external control over government legal actions to protect the rights of a good and healthy
environment. The research aims to know the role of the Administrative Court in giving
ecojustice and the embodiment of principles of good environmental governance. This is
normative legal research using primary and secondary data. Judge verdict in
Administrative Court decides dispute concerning environmental permission was based
on environmental purposes and principles of good environmental governance. The
principle of society participation has been implemented in some municipalities; it can
be seen in the local regulations made by the Regent or Mayor. Although it was not
perfectly executed, it was still a step forward in local government. Obstacles arise from
the need for more knowledge and awareness about environmental protection and system
of management by the officer and society. irma

1. Introduction ------
------
Government has to regulate the use of the environment wisely to maintain its purpose for the community.
------
The increasing population growth requires a wide range of space and natural resources. The amount of
------
environmental damage that occurs is very detrimental to the community. On the other side, the
------
community needs the environment for sustainable development. --

Developments in various sectors, economically, are very needed. However, massive
development without reasonable regulations might harm the environment and community. It even can
bring damage and loss. Community behaviour also contributes to environmental damage. In addition, it
also can occur due to government regulations that are not environmental-friendly by putting aside local
wisdom and moving forward with greed to overexploit natural resources without thinking about the
future.
UNEP, as one body of the UN, has a special mission to provide leadership and encourage people
to care more about the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and people to improve
their quality of life without compromising future generations. They have launched conventions that refer
to the environment, biodiversity, and matters related to the environment. SDG is a programme of the
United Nations which relates to the environment, justice, zero hunger, no poverty, strong institutions,
life on land, life below water, and some important matter. There is a strong relationship between
environmental justice and strong institutions, which also means a healthy environment. In light of this,
government should implement the principle of good environmental governance adequately.
Article 28 H of the Constitution states that everyone is entitled to have a healthy and good
environment. The regulation is strengthened in Law Number 32 of 2009 on the Protection and
Management of the Environmental (from now on is Environmental Law) as a legal basis to manage the
environment. Some articles in Environmental Law were amended by Law Number 11 of 2020 on Work
Creation Law. This Law accentuates environmental management and emphasizes the principle of sound
environmental governance. The government made policies and regulations to organize development and
environmental exploitation without ruling out community interests and future generations.
Sonny Keraf explained that good governance would influence and determine a good
environment which further showed the level of good governance. Hyronimus Rihti stated that good
governance relates to environmental management and the principle of good governance. In contrast,
from the 13 principles of good governance, only several principles are related, i.e. legal certainty,
balancing, do not mix authority, justice, good, public interest, and responsiveness [1]. Preparation of
government decisions hopefully considering and based on the principles of good environmental
governance.
Legal gaps arise because the government still needs to fulfil the ecojustice rights of the citizen.
This research aims to strengthen the role of the Administrative Court in protecting the environment. The
research questions include, first, how is the implementation of ecojustice in the Administrative Court
judge verdict? Second, how does the principle of good environmental governance be implementedirma to
protect and maintain the environment? c

environmental governance in the judge's verdict. Ecojustice also means that everyone is entitled to their
fundamental human rights by the judge's verdict because it has legal certainty of being obliged.
Implementing the principle of good environmental governance is essential to protect and
maintain the environment, as well as it is needed for future generations. Some related principles are
participation of society, transparency, and responsive accountability, which the government must
consider in the decision-making process.
