Abstract
Artisanal mining activities in Gunung Kidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, often lack official Artisanal Mining Permits (IPR), leading to environmental degradation, neglect of occupational safety, and social conflicts. This study aims to map the artisanal mining areas in the Special Region of Yogyakarta using mining area data and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, as well as to analyze the environmental and social impacts of mining activities without IPR. The research methods include data collection from the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources, field surveys, area mapping, data analysis, and interviews with stakeholders. The results indicate that many artisanal mining areas lack IPR, resulting in negative environmental impacts such as land degradation, water pollution, and ecosystem damage, as well as social impacts like community conflicts and occupational safety issues. In conclusion, there is a need for increased monitoring and law enforcement by the government to manage artisanal mining activities sustainably. Policy recommendations include strategies to enhance regulatory compliance and improve monitoring and enforcement.
Keywords: Artisanal Mining Permits (IPR), GIS, field surveys, area mapping.
