Abstract
The Blue Economy concept is an economic approach focused on sustainable management of marine resources that can be a solution to the disaster crisis in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate public policy in the implementation of the Blue Economy concept in Indonesia to anticipate disasters. The research method used is qualitative with literature study as the main approach. The research findings show that existing policies related to the Blue Economy concept and disaster anticipation in Indonesia still need to be improved and strengthened in terms of application and coordination between sectors. The policy cycle in the Blue Economy concept is needed to formulate agendas, policy formulation, policy adoption and legitimacy, and policy assessment and evaluation. Challenges faced in the Blue Economy concept include the application of ecosystem principles, the development of environmentally friendly technology, increasing community involvement, and aligning government policies. In planning and implementing public policies in the Blue Economy concept, collaboration is needed between government, community, private sector, and academic institutions. Thus, synergy is created in building environmentally friendly economic sustainability and reducing disaster risks that impact human life and the surrounding environment.
