Abstract Changes in the soil moisture are a key factor in the deterioration of the ecological environment caused by mining geological disasters. In this study, which presents a case study of the arid and semi-arid aeolian sand mining area along the Inner Mongolia-Shaanxi Province boundary, a method for retrieving the soil moisture based on RADARSAT-2 SAR scattering data and Terra MODIS surface reflectance data was proposed. The retrieval of RADARSAT-2 mainly used the Alpha approximation model based on the change detection technique, a model proposed by Balenzano et al., which can effectively decouple the impact of surface vegetation and roughness on radar backscattering coefficient, when the volume scattering is not dominant. Using 12 periods of RADARSAT-2 HH polarization data in conjunction with the Alpha approximation model, a matrix equation was constructed, which contains 11 equations and 12 unknowns. To solve this underdetermined system, a bounded linear least-squares optimization was adopted. Once the unknowns were determined, the relative dielectric constant could be analytically derived and then the soil moisture could be estimated by using the dielectric mixing model and compared with the MODIS retrieval results based on the spatial feature method. Finally, the DInSAR results of RADARSAT-2 were used to investigate the effects of high-intensity underground mining activities on the surface soil moisture. The study found that the RADARSAT-2 soil moisture estimates demonstrated good consistency with the MODIS retrieval results. Among four comparison groups, the maximum correlation coefficient was 0.599, and the highest proportion of sampling points for which the absolute error was less than 3 % was 55.6 %. The absolute error of all of the sampling points did not exceed 10 %, which demonstrates the reliability of the RADARSAT-2 retrieval results. A comparison among the 72 soil moisture values from six mining subsidence areas and corresponding non-subsidence areas in the study area in 2012 showed that 38 soil moisture values from the non-subsidence areas were higher than those from the subsidence areas. These values accounted for 53 % of the total, indicating that high-intensity mining activities have a certain negative impact on the surface soil moisture, although this impact is slightly insignificant.

Abstract In Hungary, not only the aftermath of the extraction in the past nearly 150 years, but also the economic changes taking place in the past two decades have had significant environmental consequences manifested, above all, in the landscape. It is, however, not sufficient to investigate the landscape components separately; it is necessary to explore connections within the landscape. Accordingly, the chief aim of this presentation has been, on the one hand, to work out the method of landscape load index, based on a quantitative database of mining claims and deposits of mining waste, which has revealed their impacts on the landscape as well. On the other hand, we have also aimed at developing the method of the mining load index of certain geographical landscape units. By calculating and analysing the indices, we have intended to build a quantitative database suitable for investigating the impacts of mining activities on the landscape. On the basis of the indices, the impacts and consequences could be ranked, and it was also possible to compare the impacts of different mining claims and waste deposits in three different landscape categories. With the main result of our examination, this will make it possible to investigate concrete problems and landscape conflicts caused by the landscape use of mining or its aftermath in different landscape units with a high load index.

With the accelerated pace of urban construction in Hainan province, demand for building sand increased rapidly, river sand prices soared. This led to the illegal and unauthorized sand mining continue to emerge at Nandu River downstream segment. The current sand mining situation of Nandu River downstream section was expounded. The various impacts of sand mining activities on river regime, flood safety, hydrodynamic characteristics of the river, development of delta and water environment have been studied according to measured data and results of field investigation. It is shown that sand mining activities undermines the natural evolution of the river regime; affects the habitat of fish and other aquatic organisms. Water level drops, water velocity decreases, and the Nandu Rive delta coastline retrogrades due to sand extraction. Besides, sand mining has an obvious adverse impact on infrastructures, waterway safety and social stability.

