Abstract

West Kalimantan, a region characterized by extensive forest areas and high biodiversity, faces a serious threat from the illegal trade of pangolin (Manis javanica) scales. Law enforcement in the conservation sector involves two investigative institutions, namely Civil Servant Investigators (Penyidik Pegawai Negeri Sipil; PPNS) of the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (Balai Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam; BKSDA) and Indonesian National Police Investigators (Penyidik Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia; Polri), which operate within a coordination and supervisory relationship (koordinasi dan pengawasan; Korwas). This study aims to analyze the synergy patterns between the two institutions in investigating criminal acts related to pangolin scale trafficking and to identify obstacles that hinder the effectiveness of such cooperation. The research employed normative legal research (yuridis normatif) with a qualitative approach based on a literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and analytically using the legal hermeneutics method. The findings indicate that although the regulatory framework, particularly Law No. 20 of 2025 concerning Criminal Procedure Law and Law No. 32 of 2024 concerning Natural Resources Conservation Agency (Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam dan Ekosistem; KSDAE), clearly regulates the division of functional roles, its implementation in practice remains constrained by sectoral egos, differing interpretations of criminal elements during the P-19 stage, limited forensic resources, and geographical barriers in border areas. This study recommends strengthening the Korwas function, implementing joint investigation training based on asset tracing approaches, enhancing digital forensic infrastructure, and developing permanent operational protocols for institutional synergy to achieve legal certainty and ecological justice.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the centralization of mining affairs from regional to central government under Law No. 3 of 2020 on Mineral and Coal Mining, creating a legal gap in West Kalimantan Province. The region remains burdened with obligations to implement the RAD-PPM under the Minamata Convention Ratification (Law No. 11 of 2017) to mitigate impacts of Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (PESK/PETI), while licensing control and operational supervision have been entirely withdrawn to the Central Government. This study analyzes the juridical harmonization of this gap and formulates strengthened Forkopimda governance to address obstacles in ecological supervision of community mining. The method used is normative-empirical legal research with a qualitative approach, employing Statutory Approach, Content Analysis, and Sociological Jurisprudence through interviews with the West Kalimantan DLHK, Mining Inspectors, and civil society organizations, analyzed using the Theory of Authority and Soerjono Soekanto's Theory of Legal Effectiveness. Results show that centralization triggers a norm antinomy and regulatory vacuum in operationalizing RAD-PPM, necessitating vertical delegation of remaining authorities. Overcoming multidimensional barriers limited infrastructure, budgets, and miners' dependence on mercury requires strengthening Forkopimda as an integrative harmonizer, ensuring law enforcement is not merely repressive but also accommodative toward legalizing People's Mining Areas (WPR) and non-mercury technology substitution for sustainable ecological justice.

Abstract

Demonstrations as a form of public participation in local democracy often face tensions with authorities, particularly when communication and conflict management mechanisms are ineffective. The demonstration at the Central Java Governor's Office in Semarang on August 29, 2025, which began peacefully but escalated into mass riots causing substantial damage and public disruption, highlights the urgent need to evaluate how local governments and relevant authorities manage demonstrations and their implications for public order and community protection. This research analyzes the role of local governments and relevant authorities in managing demonstrations, as well as their implications for public order and community protection. The study used a qualitative approach with narrative-descriptive analysis of interviews with 20 respondents (10 officers and 10 demonstrators) and linked them to a conflict governance lens. The data show that initially peaceful demonstrations turned into mass riots due to the motive of demands for justice for victims of violence by officers and rejection of government policies deemed not in favor of the people. The security approach of officers was predominantly repressive, while the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) played an administrative role. There was a sharp contrast in perception between officers who considered security measures in accordance with SOPs and demonstrators who considered the actions arrogant and traumatic. Conflict governance is still oriented solely towards maintaining order, thus recommending a transformation to a dialogue policing model, the implementation of the Elaborated Social Identity Model, multi-agency coordination, digital narrative monitoring, and human rights-based post-action evaluation.
