Social Justice-Based Reconstruction On The Ideal Use Of Coastal And Marine Resources

Abstract

Conflictson the use of coastal and marine resources are mainly caused by the material content (norms) of laws and regulations that may bring some disadvantages for coastal communities in using the coastal and marine resources to meet their daily needs. The problem observed in this study is that there are differences in community categorization onthe use of coastal and marine resources as well as granting a business license for coastal and marine resources to foreign investors. The authors used normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach. This article is a descriptive study using the principles of social justice as set in Pancasila as well as primary and secondary legal materials. The analysis was then performed using a prescriptive method. Social justice is defined as an equal access to wealth, opportunities, and privileges in a coastal community. It requires a balance between individual interests and public interests or common interests. In this case, the state must maintain broader interests, meaning that it becomes the guardian of public order, security of the social structure of society, conservation of natural resources, and interests of foreign investors which are all included in one system that supports the life of the nation and state.
