Abstract

Tourism has become an important sector in the development of regional economic corridors in Bintan Regency, Indonesia. This district is famous for its attractive tourism destinations, especially Lagoi Tourism and Kampung Baru. However, this tourism development also faces serious challenges related to public space conflicts. This research aims to analyze existing tourism policies and how these policies influence public space conflicts in Bintan Regency, especially in Lagoi Tourism and Kampung Baru. The research method used is qualitative by conducting policy analysis, interviews with stakeholders, and literature studies. The results of the study show that tourism policy in Bintan Regency has played an important role in the growth of the tourism industry. However, this policy has also triggered public space conflicts, especially related to changes in land use, environmental impacts, and local community participation in decision making. This conflict involves various stakeholders, such as local government, developers, local communities, and tourists. The economic corridor seems to be a justification for all government actions in vacating or relocating land that has been settled by citizens. A number of government programs that fall into this category are MP3EI, MIFE, PSN, SEZ and so on. Through the decision of the governor of Riau in 1992, PT. Buana Mega Wisata succeeded in gaining control of around 23,000 hectares of land with ownership for 80 years. This research aims to elaborate on the alignment of the Bintan district government in fulfilling citizenship rights in terms of access to public needs for 42 households that are still in the special economic zone.
