“…This network can be actors or non-actors IAPA network is strong and can achieve common results when the institutions are also developed strongly (57). With regard to actors, the concept of actor-network was developed by Michel Callon, Bruno Latour, and John Law in the context of science and technology studies in the 1980s (58). On the other hand, actor-networks are also referred to as social network analysis when they are used to study the relations between different ethnic and business groups, as well as dynamics, sentiment analysis, and activities involving other networks (56,59,60).…”

This study aims to identify and describe the actor-network on forest fire handling in South Sumatra in its all three stages. This study collects data through interviews and documents. R Studio is used to analyze and visualize the connection between actors. The results of this study show a formal division of activities among actors in forest fire handling based on Governor decree involving state and non-state actors. However, non-state actors were not involved in every operational activity, especially in the pre-disaster stage. Furthermore, the Head of the Forest and Land Fire Control Section plays an essential role in the pre-disaster stage, the Regional Disaster Management Agency in the emergency stage, while there is no actor interactions in the post-disaster stage. Such situation requires a better actor-network by weaving the nodes to ensure effective coordination considering the role, interaction, and intervention of the actors as well as the nature of inclusiveness through the involvement of all actors, especially that of non-state actors. The limitation of this study is dealing with its focus just on one perspective that is based on the legal framework. Future research is expected to broaden the perspective with empirical and factual research. Keywords: forest fire handling, network, social network analysis, south Sumatra
