I. Introduction
This Second Semi-Annual Report informs on the social issues of the implementation of the
West Kalimantan Power Grid Strengthening Project. This report includes: a) an update of
land acquisition implementation by PLN UPK 5 of the approved Resettlement Customary
Communities DevelopmentPlan (RCCDP) for the 275 kV Transmission Line Project and
Resettlement Customary Communities Plan (RCCP) for the 150 kV Transmission Line
Project; b) a compilation of social issues emerged/ resulted from the land acquisition and
resettlement implementation by PLN UPK 5 as well as the ones emerged following civil
work implementation and how those have been mitigated; c) progress of Capacity Building
services provided by Social Expert of Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) to PLN and
main contractors; and d) action plan to further improve the project implementation and
monitoring to meet the project policy and compliance.
PT PLN (Persero) as the Project Executing Agency is responsible for the implementation
of the RCCDPfor the 275 kV Transmission Line Bengkayang – Jagoibabang and the
RCCP for 150 kV Transmission Line Bengkayang – Ngabang - Tayan including the
associated substations. For the acquisition of the bases for the transmission line towers,
PLN established an internal land acquisition team under the UPK 5 (Unit Pelaksana
Konstruksi/Construction Implementation Unit) in Bengkayang to acquire land less than one
hectare for each tower site through direct negotiation with landowners. This internal land
acquisition team has been tasked also to conduct inventory of losses for right of way
(ROW) of the corridor of the transmission line, i.e. identify trees and assets affected to be
compensated. For acquisition of land of more than one hectare, in particular to acquire the
land for substations, the respective land acquisition committee (LAC) was formed in each
district where the selected substations are located. Those respective LACs have closely
collaborated with PLN UPK 5 (Unit Pelaksana Konstruksi/Construction Implementation
Unit) in Bengkayang to implement the land acquisition and resettlement plan for the
substations. Overall land acquisition and resettlement implementations have been
managed by PLN UPK 5 and District LACs in reference to the updated RCCDP and RCCP
approved by ADB.
Implementation of the Resettlement Customary Communities Development Plan (RCCDP)
for the 275 kV Transmission Line Bengkayang – Jagoibabang and Resettlement
Customary Communities Plan (RCCP) for the 150 kV Transmission Line Bengkayang-
Ngabang-Tayan including the associated substationsis requires monitoring. PLN UIP X
has tendered a monitoring package through an external monitoring agency (EMA). Prior to
the tendering process the Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) had provided PLN UIP
X with a draft of the terms of reference (TOR) for External Monitoring Agency (EMA). The
selected EMA consultant firm will conduct monitoring of RCCDP and RCCP
implementation and provide an external monitoring report to PLN UIP X and PT PLN
(Persero) Head Office for any follow up actions required to minimize negative impacts of
the RCCDP and RCCP implementation. The TOR for the external monitoring agency are
enclosed in Annex 1.

PIC’s social expert assists the project to meet ADB’s IR policy requirements in delivering
land acquisition and resettlement of the West Kalimantan Power Grid Strengthening
Project. The consultant worked together with PLN UPK 5 as well as the contractors of the
four project packages to strengthen the project implementation processes and solve social
issues. There are several activities conducted in the period of July-December 2014. Those
activities include capacity building and awareness to PLN and the contractors on the
project compensation policy, social problems identification, mitigation strategy, as well as
general orientation on local wisdoms and customary institutions relevant to the project
implementation. On site monitoring was conducted in some critical areas for which social
issues were reported. However due to lack of institutional support (absence of social /
community liaison) faced by the contractors for the civil work implementation, necessary
actions to solve the social issues could not be performed optimally. Unfortunately those
unsolved issues created by the civil work activities of the contractors lead back to PLN
UPK 5 Office in Bengkayang.
Through strong leadership of the internal land acquisition team of PLN UPK 5,most of the
issues raised have been solved. Later the contractors have adapted lessons learnt from
PLN UPK 5 land acquisition team and used them to mitigate the issues raised during the
civil works / construction activities. However more systematic capacity building approach
to improve the performance of the contractors is still needed to avoid similar issues when
PLN UPK 5 is acquiring the remaining land for tower sites / footprints of the transmission
lines as well as when conducting compensation for ROW.
