1999
Soemadiredja, M.Z.M.
The success of MOLs [mined-out lands] rahabilitation activity may be enhanced or weakened by institutional and environmental factors. Institutional factors may be divided into technical aspects that include planning technology, technical and financial capabilities, and target, and non-technical aspects such as commitment, attitude and credibility. Despite the fact that there are factors that influence the performance of companies in rehabilitating their MOLs, this study focuses only on one of the factors, planning, as appropriate MOL rehabilitation plan incorporated in the mine plan indicates management commitment to the environment. The study reveals that the low performance of MOLs rehabilitation is highly influenced by the company's mine plan. It reflected the company's commitment to environmental stewardship regardless where the operation takes place. To improve the performance of mining companies in rehabilitating their MOLs, it is recommended that: (i) mine plan formals should be standardized and regulated so that companies have to put efforts to prepare it; (ii) the reclamation guarantee fund should be set up to encourage companies to do the rehabilitation work rather than losing the deposit fund; (iii) other parties (NGOs, local people) must be made to participate in monitoring rehabilitation works of mining companies; and (iv) a mechanism to publicly expose the condition of Indonesia's mining activities periodically in domestic, regional and international mass media and stock market must be set up to pressure companies to comply with the rehabilitation requirements of the government
