Abstract

Indonesia, as an archipelagic country, has abundant natural resource potential, including mineral resources such as gold. One area experiencing gold mining activity is South Aceh Regency, specifically the working area of the Ujung Padang Rasian Community Health Center (UPTD), which covers 11 villages with approximately 17–25 mining locations, of which 7 locations are still actively operating. This study aims to analyze gold mining activities and their impacts on the social, economic, and cultural aspects of the local community. The study used an observational analytical design with a quantitative cross-sectional approach. The study population was all gold mining workers with a sample size of 35 respondents determined through a total sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and observations, then analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that gold mining activities were categorized as high (57.1%) and very high (42.9%), with the majority of respondents having worked for 1–4 years. There was a significant relationship between mining activities and economic conditions and community income levels (p=0.019). Conversely, no significant relationship was found between mining activities and socio-cultural aspects (p=0.091) or length of employment (p=0.66). These findings indicate that gold mining activities contribute positively to improving the community's economy, while social structures and cultural values remain relatively stable. Therefore, sustainable management through supervision, health education, the use of personal protective equipment, and the implementation of environmentally friendly technologies is needed to minimize potential negative social and environmental impacts

Abstract

Unlicensed gold mining (PETI) in Gampong Paya Ateuk, Pasie Raja Subdistrict, South Aceh Regency, still relies on traditional amalgamation using mercury, which has the potential to cause environmental pollution, land degradation, landslides, and health risks to the community. This phenomenon is driven by limited job opportunities and the community's high economic dependence on mining, while oversight and enforcement at the village level remain weak. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the implementation of local government policies and the role of health officials in environmental conservation. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with an evaluative case study design based on the Input-Process-Output-Outcome (IPOO) framework, conducted from April to May 2026 with informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews, field observations, and document reviews, then analyzed using triangulation of sources, techniques, and theories. Findings on inputs indicate no regulations, dedicated personnel, or budgets at the village level. Regarding process, cross-sectoral oversight and coordination have been carried out but have not effectively controlled mining activities because the community considers the area a community-managed mine. In terms of outputs and outcomes, the study found land degradation, unreclaimed mine pits, declining river water quality, and potential health risks from mercury exposure. Overall, policy implementation has not been optimal due to weak village-level policy instruments and high economic dependence on mining. This study recommends strengthening village regulations, enhancing oversight, and providing economic alternatives for the community.
