Kompas Research and Development surveyed public opinion on who benefits from mining on Indonesia's small islands.

The results show that 37.9% of respondents believe that the exploitation of these natural resources benefits the political elite.

Others believe that mining on small islands benefits related companies (36.8%), local governments (9%), and the central government (7.9%).

Meanwhile, only 5.9% of respondents believe this activity benefits the surrounding community.

"Regardless of these varying opinions, the public agrees on one thing: the greatest benefit does not go to the local residents," wrote Kompas Research and Development researchers in their report on Monday (7/7/2025).

This survey involved 512 respondents from 72 cities in 38 provinces, selected randomly according to the population proportion in each province.

Data collection was conducted from June 16-19, 2025, through telephone interviews. The survey's margin of error is approximately 4.25% with a 95% confidence level, under conditions of simple random sampling.
