Abstract

The Merauke Regency Government has officially issued Regional Regulation Number 6 of 2008 concerning Environmental Conservation, which regulates sand mining of C-class quary. As for all this time the community has been carrying out C-class sand mining activities continuously and without permission. This action resulted in coastal abrasion and had the effect of threatening the existence of Marind people who inhabited the coastal areas of Merauke. This research aimed to explain the role of Indigenous Peoples Institutions in an effort to reduce the actions of sand mining in question. This is very necessary because the customs of the coastal community have an attachment to the Marind Indigenous Peoples Institution which is the holder of customary rights to ulayat land in Merauke regency.The research method used in this research was descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques are observation and interview, while data analysis used data reduction, data presentation, verification, and conclusions. The results of this research indicate that strengthening the role of the Marind Indigenous Peoples Institution is to advocate and provide assistance to the community and intervene through the Sasi tradition which is expected to influence changes in attitudes of the community to be more aware of excessive sand mining.