II. RCCDP and RCCP Implementation Progress
As indicated in the first Semi Annual Report submitted to ADB, PLN updated the
Resettlement Customary Communities Development Plan (RCCDP) for the 275 kV
Transmission Line Project Strengthening West Kalimantan Power Grid in August 2013.
The updated RCCDP has covered 81.5 km 275 kV Transmission Line from the planned
275/150 kV Bengkayang Substation to Jagoibabang. Total number of transmission line
towers of 275 kV Bengkayang-Jagoibabang is 201.
Following the RCCDP and RCCP approval, the PLN UPK 5 internal land acquisition team
continued acquisition of the remaining land for tower sites / footprints. It is reported that in
the period of July-December 2014, all the land acquisition for the remaining tower sites /
footprints is consistent with the updated RCCDP for the 275 kV Transmission Line
Bengkayang – Jagoibabang.
On the 150 kV Transmission Line route Bengkayang – Ngabang - Tayang, PLN also
updated the Resettlement and Customary Communities Plan (RCCP) for the 150 kV
Transmission Line Project Strengthening West Kalimantan Power Grid in March 2014.
This updated RCCP covers the 150 kV Bengkayang – Ngabang – Tayan Transmission
Page 11 of 60
Line, 150/20 kV Ngabang and Tayan Substations. The total number of towers for the 150
kV Bengkayang – Ngabang - Tayang Transmission Line is 400.
As indicated in the RCCP of 150 kV Bengakayang – Ngabang - Tayan Transmission Line,
the Tayan substation does not need additional land to be purchased as it belongs to PLN.
The Tayan substation part of the project is an extension of the existing substation. The
Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) will conduct due diligence of the land acquiring
process if needed. This is to ensure that Tayan Substation land acquisition meets ADB IR
policy requirements.
On the civil work implementation progress for package 3 (150 kV Transmission Line route
from Bengkayang to Ngabang), some rerouting and inserting towers are being proposed
by the contractor (KEC). PIC consultants team is reassessing the rerouting and indicating
an increase in the number of towers from 393 to 400 for the the 150 kV Transmission Line
Bengkayang-Ngabang-Tayang route. PIC will conduct an ad-hoc land acquisition
assessment of the additional 7 towers when the final decision on the rerouting and
inserting towers have been made to comply with ADB IR policy requirements.
Details of the tower changes are stated in Annex 2.
II.1. 275 kV Bengkayang – Jagoibabang Transmission Line Tower and
Substation
Out of 201 tower sites, in total 198 tower sites / foot prints along the 275 kV Bengkayang -
Jagoibabang transmission line have been compensated. It includes 4 locations as re-route
towers and 4 locations as insert towers. The remaining 3 tower sites have not been
compensated. Those parcels of land belong to individuals who request a very high
compensation on the land affected and also for Durian trees. The land for Bengkayang
Substation has been entirely compensated. The table below describes the details of land
acquisition compensation for 275 kV Bengkayang - Jagoibabang Transmission Line.

II.2. 150 kV Bengkayang – Ngabang - Tayan Transmission Line
As indicated in the updated RCCP for the 150 kV Transmission Line Bengkayang –
Ngabang – Tayang, there are 393 tower sites / footprints along the transmission line route.
It comprises of 260 tower sites along Bengkayang - Ngabang alignment and 133 tower
sites along Ngabang -Tayan alignment. 87 towers are located within production forest. It is
also indicated that the transmission line route traverses palm oil plantation in Amboyo
Utara Village and Sungai Kelik Village of Ngabang Sub-District of Landak District; one
parcel of rice field in Kayu Ara Village of Jelimpo Sub-District and some community rubber
plantations.
Regarding land acquisition implementation, 255 tower sites/footprints have been
compensated. The acquisition comprises of 217 tower sites located along the Bengkayang
- Ngabang route and 38 tower sites located along Ngabang - Tayan alignment. Both the
new Ngabang and Tayan substation sites have been compensated. The number of towers
in the two segments due to administrative consolidation has been changed. Therefore, of
the Bengkayang - Ngabang line route, there are now 278 towers in total instead of 259
towers as indicated in the updated RCCP. For the Ngabang - Tayan line route, there are
122 towers in total instead of 133 towers as indicated in the updated RCCP. The table 2
below describes the land acquisition implementation progress for the 150 kV Bengkayang-
Ngabang-Tayan Transmission Line and Substations.

