Forest and land fires remain recurrent environmental problems in Riau Province, particularly in Kampar Regency, generating significant environmental, health, social, and economic consequences. Extensive peatland areas further increase the vulnerability of communities and ecosystems to persistent fires. This study aims to examine the implementation of Riau Provincial Regulation Number 1 of 2019 concerning Forest and Land Fire Management and analyze its implementation through the framework of fiqh siyasah tanfiziyah. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a field-based design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and documentation involving relevant governmental institutions, community members, and stakeholders engaged in forest and land fire management. The findings indicate that the regulation has been implemented through preventive measures, emergency responses, and post-fire management, including public awareness campaigns, routine patrols, community-based fire prevention groups, and inter-institutional coordination. Nevertheless, implementation remains suboptimal because of inadequate facilities and infrastructure, limited human resources, weak coordination among stakeholders, and insufficient community awareness of fire prevention. From the perspective of fiqh siyasah tanfiziyah, the implementation reflects the principles of maslahah, governmental responsibility, public stewardship, and protection of collective welfare. The study concludes that regulatory implementation requires stronger institutional capacity, more effective inter-agency coordination, and greater community participation to achieve sustainable fire prevention and management. This study contributes to the discussion of Islamic public governance by demonstrating how fiqh siyasah tanfiziyah can provide a normative framework for evaluating the implementation of environmental regulations and strengthening the protection of public welfare in regions vulnerable to forest and land fires.
