This effort can be done by managing the area of mine land that has been discharged its license management into tourism areas. The former mining area will generally be found in damaged conditions by mining activities. Damage to the area depends on the type of material being mined, how the mine is done as well as the facilities and infrastructure constructed during mining. The mined material also determines the forms of toxic effects that are caused by materials that qualify harmful to the human and animal, and can result in certain vegetation species can grow. It is due to the deterioration of soil chemical and physical properties and the effects of toxic substances on water in the area. The improvement of the area is also one of the considerations in the economic field. Since the impact of land damage left by the miners tends to require a greater cost to restore land, especially if during the mining process, it was not done conservation and efforts to restore land conditions as before. Another effort is to use the former mining area into a tourism area. In case that the land restoration efforts have been successfully overcome by eliminating the factors and harmful elements and the vegetation begins to grow. It can be a place of human activity, a healthy, pollutant free and grow economic activities that benefit both government and society.
