Abstract
The concept of clear and clean permit has been implemented since 2011 by the Indonesia government to produce sustainable mining practices. The government applies this concept due to the occurrence of many mining conflicts in Indonesia. This article presents the results of research concerning the influence of clear and clean permits to social practices of mining. The study used the structuration theory. Based on this theory what has been studied is that use of regulations by mining companies, related government agencies, and local communities to legitimize and understands their actions and mining reality. For this, a case PT. Tripabara operating in Nagari Lunang Utara has been studied using a qualitative research method. This article would like to show that although the company has obtained a clear and clean license, sustainable mining practices are not carried out. It will be discussed in this article the causes of unsustainable mining practices by PT. Tripabara. Two things will be revealed: the first is status of clear and clean permits obtained by the company is used by the company officials to claim that their mining practice is sustainable, while the community based their understanding of the company behavior on the company’s actions to tackle environmental problems and conflict of land acquisition.
