Environmental Impact Analysis, Environmental Law, Natural DamageAbstract
The increasingly massive environmental damage is the result of development patterns oriented toward the exploitation of natural resources without regard for environmental carrying capacity and sustainability. This condition has led to ecosystem degradation, declining environmental quality, and an increased risk of ecological disasters that have a broad impact on human life. Within the context of Indonesian environmental law, Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL) is normatively positioned as a preventive instrument to control environmental impacts before a business or activity is implemented. However, in practice, AMDAL is often reduced to merely an administrative licensing requirement, thus weakening its effectiveness as a tool for preventing environmental damage. This study aims to analyze the regulation of AMDAL within the framework of Indonesian environmental law and examine the urgency of strengthening it as an instrument for controlling the impacts of environmental damage. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory regulatory approach and literature review. The results show that regulatory changes, the weak quality of AMDAL documents, limited public participation, and poor oversight and law enforcement have reduced the binding power and preventive function of AMDAL. Therefore, strengthening AMDAL normatively and substantively is an urgent need to realize sustainable and equitable environmental protection.
