Alternatives selection to control the impact of unlicensed sand mining at Batur Global Geopark using Analytical Hierarchy Process

Abstract

Based on the problem of unlicensed sand mining at the Batur Global Geopark, research is needed on controlling the impact of unlicensed sand mining in terms of environmental, social, and economic dimensions, in the Batur Global Geopark area. This study uses the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method to choose alternative impact control on illegal sand mining at Batur Global Geopark. This study uses assessments from 12 stakeholders. The five AHP criteria in this study are; Increase people's income; Contribute to regional development tax; Simplify the mining permit process; Increase other job opportunities; Minimize the risk of environmental damage; and Repairing environmental damage; while the three alternatives in this study are; Partnership program; Granting community mining permits with relatively simple concepts and obligations; and Closing and providing sanctions in accordance with law. The highest weight of the overall value of all criteria is the partnership program.
