The abuse of tea-plantation permits and the conversion of protected areas in Bogor have reduced water infiltration and heightened flood risk in this urban buffer zone, while the implementation of green tourism as a mitigation strategy remains obstructed. This study aims to identify the structural barriers to realizing sustainable green tourism in Bogor and to formulate policy solutions based on multi-actor collaboration. It employs normative legal research analysed qualitatively and descriptively, combining statute, conceptual, and case approaches, with library research and document analysis as data-collection techniques and thematic content analysis as the analytical method. The findings reveal four interrelated challenges: weak legal enforcement and a governance gap between norms and institutional practice; high initial costs and short-term profit orientation among businesses; limited community awareness and participation; and the absence of clear sustainability indicators and inter-agency coordination. The study concludes that green tourism can function as an ecosystem-based disaster-mitigation strategy only when it is integrated into formal spatial planning and supported by stronger local regulation, participatory community-based monitoring, fiscal incentives, and horizontal-vertical collaboration among government, the private sector, and local communities. Its contribution lies in integrating spatial-planning, community-participation, and green-tourism perspectives into a single analytical framework grounded in local policy challenges.
