MINERAL MINING BUSINESS CONTROL IN THE AREA OF PROTECTED FOREST

Abstract

The implementation of government based on good governance aims to provide the best
service for the community. As stipulated in the 1945 Constitution, Indonesia mandates the
right to a good and healthy environment. In its implementation, the central government and
regional governments must coordinate with each other to make it happen. This study aims to
determine environmental law enforcement efforts that can be applied to tackle and prevent
environmental damage to mining businesses in forest areas. This research is a normative legal
research using the Statute Approach and Conceptual Approach. However, in practice, with
many environmental cases spreading in various regions, supervision is needed in order to
achieve and fulfill the rights of every citizen to get a clean and healthy environment, and not
cause environmental damage and pollution that impact on the disturbance of the balance of
the forest ecosystem and detrimental to the community in the area around the mining area.
The need for environmental law enforcement in addition to supervision is also needed, so that
mining authorities do not carry out mining activities at will.
