Abstract
The failure in community involvement during the environmental documents planning may result in the failure of the planned project implementation. This study aims to determine the gap between practices and regulations that apply to the process of community involvement in the environmental documents planning, and find out inconsistency of implementation on each stakeholder in the planning of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and the environmental permit. The method used was qualitative through interview and literature study which is analyzed using triangulation model and presented in the form of concept map. The results of the study indicate that 1) the determination of community representatives based on the criteria of the impacted communities is not clearly described, 3) suggestions, opinions, and responses to the environmental impact management are not well implemented by the project proponent, 3) implementation of the environmental management of other licensed activities affecting the behavior (4) stakeholders (project proponent, EIA consultants, and EIA appraisal committee) do not play their role as mandated in applicable legislation.

Community involvement in the preparation of environmental documents is essential to EIA
Summary
Public consultation in the EIA study of a proposed project is a preliminary step that must be undertaken and largely determines the sustainability of the proposed project. The results show that only 40% of Indonesians participate in public consultations, and such engagement is limited to the subjective norm [1]. The low level of community involvement in the EIA process occurs in Kenya's development plan which is largely due to lower policies, laws and regulations [3]. This research aims to determine the gap between practices and regulations that apply to the process of community involvement in the environmental documents planning, and find out inconsistency of implementation on each stakeholder in the planning of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and the environmental permit. Suggestions, opinions, and responses to the environmental impact management are not well implemented by the project proponent. Stakeholders (project proponent, EIA consultants, and EIA appraisal committee) do not play their role as mandated in applicable legislation