III. Current Transmission Line ROW Monitoring Status
III.1. Contractor Implementation Structure
PLN is responsible for conducting land acquisition of tower sites / footprints, substations,
and provide compensation for trees and assets affected in the ROW corridor of the
transmission line. The scope of the contractors work includes excavating, concreting tower
base, tower erecting, and conductor stringing. PT Bukaka Teknik Utama is the contractor
for the 275 kV Transmission Line from Bengkayang – Jagoibabang (Package 1) and KEC
and Mitsubishi Corporation for the construction of the 150 kV Bengkayang – Ngabang -
Tayan Transmission Line (Package 3). CG Consortium is the contractor for the
construction of Bengkayang SubStation (Package 2). The construction of 150/20 kV
Ngabang substation and the extension of Tayan sub-Station (Package 4) is managed by
PT Siemen Indonesia.
For access road required for construction of foundations, tower erection works and
conductor stringing the contractors unavoidably have to provide a compensation for the
trees / crops affected or for any damage resulted or caused by their work activities.
Organizational structure of the contractors to manage the works related to towers
development and ROW stringing is indicated below. In general, both PT Bukaka and KEC
have implemented similar structure. Management of workers who directly conduct the
implementation of the civil works is headed by a Construction Manager. Under the
Construction Manager there is a Site Manager who directly manages Supervisors (civil,
erection, stringing and warehouse). Those supervisors are directly recruited from the
labourers needed to execute the works. For KEC however, the supervisor position is
blended into a construction team. This construction team like the supervisor in Bukaka is
directly recruiting labourers needed for civil works.
According to Bukaka and KEC, labourers are recruited both locally and from outside. Local
labours are recruited from nearby villages and / or some hamlets traversed by the
transmission line and ROW in which the civil works are conducted. The labour
recruitments normally involvie local leaders and / or village / hamlet heads to propose and
select suitable workers for the civil work. Figure 1 and 2 below demonstrate the
contractors’ structure for implementation of civil works.
Page 15 of 60
Figure 1 Bukaka Civil Work Implementation Structure
Figure2: KEC Civil Work Implementation Structure
Along with ADB SPS policy requirements, PIC Social and Environmental experts have
advised the contractors on the project safeguard policy requirements as they also
conducted additional land acquiring and provided compensation for affected / damaged
trees and assets. An orientation training on the project policy, social and environmental
safeguards, and health and safety issues in workplace was provided to all contractors by
PIC together with PLN UPK 5 in October 2014. Following the orientation training, the
contractors are requested to establish a grievance redress mechanism / complaint
handling system in each company organization. It was reported that during implementation
of the civil works, each contractor appointed grievance focal points involving their sub-
contractors. These ad-hoc focal points of the sub-contractors are tasked to take
complaints / grievances and resolve them as early as possible in collaboration with the
Page 16 of 60
contractors, PLN UPK 5 and the PIC. Figure 2 below describes the established project
grievance redress mechanism.
Figure 3: Project Grievance and Redress Mechanism
However, current assessment conducted by PIC Social expert, the adhoc grievance
redress mechanism set in the civil work sub-contractors is not working effectively. Under
this situation the complaints which should be handled by the contractors and their sub-
contractors unfortunately must be handled by PLN UPK 5 as the vocal points appointed
have moved to other villages along with the civil work construction progress. An action
plan to cope with this situation is being prepared by PIC and will be discussed with PLN
UPK 5 and the contractors to improve the performance.
III.2. Monitoring Progress of ROW Span Implementation
Total ROW of the two transmission line packages are 599 spans. Up to December 2014
the 275 kV Bengkayang – Jagoibabang Transmission Line ROW was affected by 63
Page 17 of 60
spans. There are 29 spans in the process of plants clearing. The plants under 65 spans
have been inventorised, and plants under 44 spans have not been inventorised. The
bench marking below has indicated more detailed information on the ROW Span Progress
of the 275 kV Bengkayang – Jagoibabang Transmission Line as provided by PLN UPK 5
of Bengkayang Office.
