Abstract

Mining in Indonesia continues to grow, supported by environmental and spatial planning policies, and social issues arise. This study aims to develop a model for implementing spatial and environmental strategies, social, and sustainable development policies in North Kolaka Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach using SWOT analysis as the main framework, accompanied by semi-structured interviews and a review of sectoral and spatial policy documents. The findings explain. The study’s findings pinpoint effective geographic information system technology and compliance with zoning regulations as critical for monitoring environmental management. Weaknesses remain in the form of very limited community participation and weak law enforcement. There are opportunities in the form of improved government policies, technological innovation, and increased social awareness, while threats remain in the form of public criticism and unstable commodity prices. This study recommends a multi-aspect and multi-actor policy integration model to achieve sustainable mining development in North Kolaka Regency.

Keywords
