LEGISLATIVE POLICY FOR CONSOLIDATING MINING AREAS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE LAND USE PLANNING

Abstract

Environmental concerns are just one of the many issues that are being brought on by the need to develop mineral and coal mining resources. Mining areas require ongoing planning that takes the environment into consideration. This study examines the current mining regulatory framework and the problem of harmonizing spatial planning for mining areas based on environmental sustainability, with a particular focus on Indonesian mining areas. This paper intends to answer the third research statement: First, how to conduct theoretical training on several legal principles of sustainable development from environmental protection and management perspectives. Second, what is the concept of environmental administrative and legal regulation in the field of supervision in realising the determination of mining areas based on environmental development? Third, what is the licensing model for spatial planning and environmental planning in monitoring environmental management that is environmentally sound? This research uses normative legal analysis with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that with an integrated environmental permitting and spatial planning concept, establishing a mining business permit area is predicted to function as an effective prevention instrument against the emergence of environmental pollution and damage due to mining activities. The principle of environmental sustainability will be achieved by recommendations made with the existence of legal criteria relating to the determination of mining areas to become the authority of the Governors, Regents, and Mayors of the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning
