This article examines recovery strategies in post-COVID-19 tourism villages in Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, utilising a rural tourism resilience approach involving multi-stakeholder participation. This qualitative study collected data through interviews, literature, social media, and local news online observations. The data obtained were then analysed with the help of a code from NVivo 12 Plus to visualise the multi-stakeholder network in the five tourism village recovery strategies through the sociogram network, group queries, and concept mapping queries. The results of this study reveal the following: First, the five tourist villages have different ways of getting back on their feet and getting more substantial for a massive recovery. Second, all government levels strongly support accelerating the five tourist villages' recovery via various media promotions of the four (Tembi, Kakilangit, Kebonagung, and Kampung Santan), except for Lopati's tourism village destinations. In addition, the two villages, in terms of the resilience of social networks, mostly need support in increasing institutional capacity (Kampung Santan and Lopati), fostering collaboration, and requiring creativity. Therefore, post-COVID, mechanisms for development and new ideas in two tourist villages (Lopati and Kampung Santan) were relatively noticeable. Some tourism villages still need leaders for programmes and activities. Further, the government's persistence in popularising tourist villages requires further improvement through media promotion, tourism awareness groups, and participation in the tertiary sector.

Introduction: This study addresses a significant empirical gap by examining how institutional resilience mediates the relationship between green governance and environmental policy effectiveness in managing mangrove ecosystems in Indonesia. Methods: A mixed-methods design was employed, integrating Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and MICMAC analysis to investigate causal relationships and strategic interdependencies. Results: SEM results indicate that green governance exerts a significant influence on institutional resilience (β = 0.67), environmental policy effectiveness (β = 0.61), and the low-carbon economy (β = 0.52), with institutional resilience and policy effectiveness serving as key mediating variables (Sobel z = 5.98 and 5.47, respectively). MICMAC analysis identifies public participation, regulatory enforcement, and environmental economic instruments as primary driving variables with high influence and low dependency. Institutional resilience emerges as a critical linkage factor, reflecting its dual function in both shaping and being shaped by governance dynamics. Discussion: The study offers theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions. Theoretically, it elucidates the mediating role of institutional resilience in connecting green governance to policy effectiveness and the transition toward a low-carbon economy. Methodologically, it integrates SEM and MICMAC analysis, combining statistical rigor with strategic foresight. Contextually, it provides empirical insights from mangrove ecosystems in Indonesia, representing the Global South, where governance challenges remain pressing and underexplored. Practically, the findings highlight actionable priorities—such as public participation, regulatory enforcement, and economic instruments—offering evidence-based policy direction to strengthen institutional resilience and advance green governance toward a low-carbon transition.

People’s Palm Oil Replanting (PSR) and green energy projects are crucial Indonesian initiatives aimed at achieving economic and environmental sustainability. This study explores the synergies between these programs, analyzing their impacts and interactions within natural resource management and sustainable energy. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through stakeholder interviews, policy document analyses, and field surveys across five major palm oil-producing districts in Indonesia. The findings show that integrating PSR and green energy initiatives can enhance land productivity, reduce carbon emissions, and improve peatland management. PSR projects, focused on rejuvenating aging oil palm plantations and adopting environmentally friendly technologies, support more efficient bioenergy production. Simultaneously, green energy initiatives promote renewable energy use and incentivize sustainable practices. However, challenges such as limited collaboration, budget constraints, and farmer resistance persist. To address these, this study proposes a policy framework including financial support, technical training for farmers, and improved stakeholder communication. By examining the intersection of agricultural and energy policies, this research highlights strategies to achieve sustainability goals and provides actionable insights for policymakers to design integrated, effective approaches that maximize the benefits of these initiatives

This research paper examines how digital governance evolves and intersects with collaborative governance to reshape the principles and practices of public administration. The research explores how digital platforms facilitate stakeholder collaboration, co-production of public services and evidence-based decision-making. The study also discusses the challenges that public institutions face in adapting to this new paradigm, including issues of digital divide, institutional resistance and governance capacity. These findings underscore the importance of aligning technological innovation with inclusive governance practices to achieve more effective, accountable and citizen-centred governance. The implications of this research suggest that future public sector reforms should prioritise digital inclusion, invest in collaborative capacity building, and strengthen governance networks to respond more adaptively to complex societal needs. Ultimately, this research suggests that the fusion of digital and collaborative governance offers significant potential to address complex policy challenges and enhance democratic legitimacy in contemporary public administration.
