“…Therefore, the land use in post-coal mine area need the planning based on the capability of land and result of scenario. This is in line with the results of research [13,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23]. Structuring the coal mining region becomes very important, especially, the post-coal mine region is expected to provide solutions to problems of the region, and identify the characteristics of the land as well as other potential resources [24].…”

East Kalimantan province is one of the largest coal deposit reserve source, especially in the mining and quarrying sector. Mining sector is a strategic sector in East Kalimantan but post coal mining land has the problem for land using. The research method used survey method and laboratory test on 21 entities/companies with the status of cooperative and non-cooperative approach and land resource evaluation on 30 respondent keys (key informant). Analysis of data is using the evaluation of land potential: Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), IRR, NPV and BCR. The results showed that there are 2 scenarios decisions in the development of coal mining region that is the optimistic scenario on 2 aspects namely: (1) tourism (recreational parks and historical tours) and (2) aspects of the fishery (tilapia, goldfish, catfish). Then, in the moderate scenario, there are 3 aspects of development: (1) services (administration and housing); (2) fisheries (cork fish and damselfish) and (3) agriculture (guava, melinjo and dragon fruit). Optimizing the utilization of post-coal mining land in the regency of Kutai Kartanegara can be carried out with reference to these two types of scenarios as a manifestation of an engine of regional development.

“…Increasingly, mining companies are making efforts to reduce the environmental impacts of mining, and to minimize the footprint of their activities throughout the mining cycle, including working to restore post-mining ecosystems. And as Maczkowiack, et al, (2012) put it, the big question of sustainability relates to the environmental legacy of the mining activity: "Is our mined land able to support its prior land-use, and if not, what are the alternatives?" As cited by Cooke & Johnson (2002), the decision regarding what to restore the mined land continues to change.…”

“…Laws and regulations by Federal, State and Local governments (all over the world) requiring mining companies to ensure safe environment and reclaiming mined lands to an acceptable state reflects the concern of the society for the environment (Maczkowiack, et al, 2012). It is required that reclamation will be considered and integrated into the mine planning so as to make it a key ruling factor in the mining operations, waste disposal, and site closure (Johnson, Cooke, & Stevenson, 1994).…”

“…Waste disposal activities in mining result in an extensive and long-lasting land disturbance (Cooke & Johnson, 2002). Society however, requires the environmental impacts of mining to be temporary (Maczkowiack, Smith, Slaughter, Mulligan, & Cameron, 2012).…”

The ultimate objective of post-mine land-use and reclamation planning is to identify appropriate alternate land uses to which mined land could be put. This will ensure that land-use and morphology of the location will be capable of supporting either the prior land-use or pre-mining environment. The main challenge is usually, the choice of variables that must be considered in deciding a particular post-mining land-use. Literature reviews were conducted to identify the major factors needed to be considered in the selection of a post-mining land-use. This paper also looks at the most commonly practiced and accepted post-mining land-use techniques. Factors identified as important in the selection process include land resources (e.g. physical, biological and cultural characteristics), ownership, type of mining activity, legal requirements, location, needs of the community, economic, environmental, technical and social factors. In a broad categorization, all post-mining land-uses could be placed under one of the following land-use: agriculture, forestry, lake or pool, intensive recreational land-use, non-intensive recreational land-use, conservation and pit backfilling. However, the objective of any particular post-mining land use should be achieving economic and sustainable outcomes which meet human wants and needs, and protect life and the environment.
