Sustainable tourism villages face complex governance challenges because they must simultaneously support economic development, protect local culture, preserve ecological resources, and respond to changing social conditions. Existing studies have examined sustainable tourism governance mainly from administrative, community-based, or institutional perspectives, but less attention has been given to how distributed authority interacts with nonlinear adaptive dynamics in village-level governance systems. To address this gap, this study develops an integrated framework that combines polycentric governance theory and chaos theory. Using a quantitative explanatory design, survey data were collected from 590 stakeholders involved in tourism village governance across four regencies and one city in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that institutional diversity has the strongest association with sustainable tourism village governance, followed by decentralization and local autonomy, bifurcation and cosmology, community participation, flexibility and adaptability, edge of chaos and the butterfly effect, and self-organization and strange attractors. The model yields a very high coefficient of determination, which suggests a close within sample fit between the proposed constructs and the observed perception data. This result is interpreted cautiously because the study is cross-sectional and several constructs are conceptually proximate. The study contributes to governance theory by showing that sustainable tourism village governance can be understood as both polycentric and complex-adaptive. Practically, the findings suggest that policymakers and tourism village managers should strengthen multi-actor coordination while maintaining flexibility to respond to uncertainty and local change.

This study examines the use of meronymy as a form of lexical cohesion in the dialogue of the film Final Destination: Bloodlines, based on Paltridge’s (2022) theory of lexical cohesion. The study aims to identify the types of meronymic relations found in the dialogue and to explain their role in maintaining coherence of meaning in audiovisual discourse. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through documentation by observing and transcribing the film dialogue. The data were analyzed by identifying utterances that contain part–whole relationships and interpreting their functions within the context of the scenes. The findings reveal seven instances of meronymy, which are realized through references to body parts, parts of buildings, and institutional elements. These meronymic expressions are predominantly found in scenes involving danger, injury, and critical situations. The analysis shows that meronymy functions not only to clarify specific references but also to connect smaller linguistic units to broader narrative contexts, thereby supporting coherence in dialogue. This study demonstrates that meronymy plays a strategic role in organizing meaning and enhancing the continuity of discourse in film dialogue. It contributes to the understanding of lexical cohesion in audiovisual texts by highlighting how part–whole relationships help construct meaning in context.
