Abstract
<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p class="AbstractText">Community mining, as a means of fulfilling daily needs through the utilization of existing mining resources, is a prominent activity in various regions. This study delves into the specific issues surrounding mining practices within the East Cross area of Tanjung Ratu Hamlet in Bangka Regency. It critically examines the driving forces and factors enticing individuals to engage in this illegal tin mining activity while also assessing the effectiveness of law enforcement measures taken against such actors. Employing an empirical juridical approach, this research relies on field investigations to comprehend the on-ground realities and conditions. The study reveals a persistent trend of illegal tin mining activities being conducted by the local community in the Lintas Timur area of Dusun Tanjung Ratu, Kabupaten Bangka, dating back to the early stages of reform. Intriguingly, these illicit operations have extended beyond land boundaries into water territories, in direct contravention of Perda No. 3 of 2020, which designates the area as a zero mining zone. Consequently, those involved in mining activities within this zone are classified as illegal tin miners. Despite concerted law enforcement efforts, including police raids and other enforcement actions, the study exposes a glaring inefficacy in curbing these illicit mining activities, as many continue to operate even after such interventions. The study's primary objective is to shed light on the enforcement mechanisms employed against illegal tin mining in the Lintas Timur area of Dusun Tanjung Ratu, Kabupaten Bangka, while also highlighting the challenges encountered. Ultimately, it aims to offer policy recommendations to local governments for formulating more effective strategies to combat the persistent problem of illegal tin mining in Bangka Belitung.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
