Peran Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Kabupaten Merangin dalam Pengelolaan Geopark Merangin Berbasis Kearifan Lokal

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of research and development (R&D) agencies in driving the progress of a country. Accurate R&D results in the form of concepts, models, scenarios, and appropriate policy options can serve as recommendations in overcoming various problems that arise in a country, ranging from climate change, food and energy crises to solutions in order to increase productivity in various development sectors. Dealing with the problems that arise as implications for the implementation of regional autonomy, actually has broad dimensions and is complicated in nature, especially regarding aspects of governance and development without forgetting local wisdom. Government administrators must be in the midst of problems that are happening and developing nationally and in almost all regions at this time. In this case the responsibility for establishing and implementing policies governing the implementation of regional autonomy, including various public policies, is carried out by government administrators.
