Abstract

ABSTRAK Berdasarkan PP Nomor 26 Tahun 2008 tentang Rencana Tata Ruang dan Wilayah Nasional yang menyebutkan bahwa kawasan karst merupakan kawasan lindung geologi, Pemerintah Kabupaten Gunungkidul mengeluarkan kebijakan pelarangan penambangan di kawasan karst. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis implementasi kebijakan pelarangan penambangan di kawasan karst Kabupaten Gunungkidul. Untuk menganalisis hal tersebut dilakukan observasi langsung ke lapangan, wawancara mendalam dengan para informan, serta metode dokumentasi. Lokasi penelitian adalah Desa Bedoyo Kecamatan Ponjong dan Desa Girisekar Kecamatan Panggang Kabupaten Gunungkidul. Kedua desa tersebut dipilih karena mewakili jenis komoditas batu gamping yang ditambang, yaitu jenis batu gamping lunak diwakili oleh Desa Bedoyo, sedangkan jenis batu gamping keras diwakili oleh Desa Girisekar. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Juli 2012. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa Pemerintah Kabupaten Gunungkidul tegas untuk tidak mengeluarkan izin usaha penambangan, namun tidak tegas dalam pemberian teguran maupun tindakan terhadap penambangan illegal yang terjadi di lapangan. Dari analisis hasil penelitian didapatkan rekomendasi kebijakan yaitu hendaknya Pemerintah Kabupaten Gunungkidul bersama masyarakat dapat mengemas kawasan karst sebagai daerah wisata alam karst, sehingga tidak akan merusak lingkungan namun tetap dapat memberikan lapangan kerja bagi masyarakat tanpa harus melakukan penambangan.
