Analisis Dampak Aktivitas Panas Bumi PT SMGP Terhadap Lingkungan dan Kehidupan Masyarakat Desa Sibanggor Tonga
Keywords:
Geothermal, PT Sorik Marapi Geothermal Power, Environmental Impact, Community Life, Sibanggor TongaAbstract
The utilization of geothermal energy is one of the Indonesian government's strategies to increase the mix of new and renewable energy while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. One geothermal project that has attracted public attention is the operational activities of PT Sorik Marapi Geothermal Power (SMGP) in Sibanggor Tonga Village, Puncak Sorik Marapi District, Mandailing Natal Regency, North Sumatra. The presence of this company has brought various changes to the environmental conditions and socio-economic life of the surrounding community. On the one hand, geothermal activities can create jobs, improve village infrastructure, and increase community economic activity. On the other hand, various issues have arisen such as concerns about environmental pollution, health problems due to toxic gas leaks in several incidents, land conflicts, and changes in community social conditions. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach through analysis of various scientific journals, official documents, and previous research results related to PT SMGP's geothermal activities. The results of the study indicate that the impact of geothermal activities is multidimensional, namely providing development benefits while also giving rise to environmental and social challenges that require sustainable management through collaboration between the government, companies, and the community.
