Abstract

The presence of mining projects or power plants that exploit natural resources saves the potential for social and economic environmental problems for the community. The PT SMGP geothermal power plant project since 2010 has also experienced rejection from the community. Meanwhile, with the demand for energy sustainability in the midst of the fossil energy crisis, the government passed the 2014 Geothermal Law and the Omnibus Law hopes for the sustainability of geothermal energy projects with a Corporate Social Responsibility strategy. PT SMGP through the farmer development program hopes to support the project's sustainability without any disruption. This study aims to describe and analyze the role of the farmer development program as PT SMGP's CSR in dealing with community resistance. This study uses qualitative methods, with a total number of 12 informants. The data collection technique is through interviews with informants and documentation studies. As for being limited by the concept of CSR; Social Legitimacy Theory; Resistance, this research shows that the farmer development program as CSR of PT SMGP is effective in directly reducing farmer resistance. In addition, this CSR program indirectly contributes to providing a sense of the company's presence for the nearest village community so as to support the sustainability of the company's activities (social license operate).
