Aspek Hukum Hak Menguasai Negara DI Bidang Pertambangan Pasca Pembaruan Undang-Undang Mineral dan Batubara di Indonesia

The concept of State Control Rights, as constitutionally attributed in Article 33 Paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution, constitutes a fundamental paradigm. The dialectics of mining policy formulation in Law No. 3 of 2020, which updated the regulation of minerals and coal, ushered in a series of transitions and consequences for the development of the concept of State Control in Indonesia, particularly concerning the substance of Article 4 Paragraph (2) of Law No. 3 of 2020, which introduced the policy of re-centralization. This research employs a juridical-normative method, utilizing a legislative approach and norm analysis pertaining to the concept of State Control Rights. The findings of this study indicate that, firstly, the formulation of state control in Law No. 3 of 2020 aligns intending to implement the concept of State Control as established by the Constitutional Court’s decision, emphasizing the permit system as a replacement for the contract system. Secondly, the centralization of authority over mineral and coal mining does not contradict the concept of State Control, as long as it can optimally generate an ideal and effective mining management system in advancing the prosperity of the people. The objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive overview of the application of State Control Rights in the revision of mining legislation, thereby offering policy insights for the development of substantive and just mining law in Indonesia.

Development of Integrated Fuzzy Model for Mine Management Optimization

Technoeconomic, environmental and safety criteria generally affect the management of metallic and non-metallic mining operations. The first basic question that needs to be addressed when planning ore mining is which methods are adequate and what is the optimal mining technology? Due to the complex geologic framework of ore deposits, geological exploration has rendered synonymous the inherent uncertainties, vagueness, and inaccuracies. As a result, subjective evaluation by engineers and expert experience have become increasingly important. Given that the natural language used by miners and geologists is most suited for relaying knowledge and expressing opinions, the paper tests a fuzzy optimization methodology that uses linguistic variables. Consequently, extent analysis is applied to fuzzy AHP by means of triangular fuzzy numbers to arrive at a decision about the optimal mining technology. The entire procedure constitutes an integrated mine management system, which will contribute to sustainable production in the future. A case study to which the model was applied is presented in the paper.

The Impact of Indonesia's Mining Industry Regulation on the Protection of Indigenous Peoples

The government has established various policies regarding mining in Indonesia. Still, an important question that needs to be asked is whether these policies have provided benefits, justice, and balance for indigenous and tribal peoples. This study aims to analyze the impact of Indonesian mining regulations on the protection of indigenous peoples. This is a normative legal research effort. The literature review gathers information from document analysis, which is analyzed qualitatively. Data analysis is descriptive-analytic in nature. The study results show that the impact of mining regulations still needs to reflect the recognition and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples. There is a need to improve mining management legislation and systems. Standardization of reclamation and post-mining management is required to provide implementation guidelines that meet the needs of the community. It has no negative impact on the community surrounding the mine. Licensing is one policy that can be used to implement standardization, which means keeping an eye on how the land is managed after mining, how waste is handled, and how policies are made to encourage mining and conservation activities that are good for the environment.

CREATION OF PROFESSIONAL MINING SUPERVISION IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE XIX – EARLY XX CENTURY

Introduction. Mining supervision is an important part of the supervisory function of the state. It is designed to protect the country’s mineral resources of national importance from plundering or predatory development, and workers from dangerous working conditions, but at the same time should not hinder rational business activities. An important milestone in the development of mining supervision in Russia was the 1860s, when major transformations began in the country, affecting the organizational basis of the mining industry. In historiography the preparation of mining reform has not been subjected to special research. In this situation, the purpose of the article becomes the analysis of the proposed in the 1860s projects of reforming mining supervision in Russia and determining their importance for the development of supervision in the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries. Materials and Methods. The study is based on legislative acts, record keeping documentation of the Commission for the Revision of the Mining Regulations and the Commission for revising the system of taxes and fees, as well as reference publications of the Mining Department and materials of the sectoral periodicals. Historical genetic and comparative methods of scientific analysis are used. Results and Discussion. During the preparation of mining reform in the 1860s two alternatives were proposed for the organization of mining supervision in the Russian Empire. One of them suggested the creation of an institute of district engineers who were part of a specialized mining management system, while the other, together with this system, also abolished mining supervision, transferring its functions to other institutions. In practice the first version of the reform, proposed by the Mining Commission, was implemented. At the initial stage of the formation of the new mining supervision since 1865, it was combined with the pre-reform institutions represented by factory guardians. At the second stage, from 1886, the institute of district engineers completely replaced the former forms of supervision and covered the entire territory of the Russian Empire, which was divided into 11 mining regions. Conclusion. In the second half of the XIX – early XX century а new system of mining administration was created, covering the entire territory of the Russian Empire. The most important function of this department was the supervision of private enterprises, which was organized in accordance with the project, developed during the preparation of the Great Reforms of the reign of Alexander II.

Application of the “lean thinking” concept to the analysis of coal mining region’s sustainable development objective

The article is devoted to the application of resource saving technologies as an important tool to achieve sustainable development at coal mining regions of the Russian Federation.
