Abstract

Saung Pandu is an acronym for Usaha Unggulan Pertanian Terpadu, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program located in direct proximity to PT Badak NGL Bontang in East Kalimantan. Saung Pandu was initiated to mitigate land conflicts through community empowerment approaches. As a result, Saung Pandu has become a community development program that focuses on integrated agriculture by utilizing processed domestic wastewater from the company. This research examines the process of community empowerment and participation using the theories of empowerment and community participation. Given the intertwined nature of empowerment and participation, the empowerment process is seen as a sequence of awareness-raising, capacity building, and empowerment. Meanwhile, participation is observed through the stages of planning, implementation, benefit realization, and monitoring and evaluation. This research adopts a qualitative methodology. The findings of this study indicate that while there is an existing empowerment process, optimal participation has not been achieved. The participation that occurs is largely influenced by the historical background of conflicts between the company and the community. This is due to the segmentation of groups based on land ownership, leading to some degree of tokenism among certain parties, thereby resulting in suboptimal individual participation within the groups.

Abstract

PT Badak NGL's operations generate non-hazardous waste in the form of aluminum and polyurethane foam (PUF), which accumulates over time. Furthermore, the coastal and island people near Bontang experience low income, diminishing fish harvests, declining seaweed productivity, and high rates of unemployment and poverty. This rubbish is used commercially, socially, and environmentally in the Menara Marina Programme. The Menara Marina Program began with program initiation, capacity building, production trials, non-hazardous waste management and usage, product innovation creation, capital growth, and improved financial management. It focuses on social innovation, value chain development, and economic impact assessments for community organizations. Social innovation successfully encouraged community groups to add value by shifting the value chain between groups through mutually beneficial distribution and manufacturing higher-quality, longer-lasting products. The Telihan Recycle group produces boat propellers from aluminum insulation waste materials, which are then sold throughout Bontang and East Kalimantan. The Tanjung Mamat Fiberglass group utilizes PUF to make fishing boats, which have a durability ratio 1:10.625 compared to wood boats. The Marina Tihi-Tihi group uses PUF to produce floats to replace wasted mineral water bottles, with PUF floats lasting 15 years compared to 3 months.
