Abstract

This study evaluates the feasibility of granting mining concessions to religious community organizations under Government Regulation No. 25 of 2024 in Indonesia. While the policy provides legal authorization, it does not necessarily ensure institutional readiness to meet the technical, environmental, and governance demands required in the mining sector. This research applies a socio-legal approach, combined with a conceptual analytical framework grounded in regulatory demand, organizational readiness, and gap analysis. Data are derived from legal documents, organizational reports, and secondary sources to construct readiness indicators across human resources, governance, and operational capacity. The findings reveal a significant misalignment between regulatory demands and organizational capacity, particularly in technical expertise, risk management systems, and environmental compliance mechanisms. This gap indicates limited institutional readiness to implement mining activities effectively. Using Maslahah Mursalah as an evaluative framework, this study finds that potential benefits are constrained by structural capacity limitations, raising concerns about policy feasibility. This study contributes to socio-legal scholarship by integrating policy evaluation with Islamic legal reasoning through a systematic readiness framework.
