Furthermore, these policies need the support of various stakeholders to determine their roles and functions. Therefore, this study examines each stakeholder's roles and influences in the creative economy development based on the maritime culture in the Alor Regency. The snowball sampling method was used to obtain data from government, private, community, and non-governmental organizations. Besides, the analytical method used is descriptive and stakeholder analyzed comprising the mactor program (Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts: Tactics, Objectives, and Recommendations).
