Ecological political commitments: measuring the ecological leadership visions of district head in Bangka Belitung Region

Bangka Belitung is an area rich in natural resources, especially tin. The tin mining process has also continued for hundreds of years, leaving massive environmental damage in the region. Therefore, a leader is required to be able to guarantee political and legal commitments as a regional head. This paper studies about the vision of ecological leadership of regional heads in the Bangka Belitung Islands. The study used in this paper is a qualitative study using three data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews, and documentation. This study tries to reveal about the vision of ecological leadership which is one of the important prerequisites in guarding the ecological commitment of a regional head. This study analyzed the RPJMD documents and so on. Of course, the concept in question does not merely fulfil the normative aspect, but also emphasizes the substantial aspect in order to measure the relationship between the vision of regional head leadership with the political mind that works behind the policy politics of a regional head. Thus, it can be said that the fate of a region also depends on the context of its leadership through the political basis of its policies which are more visionary towards ecological values
