Abstract

This study aims to analyzed the legal protection of community rights in relation to suspected air pollution resulting from a factory fire in Medan Deli District, based on Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management. This research employed an empirical approach involving 20 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed that the mean score for corporate responsibility was 4.06, while the mean score for community rights protection was 3.50. The interviews revealed community complaints regarding the effects of smoke from the fire, the absence of assistance or compensation received by the informants, and difficulties in obtaining information and submitting complaints. The Pearson correlation test produced a correlation coefficient of 0.374 with a significance value of 0.105, indicating that the relationship between corporate responsibility and community rights protection was not statistically significant at the 5% significance level. This study concludes that the fulfillment of community rights continues to face challenges in terms of information, complaints, and assistance. Therefore, follow-up action by the competent authorities is necessary to investigate the suspected pollution, provide information to the community, and ensure the protection of community rights in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
