Abstract:
The problem of natural resources and the environment has developed into a crisis experienced
by various countries in the world, including Indonesia. The damage to the global environment
that has a serious impact on the sustainability of human life and development must be
addressed as early as possible, so that the effect does not spread to the growth cycle of future
generations. One of the efforts that can be taken as a reaction to the current environmental
management crisis is to start developing an environmental movement based on an ecological
approach or sustainable development. This study uses a normative juridical approach, which
is an approach that is based on legislation, by examining all laws and regulations related to the
legal issue that the researcher is looking for, while the results of this study explain that the
enactment of Law no. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH)
in
Indonesia
is
a
tangible
manifestation
of
the
government's
and
community's
concern
in
realizing the welfare of the people, which began through the establishment of
environmental law and is an instrument of state administration in the efficient management
of natural resources. The concept of ecology which is based on the existence of legal order and
values that requires policy changes in overcoming environmental crises or emergencies due
to exploitation of environmental resources that ignores aspects of sustainability and
environmental carrying capacity does require encouragement from all parties so that all
management processes and the application of sanctions can be implemented. The sanctions
can be realized in various concrete actions and actions, the environment as a forum for
management policies various natural resources that exist, contain legal rules that are in
accordance with the principles of Humanity is intended to optimize the benefits of natural
resources (SDA) and human resources to be further harmonized in an ecological concept that
is beneficial for human survival.
