The implementation of the student mobility program SUSTAIN is carried out through internship activities integrated with Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM). This program aims to engage partner university students in deeper exploration of research implementation, starting from formulating research questions, conducting data searches, and writing as a written product.

One of the ongoing internship programs involved students from Universitas Bangka Belitung (UBB) for a period of 2 months, from August to October 2023, engaging in research activities at the Research Center for Politics and Government (PolGov) UGM. The internship participants consisted of two female and two male students. These four students are Donna Ardilla Aprilia, Aprilia Natasya, Muhammad Maulana, and Ruslan.

During the internship, the students served as research assistants studying documents related to downstream and surface water management of nickel. They also participated in community programs organized by ADEMOS, an NGO based in Dolokgede Village, Bojonegoro Regency, East Java, held from September 1 to 8, 2023. At the end of the internship period, the students were responsible for producing a written output. One of the published works includes a journal article titled ‘Comparison of Traditional Oil Miners Bojonegoro and Traditional Tin Miners of Bangka Belitung’. The full article can be accessed here.

During the internship activities, the students collaborated with Olav Røhnebæk, an exchange student from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), who was also participating under the project Citizens Engagement and Natural Resource Governance Education (Citres-Edu).

Abstract

This research relates to Natural Resources of oil and gas in Indonesia, which are important commodities in the Indonesian and regional economies, as well as the impact on oil producing areas, especially Wonocolo Village and Bangka Belitung. The aim of this research is to compare the portrait of traditional oil mining in Wonocolo Village and in Bangka Belitung from an economic, social, political and environmental perspective. The type of research method used is descriptive qualitative field research. The data collection technique was carried out through gradual interviews to find out and analyze the differences that exist in the two selected regions. From this research it was found that from an economic perspective, oil mining is an important sector in income and economic growth in the two regions, however the welfare of workers and communities around oil mining is still very unequal from the results obtained from oil mining. The Wonocolo Village community is fully given the authority to manage existing traditional oil mining, while traditional oil mining in Bangka Belitung is more controlled by foreign companies and the state so the political aspect is very strong.Meanwhile, from a social perspective, traditional oil mining has had a positive impact on the Human Development Index (HDI) in the two regions and has had a real impact with the growth of HDI, the economy and regional development continuing to develop every year. The existence of traditional oil mining has a real impact on damage to the surrounding environment, ranging from pollution to ecosystem damage. From the findings above, it can beconcluded that oil mining has many positive and negative impacts on economic, social, political and environmental aspects in local communities.
