The Importance of Law Acknowledgment for Archipelagic Province Toward the Authority Equilibrium in Managing the Natural Resources in Maritime Territory of Autonomous Region

Abstract

Philosophically, discussion on archipelagic province should be preceded by philosophical system of Pancasila by positioning archipelagic province into the Unitary Republic of the Indonesia and the concept of Archipelagic State Principles. Treatment to be done by the Unitary Republic of the Indonesia toward archipelagic province is balanced equitable treatment; it means that the treatment to the land and water area of archipelagic province should be similar to the land area of non-archipelagic province. Based on the valid regulation, the treatments for archipelagic province all this time are unfair due to unimplemented of balanced equitable treatment, thus it affects to government condition.
