Abstract

Mining process can also be described as the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth, usually from an orebody, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposit. These deposits form a mineralized package that is of economic interest to the miner. Mining is one of the sectors that triggering the rise of regional income. So, people have a great enthusiasm for it. In the mining industry, geographic information systems are useful as a tool for improving the efficiency associated with detailed study of a prospect area. Geographic information system is very helpful in the preparation of maps which is a combination of all information related to the prospect of the area being studied and developed. One form of geographic information system is WebGIS application. WebGIS applications are created using MapServer technology and GeoLocation, which is processed in website engine. By using GeoLocation, can be presented information about the potential of the mining area either in the form of visual images or data. In this study, researchers wanted to develop a WebGIS application in order to obtain data about the geographical conditions of the sand mining area. The case study study is a sand mining area in Lumajang. From the WebGIS application, it is expected to provide accurate and up-to-date information about the potential of mineral resources in certain areas. So, it can assist government in determining steps to make policy about mineral resource management.
