Abstract

The emergence of borders between autonomous regions is a question, this is based on the reason that before the division was held, there were already regulated about a number of requirements that must be met by a new region before it was expanded. Therefore, in this section, a study will be conducted on whether the border problem is a mere border, or there are other triggering factors outside the border. In the context of regional expansion, boundary delimitation has already been enacted by the law on the formation of an area. However, the problem is making the boundary line which has been implemented in the form of a law-wiping in displaying pictures of each existing area. The differences between these parties lead to the occurrence of border disputes between regions. In reality, the triggering factors for border disputes are motivated by various motives. Mexsasai Indra’s study is related to border factors between districts/cities, the trigger for the occurrence of borders between districts/cities is not singular, but an inventory of juridical problems is the dominant problem, namely 24 cases out of 32 cases, this juridical problem is closely related to the different perceptions of each autonomous regions related to the border caused by the ambiguity of the law on the formation of regions. Then followed by natural resource factors (SDA) 5 cases, public services 2 cases, and natural factors 1 case. Specifically, for Riau Province, regional boundary disputes occurred, among others; Kampar Regency to Siak Regency, Kampar Regency to Kuantan Singingi Regency, Pelalawan Regency to Kampar Regency, Bengkalis Regency to Rokan Hilir Regency, Rokan Hulu Regency to Siak Regency, Rokan Hulu Regency to Bengkalis Regency, Rokan Hulu Regency to Rokan Hilir Regency, Kuantan Regency Singingi with Pelalawan Regency, Kuantan Singingi Regency with Indragiri Hulu Regency. The anatomy of regional boundary disputes in Riau Province, seen from the triggering factors, among others, not only government administration problems are also triggered by land ownership factors, lack of public awareness about regional boundaries, such as perceptions formed in the community that boundary shifts cause civil rights such as property rights, Regional maps that are not yet uniform, have an impact on the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW), the construction of boundary gates is not coordinated.
