Community empowerment of limestone mountain area: community development program PT Semen Puger Tbk.

Abstract

Community empowerment activities through the Community Development Program (ComDev) are prioritized for communities in the Limestone Mountain mining exploration area, with village targets lacking facilities and infrastructure and inadequate levels of community welfare. The Community Development Program is focused on efforts to mitigate the impact of limestone mountain, especially waste and destruction of natural beauty through the results of processing and rehabilitation of exploration areas. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to study objects describing how the Community Development Program was implemented in an effort to empower the village community in the Limestone Mountain Puger Kulon area. The results of this study are that community empowerment in the Limestone Mountain area has been carried out in the social, economic and environmental fields, but its nature is still more directed at providing social assistance, not yet on strengthening and developing people’s own strengths such as savings and loan infrastructure. Need to strengthen the power of the community through the strengthening of skills and independent business institutions.
