This paper is aimed to explain the presence of marine potentials in the southern coastal area of Lebak Regency, Banten Province that have not been fully exploited. There are several potentials found in this Regency, the extensive coastline of approximately 91.42 km², and the marine resources and fisheries that could be developed. The potentials include not only fisheries and tourism but also mining. With such a high rate of development in the coastal area of Lebak Regency, it will certainly cause various problems in the region such as First, the degradation of coastal and marine ecosystems in Lebak Regency; Second, the increasing intensity of environmental pollution caused by mining and extraction activities; Third, the vulnerability to natural disasters (abrasion, tsunami, erosion, climate change, et cetera); Fourth, the occurrence of area utilization conflict; and Fifth, low productivity of biological marine resources utilization. The method used in this study was a qualitative research method with in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that two issues become marine management problems in the southern coastal area of Lebak Regency, the first is environmental degradation, the second is space use conflicts, and the third is waste pollution due to organic and non-organic waste. Meanwhile, actor mapping shows that the government, in this case, the Regent as the authority in the area, has the power, influence, and interest to give input to the marine management of the Southern Coast of Lebak Regency so that it would not only increase the local revenue but also have a significant effect on the local communities, especially the fisher people and, and the environmental sustainability.

The fishing community is a community that is strongly dependent on the sustainability of marine natural resources. Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world and has a wealth of marine economic potential. Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City is located on Banten’s North Coast which has a fairly good marine potential and has a National Fishing Port (PPN) which is a type B fishing port in Banten Province. These advantages were why PPN Karangantu was appointed as a fisheries industrial area (formerly a minapolitan) for the catch fisheries subsector since 2010. However, facts show that this potential is still not well-managed and thus does not yet have a significant effect on improving the fishing community’s welfare. Until this article was written, poverty and the fishermen remains an unresolved issue. To resolve the problem there needs to be a collaboration between multiple actors: the government, the private sector, the public communities, and the fishing community should work together and encourage policies regarding the coastal community economic empowerment through the development of a mutually profitable fishermen group joint business endeavor which would have a significant effect on the people's welfare, especially the fishing community in Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City. The present study is a descriptive qualitative study. Data were collected in three ways: interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis for both primary and secondary data was conducted with the Nvivo 12 Pro software. The study results indicated potentials that could significantly improve the economy of the fishing community in Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City, especially in the fisheries and tourism sectors. However, this can only be realized if there is a collaboration between actors, including the central and regional government, business actors, environmental NGOs, and the fishing community.

Cilegon City is an area that is prone to various types of disasters, including natural disasters. Natural disasters are natural phenomena that can result in environmental damage and destruction which in the end can cause casualties, property losses and damage to developments that have been built so far. Cilegon City is an area that is prone to disasters, one of which is the Ciwandan District. This area has the potential for complex natural disasters. Not only the threat of flooding at the end of every year, but this industrial city is also prone to hurricane and industrial disasters. Based on the records of the Cilegon Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) for the last two years, the threat of flooding and tornadoes is in the first place. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. That is with the aim of knowing how to implement the mitigation management function carried out by the regional disaster management agency (BPBD) in dealing with flood hazards. The results showed that the disaster management planning process through the mitigation management approach in Ciwandan District had been implemented even though there were stages that were not maximized.

The involvement of civil society and society groups through the concept of participatory budgeting in public management, especially in the budgeting process is a key factor in realizing good governance. In the context of the Provincial Government of Banten, this province is an area with a good budget potential, both from the original revenue of the region and from the overall income, but the condition has not made a significant impact on the development of the region, as it can be seen from the two districts in Banten Province which are included in the category of underdeveloped areas, namely Lebak District and Pandeglang District.This condition clearly requires innovation in budget planning by putting forward several principles, namely: prioritizing accountability, paying attention to value for money, creating transparency, using honesty approach in financial management, and encouraging the creation of control in budgeting implementation.Therefore, this paper tries to give an idea of the importance of budget policy innovation in Provincial Government of Banten through participatory budgeting, so that high budget potential can give significant impact to the development and prosperity of the society in Banten Province.

Secara subtantif, tata kelola pemerintahan mempunyai tiga unsur penting. Ketiga unsur tersebut menjadi acuan dalam menjalankan roda pemerintahan. Begitu juga dalam pengelolaan pariwisata yang membutuhkan 3 pihak yang harus berkolaborasi, yakni : Pemerintah Daerah, Swasta, dan Masyarakat sekitar lokasi pariwisata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Tata Kelola Manajemen Pariwisata di Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus Tanjung Lesung. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data adalah wawancara, dokumentasi, dan observasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengelolaan pariwisata di Kabupaten Pandeglang, khususnya di Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus Tanjung Lesung berjalan sesuai dengan harapan baik, namun dalam pelaksanaannya tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa sering terjadi konflik. Selanjutnya dalam hal Public Private Partnership tercipta kontrak yang baik antara pihak swasta dan pemerintah, namun dari pengelolaan diserahkan kepada pihak swasta, dan pemerintah hanya membuat kebijakan-kebijakan yang berkaitan dengan pengelolaan wisata di daerah tersebut.
