Sustainable development has been one of the promising solutions to respond to the complexity of the conditions, incorporating more communicative and place-based approaches. There is a growing theory that leadership might be the missing variable that explains why some places are well-developed while others are not. This research aims for assessing the role of place leadership in a case study area, Sendang Biru, and provide empirical approach on how leadership of the local community initiative could improve sustainable development. Some argue that sustainable development should be framed in place-based approach and positioned in a search of institutional arrangement that fits specific issues and situations in specific area. Place leadership that plays role in supporting a community initiative for environmental sustainability in Sendang Biru is providing directive innovations through place-based joint learning of multidiscipline actors and domains.
