“…This research also tries to find the state of the art from previous studies to indicate the gap analysis, which includes knowledge, empirical, and theoretical novelties. Previous studies used power interest grid (Nurfatriani, Darusman, Nurrochmat, & Yustika, 2015), situation analysis model (Nurmala, Sari, Dewi, & Devi, 2021), modified stakeholder analysis (Mulyaningrum et al, 2013), thematic approach and net-map technique (Godakandage et al, 2017), network theory (Ancker & Rechel, 2015;Edelenbos & Klijn, 2006), Kingdon's stream model (Fischer & Larsen, 2016), stakeholder committee model (Malfait, Hecke, Hellings, Bodt, & Eeckloo, 2017), and public engagement (Cuppen, Brunsting, Pesch, & Feenstra, 2015) as their conceptual framework. The conceptual framework has not been able to observe the complex and colourful phenomenon of stakeholders, especially in the case of policy formulation in Aceh.…”
