Abstract

This study discusses the intergovernmental relations in mining management in Riau Province. The presence of a new local government law requires a change of authority in the field of mining to the provincial government from the previous one to the district government in terms of issuing permits. The existence of gold mining without a permit requires the provincial government to manage the mining sector through cooperation with the district government. This research examines the extent to which this authority affects illegal mining activities in Kuantan Singingi Regency. Using the theory of intergovernmental relations, this article looks at how the relationship between the provincial government and the district affect the enactment of mining authority on the provincial government. The transfer of authority to the province shows the weakness of the district's position in terms of overcoming the problem of gold mining without permission. Further, the absence of regional regulations concerning gold mining activities has caused weak regulation of gold mining management in Riau Province.
