Abstract

This research examines the various implications of land-based sand mining activities in Bintan Regency, which have been ongoing since the 1980s. These activities are closely associated with significant environmental impacts resulting from mining processes that alter the landscape, causing changes to the physical, chemical, and biological environment. One notable outcome is the creation of the Telaga Biru Desert in Bintan Regency, which has become a popular natural tourist destination since 2015. The reutilization of post-mining areas after years of abandonment raises a critical question: How does the government address the multi-dimensional implications of land sand mining? These impacts encompass both positive outcomes, such as economic opportunities, and negative consequences, including risks to the physical and non-physical environment, as well as socio-economic challenges. This study adopts a descriptive and qualitative approach, utilizing primary and secondary data collection, processing, and analysis. The findings reveal that land-based sand mining activities in Bintan Regency have led to significant environmental and socio-economic consequences, including landscape alterations, biodiversity loss, and water pollution. Economically, the transformation of Telaga Biru Desert into a tourist destination highlights the potential for alternative uses of post-mining areas. However, the findings underscore the urgent need for clear governance frameworks to balance economic development with environmental sustainability.

Abstract

The Riau Islands, as a border region with Malaysia, have become a major transit point for prospective non-procedural Indonesian migrant workers before they are sent to Malaysia. Most non-procedural Indonesian migrant workers come from outside the Riau Islands Province and use two routes: the official route through international ports and the illegal route through unofficial channels. Economic factors and weak oversight in border areas are the main reasons why the Riau Islands have become a transit area. This study aims to analyze inter-agency cooperation in preventing illegal Indonesian migrant workers in the Riau Islands. This study uses a qualitative approach, in which data are obtained from in-depth interviews with BP3MI Riau Islands, Bakamla West Zone, and KKPPMP Batam Riau Islands, as well as from other secondary sources. Using Hasibuan's (2006) coordination theory, this study focuses on four indicators: unity of action, communication, division of labor, and discipline. The results revealed three main challenges. First, unclear regulations, particularly in Law No. 18 of 2017, make the prevention of non-procedural Indonesian migrant workers ambiguous. Second, BP3MI Riau Islands has not established a technical team and maritime fleet to support surveillance. Third, insufficient resources such as personnel, facilities, and budget hinder the effectiveness of cooperation. In conclusion, better coordination between agencies and optimization of resources are needed to strengthen surveillance. Structured cooperation is expected to overcome obstacles and enhance the effectiveness of preventing non-procedural Indonesian migrant workers in the Riau Islands region.
