- Abstract
Mining activities on a large scale without ignoring the environment and surrounding communities can result in a variety of negative impacts that are felt in the short and long term, including health problems. This study aims to analyze the impact of quarry stone mining on the health of communities around mining in Kec. North Moramo Konawe Selatan District in 2019. This research uses the analytic survey method, with a cross-sectional study. The population in this study is the Head of the Family (KK) Rarowatu Village who lives and lives around the quarry stone quarry area with a radius of 500 meters from the mine with a sample of 39 people. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a 5% confidence interval.The results showed that there was a strong relationship between the distance of residence (P-value = 0.00) and a weak relationship between the length of stay (P-value = 0.03) with health complaints experienced by residents.The negative impact of mining activities is very strongly felt by people who live close / <200 M from the mining site. Therefore it is recommended to local governments to give mining location permits far from residential areas.
