Politik Restorasi Gambut Di Provinsi Riau Tahun 2016-2020
The Peat restoration is the government's political policy about activities to
degraded restore peat ecosystems activities due to the land conversion,
canalization, logging, and forest fires to have hydrological conditions, structures,
and functions back to normal, carried out by hydrological restoration,
revegetation, natural succession, and other ways by the development of science
and technology. Through Presidential Regulation No. 1 of 2016, President Joko
Widodo established the Peat Restoration Agency as a non-structural institution
that coordinate and facilitate peat restoration including Riau Province as the
main target. The target area for peat restoration in Riau based on the Indicative
Restoration Map (PIR) is 814,732 ha (PIR 1) and 997,292 ha (PIR 2). The peat
restoration performance in Riau Province 2016-2019 has interval of 93,751 ha in
the non-concession areas.
The problem is the nonholistic restoration performance due to the nonconcession
area as target, while 80% of the restoration target is the concession
area. In the context of BRG / TRGD authority is categorized as weak, because it
does not have attributive authority such as supervision and law enforcement, in
other contexts, the commitment and focus of local government in supporting and
taking over the issue of peat restoration as a mandatory choice issue in the
framework of regional autonomy is not seen, even in the next context the TRGD
did not play functional roles in the region, only limited to the infrastructure of
rewetting and KLHK information about peat restoration in the concession area
was limited information.
This study aims to prove the correlation and influence of power to the
inherent of peat restoration policy optimization, and what kind of opportunity that
strengthen institutional restoration in local as a new space. The theory used in
this research is the powercub theory and the common-pool resources (CPRs)
theory, a qualitative research approach with analytical-descriptive style.
The findings of this study indicate that the power and authority of
President and KLHK can influence the optimization of peat restoration, especially
in areas that are difficult to reach by BRG. Riau local government has not use its
authority yet to manage strategic choice issue such as peat, while Law 23 of 2014
in the concept of autonomy provides open space due to ecological urgency,
supported by the task of assisting by KLHK through decree. TRGD does not
reflect inclusive and democratic institution because it does not involve non-formal
stakeholders in its structure as Governor's Decree.
