PELAKSANAAN PEMBANGUNAN MASYARAKAT (COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT) OLEH PERUSAHAAN PERKEBUNAN BESAR

Abstract

Its quiet evidence that there are conflicts between local people and the management of plantation companies who have responsibility to develop, or to assist, their economic live. The survey which was executed by 2003 found that there were two ways of the implementing program undertaken by the companies. First, the companies gave assistances which were not previously programmed but as those
requested by the local communities. Second, the companies opened small-plantations to be organized by the people through PIR Program and provided them credit for buying seed. At whole, both ways of the implementing program have generated local communities-own plantation, fostered farmers’ organization and business cooperation, increased local job opportunities and income, and opened remote areas. However, it was also found that the income improvement has incidentally created consumptiveness and social jealousy among people.
