Abstract.

Utilization and management of natural resources including land, water, forest resources and spatial planning patterns are still not fully implemented in a comprehensive and integrated manner, so it is necessary to continue to pay attention to following environmentally sound development. One form of exploitation of natural resources, namely gold mining, gold mining in Indonesia itself is often carried out in various ways and various kinds of status and permits, ranging from legal and licensed mining activities to illegal and unlicensed mining activities, to cases of illegal mining itself provisionally, when there is illegal mining what must be done is to stop mining activities and reclaim the former mining area. The phenomenon of illegal mining activities occurred in Lebaksitu Village, mining activities in Lebkasitu Village are gold mining activities that are illegal and do not have a permit. But this activity is the main economic activity that the surrounding community is involved in. Gold mining by the community is carried out traditionally, with a processing process using simple equipment that can provide sufficient income for the surrounding community but on the other hand this activity is contrary to environmental aspects because it has the potential to cause environmental degradation such as floods, landslides, and a number of other environmental damage. Community gold mining in Lebaksitu Village is a mining that needs to be followed up and permanently closed because if viewed from the RTRW, from a physical perspective and in RTNGHS, this mining must be closed and reclaimed. The people of Lebaksitu Village are still very dependent on the mining economy, but it is very clear that the mining area in Lebaksitu Village is not suitable, it is necessary to take an action and provide the community with other economic solutions that are in accordance with the characteristics of the area both from physical, social and economic aspects, so that the community can completely abandon mining activities and continue the potential for economic activities from other sectors, one of which is the potential from the agricultural sector.Keywords : Gold mining, Impact and Potential EconomicAbstrak.
