Abstract:
Development aims to change from a condition to a better condition, however this effort
also has a negative (risk) impact on the environment and includes the communities within
it. In the effort of environmentally safe development activities, almost every potential or
significant development activity on environmental damage is required to conduct an
Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA). Risk reduction efforts or damage to the environment
is only limited to the extent to which a development activity can be run. While the people
who become the object of development that is accommodated in the form of socialization,
is still not optimal. Is socialization only limited to introduce EIA activity process to society
or socialization also introduce and also involve society in development activity.
Socialization is a significant factor in creating a successful process of development
activities and EIA activities and not merely introducing but further involving the
community in the overall development process. Socialization activity is an activity of
internalization of new culture (development) into society life or change society into
development purpose. Bringing people together to engage especially those directly affected
by activities in the development plan will be able to act as agents of change in the
development. An important or significant role is the socialization activity is to minimize the
gap between the planned development activities to be conducted with the community. The
research was conducted on several socialization of EIA study and analyzed through
concept formulation and socialization process in change theory.
