Abstract

The occurrence of environmental pollution and damage requires repressive efforts in the form of law enforcement using instruments or criminal sanctions to force legal subjects to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Environmental civil servant investigators (PPNS) have an essential role in their authority to enforce environmental law. This research aimed to explain the state of the implementation of the role of PPNS in the work area of the Regional III Section Office - Center for Environmental and Forestry Law Enforcement and Enforcement (BPPHLHK) Sumatra Region in supporting environmental law enforcement and to find out what factors influence the role of PPNS in environmental law enforcement. The role of PPNS in enforcing environmental law in the working area of Section III Palembang - BPPHLHK Sumatra Region has been following Law Number 32 of 2009. Still, there is no standard operating procedure standard that can be used as a professional guide in implementing environmental law enforcement and measuring the effectiveness of the PPNS role. Factors that influence the role of PPNS in environmental law enforcement include legal factors, law enforcement officers, facilities and infrastructure, society and culture, and organization.

The initial copyright of a paper is held by the authors (or their employer, in some instances). When publishing that paper the copyright may continue to be held by the author, or can be licensed or transferred to the publisher.

DOAJ recommends that journals allow authors to retain the copyright of their papers without restrictions. Authors will then grant the publisher the right of first publication, and other non-exclusive publishing rights.

Even when the author retains copyright, restrictions may sometimes be imposed by the publisher:

  • The publisher requires exclusive publishing rights. This means that the author no longer holds copyright without restrictions.
  • The publisher requires a transfer or exclusive license of commercial rights. This means the author no longer holds copyright without restrictions.

Submission of a manuscript implies that the submitted work has not previously been published (except as part of a thesis, report, or abstract); that it is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere; and that its publication has been approved by all co-authors.

We need publishing rights from you in order to publish and make available an article. As a result, we require authors who publish in Sriwijaya journal of Environment to sign an author contract, which grants us the necessary publishing rights.
