Abstract
The reduction in stunting in Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Indonesia's largest tin producer, is in the medium category. This study was conducted to see whether tin mining has an impact on stunting or not. The sample in this study consisted of 67 stunting toddlers. The data used are primary data obtained from interviews with mothers of toddlers. The study was conducted by spatial regression using the odd ratio test. The results found that tin mining did not have a spillover impact on stunting in Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The odd ratio value was more significant than 0.05 percent, the probability is 62 percent. However, judging from the distribution area of stunting toddlers in mining and non-mining areas on Bangka Island is clustered, while on Belitung Island it is random. This study was limited to the distribution of stunting toddlers in the tin mining area of Bangka Belitung Islands Province. It would be better if this spillover test were carried out in other mining areas throughout Indonesia. This research contributes to helping the Bangka Belitung Islands Provincial government focus on stunting reduction to the highest probability of stunting. It is hoped that with this research, the government can also provide optimal assistance for stunting toddlers.
