Abstract

This study evaluates the environmental impact of road construction in the Muara Kaman Sedulang Nature Reserve (CAMKS), with a particular focus on land cover changes and biodiversity loss. The 8.189 km road construction aims to connect the isolated areas between Kupang Baru Village and Liang Buaya Village. Satellite imagery was used to analyze land cover changes due to road construction, while field surveys were conducted to assess the biodiversity of flora and fauna affected by the development. Findings research indicate that  majority of land covers consist of shrub/swamp thicket. Additionally, no protected plant species were found in either village, but naturally growing tree species were identified, and approximately 26% of protected wildlife were located within the CAMKS area. This means the impacts include habitat loss, disruption of natural behaviors, and increased risk of vehicle-related fatalities, and that the area holds high conservation value.

Abstract

The presence of a coal mining business permit not only has an economic impact but can also cause environmental problems. The objectives of this research are (1) to analyze the impact of PT XXX's overflowing voids on water management and water quality, and (2) to carry out spatial analysis, mapping and estimation of coal reserves that cannot be extracted by PT YYY. The research method is a case study selected by purposive sampling at two companies in North Kalimantan Province using water quality test analysis with grab sampling and estimating the potential loss of coal reserves using the rule of gradual changes and rule of nearest point methods as well as aerial photography. The research results show that in general the water use meets Class 3, namely: Water that can be used for cultivating freshwater fish, animal husbandry, water for irrigating crops, and/or other uses that require the same water quality as that use. Apart from that, PT XXX has built an overflow water channel into the PT YYY area without management approval, thus having a negative impact on PT YYY's mining plans which are dominated by peat land. Map of PT YYY's lost coal potential of 714,688 MT with an affected area of 15.16 hectares with details of 6.4 ha being the void area included in PT YYY's IUP area, 1.86 ha being the road and buffer zone area and 6.9 ha is a potential lost area of PT YYY.
