Analysis of Actors in the Management of C Quarry Mines: A Case Study of Watusampu and Buluri Sub-Districts, Palu City

The management of Class C mining in Watusampu and Buluri involves various actors with interests that interact and influence each other. This study analyzes the configuration of actors—local governments, mining companies, local communities, and advocacy groups—and how their power relations, capacities, and interests shape the dynamics of mining governance. Using an actor-centered institutionalism and stakeholder analysis approach, this study identifies that weak inter-institutional coordination, imbalanced power relations, and minimal public participation are the main factors contributing to the low effectiveness of the implementation of Regional Regulation No. 13/2016. The findings highlight the need to strengthen the government's role as regulator, increase company accountability, and foster inclusive collaborative strategies.
