The Spatial Planning for Mining Activities Based on Indonesian Act Number 26 of 2007 on Spatial Planning in Conjunction with Local Government Regulation of West Bandung District Number 2 of 2012 on Spatial Planning of West Bandung District and its Implementation on the Limestone Mining in Citatah Karst Area

Abstract

The damage of Citatah karst area, in Cipatat District, is caused by the limestone mining activities that do not consider the importance of karst area as a geological protected area. Therefore, the karst areas become damaged, the air becomes polluted. Rever to Article 33, Clause (3) of the 1945 Constitution, every utilization of natural resources requires a plan for allocation, use and supply of earth, water, and space for the various interests of the people and the state. One of plans that can be done is the spatial arrangement as contained in Indonesian Act Number 26 of 2007 on spatial arrangement. This study examined the regulation of mining activities in karst area based on the Indonesian Act Number 26 of  2007 on spatial arrangement in conjunction with LocalGovernmentRegulation of West Bandung District Number 2 of 2012 on Spatial Planning of West Bandung District. This research used methodological approach of normative juridical and descriptive analysis that describes problems associated with applicable provisions. The data is secondary data from the results of library study and interview. The data were analyzed qualitatively. This research concluded  that Indonesian Act Number 26 of 2007 on spatial arrangement does not specifically regulate about lime mining arrangements in karst areas, but it generally regulates spatial planning system, space utilization and space utilization control. Regulation of spatial planning system, space utilization and spatial use control As stipulated in the Spatial Planning Act and West Bandung District Regulation Can not be implemented on lime mining activities in Citatah karst area. Mining activities in karst area must have environmental impact assessment (EIA), in fact limited to Environment Handling Report (EHR) and Environment Monitoring Report (EMR). Hence the mining activities in the karst area has caused changes in land and landscape, environmental damage around the karst area, the existence of air pollution, and the contamination of water due to waste from the industry.
