountability mechanisms constrained the integration of community inputs into formal policy decisions, thereby limiting transformative adaptation outcomes. Conclusions:The study concludes that while public participation strengthens adaptive governance at the local level, its potential remains underutilized without stronger institutional integration and accountability. Enhancing the effectiveness of adaptive governance in Dhaka requires moving beyond procedural participation toward more inclusive, empowered, and multi-level participatory arrangements. These findings contribute to the literature on urban climate governance in the Global South by highlighting participation as both an enabling and contested dimension of adaptive responses to climate change.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine justice and equity in environmental governance in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, using a social-ecological sustainability perspective. It focuses on the distribution of environmental benefits and burdens, the extent of public participation, the recognition of indigenous rights and local knowledge, and the integration of equity principles within sustainability-oriented policies. Subjects and Methods: The research employs a qualitative, literature-based approach. Data were collected through a systematic review of peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, and relevant policy documents on environmental governance, political ecology, and environmental justice. The selected sources were analyzed using thematic coding to identify dominant patterns, structural challenges, and gaps in governance practices. Results: The findings reveal four major issues. First, environmental benefits from resource extraction and development are distributed unevenly, while ecological and social burdens are disproportionately experienced by local communities. Second, public participation in environmental decision-making is largely procedural and limited in influence, weakening policy legitimacy. Third, the recognition of indigenous rights and local knowledge remains insufficient, marginalizing community-based management practices that could strengthen ecosystem resilience. Fourth, equity principles are inadequately integrated into sustainability policies, which tend to prioritize economic growth and technical solutions over social inclusion. Conclusions: The study concludes that environmental governance in East Kalimantan continues to reflect structural inequalities that undermine social-ecological sustainability. Integrating distributive, procedural, and recognition-based justice is essential to promote more inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable development pathways.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine cross-actor collaboration in environmental governance and its role in strengthening coordination, enhancing community participation, improving policy implementation, and addressing institutional challenges at the local level. Subjects and Methods: The research employs a qualitative literature review approach. Data were collected from peer-reviewed academic journals, policy reports, and relevant institutional documents related to collaborative governance and environmental management. The selected sources were systematically analyzed using thematic synthesis to identify key patterns, dynamics, and challenges of cross-actor collaboration involving government agencies, civil society organizations, the private sector, and local communities. Results: The findings show that multi-stakeholder collaboration contributes to more integrated coordination mechanisms and helps reduce institutional fragmentation in environmental governance. Collaborative arrangements promote shared responsibility among actors and strengthen community participation through social learning, knowledge exchange, and capacity building. These processes support more adaptive and sustainable environmental management practices. In addition, collaborative governance improves the effectiveness of environmental policy implementation through joint monitoring, enhanced accountability, and more efficient use of resources. However, the study also identifies persistent challenges, including unequal power relations, limited organizational capacity, institutional fragmentation, and policy instability, which can undermine the continuity and long-term sustainability of collaborative initiatives. Conclusions: The study concludes that cross-actor collaboration plays a significant role in improving local environmental governance but requires stronger institutional frameworks, inclusive governance mechanisms, and sustained stakeholder commitment to ensure long-term effectiveness and sustainability.
