Environmental issues are a hot issue today because of the incessant development
that only prioritizes economic aspects without thinking about sustainability. The
development of the concept of partnership development needs to involve the
community and has been regulated by Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning
Environmental Management and Protection. Environmental impact analysis,
hereinafter referred to as AMDAL, is a study of the significant impact of a planned
business and/or activity on the environment which is required for the decisionmaking

process regarding the operation of a business and/or activity. Community
participation is very important, firstly, community participation is a tool to obtain
information about the conditions of community needs and attitudes, because without
its presence the development program will fail; second, the community will trust a
development project or program more if they feel involved, starting from the
preparation, planning, and implementation process. Society has a dual existence, in
the sense that existence can be seen from several aspects or dimensions for
environmental management. First, the community is part of the environmental
ecosystem; second, the community is a builder as well as a destroyer of the
environment and third, the community is a decision maker in environmental
management.
