“…From an economic perspective, mining has proven to be effective in improving the economic welfare of the people of Dharmasraya Regency, West Sumatra as a whole, especially those with customary rights along the riverbanks in the area. On the other hand, Mining facilities, contribute to the widening of the wealth gap between rich and poor, as only those who have the necessary capital and production equipment can derive full benefits from mining (Meutia et al, 2022).…”

Developing strategic areas utilizing existing potential will increase regional economic growth, overcome regional disparities, and reduce poverty. This study aims to determine the efficiency of district strategic area development in reducing regional disparities and poverty rates in Dharmasraya Regency for the 2016-2020 period. The results of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) analysis, using the assumption that input changes are directly proportional to changes in output, show mixed results. Efficiency calculations show that investment, infrastructure, and business empowerment significantly reduce poverty and regional disparities in Dharmasraya Regency. This condition shows that developing strategic district areas can reduce regional disparities and poverty rates in Dharmasraya Regency. This research implies that it can assist the government in reducing poverty in Dharmasraya Regency by allocating funds for industrial development, expanding investment, and providing financial assistance for developing community-based creative businesses. If appropriately implemented, poverty in Dharmasraya Regency will be reduced.How to Cite:Guswandi. (2022). Strategic Area Development to Reduce Poverty and Regional Gaps in The District.

“…On the other hand, small-scale mining can cause deforestation, soil erosion, water pollution, and the release of toxic substances into the environment. In addition, the informal and unregulated nature of small-scale mining can make enforcing environmental regulations challenging and ensuring that miners are held accountable for the environmental damage they cause [10].…”

People’s mining contributes to conflict and environmental degradation, particularly in developing nations. This is a socio-legal study. The study’s findings indicate that mediation is viable, cost-effective, and respectful for resolving smallholder mining disputes. Mediation is a voluntary procedure involving a neutral third party to reach an acceptable solution for both parties. The advantages of mediation include time and cost savings, the maintenance of relationships between parties, the incorporation of local knowledge and cultural practices, the promotion of environmental sustainability, and the facilitation of the development of legal and regulatory frameworks that support the sustainable development of smallholder mining communities. Although mediation faces obstacles such as a lack of trained mediators, potential power imbalances between parties, and the need for trust and cooperation, its usefulness in resolving conflicts and preserving the environment makes it essential for promoting sustainable development.

“…Tailings from the refining of gold are thick, typically yellow, brown, or black, and include a lot of heavy metals, including mercury [3]. Without any processing, the majority of Indonesia's small-scale gold miners release their tailings into the IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1339/1/012038 2 environment [4], [5]. Tailings have the potential to seriously harm the ecosystem, including soil, water, and air pollution [6], [7].…”

Sludge (tailing), a waste product of the amalgamation process used in the mining of gold, contains a high concentration of the heavy metal mercury (Hg). It is well known that mercury builds up in large quantities in Plectranthus sp. herbaceous plants in the Pancurendang Village Small-Scale Gold Mining area. The study intends to: 1) quantify the amounts of mercury present in plant organs and media tailing during phytoremediation treatment; 2) examine the mechanisms and capacities of plant phytoremediation using values of the Biological Accumulation Coefficient (BAC), Biological Concentration Factor (BCF), and Translocation Factor (TF); and 3) determine the impact of percentage variations in tailing and time on Plectranthus sp.’s capacity to accumulate mercury. On a lab scale, phytoremediation of tailings is done with concentrations of 0%, 30%, 50%, and 100%. Planting medium is combined with dried tailings. Pots are used for phytoremediation, and the residence times are 10, 20, and 30 days. With the use of a mercury analyzer, the amount of mercury present in plant media, roots, and shoots is determined. Using the BAC, BCF, and TF values, the mathematical calculation of phytoremediation ability is performed. Hg content ranged from 1.82 to 16.23 ppm in shoots and 5.15 to 37.19 ppm in roots. Throughout the course of treatment, the tailings Hg concentration varied between 13.18 and 220.05 ppm. Plectranthus sp. is categorized as a medium accumulator with a phytoextraction mechanism, according to the analysis’s findings. Hg phytomining is possible with Plectranthus sp., the TF value is 2.38. Within 10 days, Plectranthus sp. most effectively accumulates 50% Hg in tailings.
