Abstract

Desire to maximize all resources makes people try by all means and effort, from the most difficult to the easiest one to get abundant results. The original reason of fulfilling the needs of life then gradually became the desire to exploit more for unlimited wealth. This paper studies about government's actions in gold mining exploitation happens on Botak Mountain in Buru Island located in Maluku Province. Utilization of the land usually promise a tremendous income. No wonder many people are vying to take advantage of the resource, starting from the indigenous of Buru Island, to those who are from outside Maluku Province itself. The exploitation of the mine resource is done illegally with simple management processes, but the main problem is that the process used hazardous chemical materials for the environment. Mercury and cyanide are the two materials used in gold mining on Botak Mountain. Both of these chemicals are very harmful for the environment, plants, animals and humans. In addition, the method used in explaining this paper, is a normative method and the findings in this study that the local government has not been firm in addressing the issue of illegal mining, closing and reopening the mine without any law enforcement both preventively and repressively it will be useless because the environmental impact that is felt will affect many people.
