Implementation of the Public Interest Principle for the Prevention of Environmental Damage Due to the Sand Mining Plan by CV.Kayon in the Gendol River, Sleman Regency

Abstract

Mining in Indonesia provides great economic benefits, but can also cause negative impacts in the form of environmental damage. Attention to mining, apart from its negative impacts, is also related to the public interest, namely the right of everyone to a good and healthy environment (Article 65 paragraph 1 of the Environmental Protection and Management Law). CV Kayon needs to pay attention to the principle of public interest for the surrounding community by conducting mediation to produce a consensus decision that provides benefits for both parties. The implementation of the principle of public interest is the main thing that must be done by CV Kayon so that the Sindumartani Village community does not reject the sand mining that will be carried out, but of course, it must pay attention to the rights, wishes, local wisdom of the community and prioritize the benefits that can be provided, on the one hand, the Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL) that CV Kayon already has needs to be socialized to the community, so that the community knows what kind of impact it will have and environmental preservation after mining activities have been carried out.
