Abstract
The management of tin mining in the Bangka Belitung Islands, which is the world’s second largest producer of the mineral, is a complex issue, and has divided the community into two factions. One side is concerned about the ecological impact and other social implications of tin mining, while the other side is concerned with the island’s economic dependence on tin, overlapping policies and law sub-optimal enforcement. This study discussed how local elites view ideal tin mining governance. The researchers found that the elite in Bangka Belitung wanted a change in governance by changing national tin mining policies and proportional distribution of authority between the central and regional governments. This showed that there is a gap between the desire for change in the tin mining industry, and to remain passive in an established order.
