Economic Injustice in Mining Districts: Measuring the Value of Justice in Pancasila

Abstract

This study examines the situation of economic and humanitarian injustice experienced by the community in mining areas in Indonesia. Although the mining sector contributes significantly to the country's GDP, local communities often experience poverty, environmental damage, and limited access to health services and education. This study uses a literature study approach from various sources from 2020 to 2025 to analyze social and economic conditions and their relationship with the values in Pancasila, especially the first and second precepts. The results reveal a sharp inequality between mining management practices and the values of justice and humanity of Pancasila. It is recommended to implement a mining policy that is more equitable, community-oriented, and sustainable.
