Lack of understanding and awareness, the community is relatively unaware of and aware of the long-term risks of mining sand, the conviction of the miners if the beach sand will never run out, and the belief that the coastal area is claimed the land as private property so that it has become the community's right to process it 3). Lack of socialization and no penalty (sanctions) for miners, 4). The existence of omission and granting of mining licenses from the government (legality) by withdrawing fees from sand mining.]]>
