 The results of this study indicate that the role of the West Sumatra provincial government which is part of an integrated regional law enforcement team (in accordance with the Decree of the Governor of West Sumatra Province Number 332-107-2019), is not running effectively because the role of the government as information is not well implemented. The lack of mining raids carried out by the government has an impact on the low level of community awareness. Many communities deliberately avoid mining raids which are only occasionally carried out by the government. In fact, this mining raid aims to provide socialization to the community about the importance of environmental balance in exploiting rock mines. Several factors that influence the role of the provincial government in controlling rock mining in the village of Sikabu are among others: a) Disparity of vision and mission among agencies that are members of the integrated regional law enforcement team. b) Limitation of provincial government budget for mining raids.
