SOLUTION:
The social mapping process in Muaradua Village began with planning and permitting, followed by data collection through quantitative surveys and in-depth interviews, field observations, and focused group discussions (FGDs). The data collected covered demographic, geographic, psychographic, educational, health, economic activity, and social and institutional structure aspects of the community.
From the mapping results, it was found that the village’s main potential lies in the bamboo weaving craft sector and abundant bamboo natural resources. However, significant challenges include low human resource skills, limited market access, widespread usury practices, and inadequate infrastructure. This social mapping also identified vulnerable groups, potential social conflicts, and formulated recommendations for community empowerment programs such as skills training, cooperative establishment, ecotourism development, and public infrastructure revitalization.
Overall, this activity produced a social map and strategic recommendations that serve as the foundation for the implementation of PT Smelting’s CSR program to achieve positive and sustainable impacts for the community of Muaradua Village.
