【 摘 要 】

The use of mercury in Small Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) in Cineam District, Tasikmalaya Regency is one of the most important problems in the environment. The long-term accumulation of mercury use results in uncontrolled and invisible mercury pollution. This threatens the health of the environment and has a very bad impact on humans in the long run. Geographical Information System is one way to map and record mercury pollution in Cineam District. The creation of a web-based GIS application can automatically display the mercury pollution distribution radius in the area around the Cineam District ASGM Tasikmalaya District.
