KEBIJAKAN TATA GUNA LAHAN, DEFORESTASI, DAN RISIKO BANJIR DI SUMATERA BARAT: ANALISIS ADMINISTRASI PUBLIK

Abstrak

This research aims to analyze the implementation of land-use policies in West Sumatra through a Public Administration perspective and illustrate the interconnection between these policies, deforestation, and flood risks as a consequence of regional administrative practices. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as policy document analysis (Spatial Plans/RTRW, Regional Medium-Term Development Plans/RPJMD, and related local regulations), in-depth interviews with local government officials and relevant stakeholders, and secondary data on deforestation and flood events as empirical context. Data analysis was conducted thematically, emphasizing policy implementation processes, institutional governance, and coordination and oversight mechanisms. The results indicate that land-use policies in West Sumatra face various implementation obstacles, particularly weak control over spatial utilization in hilly areas, limited inter-agency coordination, and low supervisory capacity. These conditions contribute to ongoing deforestation, which ultimately exacerbates the risk of floods and landslides. This study reaffirms the importance of strengthening public administration governance in land-use policy as a primary prerequisite for flood risk mitigation in disaster-prone regions.
