Culture and knowledge systems are important for community development. Culture characterizes us as human-beings and members of a community. A country rich, strong and powerful country as Nigeria is made up of diverse cultural practices, ethnic groups and knowledge systems that help in shaping her day-to-day live and activities. Knowledge systems held by most communities are based on their experience and adaptation to their culture, education, crafts, religion, theatre, natural resources management arts, dance and music. This paper adopted the secondary data design in eliciting relevant information to buttress the topic considered. The purpose of this paper is to attempt the effects of cultural practices and knowledge systems on community development. In conclusion, this paper suggests that community leaders, policymakers and relevant bodies must take up actions that preserve these cultural practices and knowledge systems that help in community development.

<em>This research aims to describe the natural resources management policies in the mineral and coal sectors. The description is based on the social welfare value contained in Law No. 3 of 2020 concerning Amendment of Law No. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining, as well as Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning Employment and Labour Law. This research employed a normative judicial method based on law regulations that are conceptualized as principles or norms and have evolved into proper human behavior standards. Secondary data were employed by exploring literature correlated with the mineral and coal mining management law and analyzed using juridical-qualitative techniques. Subsequently, the research indicated that the Indonesian government policy in the Mineral and Coal, alongside Omnibus Laws, are unable to accommodate social welfare values and support only profit-oriented businesspersons. This research is expected to proffer suggestions for the central or regional government to make regulations prior to the social welfare principle.</em>
