Abstract:
Nowadays, the concept of the smart city has been a monumental issue. There are many factors of a smart city to be accomplished by the governments. One of the notable factors is the smart environment. The governments must make the policies that fully support the green city life. Instead of replicating the smart city concept, Banyuwangi Regency has gone up into the spotlight as a smart village innovator in Indonesia. In 2017, the Regent has finished Blimbingsari Airport terminal, a terminal with the green concept. The green airport is a main gate for the domestic and international tourists, supporting eco-tourism. The airport is also the example of the smart mobility implementation. Any government policy will always need the publication of mass media. By using content analysis, we identify what media talk about the green airport.
