The government and the House of Representatives have ratified Law Number 11 concerning Job Creation for the Year 2020; the regulation aims to simplify and harmonize laws and regulations, as well as increase investment in Indonesia; however, an important question that must be addressed is whether the rule's content can provide justice and benefits to people living in forest areas. The purpose of this research is to mechanism for imposing administrative sanctions for communities living in forest areas after the enforcement of the job creation act. The study's findings suggest that the government should ensure that the provisions of Articles 110A and 110B are implemented correctly, namely for the benefit of the community in forest areas, by collecting adequate data and preparing data-based implementing regulations, as well as restoring the goals and functions of administrative sanctions that do not require judicial intervention. Administrative punishments are required for environmental restoration as part of the government's rehabilitation coercion. This administrative sanction can be used for both Article 110A and 110B offenses.
