Island administration

Island administration refers to the management and governance of island territories, which may be part of a nation or independent entities. This involves the establishment of local governments that oversee public services, infrastructure, and resource management, tailored to the unique challenges of island life, such as limited land, accessibility, and economic sustainability. Effective island administration often requires balancing environmental conservation with tourism and development, ensuring the needs of residents are met while preserving natural resources. The approach can vary significantly based on the island's size, population, and relationship with the central government.
