Abstract

This research aims to analyze the integration of road, education, and healthcare infrastructure to improve the quality of life in coal mining regions, with Pelaci Village in Murung Raya, Central Kalimantan, as the case study. Using a qualitative research method, data were collected through field observations, in depth interviews, and document analysis. The study found that integrated infrastructure development significantly improves access to education, health services, and economic opportunities. Moreover, it strengthens community resilience and reduces regional disparities. The results highlight that active collaboration between the government, mining companies, and local communities plays a crucial role in ensuring sustainable development and inclusive growth, especially in remote and underdeveloped areas affected by extractive industries.
