The central question in this research is: ‘what factors and components contribute to achieving sustainable security within the framework of good governance? Since this is an study using data collection and it does not aim to test a hypothesis. Instead, the researcher uses qualitative data analysis through grounded theory, utilizing MAXQDA 2022 software to identify and evaluate key dimensions, components, and categories.
The study was conducted using purposive sampling, with semi- structured interviews held with 25 experts and academics until theoretical saturation was reached. During the open coding phase ,254 initial codes were identified, and through selective coding around the central theme, the concepts and categories were continuously compared and refined, leading to 46 concepts summarized into seven dimensions.
