The research uses a qualitative description approach with a type of literature study. The data is obtained by reviewing literature sources, including books, journals, and relevant research results. The collected data is then classified based on primary and secondary data. It was then analyzed using Antonio Gramsci's theory of philosophy of hegemony. The results of the study stated that background related to the movement of community opposition over mining activities in Tumpang Pitu, Pesanggaran, Banyuwangi due to the transition of IUP from PT IMN to PT BSI through the Regent of Banyuwangi as stated in Decree Number 188/574/KEP/429.011/2012 and SK. 826/Menhut-II/2013. The form of SLAPP action from the government is identified in the repressive actions of POLRI officers and the punishment of one member of an environmental activist who is normatively protected by Article 66 of the PPLH Law.
