COAL MINING RECLAMATION POLICY PROFETICAL BASED: STUDY IN EAST KALIMANTAN

Abstract

This study aims to offer the concept of a prophetic paradigm in managing natural resources, especially minerals and coal, as a reference and guide for stakeholders, coal mining entrepreneurs, and the community on the values of morality and piety to the Creator. Method: This type of research was classified as legal, sociological research, in which the phenomenon was seen directly in the field with the purposive sampling method. It used primary data, namely direct interviews with stakeholders, companies, and communities in coal mining areas in the province of East Kalimantan. Then, the data were analyzed with the approach of case and philosophy in order to get the formulation of legal system factors that were not working properly and prophetic principles in the management of coal mines. Result: From this research, the coal mining reclamation policy made by the local government has not yet reached the legal objective because (1) there was no community participation, (2) unclear structural authority rules in natural resource management, and (3) uncertainty in the implementation of reclamation and post-mining regulations. Therefore, the concept is needed as a solution to solve the problem. Through the prophetic paradigm, the concept of Natural Theology is produced, which is directed to be able to care for nature through the application of Shari'a or moral values that are based on faith. Natural theology is an idea that requires humans to place nature as the highest priority in life. In this position, nature occupies the highest position compared to other materials.
