Abstract

The mining industry has an important contribution to the economy and regional growth, but it also has the risk of environmental disturbance, so it is required to carry out reclamation. A special strategy is needed for the success of reclamation can improve the quality of life of the community and other organisms. The purpose of this research is to examine successful mining reclamation methods that can be implemented. This study uses a qualitative approach through social observation, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and a literature review. Reclamation by PT. X consists of programs for the preparation, planning, implementation and management of reclamation areas. At the preparation stage PT. X conducts public consultations to listen to suggestions, opinions and responses from local communities, especially land owners who are rent. PT. X applies the participatory-accommodative principle. This strategy puts forward a bottom-up mechanism, namely the local landowners provide advice to PT. X related to the type and implementation of reclamation and PT. X conducts verification as well as careful and in-depth studies of technical implementation. Reclamation needs to be managed by providing an enclave zone that acts as a center for mining environmental protection. The area of the enclave zone should ideally be determined based on consideration of the area of the IUP, ecosystem typology, diversity, evenness and distribution of flora and fauna, as well as total carbon emissions. Just and prosperous reclamation is carried out by considering the existence and proper allocation of space for abiotic and biotic components including sources of livelihood for local communities.

Abstract

The transition to sustainable transportation is critical to global efforts to mitigate climate change and reduce environmental degradation. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the environmental impacts of various vehicle technologies across their entire life-cycle. Numerous studies have been conducted using the cradle-to-gate/wheel/grave approach. However, material waste (vehicles and batteries) will become an ecological problem due to mining and extracting sources. Therefore, the cradle-to-cradle approach is considered to mitigate vehicles' end-of-life phase by material recycling and recovery. This study emphasizes various vehicle technology manufacturing, usage, and end-of-life phases. Unlike traditional cradle-to-grave assessments, the cradle-to-cradle approach promotes resource circularity by integrating material reuse and recycling into the evaluation process, thus minimizing waste and optimizing resource efficiency. The analysis identifies critical indicators, including energy consumption, air quality, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Electric vehicles (EVs), while reducing emissions during operation, pose challenges in material extraction for batteries and end-of-life management. By incorporating cradle-to-cradle principles, this study highlights strategies for improving material recovery and reusability, particularly for battery components and lightweight materials. This research underscores the importance of adopting greener energy sources and circular economy principles in the transportation sector to achieve sustainability goals. Policy recommendations include enhancing recycling infrastructure, incentivizing eco-friendly vehicle design, and fostering cross-sector collaboration. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of sustainable vehicle technology pathways and provide a framework for reducing environmental impacts while meeting growing transportation demands.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent environmental challenges associated with coal mining in tropical and subtropical regions, where complex microclimates and ecological variability hinder effective reclamation. Despite the increasing global coal demand, comparative cross-country insights remain limited. This research fills the gap by evaluating the best practices. This study employs a qualitative methodology with a comparative case study design, uses systematic literature review to evaluate ecology based reclamation policies and implementation practices. Data were sourced from peer-reviewed journals from Scopus and the Web of Science database and institutional reports, and analyzed using McHarg’s landscape ecology theory to evaluate reclamation policies, ecological challenges, and implementation practices. The results reveal that while all four tropical coal-producing countries possess clear regulatory frameworks for reclamation, their effectiveness varies due to ecological, climatic, and enforcement disparities. Australia demonstrates the most successful model, integrating strict policies with advanced technology and sustainable financing. Conversely, Colombia, Indonesia, and South Africa face challenges in enforcement and consistency. Thematic analysis from Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), shows that research is dominated by ecological and biodiversity aspects (44 articles), followed by reclamation technologies (22), economic-social factors (8), and regulatory studies (3). Aligning with McHarg’s landscape ecology theory, the study finds that successful reclamation hinges on site-specific ecological strategies, that are responsive to microclimates and landscape typologies. Technologies such as overburden non-acid forming (OB-NAF) encapsulation and electrodialysis reflect the ecosystem-based approach. However, future research must include empirical validation and community participation to strengthen long-term reclamation success and ecological resilience.
