Stakeholder Involvement

The Regent of Tangerang Regency has expressed support for developing the bamboo park concept and advancing the local community's creative economy industry. In September 2024, the Regent issued a decree establishing the Creative Economy Committee for the 2024–2029 period number 500.13/Kep.869-Huk/2024. The decree outlines the roles and structure of the committee, which is chaired by the Regent, with the Regional Secretary as the secretary and members comprising all departmental heads. The implementation team includes academics, community members, craft practitioners, regional art performers, and media representatives.

The involved departments include:

• The Department of Youth, Sports, Culture, and Tourism
• The Department of Industry and Trade
• The Department of Cooperatives and Micro Enterprises
• The Department of Manpower
• The Department of Investment and Integrated Services
• The Department of Education
• The Department of Environmental and Sanitation Affairs
• The Department of Agriculture and Food Security
• The Department of Communication and Informatics
• The Department of Regional Revenue
• The Agency for Financial and Asset Management

As stipulated in the Regent’s decree, the Creative Economy Committee is tasked with the following:

1. Facilitating intermediation and coordination with policymakers, creative economy actors, and other relevant stakeholders to advance the creative economy.
2. Strengthening networks and coordinating with both national and international creative economy networks.
3. Developing strategic programs and implementing activities to accelerate the growth of the creative economy.
4. Assisting the Regent in formulating policies for creative economy development, providing direction, and overseeing the implementation of creative economy action programs.
5. Submitting implementation reports to the Regent.

The development of the bamboo tourism park involves not only the Creative Economy Committee but also the SEHATI (School for Biodiversity) program. SEHATI was initiated by the Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA) as an effort to preserve the environment and promote biodiversity conservation in schools. The bamboo arboretum serves as a medium for education and horticultural therapy. Furthermore, seven universities in Tangerang Regency offer curricula related to bamboo development.

The planning process for the bamboo tourism park will also involve universities with psychology programs. Psychology students undertaking internships will contribute by providing free counseling services to the community.

The bamboo tourism park, designed with an ecotherapy concept, will be replicated in 29 districts and adapted to the local environmental conditions and human resources. Additionally, local wisdom will be showcased within the tourism parks.
