Understanding the Dynamics of Multi-Actor System to Accelerate Implementation of Green Port in Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia's vision to become a global maritime axis requires the government to improve connectivity, reduce logistics costs, and meet international port standards’ requirements. A growing of international port standards recognizes the need to standardize sustainable port development. Indonesia's government proposed a green port policy to meet this requirement. However, different views and interests make it difficult for the government to coordinate private stakeholders and the various economic sectors to support the policy implementation. This paper analyzes different perspectives from different actors to find potential conflict as the basis for the government collaborates among actors to accelerate Indonesia's green port implementation. Dynamic Actor Network Analysis (DANA) is used to define each viewpoint in the perspective diagram systematically. Each perspective diagram generates one hypothesis, and we get which actors with the potential to cooperate and which actors are not by confirming all hypotheses. This paper concludes that DANA can develop and promote multi-actor system arrangements that address all port-related stakeholders’ interactions.