Kecamatan Muncar Kabupaten Banyuwangi ditetapkan sebagai kawasan Minapolitan diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat baik di dalam kawasan maupun daerah sekitarnya. Masyarakat Desa Kedungrejo dan Tembokrejo mayoritas bekerja pada sektor perikanan, sehingga diasumsikan memiliki dampak langsung dari kebijakan minapolitan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan kondisi sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat Kecamatan Muncar sebelum dan sesudah adanya program minapolitan serta mengetahui tingkat kesejahteraan masyarakat berdasarkan kondisi sosial ekonomi tersebut. Penelitian dilakukan pada 23 hingga 27 September 2018 dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dari hasil wawancara terhadap beberapa pelaku industri, perangkat desa, kepala TPI, dan beberapa nelayan. Analisis dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan perindustrian dan sarana prasarana yang menunjang kegiatan perikanan sudah ada sejak tahun 1990-an. Aspek sumberdaya manusia dari segi pendidikan tidak mempengaruhi perkembangan tingkat produksi ikan, sehingga dengan ditetapkannya Kecamatan Muncar sebagai kawasan minapolitan tidak memberikan pengaruh secara signifikan baik kepada kondisi sosial-ekonomi maupun kesejahteraan masyarakat. Rekomendasi yang perlu diterapkan untuk pengembangan program minapolitan di Kecamatan Muncar dapat dilakukan melalui peningkatan sumberdaya manusia seperti penetapan sekolah yang berisi pembelajaran mengenai perikanan dan kelautan, serta peningkatan infrastruktur pendukung. Kedua aspek tersebut perlu ditunjang oleh aspek komitmen daerah sesuai dengan  Peraturan Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan Nomor: PER.12/MEN/2010 tentang MinapolitanTitle: Analysis of Minapolitan Impact on the Community Welfare  in Muncar Subdistrict Banyuwangi Regency  (Case Study: Tembokrejo and Kedungrejo Villages)Muncar Subdistrict was designated as a Minapolitan area to improve the welfare of the  community both within and surrounding areas. It is assumed that Minapolitan policy gives a direct impact on the major livelihood of Kedungrejo and Tambakrejo people in fisheries sector. This study aims to measure the social and economic changes of Muncar community before and after the Minapolitan program as well as to measure the level of the community welfare based on these socio-economic conditions. The study was conducted on 23 to 27 September 2018 based on interviews with industry players, village officials, heads of fish markets and fishers. Data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative method. The results showed that fisheries industry and its facilities have been existed since 1990s. The education level of its community does not affect the fish production. It means that Minapolitan program has not given significant impact to the socio-economic condition and community welfare. It is recommended to improve the capacity of community through learning material at school concerning fisheries management and marine affairs as well as to increase the supporting infrastructure. These two aspects should be encouraged by regional commitment based on Regulation of Minister of Marine Affairs and No: PER.12/MEN/2010 regarding Minapolitan.

Nowadays, the global environmental crisis is caused by fundamental philosophical errors in understanding the human way of thinking about themselves, their relation with nature, and their place in the whole ecosystem. In turn, these misconceptions lead to wrong actions. This research aims to comprehensively study the description of the anthropocentric actions of a community about the environment of the Jeneberang River. The approach used in this research is qualitative with a phenomenology method. The result of this research indicates that anthropocentric actions prioritize the desire to fulfill life's needs as if they are free to do anything with nature without considering the preservation and the balanced management of the Jeneberang River environment. There were some community anthropocentric actions found in Jeneberang River community, namely, the establishment of residence, garbage disposal, and storage of stockpiles, the establishment of the brick industry, clearing area for agricultural land, various kinds of entrepreneurial activities, and sand mining activities (have been dismissed since 2015). These actions critically impact the condition of Jeneberang River, worsening problems such as river water pollution, the silt of the river, and flash floods that happened at the beginning of 2019.

Sea-sand mining has both advantages particularly in its destructive capabilities. The damages caused by sea-sand mining are mostly due to the unorganized mining zones. In order to minimize the negative effects of mining activities, the well-organized mining zones that have evaluated all related aspects are required. There are several aspects which are closely related to the sea-sand mining zones , one of those is hydro-oceanography aspects in its relation with the sea environments. A comprehensive analysis can be made by integrating hydrooceanography and GIS as a system of both data-organizer and software. This method is supported by using the remote sensing technology as a verification data comparison to the results of hydrooceanography analyses. The application of image analysis as a verification tool is a good method to proof the results given by the numerical simulation model. In this study, we use the Landsat images as the data analysis have indicated that the mining can be continously conducted in several locations without imposing any hazardous impacts to the adjacent environment. By considering the results above, in integrated system between the numerical model and the GIS in highly effective as a foundation to determine the mining zone where the negative effects of the oceanographic-dynamical-changes on the environment due to the mining activities can be easily recognized and predicted.

This study uses the Islamic legal approach with qualitative research methods with techniques for collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research aims to reveal the commercialization of sand mining in Koto Kandis Village, Dendang District, East Tanjung Jabung Regency, and see how Islamic law views the sand mining activities carried out by the community in Koto Kandis. Based on the research carried out, the results are as follows: First, the process of commercializing sand mining is carried out by the Kandis City farmers using water and land lines. Second, this sand mining has positive impacts such as being able to increase economic income and help meet children's educational needs and deepen river water for smoother waterway trips. The negative impact of sand mining is road damage, air pollution due to dust, increased noise due to sand transport trucks, and a decrease in water quality due to sand mining. Third, in the view of Islam, natural resources in its essence belong to Allah's absolute mandated management, utilization and preservation to humans. In the management, exploration and exploitation of natural resources must pay attention to the preservation of nature and the environment and the sustainability of development. In the process of commercializing sand mining that occurs in Koto Kandis Village can be viewed from various aspects included in Islamic law including: Judging from the Word of Allah SWT in the Qur'an, Judging from the Word of the Prophet Muhammad, Judging from the Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) , Judging From the Istinbath Method of Islamic Law, Viewed From the Muhammadiyah Tarjih, Judging From the Principles of Fiqh.
