This study explores the effectiveness of regulations governing reclamation obligations by Mining Business License (IUP) and Special Mining Business License (IUPK) holders in the context of post-mining environmental restoration. Despite the existence of various regulations, there are still legal loopholes and overlapping regulations that hinder effective reclamation implementation. This research uses a normative juridical approach by analyzing existing legal norms, as well as a conceptual approach to explore legal concepts related to reclamation and corporate social responsibility. The results show that many companies do not fulfill their reclamation obligations due to weak law enforcement, lack of quantity and quality of supervision, and unclear regulations. In addition, community participation in the reclamation process is minimal. To address these issues, the study recommends a series of reforms, including increasing the number and quality of mine inspectors, implementing technology in supervision, and stricter and more consistent enforcement of legal sanctions. The development of realistic reclamation plans and community participation in the reclamation process are also a key focus. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive reforms in regulations and law enforcement mechanisms to ensure IUP and IUPK holders' compliance with reclamation obligations, which in turn will support environmental restoration and the welfare of affected communities.
