Abstract
Coal mining activities in East Kalimantan (Kaltim) have been going on for decades but have not had a significant impact on economic development for the people of Kaltim. This has become a paradox, that Kaltim as the largest contributor to coal nationally continues to experience social, economic, and ecological crises. This study aims to explore coal mining management from the perspective of Good Environmental Governance (GEG) using a qualitative descriptive approach with interactive model data analysis. The data in this study, namely primary data, which was conducted through in-depth interviews and semi-structured data from key sources using the interview guide instrument; and secondary data, in the form of publications and documentation to strengthen the conceptual framework, theoretical analysis, and literature review to support this study. Our analysis shows that coal mining has had a very large impact on ecological damage in Kaltim. Coal mining management based on GEG principles is still jargon because, in practice, GEG principles are still in a vacuum and have not been transformed into a concrete policy in the administration of government in the natural resources sector. So that a natural resource and environmental management policy based on the vision of protection and preservation of environmental functions is needed in supporting the implementation of sustainable development.
