Abstract
The goal of the ratification of Law No. 3 of 2020 regarding Amendments to Law No. 4 of 2009 regarding Mineral and Coal Mining is to maximise state revenue and protect ecosystems from uncontrolled environmental damage. This is essential in the mining management process so that this industry can contribute to the prosperity of people while also being environmentally responsible and sustainable. This research aimed to analyse the implementation of Law No. 3 of 2020 concerning Amendments to Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining and Government Regulation (PP) No. 5 of 2021 concerning Management of Mining Licence and to elaborate on the impacts of the mining industry in Bungku Pesisir Subdistrict, Morowali Regency. A type of quantitative observational research was used in this study. The study^s population consisted of 219 family heads, and the 64 samples came from the mining-affected village of Laroenai. A ^time series^ analysis (before and after the mining industry) was used to figure out the direction of social change. The findings of this research indicated that the implementation of the mining industry licence policy is inconsistent with government regulation number 5 of 2021 concerning licencing guidelines for mining industry licence management. The implementation of the mining industry licence policy is not optimal. Mining companies have disregarded the provisions of Law No. 3 of 2020 regarding minerals and coal and Government Regulation (PP) No. 5 of 2021 regarding the management of mining licences. The existence of mining in Bungku Pesisir Subdistrict, Morowali Regency, has negatively affected the livelihoods of the local population.
