The Administrative Law Enforcement on Coal Reclamation Obligations Violations in Indonesia
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this study is to ascertain how administrative law is upheld in Indonesia when post-coal mining and reclamation obligations are violated. This normative legal study examines the legal requirements for reclamation under Law No. 3 of 2020. The research methodology uses a legal approach, and the way to collect legal materials is through a literature review. The results show that Indonesia's administrative law enforcement system is effective in preventing violations of postmining reclamation duties. These actions include modifying the postmining reclamation rules so that they must be fulfilled entirely inside the mining pit, enhancing the function of mining inspectors by providing them with more personnel, operational budgets, facilities, and infrastructure, and quickening document recapitulations. In addition to providing them with guidance on their responsibilities for repair activities after mining, this is done in an effort to break the harmful habits of coal mining entrepreneurs. For instance, coal mining business owners must complete postmining reclamation work while shutting mine pits. Inviting the community to oversee environmental improvement activities is another way the government can do this.
