Abstract

The artisanal and small-scale gold mining site (ASGM) located in the forest of Suwawa Timur District, Bone Bolango Regency, was found to be host to a number of unique problems. To solve those problems, we, the researchers, seek to endorse the implementation of transdisciplinary communities of practice (TDCOP). Through dialogue and discussion amongst stakeholders, the concept of “The Health Resilience Village” was derived. Furthermore, in order to solve the problems, our project is leading to ongoing discussions in villages near mines, the development of methods to reduce mercury emissions, and the creation of livelihoods, through TDCOP. © 2023 The Author(s).
