ABSTRACT In Yogyakarta, Indonesia, development in the tourism industry impacts the lives of local residents. Hotels, built in increasing numbers and grandiosity, place ever greater stress on a resource-dependent community with a declining water supply. Inevitably, conflict has arisen between locals and hotel corporations, with the local government playing the critical role of finding political solutions to the sustainability of residents’ daily lives and an active tourism sector. This study seeks to analyse the existing ecological politics of water as applied by the Yogyakarta government, and in particular to examine three questions: how water is used for daily consumption and tourism activities, what strategies the government has employed in authorizing the use of water, and how it controls water use while serving the public interest. Our findings show that residents and hotels differed in their usage of water. Hotels were found to violate several regulations regarding the sourcing of water and sustainable construction practices. Although the government has attempted to address the issue of water availability, its measures have not been carried out with the necessary forcefulness. As such, the government has not displayed the power to impose the rewards and punishments commonly delivered by governments that engage in ecological politics.

水的生态政治：日惹旅游发展的后果

摘要 在印度尼西亚日惹，旅游业的发展影响着当地居民的生活。越来越多、越来越宏伟的酒店给水资源供应不断下降的资源依赖型社区带来了越来越大的压力。当地人与酒店公司之间不可避免地发生了冲突，当地政府在为居民日常生活的可持续性和活跃的旅游业寻找政治解决方案方面发挥着关键作用。本研究旨在分析日惹政府应用的现有水生态政治，特别是研究三个问题：如何将水用于日常消费和旅游活动，政府在授权使用水方面采用了哪些策略，以及它如何在为公共利益服务的同时控制用水量。我们的研究结果表明，居民和酒店在用水方面存在差异。酒店被发现违反了有关水源和可持续建筑实践的多项规定。尽管政府试图解决可用水问题，但其措施并未以必要的力度执行。因此，政府并没有表现出执行生态政治的政府通常给予的奖惩的权力。
