Abstract

The use of oil palm plantations has increased tremendously in 2012-2016. Unfortunately, there are still many lands that have not been managed sustainably. Furthermore, economic influences have an effect on increasing the area of ​​oil palm cultivation by local people. The aims of this study are: (1) To describe the use of oil palm plantations and (2) To examine the use of plantations to strengthen the local economy. This research uses qualitative method through in-depth interview approach and questionnaire. The results showed that the utilization of plantations has not been done sustainably. Land clearing often begins by burning the land without considering the environmental and economic impacts of health. This is done because of economic and time motives. Land clearing by burning will speed up the process of land use and management while reducing economic costs. Furthermore, land burning is often on peat so as to provide greater economic, environmental and health effects. On the other hand, land use for plantations is a community effort to generate income while strengthening the local economy.
