Oligarchy portrait occurs in the process of coal mining in East Kalimantan. Many of the power-holding elites are involved in collaborating to become a mining resource chain in East Kalimantan. The Sexi Killer film by WatchDoc Documentary provides an illustration that explains how the elite was involved in becoming coal mining players in East Kalimantan. Coal mining does not necessarily bring prosperity to the surrounding community but instead brings about various environmental disasters. Several names of the ruling elite were dragged into the circle of mining business practices. Jefri A. Winters' oligarchic theory can explain why this portrait can occur. Democracy seems to have slipped in an oligarchy circle. The elite control material resources to increase wealth and maintain its social means. Keywords: Elite, Oligarchy, Kalimantan Coal Mining.

Oligarchy portrait occurs in the process of coal mining in East Kalimantan. Many of the power-holding elites are involved in collaborating to become a mining resource chain in East Kalimantan. The Sexi Killer film by WatchDoc Documentary provides a clear picture of how the elite was involved in becoming coal mining players in East Kalimantan. Coal mining does not necessarily bring prosperity to the surrounding community but instead brings about various environmental disasters. Several names of the ruling elite were dragged into the circle of mining business practices. Jefri A. Winters' oligarchic theory can explain why this portrait can occur. Through authority, the elites control material resources to increase wealth and maintain their social position. Democracy seems to have slipped into an oligarchic circle. The elites control material resources to increase wealth and maintain their social position. The oligarchy seen in the Soeharto era did not just disappear. Oligarchy develops in a different form. The oligarchy during the Soeharto era was a sultanic oligarchy, now it has transformed into an oligarchy of collective rulers.

Coal is one of the most mining commodities to date, especially to supply both national and international energy needs. Coal mining activities that are not well managed will have an impact on the occurrence of environmental damage. This research tried to utilize the multitemporal Landsat data to analyze the land damage caused by coal mining activities. The research took place at several coal mine sites in East Kalimantan Province. The method developed in this research is the method of change detection. The study tried to know the land damage caused by mining activities using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), NDSI (Normalized Difference Soil Index), NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) and GEMI (Global Environment Monitoring Index) parameter based change detection method. The results showed that coal mine area along with the damage that occurred in it can be detected from multitemporal Landsat data using NDSI value-based change detection method. The area damage due to coal mining activities  can be classified into high, moderate, and low classes based on the mean and standard deviation of NDSI changes (ΔNDSI). The results of this study are expected to be used to support government efforts and mining managers in post-mining land reclamation activities.

Both rent seeking and mining policy are two interesting discourses which have enriched the Indonesian policy studies within last two decades. One of prominent problems in this sector is formulation policy process of mining permit (IUP). The concern of mining sector is because the huge economic incentive behind mining business including coal mining. Since the economic incentive is extremely high, the rent seeking is getting higher and more competitive. The competition on rent seeking contest is developed in different policy formulation stages through the elites of business people and bureaucrats.The consequences are the objectivity on issuing the coal mining policy, including extra regulation about surveyors.  The policy formulation in this very case produces the dynamic and complex rent seeking activity among the main players. This study is aimed to reveal the case of rent seeking using surveyors on coal mining policy. Using qualitative method and non positivist approach, this case of study was one of five studies that tried to understand the social relationship among the policy actors during mining policy formulation.Findings in the study were: (i) the role of surveyors as “third person” as mediator who played prominent roles in delivering the interest and determined the data through surveyor’s report, (ii) bargaining power of the businessman to get access in penetrating the bureaucracy through bribing and lobbying, and (iii) the role of bureaucrat in manipulating regulation to accommodate their interest through extra regulation making.

Coal mining business is now faced with various challenges such as export restrictions policy, an increase in value added products, and the decline in market prices of products. To be able to compete, mining companies are expected to increase productivity and efficiency and make continuous improvements in the production process. In the mining process, the availability of equipment and dump truck unloading tool will determine the sustainability of production that have an impact on productivity and efficiency. The purpose of this study was to optimize the production of coal mining in the context of the efficient use of equipment using the match factor, queues, and linear programming. The research location is in the area of the mining concession contractor KTD Corp is in the village of Embalut, District Tenggarong Seberang, Kertanegara Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan in October-November 2015. Unloading equipment used backhoe excavator is 5 units and 32 units of dump trucks. The simulation results match factor generated by the method optimal dump truck needs 26 units, while the queuing method and linear programming as much as 25 units of dump truck. The results of production optimization with linear programming method produced mining productivity of 1,208 BCM of overburden per hour with the optimum cost of $ 0,909/BCM.

Coal mining activities in Kutai Kartanegara Regency conducted in an open way. Number IUP announced by the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal, Ministry of Energy and the results reconciliation of Mineral Resources IUP with the 210 status Clean and Clear (C & C). The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics and patterns of coal mining in Kutai Kartanegara Regency based landform units in order to see the distribution pattern of its spread. The method used the construct maps of landforms unit in Kutai Kartanegara Regency derived from Satellite Imagery Landsat 7 ETM + in 2012, A sheet of study area Indonesia Map, Geological Map, Soil type and field surveys Map using ArcGIS 9.3 facilities. The results showed that the characteristic of the coal mining in Kutai Kartanegara Regency is implemented by way of an open mining. With the status of the production details 151 IUP (72 %) and the exploration 59 IUP (28 %). Condition of the land of post coal mining in some areas showed low implementation of the rules set by the government for land reclamation, thus causing in high environment such as erosion, flooding and landslides. Unit landform with majority in the coal mining activities is wavy tectonic cluster. The cause of the pattern of coal mining activity tend to cause factors of the position / location of relatively shallow or have undergone a process of outcrops to the surface between 0-30 meters, easy access from the mine to the port. The research result recommendations is conducted anticipation program from the dangers of impact that occurs as erosion and sedimentation, water quality and soil (land potential), The licensing selection strictly refer to the legislation and in depth learning to identify a variety of potential post-mining land to be developed on the post-mining unit of the shape according to the character of the land

Absorptive capacity–the ability to learn and apply external knowledge and information to acquire material resources–is an essential but overlooked driver in community adaptation to new and unprecedented disasters. We analyzed data from a representative random sample of 603 individuals from 25 coastal communities in Louisiana affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. We used simultaneous equation models to assess the relationship between absorptive capacity and resource acquisition for affected individuals after the disaster. Results show that the diversity of individuals’ prior knowledge coupled with the community’s external orientation and internal cohesion facilitate resource use. They go beyond simply providing resources and demonstrate individual and community features necessary for absorbing information and knowledge and help devise adaptation strategies to address the dynamics of changing economic, social, and political environment after the disaster.
