Objective:This study attempts to identify and assess the social presence of PT. Freeport Indonesia's impact on local public customs, particularly the sizable Amungme and Komoro tribes, as well as the Papuan investment climate. To gather information and meet the research goals, a qualitative approach or sociological juridical research is used. Method: This study, which employs a qualitative methodology, was carried out near PT. Freeport Indonesia in the Papua Province's Mimika Regency. The Amungme and Komoro Tribes, two significant tribes in the area, have opposing views on the existence of PT. Freeport Indonesia. While the second tribe compromises, the first tribe is very reactive.The approach used to acquire the data was conducting interviews with community leaders and distributing questionnaires to residents of the Amungme and Komoro traditional groupings. Pay close attention to people who are impacted by PT. Freeport Indonesia and those who receive business advice from the organization. Result: The study's findings indicate that the local people is affected by the physical environment, including tailings accumulation (mine industry waste) and the extraction of customary land outside of the designated bounds, as indicated in the January Agreement of 1974. PT Freeport's presence, on the other hand, has prompted other businesses to invest in Indonesia and has supported the growth of local communities' entrepreneurs through the establishment of business incubators that focus on ventures in the fields of agriculture, animal husbandry, cooperatives, transportation services, the building materials sector (tela stone, sandstone, processed wood), landscaping, and commercial art. Conclusion: PT. Freeport Indonesia is very closely related to physical environmental impacts, including the accumulation of tailings (mining industrial waste) and the taking of customary land far outside of the agreed boundaries, as stated in the January Agreement made in 1974. As a result, it is biased towards the emergence of rejection of the existence of PT. Freeport Indonesia in Mimika R. The opposition to PT. Freeport Indonesia's presence is a sign of a welfare dispute. On the one hand, strong concentration comes with good fortune, while on the other, helplessness comes with all of its pain.
