This research uses a historical method consisting of 4 stages, namely heuristics, source criticism, interpretation and historiography. The results of this research show that: (1) The socio-economic conditions of the people of Roraya Village before the nickel mine was established were quite good because the people's lives depended on natural products, where the people were very reliable in utilizing natural products to meet their living needs. (2) The socio-economic conditions of the people of Roraya Village after the nickel mine started to decline in the agricultural, plantation and fishing sectors due to air pollution from the company and environmental pollution on land and sea caused by the nickel mining company. (3) The impact of the presence of nickel mining in Roraya Village provides its own benefits for people who work as miners, as well as providing employment opportunities for people who still do not have permanent employment but also provides losses for fishermen and farmers who feel the negative impact of the activity. Mining pollutes the environment both on plantation land and in the ocean.
