The existence of mining companies has a significant role that can have both positive and negative impacts on local communities. The existence of mining companies in Indonesia and in other parts of the world often results in different perceptions that can trigger conflicts between stakeholders. Stakeholders are the community, companies, and the government. According to Spillane (2007), the company's activities often face challenges from the community because they are suspected of having a negative impact on the socio-economic life of the community and even the environment. The problem in this research is very suitable to be guided by using this type of qualitative research. The purpose of qualitative research is to gain an in-depth understanding, know the understanding of others, and can examine how humans construct and give meaning to everyday life. The research was carried out at PT Newmont Minahasa Raya. In dealing with the issue of pollution, the company has followed the formal and correct trial process procedures, although it is long and costly. PT. NMR was acquitted of all lawsuits. This process also ended with a goodwill agreement between PT. NMR and the government.
In solving the problem here, using the theory of Bounded Rationality (Bounded Rationality) where decision makers pay attention to conditions, processes and satisfactory alternatives (satisficing) to make compromised decisions as the best alternative decisions for PT. NMR in North Sulawesi. The existence of PT. NMR in North Sulawesi as well as the mine closure process in general is complex and needs to be regulated with systematic rules and properly disseminated so as to minimize differences in perceptions between the community, government and companies. This task is the responsibility of the Government and companies.
From the results of this study, a model of corporate social responsibility towards local communities emerged according to conditions in North Sulawesi. The North Sulawesi CSR model (attached). CSR Program of PT. NMR with good intentions, in a certain way gives a side effect of "Handout Mentality" to people who continue to expect help and become independent. This is related to culture in general which in the future needs to be anticipated and adjusted.
