Abstract

Mineral resources are non-renewable resources that have characteristics, either quantity, quality or localities. The Kulon Progo Regency has a potential of various minerals, which has big enough resources, particularly non-metallic minerals and rocks (134 locations). The mineral potentials have not been exploited optimally yet. This is indicated by the gross regional domestic product with a small contribution (0.94%). In the frame work of exploiting the resources, a mining zonation is absolutely determined by implementing a spatial analysis associated with some related parameters, so that its exploitation has no an overlap with other sectors. The parameters include regional geology, topography, hazard and landslide, hydrology, landuse, infrastructure and protected area. Results of the spatial analysis show that the zonal area for mining is 8,403.99 ha or 66.17% of the total area. The location for the mining activities consists of 82 areas. The distribution of quartz sand and ornamental igneous rocks needs a special attention because of the areas that have restricted factors. The development for the mining activities in the areas must consider aspects of the good mining practices including the environmental aspect. The use of the mineral resources is expected to be able to support the regional development and to contribute the community and regional economy. Each mining activity must have a legal mining license and an mining obligation as stated by the mining regulation. Typology of the area of Kulon Progo Regency according to the gross regional domestic product shows the presence of specialization of the location for mining activity compared to other regencies. However, this regency has a development rate that is relatively slow. Thus, this phenomenon indicates no opportunity to develop in the future. This shows that all the mining activities are not optimal yet, even some have no mining licenses. Therefore, the mining sector provides no significant contribution for the regional economy. Ironically, the area has the potential of various minerals that have been exploited. By exploiting the mineral resources properly, it is expected that it can provide a significant contribution for the regional economy
