expressly states: if overlapping land determination/use cannot be prevented, then mining 
priority rights must take precedence. This means, in Law No. 11 of 1967, there is no 
choice for land rights holders other than to accept the presence of mining business license 
holders. In fact, holders of land rights who obstruct or interfere with legitimate mining 
businesses are threatened with criminal penalties.  
Mining Law No. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining (Minerba) and 
Law No. 3 of 2020 concerning Amendments to Law No. 4 of 2009, take a declining 
stance. Articles 134 to 138 of the Mining Law clearly emphasize that mining companies 
(IUP and IUPK) must first settle land rights with land rights holders in the area to be 
worked on, the implementation of which can be carried out gradually as needed. 
Furthermore, Article 17 of Law Number 11 of 2020 related to changes in several 
provisions in Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning there are changes in 
articles 61, 62 and 69 which in essence everyone is obliged to obey spatial planning and 
for people who in carrying out their business and / or activities use space without having 
approval for the suitability of space use which results in changes in the function of space 
punishable with a maximum imprisonment of 3 (three) years and a maximum fine of IDR 
1,000,000,000 (one billion rupiah). Article 100 of Government Regulation Number 21 of 
2021 concerning the Implementation of Spatial Planning, states that the implementation 
of  the  Suitability  of  Spatial  Utilization  Activities  for  business  activities  is  obtained 
through OSS, and after obtaining the Suitability of Spatial Utilization Activities, Business 
Actors can apply for business licenses in accordance with the provisions of laws and 
regulations. Furthermore, Article 4 and Article 5 of Government Regulation Number 5 of 
2021 concerning the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing, which states that 
to start and carry out business activities, business actors must meet the basic requirements 
of  business  licensing  and  risk-based  business  licensing.  The  basic  requirements  for 
business licensing include the suitability of space utilization activities, environmental 
approvals, building approvals and functional feasibility certificates. 
With the regulations in Law No. 3 of 2020 and Job Creation Law No. 11 of 2020 
along  with  their  derivative  rules,  mining  permit  holders  before  carrying  out  mining 
activities (production operations) must first solve land rights issues. If it is in a forest area, 
the permit holder must take care of a forest area loan and use permit (PPKH). Meanwhile, 
if the mining concession area is in another use area (APL), the permit holder must settle 
with the owner of the land rights, with a business-to-business mechanism.  
Overlapping Mining Permits with Land Rights 
As part of the national spatial planning, the Mining Area (WP) is the basis for the 
determination of mining activities determined by the Government after coordinating with 
local governments and consulting with the House of Representatives of the Republic of 
Indonesia. Mineral and Coal mining activities include part or all of the stages of activities 
in the framework, management and exploitation of Minerals and Coal which include 
general investigation, exploration, feasibility studies, construction, mining, processing 
and / or refining or development and / or utilization, transportation and sales, as well as 
post-mining activities, where in the implementation of these activities can be carried out
