Abstract

This study delves into the legal frameworks governing mineral and coal mining operations, focusing on their implications for community welfare through the prism of environmental ethics. Through qualitative research methods with a normative juridical approach, this research scrutinizes the transition from Law Number 4 of 2009 to Law Number 3 of 2020 and evaluates the juridical ramifications of the latter on societal well-being. Drawing on data from library research, legal document analysis, and stakeholder interviews, including perspectives from entities such as Jatam and PT Selo Argodedali, the study offers insights into divergent opinions regarding the efficacy of the legislative revisions. Findings indicate discord between mining entities and communities, with the former advocating for regulatory revisions while the latter perceive losses due to mining activities. Moreover, the study critiques the 2020 Minerba Law for its perceived neglect of environmental ethics, prioritizing exploitative practices over environmental preservation. Ultimately, this research underscores the imperative for legal policies to uphold community welfare in harmony with environmental ethics, as mandated by constitutional provisions.

Abstract

One of the uses of space stated in Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning is Green Open Space (RTH). This law requires that each district/city have a green open space area of at least 30% of the entire regional area. Ponorogo Regency is one of the districts in East Java Province which has an area of 137,178 Ha. This research will discuss the suitability of the green open space owned by Ponorogo Regency to Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning spatial planning and the potential for developing green open space in the Ponorogo Regency area. This article uses normative research methods with a positive legal approach and an approach using statistical data. The result is that Ponorogo Regency has not yet reached the minimum green open space limit of 30% because it is still at 19%. However, Ponorogo Regency has ambitions with the existence of Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2012 concerning RTRW 2012-2032 which states that the minimum limit of 30% RTH will be achieved in 2032. For the potential for developing RTH areas, Ponorogo Regency has three places, namely roads, river routes and mining areas.

Abstract

Geopolitical tensions in countries have triggered uncertainty in global financial, resulting in inflationary which could to global energy and food crisis, including for Indonesia. This condition must addressed with appropriate policies , one of which is the development of a digitalization and agricultural downstream system. This article used the qualitative description method, the objective of the article is presented in comprehensive manner regarding the overview of food security in Indonesia, urgency and implementation digitalization and downstream-agriculture. In-2022, Indonesia's food security index will experience decline from the previous year. This decrease was caused mainly due to decrease in food quality and safety scores.The agricultural digitalization and downstream system allows Indonesian agriculture to be further developed so that farmers gain understanding of the required land use, but the results are satisfactory and the costs are more efficient. Agricultural digitalization interpreted as changing way things are done in aspects of agriculture, from processing to marketing.Meanwhile, downstreaming is carried out by developing agricultural activities to strengthen product processing processes, as well as developing technology in processing industry sector by strengthening the bargaining position of agricultural-based processed products. Digitalization and downstreaming can implemented through digitalization upstream and downstream from production, post-harvest, warehousing, processing, marketing and financing in the food sector through optimizing the role of MSMEs. This is realized by preparing business model digital farming through distribution smart green houseto MSMEs, distribution smart farming to food clusters, distribution of post-harvest processing machines, digitalization of product marketing with start up agriculture, to market digitalization.

Abstract

This paper delves into the complex interplay between regional autonomy and environmental governance in Indonesia, shedding light on the paradoxical outcomes that arise from decentralized decision-making. It examines how the delegation of power to local authorities has both empowered and challenged efforts to enforce environmental regulations and protect natural resources. Through a comprehensive analysis, the paper elucidates the ways in which regional autonomy has led to divergent approaches to environmental management across Indonesia's diverse regions. While some local governments have demonstrated commendable commitment to environmental conservation, others have prioritized economic interests at the expense of environmental sustainability, leading to widespread degradation and ecological harm. Drawing on case studies and empirical evidence, the paper unpacks the factors contributing to this paradox, including varying levels of institutional capacity, political dynamics, and socio-economic pressures. It highlights instances where regional autonomy has resulted in regulatory loopholes, weak enforcement mechanisms, and conflicts of interest, exacerbating environmental challenges and undermining national conservation efforts. Furthermore, the paper explores potential pathways for reconciling the tension between regional rights and environmental wrongs in Indonesia. It advocates for a holistic approach to environmental governance that integrates principles of subsidiarity with national environmental priorities, fostering collaboration between central and local authorities, and promoting community engagement and empowerment. In conclusion, the paper underscores the imperative of addressing the paradox of autonomy in Indonesia's environmental governance.

Abstract

This paper delves into the implementation of environmental pollution and damage prevention instruments in Indonesia, highlighting the inherent issues and challenges. It scrutinizes the efficacy of existing measures in curbing environmental degradation and explores the obstacles hindering their successful execution. The findings underscore a myriad of challenges confronting the implementation process, ranging from regulatory gaps and enforcement deficiencies to institutional capacity constraints. Despite the presence of legislation aimed at safeguarding the environment, enforcement mechanisms often fall short due to inadequate resources, corruption, and lack of coordination among relevant stakeholders. Additionally, the complexity of environmental issues, coupled with rapid industrialization and urbanization, exacerbates the challenges faced in mitigating pollution and preserving natural resources. Addressing these challenges necessitates a multi-faceted approach that encompasses legislative reforms, capacity building initiatives, and enhanced collaboration between government agencies, civil society, and the private sector. Strengthening regulatory frameworks, improving monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, and promoting public awareness are crucial steps towards achieving sustainable environmental management in Indonesia. Moreover, integrating environmental considerations into broader policy agendas and fostering international cooperation are vital for addressing cross-border environmental challenges and ensuring long-term environmental sustainability. In conclusion, while Indonesia has made strides in formulating environmental policies, effective implementation remains a pressing issue. By identifying and addressing the challenges impeding the execution of pollution prevention instruments, Indonesia can bolster its environmental governance framework and pave the way for a greener and more sustainable future.
