RTRW; Spatial Planning; Illegal Mining; Land UseAbstract
Spatial planning is a fundamental instrument in regulating land use. To maximize the utilization and function of land, the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) was established as a tool to maintain spatial balance. Activities that are inconsistent with the intended use and function of the land can disrupt this balance and indicate poor governance. Illegal mining practices in Kedungmalang Village, located along the riverbank, constitute violations of spatial planning regulations and administrative offenses. This study aims to analyze these mining violations in relation to the Batang Regency RTRW and to assess the effectiveness of the local government’s law enforcement. The methodology employed in this study is a normative-empirical legal approach. The normative analysis was conducted through a literature review of relevant regulations. Subsequently, the empirical approach was conducted through field observations and in-depth interviews with various relevant parties. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive-qualitative methods to identify the gap between legal norms and actual practices on the ground. The research findings reveal multidimensional violations of regulations regarding spatial planning, permitting, and environmental protection. Furthermore, the effectiveness of law enforcement regarding spatial planning protection remains limited. This study comprehensively examines the inconsistencies between illegal mining practices and RTRW provisions, as well as the effectiveness of law enforcement. Consequently, this research underscores the urgency of synchronizing spatial planning regulations at both the central and regional levels. Furthermore, effective oversight and the consistent application of legal sanctions are also necessary to ensure the sustainability of spatial planning.
