This empirical study identifies the characteristics and roles that regulate the collaborative policy network for handling the urban slum settlements in Pekanbaru. The method used in this study is quantitative methods through semi-structured surveys. Questionnaires were utilised to produce the indicators related to the structure of relationships and roles between the leading figures that were graphically depicted through social network analysis and have been confirmed in every stage of the program through centrality analysis. The results indicate that the collaborative policy network on handling the urban slum settlements leads to the formation of public and community figures. The number of figures is relatively stable, and the pattern of relationships among the figures shows the complex dynamics. However, along the progressed program, the distance and density of relationships among the figures at each stage keep decreasing. Receiving and mediating information and resources is centralised to local government. Local government emerged as a community figure that plays an essential role in the network. It indicates the importance of equal distribution of resources and information to maintain the stability of relations and distances among public figures.
