Abstract
This study studies and analyzes collaborative governance to develop a strategic paradigm for controlling illegal mining in the Indonesian province of West Nusa Tenggara. This study employed a qualitative approach with 16 research respondents selected using the snowball method. This investigation also employs descriptive analysis derived from observer triangulation analysis. According to the findings of this study, the collaborative governance in controlling illegal mining in West Nusa Tenggara Province has shown a positive direction if it continues to be carried out consistently between the current government and its law enforcement officers to control the persistent illegal miners in the jurisdiction area of West Nusa Tenggara Province. The PASTI collaboration model, which is comprised of the regional government, law enforcement officers, private sector, community leaders, and parent organizations, is the strategic model derived from the findings of this study and can be utilized to control illegal mining in West Nusa Tenggara Province (environmental observers).
