Sustainable Development Coal Mining Management (Case Study of Coal Mining Licensing Problem in South Kalimantan, Indonesia)

Abstract

ABSTRACTPrevious research has examined the sustainable development system for mining governance with the issuance of Law no. 4 of 2009 concerning Minerals and Coal hopes that mining governance based on the concept of sustainable development and eco-development will run well, but quality deterioration always occurs. On the one hand, coal mining exploitation activities can provide economic benefits and on the other hand, cause negative impacts in the form of damage and pollution to the environment so as to result in losses to local governments and the community. To control and organize good mining with a licensing system, a concept of sustainable development policy through technological engineering has been developed. The article uses normative legal research through a statutory approach and a case approach in discussing the coal mining crisis in South Kalimantan. The results of the study as new findings in this article found that the concept of sustainable development, which is a government policy in the context of exploiting coal mines, has not been able to reduce the negative impacts arising from mining activities. The issued mining exploitation permit for coal mining in South Kalimantan caused rejection by the people because even though mining activities were carried out through technological engineering in order to pursue economic growth, it was also unable to solve the increasingly serious devastating environmental problem as happened in South Kalimantan Province.
