Abstract
Mining sector in Indonesia faces many challenges including needed to support national economy, compliance to central and local government regulations, local community empowerment and environmental impact management. Mining companies are mandatory to perform the environmental management efforts to minimize the negative impact to the environment and pursue sustainability of post-mining land use and as much as possible to restore land to the initial conditions. There are many challenges on management multi parameter and multi temporal spatial data of environmental management. The aim of this research is to design the GIS database template for environmental management in Indonesia’s mining operation. This GIS database is designed using ArcCatalog ArcGIS 9.3 software, through following steps: inventory and assessment government regulations, inventory and assessment environmental quality standards, sorting and grouping parameters, design feature class and attribute, create GIS database, create GIS database dictionary. According to research result, GIS database template has many advantages for environmental management include integrated into a single database, avoid redundancy data, reduce volume data, uniformity data, easy to find and track data, integrated spatial and attribute data, can be used as an input for GIS analysis for decision-making and development strategies.
Highlights
Mining sector gives various contributions to Indonesia’s national economy; it contributed significantly to Indonesian gross domestic product (GDP)

Summary
Mining sector gives various contributions to Indonesia’s national economy; it contributed significantly to Indonesian gross domestic product (GDP). Indonesia’s mining sector faces many challenges including needed to support national economy, compliance to central and local government regulations, local community empowerment and environmental impact management. As known, mining is a temporary land use for exploration and exploitation of the coal and mineral reserves from the earth. Mining in Indonesia should be managed properly to achieve sustainable development in line with the mandate of The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia article 33 “The national economy shall be conducted based on economic democracy upholding the principles of togetherness, efficiency with justice, continuity, environmental perspective, self-sufficiency, and keeping a balance in the progress and unity of the national economy” [1]
