Abstract

This study aims to identify weaknesses in the oversight of excavation C mining activities by the East Kutai Regency Government, which contribute to soil degradation and alterations to natural landscapes. These mining operations result in large, water-filled pits that become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and disease, while also causing air pollution during the dry season. The research employs a qualitative approach, combining a literature review with interviews. The findings reveal that, first, excavation C mining disrupts ecosystem balance through the overexploitation of natural resources and fosters illegal mining activities. Second, challenges in monitoring excavation C mining involve the Satpol PP (Civil Service Police Unit) as the primary enforcement body, along with the enforcement of local regulations designed to minimize environmental damage. However, a lack of coordination between the East Kutai Regency Satpol PP and the East Kalimantan Provincial Police complicates regulatory enforcement and community protection efforts. This study recommends implementing strict sanctions against companies that illegally damage the environment to improve oversight effectiveness and promote environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This study analyses the influence of Procurement Committee Quality, Procurement Environment, Risk Assessment, and Procurement Systems and Procedures on fraud prevention efforts in procuring goods and services at Universitas Khairun. A sample of 57 respondents, consisting of leaders, treasurers, and financial and procurement staff from supplier companies, was used in this research. The analysis was conducted using the multiple linear regression method processed through SPSS version 27.0. The results showed that the Procurement Environment and Procurement System and Procedures significantly influence preventing fraud. In contrast, the Procurement Committee Quality and Risk Assessment had no significant effect. These findings emphasise that creating a conducive procurement environment and improving procurement systems and procedures are key to reducing the risk of fraud at Universitas Khairun. This study provides important contributions for universities and other higher education institutions in designing better procurement policies to minimise fraud.
