Abstract
This study discusses the effect of gold panning on gold mining in the village of Goa Boma, whether the results of gold panning by women can increase income and affect the welfare of life. Goa Boma Village is an agricultural area where some of the people work as farmers, but not a few people who work as gold miners, especially for women (housewives) who participate in gold panning work, where gold panners are the mainstay of the Boma Cave community in village. This research was conducted in three stages. The first stage is carried out with a literature study and the second stage with a phenomenological qualitative approach and interviews with informants. Factors that affect gold panning, the environment, economic welfare and the role of women play an important role because of the low level of welfare, which demands women, especially housewives, to pan gold in the Goa Boma gold mine.
