The rivers and canals in Banjarmasin need to be reorganized to restore the rivers and
canals to be able to function. Various legal policies have been taken by Banjarmasin
Government, from issuing regulations on rivers to making policies to establish a River
Normalization Task Force. This research is aimed to analyze the Banjarmasin
government's regional regulations that regulate the rivers and rivers layout, as well as
the effectiveness of the legal policy taken by the government as mitigation of the flood
problems Banjarmasin faces.This study uses an interdisciplinary legal research method
(socio-legal methodology); where the law (in this case the statutory text) is not only
interpreted as an object of value-free study but the law is interpreted as an object that is
rich in values (including non-legal values).Based on the geographical condition of
Banjarmasin, rivers and canals should be very important for Banjarmasin as a way to
avoid flooding. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange rivers and canals in Banjarmasin
comprehensively and this arrangement cannot be done only partially. The river
arrangement includes regulatory, institutional, and community development aspects in
the vicinity. The development of the city of Banjarmasin from the point of view of city
development must start from the rivers.
