Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of re-centralizing mining authority on regional autonomy in Indonesia, focusing on legislative changes from Law No. 22/1999 to the Omnibus Law (Law No. 6/2023). The shift from decentralized to centralized control, accelerated by Law No. 3/2020, transfers authority from districts to provinces, aiming to improve national resource management efficiency. However, the findings reveal critical risks, including weakened environmental oversight, restricted public participation, and reduced local revenues from mining operations. While centralization may streamline governance, it poses significant challenges for regional governments in managing resources independently, impacting local welfare and sustainable development. This research offers novel insights into the tension between national efficiency and regional autonomy, emphasizing the urgency of re-evaluating policies to balance these interests. The study contributes to the broader discourse on governance by providing policy recommendations for achieving sustainable resource management within a decentralized framework.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the position of the Constitutional Court's decision in the formation of laws and to examine the legal implications if the laws formed are in conflict with the Constitutional Court's decision. This study is important to conduct considering the polemic of alleged non-compliance of state administrators with the Constitutional Court's decision, especially in the formation of laws. This study is different from several previous studies because it examines the position of the Constitutional Court's decision and the legal implications of laws formed in conflict with the Constitutional Court's decision. Using a normative legal research method. The results obtained from this study are that the Constitutional Court's decision is a source of law in the formation of laws as stipulated in Article 10 paragraph (1) letter d of Law No. 12 of 2011, that one of the materials that must be included in the law is the follow-up to the Constitutional Court's decision. The legal implications of the formation of laws that are in conflict with the Constitutional Court's decision are that it will cause legal uncertainty, can harm human rights, and the law can be submitted for judicial review to the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court's decision is the official interpretation of the 1945 Constitution. Therefore, the DPR and the President are obliged to follow up on it in the formation of laws, so that the resulting laws can provide justice, benefits, and legal certainty as well as protection of human rights.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kedudukan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam pembentukan undang-undang serta mengkaji implikasi hukum apabila undang-undang yang dibentuk bertentangan dengan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Penelitian ini penting dilakukan mengingat adanya polemik dugaan ketidakpatuhan penyelenggara negara terhadap putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi khususnya dalam pembentukan undang-undang. Penelitian ini memiliki perbedaan dengan beberapa penelitian sebelumnya karena mengakaji kedudukan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi dan implikasi hukum undang-undang yang dibentuk bertentangan dengan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi.  Menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini yaitu putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi berkedudukan sebagai sumber hukum dalam pembentukan undang-undang sebagaimana ditentukan pada Pasal 10 ayat (1) huruf d UU No. 12 Tahun 2011, bahwa salah satu materi yang wajib dimuat dalam undang-undang adalah tindak lanjut atas putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Implikasi hukum pembentukan undang-undang yang bertentangan dengan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi yakni akan menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum; dapat merugikan hak asasi manusia; dan undang-undang tersebut dapat diajukan judicial review di Mahkamah Konstitusi. Putusan Mahkamah Kontitusi merupakan penafsiran resmi UUD 1945. Oleh karena itu, DPR dan Presiden wajib menindaklanjutinya dalam pembentukan undang-undang, agar undang-undang yang dihasilkan dapat memberikan keadilan, kemanfaatan dan kepastian hukum serta perlindungan terhadap hak asasi manusia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the causal relationship between the quality of public participation in the legislative process and the quality of national legal products, as well as to examine the juridical implications of regulations enacted without meaningful public involvement. Although Law Number 12 of 2011, as amended by Law Number 13 of 2022, guarantees public participation rights, legislative practices in Indonesia remain largely formalistic, resulting in limited substantive accommodation of public aspirations. This research employs a normative-juridical method, incorporating statutory, conceptual, and case-study approaches, and analyzes primary and secondary legal materials using qualitative and descriptive techniques. The findings suggest that public participation is a significant determinant of legislative quality, influencing social legitimacy, normative responsiveness, and regulatory effectiveness. Conversely, limited participation leads to low compliance, increased social resistance, and a higher frequency of constitutional review. The novelty of this study lies in conceptualizing public participation as a causal variable that determines legal quality through measurable indicators of legitimacy, substantive relevance, and sociological enforceability rather than merely an administrative procedural requirement. Therefore, this study recommends institutionalizing meaningful participation through transparency, structured public consultations, digital participation platforms, and mandatory follow-up mechanisms to ensure democratic, accountable, and sustainable legal products.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan kausal antara kualitas partisipasi publik dalam pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan dan mutu produk hukum nasional, serta mengkaji implikasi yuridis pembentukan regulasi tanpa pelibatan masyarakat secara bermakna. Meskipun Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2011 jo. Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2022 telah menjamin hak partisipasi publik, praktik legislasi di Indonesia masih menunjukkan kecenderungan formalistik sehingga aspirasi masyarakat belum terakomodasi secara substantif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan studi kasus, melalui analisis bahan hukum primer dan sekunder secara deskriptif-kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi publik merupakan determinan substantif kualitas legislasi yang memengaruhi legitimasi sosial, responsivitas norma, dan efektivitas implementasi hukum. Sebaliknya, minimnya partisipasi berimplikasi pada rendahnya kepatuhan, meningkatnya resistensi sosial, serta tingginya pengujian konstitusional. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada perumusan partisipasi publik sebagai variabel kausal penentu kualitas produk hukum dengan indikator legitimasi, relevansi substansi, dan keberlakuan sosiologis, bukan sekadar kewajiban prosedural administratif. Oleh karena itu, direkomendasikan penguatan mekanisme meaningful participation melalui keterbukaan informasi, uji publik terstruktur, digitalisasi kanal partisipasi, dan kewajiban tindak lanjut atas masukan masyarakat guna mewujudkan produk hukum yang demokratis, akuntabel, dan berkelanjutan.
