<![CDATA[This study aims to comprehensively identify the main problems in the implementation of regional asset management in Riau Province, investigate their root causes, and propose policy strategies to align practice with applicable legal provisions. To pursue these aims, this research utilizes an empirical legal approach combined with a descriptive qualitative method. The empirical legal approach allows the researchers to observe and interpret how laws and regulations, particularly Government Regulation Number 27 of 2014, Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 47 of 2021, and related regulations, are implemented in practice. The study was conducted in three stages: first, analyzing the BMD management cycle; second, identifying key issues through Pareto analysis; and third, employing SWOT analysis to assess internal and external factors affecting implementation. The main data were collected from observation, document review, and in-depth interviews with heads of regional apparatus organizations. The results show persistent problems at all stages of asset management, from planning, administration, utilization, and supervision, due to weak legal compliance, poor IT infrastructure, incomplete ownership documents, and a shortage of human resources and training. To address these issues, strengthening regulations, optimizing information systems, and developing policy strategies are recommended to enable more effective, efficient, and accountable Regional Asset management in Riau Province.]]>
