Policy Model for Sustainable Tourism Development in Semau Island: An Integrative Study of Economic, Socio-Cultural, Environmental, and Stakeholders

This research is motivated by the development of tourism on Semau Island, which faces infrastructure constraints, limited community capacity, and weak stakeholder coordination due to top-down policy frameworks. The purpose of this research is to formulate an integrative policy model based on economic, socio-cultural, environmental, and stakeholder dimensions. The method used is a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. The results of the SEM-AMOS analysis showed that the integrative model had an R2 of 0.74 (excellent), with stakeholder coordination (β=0.69) as the strongest predictor of sustainability. The qualitative findings confirm the need to transition from a top-down to a co-governance model by establishing the Semau Tourism Sustainability Forum.
