“…For this reason, this research will frame it in the concept of resource governance. The concept of resource governance is here to link the idea of good governance with extractive resource governance which is more political (Ahrens & Rudolph, 2006;International IDEA, 2018;Moldalieva & Heathershaw, 2020). Thus, resource governance positions extractive resources that must be managed wisely and consider aspects of energy security, social welfare, and sustainability.…”

The Indonesian constitution has stated that natural resources must be utilized for the people’s benefit. But the people’s interests are often defeated by the elite. The long-term goal of this research is not to close the mining area and its activities, but to ensure that the exploration and exploitation process that has already started must prioritize ecological balance and disaster resilience. Using a qualitative method and a descriptive approach, this study analyzes the role of the government, corporation, and local communities in the framework of resources governance in order to strengthen the advocacy of civil society who are often marginalized in the existence of extractive industries. The results of the study show that the gold mining activity is contrary to the forestry law where the existing rules have been liberalized by selling state assets to private companies; the lack of added value for local communities such as limited job vacancies; the occurrence of environmental damage around the gold mining area where this area is actually a protected forest and a natural barrier from the threat of a tsunami disaster; and even though mining companies have claimed that their activities are environmentally friendly, in fact disasters are starting to appear.

“…On 5 August 2019, 500 local herders and villagers stormed the Solton Sary mine compound in Naryn Province, Kyrgyzstan ( Putz 2019;Moldalieva and Heathershaw 2020). Rocks were thrown, fences breached, vehicles overturned, and 28 Chinese mine workers were hospitalized ( Radio Free Europe 2019; SCMP 2019).…”

“…In 2019, Caleiro et al studied global development and climate change with game theory [21] . Moldalieva and Heathershaw demonstrated the role of the elite in the struggle for transparency and accountability in Kyrgyzstan’s mining sector in their study in 2020 and included game theory in their work [22] . In the same year, Izgi and Özkaya demonstrated the necessity of agricultural insurance with the MN-approach, in [23] , used in game theory [24] .…”

In this study, we analyze the general or self-quarantine effects to the spread of the first wave of Covid-19 pandemic in the view of the game-theoretical approach. As in some other applications of game theory in different aspects of the literature, we focus on only the application of game theory to present the effects of quarantine during the three different stages -the start, the spread, the end- of the pandemic. We first choose three countries such as South Korea for self-quarantine, Italy, and Turkey for general quarantine during the analysis of the different stages of the spread. Then, we present a formula that will be an important tool for the creation of the payoff matrices and give the general procedure for the creation of the payoff matrix for each stage of the pandemic process. After that, we generate the payoff bimatrix for each stage of the pandemic by using the average of the daily diagnosis number/number of tests for each country. Moreover, we try to find the optimal strategy of the game. Additionally, to determine the necessity of the continuity of the quarantine, we use the repeated game approach in our analysis, as well. Therefore, we convert the game only for the spread stage to the repeated game for each country. Finally, we obtain the Nash equilibrium of all games for each level of the pandemic. The results show that the quarantine has important effects to be infected or not, and the spread of the pandemic at each level. In addition to these analysis results, we compare the death rates of the considered countries and show that the results are almost parallel to that are obtained for the quarantine requirement of each country by game-theoretical approaches.
