Abstract:
Village tourism development serves as a strategic instrument for fostering local economic growth,
promoting equitable welfare, and ensuring environmental sustainability. This study examines the
implementation of a multi-actor collaborative governance model in village tourism development
by the Tanjungsari Village Government, Ciamis Regency, and identifies key factors influencing its
effectiveness within a sustainable development framework. Employing a qualitative case study
approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and
document analysis, involving stakeholders such as village officials, Tourism Awareness Groups
(Pokdarwis in Indonesian), and local communities. The analysis applies the Edward III policy
implementation model, focusing on communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic
structure. Findings reveal that while collaborative governance has been initiated, several
challenges persist, including limited human resource capacity, suboptimal policy communication,
insufficient integration of digitalization into formal governance frameworks, and an
underdeveloped bureaucratic system. Importantly, this study underscores that strengthening
community resilience emerges as a critical dimension, as adaptive capacity, local participation,
and social cohesion significantly influence the sustainability of tourism initiatives. The novelty lies
in the proposed Policy Practice Integration Model, which emphasizes dynamic alignment between
formal policies and community-based practices, positioning village institutions and Pokdarwis as
hybrid actors and digitalization as an adaptive instrument to enhance resilient and sustainable
village tourism governance.
