INTRODUCTION

 

According to Constitution Number 3 of 2020 Concerning Mineral and Coal Mining, minerals, coal and rocks is one of source Power important nature​ for continuity life man (Adriansyah and Jefri Kurniawan 2024). Industrial and development processes infrastructure important (eg roads, bridges, and buildings) depend heavily on this mineral. Sand and equipment building others are very important For every project construction massively (Koirala and Joshi 2017).

Exploration , exploitation , production and sales is part from the mining process. Group A, group B, and group C are three category main included​ in minerals. Mining company group C includes companies operating in the field extraction gravel, marble, kaolin, granite, sand, limestone, rock mountains , land , and materials kind other (Malkani and Mahmood 2016). Impact negative social , such as the destruction source supporting power​ life communities that depend on mining and conflict areas​ ownership tangible land​ oppression, occurs when aspect environment ignored during operation mining (Abuya 2016). When aspect environment ignored in mining process sand , will arise impact negative to social like damage sources life environmentally dependent society​​ area mining and conflict ownership land like oppressive rights people on the land. Impact the resulting environment like , the damage road Raya , change form and function river , Degradation ecosystem river , change flow and function river , as well damage road kingdom is example impact environment (Malkani and Mahmood 2016).

In the regions Indonesia is particularly rich in it source Power mining , issues exploitation mining without permission the more widespread (Dutu 2016). Motivation main from actions This often is​ chase profit financial direct with sacrifice preservation environment life in period long . Society and government face challenge big consequence difficulty this, which is caused by the lack of awareness public how importance guard environment.

Still is strong perception​ that mining damag environment. Diversity biological disturbed Good in distribution nor abundance species around mining areas (Harabi� 2016).​ Conflicts caused by complaints​ public about damage environment appear Because source problem No quick identified . Society has different perceptions​ to mining sand Excavation C along flow of the Cikeruh River in the Regency area Majalengka so that required approach specifically by the government local to public through socialization to problem damage environment (Jung, Mehta, and Tong 2018).

Lots of it damage environment and disasters nature caused by mining​ illegal must quick found method as well as rational solution , cause​ mine illegal clear is problematic social that can annoying To use social and community. Necessary exists effort For prevent risk disaster , fine through development physique nor awareness and improvement ability face threat disasters in the district area Majalengka throughout flow of the Cikeruh River in accordance with Constitution Number 24 of 2007 concerning mitigation (Albris, Lauta, and Raju 2020).

Referring to the data , that becomes principal problem is how? aspect law in arrange problem mitigation impact environmental and social For mining sand Excavation C. This becomes very important remember problems life is problems with those who own it impact big and important .

LITERATURE REVIEW

Asril in the journal discuss on �Impact Mining Excavation C Against Community Life in Koto Kampar Hulu District, Kampar Regency," explained about impacts and losses incurred​ to life public good at the moment and in the future come , okay field losses​ economy like disappearance eye livelihood , loss source Power production for fihermen because it 's on the island lah they catching fish. Connected with study author in the journal there is​ several possible variables used in study This that is impact environment and impact social mining sand excavation C, as well effort government in mitigation damage environment . As for what makes the difference study This with study previously is study This use analysis law in handle impact from mining sand Excavation C.

Mining process as arranged in Constitution Number 3 of 2020 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining includes Lots stages among them investigation general, exploration, study feasibility, construction, processing, refining, development, sales and post-mining.
