208 Historically Tionghoa society introducing mining technology in
Bangka and it still be recognized up to now as vocabulary Ciam or Jian in Mandarin for driller, sakan or sieve for tin sand, until
Kolong as terminology of the name of big mining hole from dialect Ke Jia ethnic. Some of Tionghoa traditions also still hold
out up to now in Dabosingkep without separation. China communities and Minang also has a great role in economic factor,
since Dutch handle mining production.
4. Human Development
The indicators
of development
are economic,
environmental change, food, health, knowledge, natural resource and ecosystem, population and settlement, value and culture.
After lead excavation closed, Tionghoa society in Dabo develops swallow farming besides commercial activity, while
Malay and other ethnics mostly became rubber and coconut farmer, and more than 5 are fisherman. The settlement cluster
became changes as followed as lively hold condition.
Kolong a big mining hole as a picturesque of lead mining excavation, added now by high form of tall building changes from
one floor shop house shape town become high building with three or four floors represent the shop and nest of wallet building.
Digging sounds become electric of swallow sound pollution invite bird to build a nest is a typical of everyday atmosphere live in
Dabosingkep.
Young generations try to get higher income or other employment by leaves Dabosingkep, the impact of this condition
is ghost town since only unproductive people, children and oldest generation in the town. Uncreative or have no capital to
developed new job as substitute of lead mining cultivation activity represent needed local government help to promote new job
opportunity.
5. Ecosystem
Environmental impact of cities growth can be approach from population impact, ecological footprint and sustainability
assessment. High density has connotation as unsustainable although rural or low
– density land uses not always environmentally friendly. Human must maintain an adaptive
relationship with their ecosystem in order to survive, and address poverty and in equity if won’t face greater damage to ecosystem.
The mining industry is the process of extracting mineral resources from the earth so they can be made into essential products
required by our society. The worlds ability to support its population is sustained by the many minerals provided by mining.
Almost all of mankinds material needs must be dug from the earth, grown in the soil, or taken from the sea.

209 Regulation that undertaking plan for the construction of a mine,
must considered government and community is requirements to protect air, water, land and wildlife in the area. Mining is only a
temporary use of the land. The land has a specific use prior to mining and it will have another specific use after mining. The
anticipated future use of the land must be planned before.
Local government as well central government need to ensure that reclamation will be completed after mining activity
finished. The reshaping of the land for future uses is called reclamation.
There are several efforts to reclamation such as shaping the landscape, a key element of land reclamation effort is the
reshaping and contouring of the land disturbed by mining so that it blends with the surrounding area. Ground preparation and
planting requires preparing disturbed areas become good ground which will minimize erosion, hold moisture and protect emerging
seedlings. Seed mixtures are often recommended sometimes live plants or trees are planted rather than seeds.

When mining and mineral processing are complete, building and equipment must be removed and the area left in a
clean and safe condition. A significant part of closing a mineral processing operation is the removal of any chemicals that may
later cause problems in the environment. Reduce chemicals concentrate must be rinsed until the water passing through the
heap meets safe water standards established by the standard.
Monitoring of a reclaimed mining area continues for many years after the operation has shut down. Groundwater and
surface water are analyzed and the success of re-vegetation efforts are evaluated over time to ensure the site has met and
continues to meet reclamation objectives. The performance bond is released only after government regulators are certain the site is
stable and re-vegetation success criteria have been met.
Successful mined land reclamation, shorter loss of habitat while mining takes place will provide future wildlife habitat.
