Eksistensi Asas Pembangunan Berkelanjutan dalam hal Pengakuan dan Penghormatan kepentingan Desa pada Proyek Strategis Nasional (study case Konflik Desa Wadas)

Abstract

One of the National Strategic Projects in the past few months has been the construction of the Bener Dam, a type of stone fill, which was built in Guntur Village, Bener District, Purworejo Regency, Central Java. In the implementation of this National Strategic Project in the field, there were obstacles or rejection by the residents of Wadas Village. Wadas Village should not be the location for the construction of the Bener Dam but the problem occurred due to the rejection of andesite rock mining by some residents of Wadas Village which is one of the areas used by the government to mine andesite rock for the material needs of this project. The conflict that has arisen shows that there are differences in the development paradigm between the state and its people. Social conflicts are always portrayed only from the national interest, but are rarely placed with the approach of local wisdom originating from the village. National Strategic Projects should have a sustainable development view. Development that does not only look at the economic side but must also pay attention to the ecological potential in it that must be preserved. This ecological potential exists in Wadas Village. This ecological potential is a deposit of wealth which is not actually a dam which in the process of construction does not show the principle of sustainability and respects the local wisdom of Wadas Village. The paradigm for the public interest in terms of development planning cannot be applied simply because in the public interest there is an interest and need for local wisdom of the community which should be recognized and maintained by the state as a form of respect for the village as a pillar of a social entity that existed before the existence of the State of Indonesia.
