Abstract

This study examines the legal construction of authority for mineral and coal mining permits in Indonesia and Nigeria, using a normative approach grounded in statutory analysis and critical legal reasoning. It examines how central regional power configurations shape the effectiveness and justice of mining-licensing governance. The study finds that Indonesia’s regulatory framework, particularly since the enactment of the Mineral and Coal Mining Law and the Job Creation Law, consolidates licensing authority at the central level, reducing regional participation and limiting protections for indigenous and local communities. Similarly, Nigeria’s centralized licensing regime generates distributional inequities, weak transparency, and persistent conflict in resource-rich regions. The comparative findings demonstrate that excessive centralization, without substantive spatial and community participation, creates governance gaps and risks legitimacy. The study concludes that mining licensing systems in both jurisdictions require reconstruction toward a participatory decentralization model that incorporates regional involvement, community rights, and ecological justice. These insights offer implications for the design of more equitable, transparent, and sustainable natural resource governance.

Abstract

Indonesia, endowed with abundant natural resources, continues to face persistent environmental challenges, including pollution, land degradation, and the depletion of ecological assets. Although the legal framework, primarily Law Number 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH) and its amendment under Law Number 32 of 2024, provides a normative basis for environmental governance, environmental defenders who advocate for ecological protection remain vulnerable to criminalization through Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP). This phenomenon persists despite the existence of statutory safeguards within UUPPLH, indicating the absence of a clear, coherent, and enforceable Anti-SLAPP framework in Indonesia’s positive law and reflecting insufficient governmental commitment to preventing the misuse of legal instruments to silence public participation. This study employs a normative legal research method to analyze the norms, principles, and values that underlie the protection of environmental defenders, examine the conceptual construction of Anti-SLAPP principles, and identify systemic weaknesses that allow judicial practices inconsistent with those principles to occur. The findings demonstrate an urgent need to establish adaptive and binding legal regulations through more humanistic mechanisms, along with comprehensive policy reforms within law enforcement, to ensure practical, responsive, and rights-based protection that strengthens environmental justice and democratic participation.

Abstract

Surabaya State University Campus 5 was established in 2024 and has 16 study programs with a total of 2,888 students from various regions. This campus provides a great opportunity for the community to build a residence in the form of boarding houses. Based on data from the Magetan Regency government, the number of rooms owned to date is 1,642 rooms spread across several local sub-districts and villages. These communities built boarding houses according to their own initiative without going through the licensing process, so there are different variants for each boarding house. They do not yet have rules and regulations that students must follow and the boarding house managers do not yet have the skills to do as boarding house managers. Problems faced related to boarding house management include social issues for students that require special handling, the lack of socialization to boarding house managers by the district government, diverse views from boarding house managers in managing their boarding houses, limited abilities in character education that must be carried out, and minimal ability to solve problems caused by students. The implementation methods used include providing workshops, lectures and role-playing methods, workshops and mentoring, and seminars. The results of this activity, namely the rules and SOPs for boarding house managers, can be a practical solution in maintaining harmony between the interests of the campus and the community, especially student boarding house managers and the government, especially student boarding house managers. Keywords: boarding house management, character education, practical solutions, rules and regulations, social problems.
