Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the recognition of access to environmental justice in Indonesia with a case study on mining for cement located in Kendeng Mountains. As mining is commonly known to have significant harmful effects to rural activities, it is important to portray the current rules of public engagement in environmental decision-making. Do people have access to environmental information? Are they really involved in the process of decisionmaking? Here, we can see whether the involvement of rural communities is meaningful or not. With a case study of mining for cement in Kendeng Mountains, it can be depicted some potential injustice due to the construction of cement plant, including affected rural activities. Then, it is followed by a discussion of legal actions that can be taken by rural societies in order to find remedies for their potential losses. Subsequently, it can be seen how far people have a right to environmental remedies. The result of this case study, therefore illustrates how environmental justice is difficult to achieve in spite of the availability of access to environmental justice.
