Total 130 respondents from 6 villages near mining site participated in the survey. Using a descriptive method based on primary data from structured questionnaires and secondary sources, the study classifies community responses into five thematic areas: demographics, environment, economy, society, and governance. The findings highlight concerns over environmental and social harm, minimal economic benefits, and insufficient community involvement in decision- making. While most respondents acknowledge the environmental degradation caused by mining, they express skepticism about local economic gains and highlight social disruptions such as increased migration and disputes. Governance was viewed as weak, despite some recognition of initiatives like local committees and spatial planning. It is suggested that enhancing transparency, inclusive decision-making, legal support, and effective communication to build trust and ensure community voices are integrated into mining governance. |
