The Pangpang Bay Mangrove Conservation and Restoration (MCR) Program
Authors: Prof. Dr. Teguh Kurniawan, M.Sc

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) create a unified global policy agenda in response to global problems. Co-creation as an ubiquitous concept is deemed as needed to achieve this goal, considering the issues are complex and challenging to manage. The concept has been carried out successfully in many developed countries, while it may require adjustment for developing countries. This research discusses the institutional formation of co-creation initiatives in a developing country setting and how the 15 Governance Factors (GF) provide support in achieving this co-creation. Qualitative methods through semi-structured interviews, focused group discussions, and observations were used for data collection. In addition to having been in existence for 34 years since 1990, the MCR Program in Pangpang Bay Banyuwangi was selected as the case study because it is located in one of the largest mangrove areas in the province of East Java. Mangroves cover the coastlines of several of Indonesia's 17,000 islands. However, in the most densely populated places, the world's largest mangrove ecosystems have been steadily depleted. This rehabilitation endeavour aims to accomplish the SDGs. This activity directly supports SDG 14, which focuses on marine and coastal governance. However, the restoration of mangrove forest ecosystems must be coordinated with the fulfilment of other SDGs, such as mitigating the effects of climate change (SDG 13), eradicating poverty and hunger (SDGs 1 and 2), and also support SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities aims to protect coastal cities and communities from climate-related disasters. The results of this study indicate that institutional formation in co-creation is a phenomenon that is nested into regulatory regimes, animated by actors' interpretations and contestations, and embedded in spatial and temporal contexts. Based on the research findings, GF 1 is the most important factor over all 15 GFs, the GF 8 obtained as impactful factor, and GF 6 scored as non-impactful factor.<br /> Keywords.
