Abstract

This research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of how collaborative the government effectively implements governance in the development of a Tourism Village. The specific case study focuses on the Code Cokrodiningratan Tourism Village. To achieve this, a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis method was employed, utilizing both secondary and primary data sources. The research sample consisted of 12 individuals and 5 organizations closely involved in this collaborative effort. The study's findings shed light on several key aspects. Firstly, it was observed that the initial conditions laid out by the collaborating parties have been diligently executed. However, there exists some aspect for improvement, particularly in maximizing human resource indicators among all collaborating parties. Secondly, it the challenges conventional notion of government-centric leadership in collaborative governance, as per Ansell and Gash's theory. Surprisingly, the leadership role has shifted from the government to the community, notably the Pemerti Kali Code Community, which has taken the lead. Thirdly, the institutional design aspect of the collaborative governance process has been fairly well implemented among the three parties involved. Transparency in the process and active participation have been notable strengths. Lastly, in terms of the collaboration process, which serves as the primary indicator, there is a noticeable commitment to the dialogue process. Face-to-face discussions have played a pivotal role in fostering trust and nurturing a shared understanding among all parties involved.
