Dampak Penambangan Pasir di Kawasan Pegunungan Perspektif Tri Hita Karana

Abstract

Sand is one of the supporting resources in the development sector, both physically, economically and socially. The need for sand in the construction industry sector has increased along with the development of infrastructure and facilities. In addition to bringing huge benefits, sand mining in mountainous regions can also cause environmental impacts such as landslides, erosion, pollution, and so on.The environmental impacts of sand mining activities in mountainous regions are divided into two, namely physical impacts and socio-economic impacts. Socio-economic impacts such as increasing community income, reducing the number of unemployed people, opening jobs, income forlandowners who are sold or leased to take sand at high prices, many migrants join in mining so that it can lead to conflict, there is fear in some communities because of sand mining landslide potential.The view in the teachings of Hinduism about environmental damage that occurs is not only related to environmental problems but also concerns the problem of God values embodied in environmental preservation. Therefore, the existence of human resources becomes a determinant of environmental conditions, both individually and collectively. For this reason, it is necessary to have a balanced life patterned in the teachings of Tri Hita Karana. The philosophy of life in Tri HitaKarana is to create a balanced and consistent attitude to believe and devotion to God, serve others and maintain the welfare of the natural environment. Understanding of Tri Hita Karana should not be fragmented because it should be understood as Tri Hita Karana as a whole, synergistic and consistent as a universal philosophy of life.
