Abstract

This study aims to analyse the environmental and economic impacts of nickel mining activities by PT X on Gag Island, Raja Ampat. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through literature studies from scientific journals, reports by environmental organisations, relevant legal documents, and credible online news articles related to the mining industry and ecological issues. The findings indicate that mining activities have caused significant ecological damage, including coral reef degradation, marine pollution, deforestation, and disruption of ecosystem balance. On the other hand, the presence of the mining company has contributed economically through increased community income, job creation, and the implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. Nevertheless, the adverse impacts experienced directly by local communities, especially Indigenous peoples, have triggered strong resistance against the sustainability of mining operations in the region. This condition underscores the importance of a comprehensive evaluation of mining policies in ecologically sensitive areas, taking into account marine ecosystem protection, forest sustainability, and the rights of affected Indigenous communities.

Abstract

North Sumatra, a key economic region in Indonesia outside of Java, continues to face persistent challenges such as high unemployment, the dominance of the informal sector, and uneven economic growth. Within this context, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) serve as a cornerstone of the regional economy, particularly through their role in labor absorption and income generation. Despite their significance, MSMEs in North Sumatra still face substantial obstacles, including limited access to financing, inconsistent investment growth, and inadequate policy implementation—factors that hinder their full potential in driving inclusive development. This study examines the dynamic relationship between MSME growth, workforce participation, and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in North Sumatra, employing a simultaneous equation model with time-series data from 2009 to 2023. The Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) method addresses endogeneity and simulates the effects of policy interventions projected for the 2025–2030 period. The findings indicate that MSME development is significantly influenced by policy instruments such as tax incentives and minimum wage regulations. Increases in wages and tax reductions enhance labor absorption, stimulate MSME performance, and promote GRDP growth. The study provides practical policy insights for strengthening the resilience and sustainability of MSMEs within North Sumatra’s evolving economy.
