Abstract
Institutional Analysis to Ensure the Sustainability of the Thousand Islands National Park
The Thousand Islands National Park, north of Jakarta, is a marine tourism destination centered on coral reefs. Increasing visitors have damaged most reefs, while management remains fragmented between central government, local government, and NGOs. This study analyzes which institution should be responsible for ensuring the park?s sustainability. Using expert discussions, secondary data, and ISM (interpretative structural modeling), the results show that the Seribu Islands National Park Authority (central government), the Seribu Islands Regency Government, and the Regional Tourism Office hold primary responsibility. Key challenges include weak coordination, weak law enforcement, and lack of sustainability awareness among tour guides. Building collaboration between governments and enhancing tour guide capacity are essential for long-term sustainability
