Analisis Normatif Terhadap Regulasi Hukum Pertambangan di Indonesia: Studi Kebijakan dan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan

Abstract

Mining is one of the strategic sectors in Indonesia's national economic development As a country with abundant natural resources, Indonesia has great potential in mineral and coal management. However, behind this potential, the mining sector also poses various complex problems, especially in legal, environmental, and social aspects. Therefore, the existence of strong, clear, and fair legal regulations is very important to ensure that mining activities run according to the principles of sustainability and provide the greatest benefits for the welfare of the community. Normative analysis is very relevant to identify the consistency, effectiveness, and shortcomings in existing regulations assessing the extent to which mining regulations are able to reflect the country's ideals in the management of natural resources that are sustainable, fair, and in favor of the interests of the people. This research uses a normative legal research method, which is research that focuses on the study of positive legal norms as stated in the laws and regulations that govern the mining sector in Indonesia. Based on the results of a normative analysis of mining law regulations in Indonesia, it can be concluded that existing policies have led to a governance model that emphasizes centralization of authority, downstreaming, and strengthening added value. However, this expansion poses serious challenges that must be faced to ensure that the management of natural resources is aligned with the principles of justice, sustainability, and the protection of the rights of communities affected by mining activities
