Geographically, Indonesia as an archipelagic country with its two-third area of sea is the country with second longest coastline where most of coastal areas are administratively listed as rural. Increasing number of human activities on coastal area might lead to environmental degradation. Sustainable development has been one of the promising solutions to respond to the complexity of the conditions, incorporating more communicative and place-based approaches. There is a growing theory that leadership might be the missing variable that explains why some places are well-developed while others are not. Yayasan Bhakti Alam Sendang Biru is a local community initiative in a neighborhood located in Tambakrejo. This organization is established due to emerging issues of mangrove deforestation. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This research aims for assessing the role of place leadership in a case study area, Sendang Biru, and provide empirical approach on how leadership of the local community initiative could improve sustainable development. Some argue that sustainable development should be framed in place-based approach and positioned in a search of institutional arrangement that fits specific issues and situations in specific area. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The case study has discovered a strong individual leading actor behind the local community initiative and create collaboration with exogenous actors in developing the area. In other words, place leadership that plays role in supporting a community initiative for environmental sustainability in Sendang Biru is providing directive innovations through place-based joint learning of multidiscipline actors and domains. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Keywords: place-based, place leadership, rural area, sustainable development, local community initiative, institutional arrangement <br />
