This article aims at explaining factors affecting the successfulness of coastal communities of
Gili Indah in constructing a governance structure of coral reef management. Coral reef management in
this region has changed from an ineffective state regime to a local governance. From the perspective

that are affected, among others, by actors’ characteristics such as organizational experiences,
opportunistic behavior, environmental awareness/perception, planning horizon, bargaining power,
technological skill and certainty; and trust, distrust and reputation. Using a distributional conflict
theory of institutional change, the results of this research can draw a conclusion that institutional
change process of coral reef management in the locality was strongly assumed affected by those factors.
