To avoid the post-mining environmental impacts, the government has made regulations related to the exploitation of mining land. But in reality, there are many disregards to this regulation, so that a lot of post-mining land is left alone, as if it cannot be utilized anymore. But not so with the people in Cibeureum Village in Sumedang Regency, they are very concerned and have been able to take advantage of the post-mining land in their area well even with simple technology. This paper aims to identify the post-mining land reclamation practices above, especially the main driving factor of the local community in their willingness and ability to reclaim the post-mining land so that they can successfully utilize the post-mining land. The method used in this activity is literature study, participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The results show that the main thing behind them is the collective awareness of the community as the main social capital in utilizing land. Thus, it can be understood that if all life and livelihoods in society are based on shared virtue values as social capital, it can minimize disregard for natural resources.
