Abstract

According to Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the earth, water, and the wealth contained therein are controlled by the state and utilized to the greatest extent for the prosperity of the people. Article 28 paragraph (1) states that every citizen has the right to live prosperously, physically and mentally, to reside, and to obtain a good and healthy environment. Mining activities pose a risk of causing negative impacts on environmental damage, including water, air, land, biodiversity, and social aspects. They can become a very serious threat to humans and the environment. The impacts and losses will be greater and more widespread if pollution and/or destruction are not immediately stopped.
