Mining activities are sometimes related to mining companies in the middle of community settlements. Mining business permits owned by companies from the government are considered not strong enough to be able to gain community acceptance. Indirectly, the company needs a social permit from the community to ensure that its activities run smoothly. An intensive approach to the community is considered to increase community acceptance of mining activities. The company or the mine manager needs to build trust in the community first, because when the community already believes it will be easier to get acceptance from the community. This study aims to analyze the effect of Procedural Fairness, Intimacy of Contact, and Trust on Acceptance of Mining from people living around mining areas. This study involved 203 people living in the area around the mine in Lampung Province, Indonesia. The results of this study note that the Intimacy of Contact does not affect community Trust and Acceptance of Mining, while Procedural Fairness and Trust have a positive effect on community Acceptance of Mining

Taxation, reclamation, and land use planning will be the three most important coal policy issues in British Columbia over the rest of the decade. British Columbia has reduced its profit-based taxes twice in the last five years in response to falling revenues, an increasing nonprofit tax burden, and falling coal prices. British Columbia's reclamation policy is meant to ensure that a mining company pays for reclamation of its minesite when mining is completed. For the coal sector, reclamation standards, acceptable security instruments, and the level of public risk are key policy issues that governments will have to confront. British Columbia has developed a process to resolve contentious land use issues through forward planning and public consensus. The mineral sector must limit the loss of access to potential mining areas while the government pursues its goal of doubling the size of protected areas.

However, in addition to making a positive contribution to mining activities, it also has a negative impact on society and the environment.

This research demonstrated the important contribution of mining to the welfare of communities, emphasizing its disproportionate contribution in terms of taxes and other payments to the state. Taking into account that the state, through the public treasury, is in charge of administering, disposing and distributing. At the same time, the execution of expenses is done inefficiently and wasted by the capacity of the sector's institutions, so a deep evaluation should be made, since such contribution of the mining companies is important for the social welfare of the communities, because they are in total poverty. There is discontent in the communities that are involved in the conflicts of income distribution resulting from the extractive companies and there is inequality in the distribution of income in the provinces and districts. In Peru, mining companies have been sources of wealth and rational enrichment where the population is involved, so mining companies have become involved in the environment contamination in the different departments. Peru is rich in minerals, due to the development of mining activities in various regions, so It will only study the provinces of Ancash. Some of the districts are San Maquino is located to the east of the Mosna river, province of Huari. To the north is the Carash River. The town of San Marcos is right where the Carash flows into the Mosna. The Carash basin, where there are several communities including Ango Raju and Carhuayoc, is therefore directly linked to the mining activities of Antamina associated with the arrival of the mining canon fraction of income tax paid by Antamina that suddenly and dramatically increased the municipal coffers so that the Municipality of San Marcos and provinces and other districts there are no improvements in roads, education and sanitation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the process in which organizational members construct and enact public relations (PR) functions as well as how the organization accommodates local values in the PR enactment. Design/methodology/approach A case study of three large mining companies representing multinational, state-owned, and privately owned mining companies in Indonesia was employed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 37 key informants (three top executives and 34 members of PR units). Findings The Indonesian private mining company and the multinational corporation actively engaged in their environment during the post-Suharto era. They perceived the local community to be more powerful than ever before as a result of the socio-cultural and political changes in the country. They changed their organization designs to gain organizational legitimacy by establishing independent PR divisions at the mining sites and assigning field officers who had the same cultural background as the community. These companies enacted the role of PR as relationship agents and cultural interpreters. Unlike these two companies, the state-owned mining company did not actively search for information from its environment. It relied on the government support for its organizational legitimacy and ignored the environmental changes. Originality/value This study is one of the first few studies examining the enactment of PR functions in Indonesia, an emerging country that is under-represented in the marketing and PR literature.

The protection of the environment from the effects of mining activities, though cardinal, has been a daunting task in Zambia. A polluted environment affects the rights of those who depend on a clean one for their survival. In remedying the pollution caused by mining activities, numerous legislative and policy frameworks have been put in place and institutions responsible for ensuring compliance operationalised. Notwithstanding such interventions, the problem of pollution emanating from mining activities has persisted. This has led individuals and spirited non-governmental organisations to bring legal actions firstly against erring mining companies for their failure to comply with environmental regulations, and secondly against the government for its failure to ensure compliance by the mining companies. The courts before whom such matters have been brought have seemingly prioritised the supposed development brought by investment in the mining sector over the environmental rights of those whose livelihood is anchored in a clean environment. The article underscores the mandate of the courts in safeguarding the environmental rights of persons whose survival is dependent on a clean environment. In doing so the article critically examines the cases which have come before the courts and how these cases have been dealt with in relation to the protection of the environment and ultimately an individual's environmental rights.

Recent floods in Ghana are largely blamed on mining activities. Not only are lives lost through these floods, farms andproperties are destroyed as a result. Water resources are diverted, polluted and impounded upon by both large-scale minersand small-scale miners. Although these activities are largely blamed on behavioural attitudes that need to be changed, thereare legal dimensions that should be addressed as well. Coincidentally, a great proportion of the water resources of Ghana arewithin these mining areas thus the continual pollution of these surface water sources is a serious threat to the environmentand the development of the country as a whole. The environmental laws need to be oriented properly with adequate sanctionsto tackle the impacts mining has on water resources. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedure needs to bestreamlined and undertaken by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and not the company itself.
