“…Kelapa sawit menjadi sebuah komoditas yang dapat berkontribusi besar dalam menghasilkan produk domestik bruto, peningkatan pendapatan asli daerah, dan tentunya peningkatan kondisi ekonomi masyarakat. Hal serupa diungkapkan Casson (2000), menurutnya pemerintah pusat maupun daerah akan mendapatkan kontribusi cukup besar dari keberadaan perkebunan kelapa sawit, meskipun ada konsekuensi lainnya yaitu banyak yang semula lahan hutan berubah fungsi menjadi perkebunan kelapa sawit terutama di Kalimantan dan Sumatera. Sementara Syahza (2011) mengungkapkan bahwa banyak manfaat positif dari aktivitas perkebunan kelapa sawit bagi masyarakat dan wilayah sekitarnya.…”

The aim is to analyze the socio-economic sustainability of PT. Surya Indah Palma (PT. SIP) in Ogan Komering Ulu Selatan District so that the existence of a palm oil industry does not disturb the balance of social development and minimize the negative impact of the establishment of the palm oil industry in an area. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach. Based on the research results, it was found that the problems faced by PT. SIP in running an oil palm plantation business in OKUS District, among others: First, the plantation land managed by PT. SIP is an idle land that has not been managed by the community because the land is not fertile. The basic problem at PT. SIP is a non-trivial process of garden planning (mapping / surveying). Second, the land construction process of PT. SIP can be said to be a form of manipulation carried out by the plantation management of PT. SBI collaborates with village officials. Where the research findings show that the community sells land for the benefit of road access and profits from selling the land. Third, looking at the problems above, if you look at the socio-economic sustainability aspects of the local community as well as the community's welfare, it can be concluded that the development of the oil palm plantation of PT. SIP in OKU Selatan District will not produce results, it will cost a lot if it is continued.

“…The individual careers and environmental visions that shaped this landscape were due to the interactions between these continuous flows. The social and political reality that was continuously produced within these places arose precisely from the friction (Tsing, 2004) between cultural (small palm oil plantation as an overall recognized status quo), economic (partial disengagement from petty trades, local and national investments), political (national rhetoric about pembangunan 7 based mostly on natural resources exploitation and particularly on palm oil plantation sector), social (small palm oil plantation as an investment for local economy and territorial control) and ideal flows (small palm oil plantation work as an option to become more independent from the family and be able to realize dreams and hopes): a small palm oil plantation, therefore, was not a simple economic production place, but became a social, political and cultural focal point (Casson, 2000;Li, 2014Li, , 1999. It was a place where the friction produced by different policies, complex landscape readings, personal skills and disparate intentions of workers and owners clashed with a city-minded environmentalism which was focused more on the protection of already existing parks in Aceh.…”

This contribution examines the different environmental visions surrounding small palm oil plantations in the province of Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia. How are natural resources conceptualized by small-scale owners, workers and local environmentalists? How is the small palm oil plantation a political space? Which narratives take place in/on small palm oil plantations? From one point of view, workers and small owners tend to read the small palm oil plantation as a place of possibilities for the future, and it is configured as a place in which individual and collective agencies are negotiated continuously. From another point of view, environmentalists and NGO activists describe workers through the stereotyped lens of ignorance, rebellion and project appropriation. In Aceh, environmental awareness is strongly shaped by class, age, residency and educational background. Starting from an analysis of Italian public discourses about palm oil in 2015/2016, the author spent 4 months, from August to November 2016 getting rid of an ethnographic research in the province of Aceh. Through observations, data collection, questionnaires, and structured and semi-structured interviews, the author was able to explore and illustrate the characteristics of small oil plantations as a political arena and the daily life of small-scale owners, workers and environmentalists.

“…Salah satu konflik yang terjadi adalah alokasi dan penggunaan kawasan hutan untuk sektor perkebunan. Casson (2000) mencatat bahwa antara tahun 1982 dan 1999 telah terjadi konversi perkebunan kelapa sawit seluas enam juta hektar, yang berasal dari kawasan hutan (Casson et al, 2007). Tingginya minat terhadap perkebunan kelapa sawit terkait erat dengan kepentingan pemerintah daerah dalam mencukupi kepentingan ekonomi (Prabowo et al, 2017).…”

Riau Province is one of the provinces which have not revised the RTRWP until 2017. One possible cause relates to the conflicts of interest among the participating actors. Each actor exercises the power influences to secure individual interests. This study aims to identify the participating actors, to measure the power influences exchanged between the actors and to recommend solutions for resolving the Riau’s RTRWP revision issue. The method used is Actor-Centered Power (ACP) approach, which is supported by Content Analysis of Riau's RTRWP document and related regulations. The research findings show that there are at least nine actors involved in the revision process of the Riau’s RTRWP, where the role of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry is the most powerful then followed by the Riau Province Government. The research also shows the involvement of Ombudsman Agency, private corporations, and non-governmental organization (NGO) in the Riau’s RTRWP revision process. To accelerate the completion of the Riau’s RTRWP Regional Regulation Draft, coordination and integration between the participating actors are required as well as the law enforcement against legal violations and comprehensive conflict management.
