OPTIMIZATION OF THE USE OF GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY IN MONITORING MINING ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This research aims to explore the use of geospatial technology in detecting environmental changes due to mining activities, especially related to deforestation and water pollution. Utilizing satellite imagery and geographic information systems (GIS), this study identifies and monitors changes that occur in mining areas over a given period. Geospatial technology allows for more efficient and accurate monitoring, which can support better and more sustainable environmental management. The data obtained from satellite imagery is used to analyze the impact of deforestation and water pollution caused by mining activities. The results of the study show that geospatial technology can provide more objective, fast, and detailed information compared to conventional methods. The implementation of this technology is expected to improve the quality of environmental monitoring and provide more valid data for decision-making in managing environmental impacts. The study also suggests integrating geospatial technology with mining management platforms to improve the sustainability and effectiveness of natural resource management.
