Penta Helix Model For Sustainable Coastal Area Management in Bangka Islands
ABSTRACT
Coastal environment degradation in Bangka Island was closely associated with irresponsible stakeholders to
respond the issue. This study aimed to analyze the role of stakeholders using Penta Helix model with
descriptive qualitative approaches. The results showed the mapping of stakeholders’ role based on Penta
Helix model. The actors consisting of government, private, mass media, academician, and NGO have an
important role to enforce sustainable coastal management. The government has indicated an inconsistency
behavior due to poor policy and private sectors do not obey toward preservation of coastal areas. This study
suggested the government to review its policy recently published for sustainable coastal development and also
to crack down violating business actors

1. INTRODUCTION
Indonesia is one of the biggest archipelago countries with
over 99.093 km coastline [1]. There are abundant natural
resources with a large area of coastal dominance. Bangka
Belitung Island is one of the islands with a large potential
marine resource. The geographical condition of Bangka
Belitung Island shows that the sea area is four times wider
than the land area, i.e. 65,301 km or 79 percent of the total
Bangka islands. Besides the potential of fisheries, the
Bangka islands also rich in tin mining of which tin also
contributes greatly in the regional economic resources.
The abundant variety of potential natural resources in coastal
areas has led to a large number of stakeholders whose Figure 1. Situation Map on the Utilization and Use of Forest
