Network Governance in Natural Resources Management and the Role of Multi Stakeholder Collaboration in Banyuasin Regency

Abstract

Natural resource management is a strategic issue in sustainable development in various countries, including Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the role of network governance in natural resource management through multi-stakeholder collaboration in Banyuasin Regency. The approach used is qualitative with a case study method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that the success of natural resource management is greatly influenced by the quality of interaction between actors, the level of trust, and the effectiveness of institutional coordination. However, there are still challenges in the form of policy fragmentation, low integration between sectors, and limited capacity of local actors. This study recommends strengthening coordination mechanisms, increasing institutional capacity, and developing adaptive collaboration models to support the sustainability of natural resource management.
