Abstract

The background of this research is to answer the problem of why development projects that are in accordance with the principles of sustainable development goals for providing renewable and environmentally friendly energy, overcoming the shortage of electrical energy for industry and households, driving the economy for the creation of prosperity, in reality do not run smoothly. By taking the case of the Asahan 3 hydropower plant project (Asahan 3 HEPP Project) which is currently in the development process, the researcher tries to answer it with the assumption that the development project is a limited socio-economic resource and is contested by many parties (multi-actor). The researcher uses the arena concept from Bourdieu and the power concept as the basis for thinking, and the access theory from Ribot and Peluso as the basis for the analysis. The approach used in the methodology is multi-actor ethnography with qualitative data collection and analysis techniques. This study resulted in the findings that the practice of spectacular accumulation of multi-actor to obtain, maintain and control access to projects contributes to the achievement of development targets and progress. Multi actors from the community around the company, to nomads at the regional and national levels participate in the contest to benefit from the project’s presence.
