- Abstract
Increasing and uncontrollable mining activities cause various impacts on the community, specifically those around the site. The impacts are environmental damage, massive pollution (soil, water, and air), and damage to houses and public facilities. This study used normative juridical method, departing from a number of sources categorized as secondary data, namely official documents, books, reports, dictionary, and encyclopedia. The results point out that mining gives many impacts, namely landslides, increased soil density, decreased land productivity, sedimentation and erosian, as well as disturbance to public health and microclimate change. Meanwhile, the impacts of post-mining are changes in land morphology and topography. The landscape becomes irregular and has massive steep holes and mounds of former landfills. In addition, it becomes unproductive and prone to landslides.
