Abstract

This paper discusses the phenomenon of illegal gold mining in Prabu Village, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, using the theory of the impact of the use of mercury, rational choice theory, and the role of local government theory. The use of mercury in mining endangers health and destroys the environment. Since the mining activities are still occurring, the role of regency government in preventing living environmental damage is still not effective. It is suggested that provincial government closes down the mine.
