Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems provide many benefits for human life, both directly and indirectly. Mangrove areas have a very vital function because they can hold water from entering the land and also as a barrier to coastal abrasion. The lack of community understanding about mangroves makes them not take care of mangrove forests which have various benefits for coastal ecosystems. The main objective of the Mangrove Area Revitalization and Conservation Program is the preservation of the coastal environment. The risk of environmental damage in coastal areas, namely the abrasion disaster, is a scourge for the residents of Pangkalan Jambi Village. The implementation of the Mangrove Area Conservation and Revitalization program refers to the results of the 2017 Pangkalan Jambi Village Social Mapping, so it is necessary to see how the role of each actor is. Based on these important issues, this study aims to determine how governance collaboration is in implementing the revitalization and conservation program for sustainable mangrove areas. This research uses a qualitative approach. Primary and secondary data were collected using in-depth interviews, observation and documentation techniques. Interviews were conducted with key informants using purposive sampling method. After that, the data were analyzed using N-Vivo 12 to describe, explain and place the data in their respective contexts which will be explained in words through the stages of data reduction. The results show that collaborative governance in the implementation of the revitalization and conservation program of the Bengkalis mangrove area is optimal, which can be seen from the dynamics of collaboration, Collaborative actions, and impacts and adaptations on the collaboration process.
