Abstract

Natural resource wealth is a blessing and a gift given to the country to be managed and used for the greatest welfare of all the people. One source of natural wealth is in the mining sector, which, if managed well, will bring prosperity to the people. The illegal mining case currently drawing government attention is due to the high number of fatalities resulting from illegal mining activities in Mandailing Natal Regency. The government's current focus is on urging the public not to engage in illegal mining and strictly enforcing the law against illegal mining activities. This research uses data obtained thru interviews and a study of court decisions. This data is used to identify differences and uncover issues related to law enforcement against illegal mining. The results of this study indicate that people are involved in illegal mining due to a lack of job opportunities and the depletion of natural resources owned by the community, which are controlled by capital owners.
