Abstract

The mining industry is often found in life, such as nickel, which is a mixture of stainless steel. However, many people consider mining activities as activities that damage the environment. To change the negative image of the mining industry, it needs to be proven that mining activities can have a positive impact because it can add value to the community's economy. PT. Putra Mekongga Sejahtera is one of the companies engaged in nickel mining. In Kolaka Regency. PT. PMS conducts nickel mining activities using the open-pit method. Impacts that will occur when mining activities are completed are landform changes and vegetation loss. Therefore, landscape design planning activities for the development of agro-ecotourism are important to minimize environmental impacts and are expected to restore the condition of the former mining area to approach its original condition so that it can achieve the desire to achieve sustainable development by making the post-mining location an ecotourism agro-area. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach; the sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The purpose of this study is 1. Analyzing the ecotourism agro landscape design strategy in the post mining area 2. Creating the concept of ecotourism agro landscape in the post mining area. 3. Analyzing the readiness of the community around the PT.MS mining area to make the former mining area as an ecotourism area through community identification. The results showed that the former mining area was in the forest area. Landscape planning to be carried out leads to agro-tourism activities by involving the community. Agro-tourism activities are chosen so that they can add to the economic value of the community from the arrival of visitors to the ecotourism and crop yields.
