Abstract

This study examines the relationship between economic oligarchic structures and environmental degradation in Indonesia’s pulp and paper industry through a case study of PT Indah Kiat Pulp and Paper, part of the Sinar Mas Group. It aims to explain how concentrated corporate power shapes environmental governance and facilitates the externalization of ecological and social costs. The study applies Jeffrey A. Winters’ oligarchy theory and a political economy of environment approach to analyze power concentration and regulatory influence. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through document analysis of government policies, corporate sustainability reports, scientific publications, environmental organization reports, and secondary data on deforestation, pollution, and social conflicts in the company’s operational areas. The findings reveal that corporate economic dominance enables significant influence over environmental policy formulation and implementation, resulting in formalistic regulations and weak enforcement. Environmental costs are externalized through large-scale deforestation, waste pollution, and the marginalization of affected local communities. These outcomes indicate that environmental degradation is not merely a consequence of technical management failures but a structural effect of oligarchic economic configurations that constrain effective environmental governance. The study recommends governance reforms emphasizing transparency, accountability, strengthened public oversight, and broader community participation to promote ecological sustainability and social justice.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Pick Up the Ball program through the PECEL DESA innovation in Rokan Hulu Regency and to assess its impact on increasing ownership of population administration documents. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through interviews and documentation. Data analysis followed the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the PECEL DESA program in Rokan Koto Ruang Village, Rokan Hulu Regency, has been effective in improving population administration services. Effectiveness is assessed using Riant Nugroho’s principles of accuracy: program, implementation, and target. In terms of program accuracy, PECEL DESA facilitated access for residents living far from the regency capital by simplifying the process of obtaining documents and reducing service time. Regarding implementation, the program was carried out in line with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). In terms of target accuracy, the number of electronic ID card (e-KTP) holders increased significantly, reaching 98.12% of the village population. The study concludes that the PECEL DESA program is an effective innovation in strengthening village-level population administration services and can serve as a model for similar initiatives in other regions.
