GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL: AN EVALUATION STUDY OFLOCALGOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE IN COASTAL PROTECTION IN MAJENE
Keywords:
Good environmental governance, Majene, coastal protection, local goverment, performanceAbstract
This study assesses the local government's performance in safeguarding the Majene coastline through the lens of the Good Environmental Governance (GEG) framework. Utilizing qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and observations across four coastal sub-districts (Tubo Sendana, Sendana, Pamboang, and Malunda), the findings reveal that GEG principles are not being implemented to their fullest potential. Community participation is inconsistent, while transparency and accountability are insufficient. Additionally, the effectiveness of environmental programs is low, and law enforcement remains limited. The results underscore the necessity of integrating participatory approaches and strengthening regulations to improve environmental governance at the local level.
