Ketidakseimbangan pemilikan tanah paling banyak menimbulkan masalah dan mensengsarakan rakyat hingga saat ini. Tulisan ini mencoba menelaahan implementasi kebijakan reformasi agraria dan permasalahannya di Provinsi Riau dalam bentuk model policy paper. Implementasi reformasi agraria di provinsi Riau hingga saat ini dapat dikatakan sama sekali macet dalam pelaksanaannya, hal ini terutama disebabkan oleh kurangnya kemauan politik pemerintah daerah serta kebijakan pembangunan yang lebih mengarah pada upaya mengejar pertumbuhan tanpa memperhatikan pemerataan ekonomi. Sehingga diperlukan sebuah alternatif strategi pembangunan agraria yang diwujudkan dalam reformasi agraria melalui membangun Sistem Informasi Pertanahan (SIP) yang berbasis desa/kelurahan pada pemerintahan kabupaten/kota.

Pekanbaru, Indonesia is connected by four big bridges, Siak Bridge; I, II, III and IV. The quality of the Siak bridges deteriorated seriously at this time. Geological mapping for the land subsidence potency was conducted using small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in the Siak Bridge areas. The study of the Siak bridges are supported by the Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) analysis using ALOS PALSAR satellite data, and the deflection observation that occurs in Siak III Bridge was observed by field measurement. The results of 3D model analysis showed that there is no negative land deformation. DInSAR analysis shows the amount of positive deformation of Siak I is 81 cm, Siak II is 48 cm, Siak III is 89 cm, and Siak IV is 92. Deflection on Siak III Bridge was detected at around 25-26 cm. These models could be used as a new way of measuring the bridge deformation on a big scale.

The community and industry have been developing sago products. However, the downstream industrial development of sago products carried out by the community is still very limited, both in terms of type and quality. The aim of this study was to formulate strategies and policies for the development of technology for downstream sago products, especially sago noodles. The study was conducted in the Meranti Islands District in 2019, with a sample of 40 sago noodle micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Data collection was carried out by means of surveys and focus group discussions (FGD). Data analysis using SWOT analysis. The results of the research found that the majority of sago processing technology was still traditional and semi-modern and 87.5% of the sago noodle product quality was not good. Efforts to organize the production space according to product hygienic sanitation standards and improve sago noodle product packaging technology are the right strategies to improve the quality of sago noodles. Therefore the policy of developing sago noodle downstream product technology is implemented by Building supporting facilities for the smooth running of the sago noodle business, such as providing clean and proper water facilities for processing sago noodles, Providing socialization, and improving the quality of human resources regarding quality and sago noodle packaging.

Sustainable development is at the core of the conceptual approach of biosphere reserves, so the objectives of biodiversity conservation must be in line with economic development, cultural enrichment, and the involvement of local communities. Community activities in the Giam Siak Kecil - Bukit Batu (GSKBB) biosphere reserve area have affected its ecosystem changes. The purpose of this study was to develop a model of sustainable community empowerment around the biosphere reserve area. Data collection was done through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, while data analysis was conducted with a qualitative approach. The results showed that the institutional management of community empowerment in buffer villages was still stagnant and not dynamic, so that community empowerment programs from the economic, social, cultural, and political sectors did not develop massively. Factors that hinder the management of community empowerment institutions in buffer villages are limited human resources, transportation facilities and information, the principle of cooperation that begins to fade, and the existence of institutions that are only formalities. The research concluded that the model of innovative collaboration in community empowerment institutional management is a suitable model to be applied in the GSKBB biosphere reserve area.

Wilayah perbatasan memerlukan sebuah mekanisme pengelolaan yang terintegrasi dan berkesinambungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan merumuskan strategi dan model pembangunan yang sesuai dengan kondisi wilayah pada Kecamatan Perbatasan Negara di Provinsi Riau. Lokasi penelitian ditentukan secara purposive di Kecamatan Rangsang Barat Kabupaten Kepulauan Meranti Provinsi Riau. Analisis data yang digunakan deskriptif dan kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa : pembangunan pada kecamatan perbatasan yang memiliki wilayah pesisir seharusnya dilakukan dengan melalui suatu pendekatan pembangunan yang menjamin terpeliharanya keseimbangan ekologi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi, yang dilakukan secara berkelanjutan dan terpadu, dengan meletakkan masyarakat sebagai basis pembangunan.
