Abstract

The coast of Trenggalek Regency, East Java, is a region with captivating beauty and significant potential in terms of its natural and human resources. It is important to strike a balance between these two potentials while considering the well-being of the residents in that area. However, it is important to note that the people residing in the coastal area of Trenggalek continue to face significant challenges in terms of their economic situation, resource management, and education levels. The research aims to assess the effects of coastal human resource management on economic growth, environmental sustainability, and the well-being of local communities. The empirical method employed in this quantitative case study involved gathering research data from the local government and conducting interviews with relevant stakeholders. The study found that effectively managing the disparity in coastal human resources has a substantial and beneficial effect on economic growth, environmental sustainability, and the well-being of local communities. The study emphasised that stakeholders involved in addressing disparities in coastal human resources adhere to regulations and effectively collaborate with one another.
