Law Number 32 of 2009 concern about Environmental Protection and Management does not provide adequate regulation in providing sanctions against perpetrators of pollution, except only providing a legal basis for employers to provide compensation payments to victims of pollution. Therefore it is necessary to know about the position of the Polluter Pays Principle in the Environmental Legal System as Agrarian Reform. The principle of paying polluters who have the function of authorizing should not be formulated in the explanatory section of the article. If following the explanation of Law No. 23 of 1997 concerning Environmental Management, the purpose of the principle of polluter pays, even has many meanings such as paying to pollute or can be interpreted as a license to pollute. As a result of the study of international law, the principle of polluter pays has two meanings, namely as an economic instrument with the intention of charging fees to potential polluters and is also interpreted as a basic instrument to hold legal liability for incidents of environmental pollution.Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2009 tentang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup tidak memberikan pengaturan memadai dalam memberikan sanksi terhadap pelaku pencemaran, kecuali hanya memberikan landasan hukum bagi pengusaha untuk memberikan pembayaran kompensasi kepada korban pencemaran. Oleh karena itu perlu mengetahui mengenai kedudukan Prinsip Pencemar Membayar (Polluter Pays Principle) dalam Sistem Hukum Lingkungan Sebagai Reformasi Agraria. Prinsip Pencemar Membayar yang memiliki fungsi mengesahkan seharusnya tidak dirumuskan dalam bagian penjelasan pasal. Jika mengikuti penjelasan Undang-undang No. 23 Tahun 1997 tentang Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup, maka maksud Prinsip Pencemar Membayar, bahkan memiliki banyak pemaknaan seperti membayar untuk mencemari (paying to pollute) atau dapat dimaknai sebagai license to pollute. Hasil telaah hukum internasional, prinsip pencemar membayar memiliki dua pemaknaan, yaitu sebagai instrumen ekonomi dengan maksud pembebanan biaya kepada pelaku pencemar yang potensial dan diartikan juga sebagai instrument dasar untuk menuntut pertanggungjawaban hukum atas terjadinya kasus pencemaran lingkungan.

The relevance of article is determined by the fact that one of the main wealth of Russia is the set of its natural resources and its environment. Nowadays, the rational and careful use of the environment and its wealth become the important objectives facing the countries of the world. Global deterioration in the ecological situation puts the problem of transition to the waste-free or low-waste production technology before the mankind. The subject of this research is the ecological tax as the economic instrument of environmental protection and efficient environmental management. The key indicators characterizing the impact of business activities on the environment and natural resources (such as dumping of the polluted sewage, emissions of pollutants in atmospheric air, water intake from the natural water objects for the use for the period from 1992 to 2017) were systematized. The author proved the expediency of introduction of the ecological tax. Some criteria for the evaluation of optimality of the ecological taxation were offered. Comparative, economical and statistical methods of the analysis were used for the justification of the conclusions. The results of the research can be used in the sphere of the improvement of the tax legislation of the Russian Federation and also for the modernization of the environmental policy of Russia during planning and implementation of the measures directed to the increase in the efficiency in the sphere of environmental management and environmental protection.

AbstractIn recent years, it has become popular for some of countries and regions to adapt the system of governance to varied and complex issues concerned with regional development and the environment. Watershed management is possibly the best example of this. It involves flood control, water use management and river environment simultaneously. Therefore, comprehensive watershed-based management should be aimed at balancing those aims. The objectives of this study are to introduce the notion of environmental governance into the planning process, to establish a method for assessing the alternatives and to develop a procedure for determining the most appropriate plan for environmental governance. The planning process here is based on strategic environment assessment (SEA). To verify the hypothetical approach, the middle river basin in the Tokachi River, Japan was selected as a case study. In practice, after workshop discussions, it was found to have the appropriate degree of consensus based on the balance of flood control and environmental protection in the watershed.
