Abstract

The presence of Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 25 of 2024 Article 83A paragraph (1) confirms that religious community organizations WIUPK is offered on a priority basis to businesses owned by religious community organizations. Mining activities often cause harm and even make the surrounding community a victim of mining. The incompatibility between the management of mining activities and the principle of "Ormas" which should be a non-profit organization, is also a big question in the midst of society because religious mass organizations that should be oriented toward the benefit of the community are now collapsing their values. This leads to dilemmas and problems in applying regulations that provide different opportunities for community organizations. This research applies normative juridical research methods with statutory, conceptual, and historical approaches. Community organizations, which in this case are business entities in mining, should be able to take advantage of their position to stay focused on providing services and security for the community. Instead of just making a profit. The provisions of PP No. 25 of 2024 Article 83A paragraph (1) need to be followed by clear provisions so that community organizations in the mining world do not exacerbate the situation but can instead be used to improve the safety of the community.
