Coal mining activities in Argosari Village have generated both economic benefits and negative impacts on the surrounding community, including damage to residents’ houses due to vibrations, blasting activities, and land subsidence. These conditions raise legal issues regarding the mining company’s civil liability, particularly in relation to land lease agreements between the company and residents. This study aims to analyze the company’s civil liability and examine the legal implications of land lease agreements without written evidence from the perspective of Indonesian civil law. This research uses a socio-legal approach that examines not only legal norms but also the implementation of law in society. The findings indicate that affected communities consist of residents with land lease agreements and residents without contractual relationships with the company. The absence of written evidence prevents the application of liability based on breach of contract, making tort liability the appropriate legal mechanism. The company’s forms of compensation include financial compensation, house repairs, construction of new houses, and land restoration in areas affected by landslides. This study highlights the importance of legal certainty and community protection in mining activities.
