Abstract

With a lengthy history of gold mining, Indonesia has made a major contribution to global gold production. This is valid not only for big gold mining firms but also for small-scale mining associations made up of individuals and businesses involved in Indonesia’s gold sector. There are currently around 2,000 gold mining sites in Indonesia. Thirty regions in Indonesia are home to artisanal and small-scale gold mining operations that have employed over two million people and generated revenue. However, most ASGM operations use antiquated technology that negatively affects the environment, public health, and miners’ safety. This affects the socioeconomic conditions of those who live near the mine sites. Social mapping is a powerful tool for visualizing economic risks, understanding their social impact, and designing effective mitigation strategies. The benefits of social mapping extend beyond risk analysis, promoting transparency, inclusivity, and collaboration in economic risk management. Otherwise, effective risk mitigation is essential for the success of post-mining programs. By engaging stakeholders, understanding social perception, and implementing the social mapping approach, mining activities can ensure sustainable development and positive community outcomes. Continuous evaluation and improvement of risk mitigation efforts will further enhance the effectiveness of post-mining programs and key success for Environmental Social Governance (ESG) sustainability program initiation.
