Abstract
Cikeusal Village is a village located in the karst area. However, since PT. Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa was present, it turned out to have a negative impact. The living space of the community around Mount Karst is gradually narrowing due to the expansion of the mining area. The deprivation of the living space of the Cikeusal village community will certainly affect the socio-ecological community. As a result of mining activities resulting in reduced water sources, decreased water quality and reduced soil productivity. The research was then carried out with a descriptive qualitative analysis approach. The purpose of this research is to find out what is being exploited and how severe the ecological damage is, how much influence the ecological damage has on the social, and how the community survives. The damage that occurred was already severe enough to see the number of caves and hills that were missing. In addition to natural exploitation, residents' settlements are gradually being evicted for security reasons. The occurrence of land acquisition, makes many people move and look for work elsewhere.