Page 18 of 60
For the 150 kV Bengkayang – Ngabang – Tayan transmission line route, inventory data of
affected plants by the ROW corridor of the transmission line was conducted in five villages,
i.e. Bange, Sango, Guwa, Sahan and Mayak. However, the compensation for the plants
and assets affected by the transmission ROW spans has not been conducted yet.
The compensation for plants affected by the ROW spans will only be paid after the
following measures have been carried out:
Inventory of existing trees / crops (plants) grown within ROW
Administration process of inventory results, in the form of inventory document which is
signed by owners and village officials
Deliberation related to all ROW problems presented to all stakeholders.
Socialization of payment system
ROW payment or compensation
Cutting of trees / crops (plants)

IV. Capacity Development and Awareness Services of PIC
IV.1. Capacity development to Contractors
Together with respective PLN internal land acquisition team of UPK 5 in Bengkayang, PIC
provides assistance particularly to guide the project implementation concerning the
entitlement matrix and eligibility in the compensation and resettlement policy principles as
stated in the RCCDPs. Another services provided includes field assistance to cope with
social issues emerged including the issues faced by the contractors. Regular monthly
meetings on the project implementation progress were set up to continuously monitor the
progress.
Initial orientation to all contractors by PIC and PLN UPK 5 was provided prior to the
commencing of civil works. This is to help and guide the contractors’ supervisors to
understand potential social safeguard / social issue and develop a plan for handling and
mitigating complaints / issues emerged during the project implementation
Since the demand has expanded along with the progress of the civil work implementation
an official socialization workshop was conducted in October 2014 by PIC and PLN UPK 5.
The socialization activity was related to the Health and Safety issues including
environmental and social safeguard mitigation and strategy. Details of the Socialization
Workshop are listed in Annex 3.
Another specific support conducted by the PIC was related to social problem solving at
Ringo Lojok Village of Banyuke Sub-District and informing customary procedures of Darit
in Menyuke and Banyuke Sub-Districts. The issues were indicated at the end of December
2014. However the problem solving was conducted in January 2015. Details of the
process and how they were solved is enclosed in Annex 4.
IV.2. Support to PLN on the Compensation Payment Principle Analysis
PT PLN (Persero), as indicated in the PAM, is required to assign an external monitoring
agency to monitor the RCCDP implementation including analyze compensation payment
principles, severity and vulnerability impacts to affected persons following the completion
of RCCDP 275 kV Bengkayang – Jagoibabang transmission line implementation. This
external agency monitoring report will be used to identify whether the compensation
payments provided have met ADB IR policy principles, and suggest PLN if there is a
necessary corrective action needed. The terms of reference for an external party
monitoring agency have been developed to suit the monitoring needs. The same
monitoring tool will also be applied when the RCCP 150 kV Bengkayang – Ngabang -
Page 20 of 60
Tayan transmission line is completed. However, this will be done by internal monitoring
team instead of an external monitoring agency / party.
Prior to an external monitoring team mobilization, PIC Social Expert provided assistance to
initially analyze compensation payment principles of the RCCDPs implementation. A
clustered random sampling was applied in selecting affected persons on the interviews
conducted by PIC Social Expert. However, since severity and vulnerability impacts
analysis requires a full census of affected peoples (APs), a further analysis will be
conducted by a third party monitoring agency to be hired by PLN.
IV.2.1. Compensation and Recovery Analysis
As indicated in the project compensation policy, in general compensation payment of
affected assets should meet replacement value and / or market price principle. This is to
ensure that project affected people who lost their assets and / or income sources will be
able to have at least the same or better condition as before the project implementation.
PIC Social Expert provided a systematic analysis on the most commonly affected type of
farmland planted with rubber and palm oil to demonstrate that the compensation payments
made by PLN for the affected assets for the West Kalimantan Power Grid project are
above the market value and meet replacement value principle. It is demonstrated that the
payments made by PLN are not only far above the market price for the assets affected but
also cover the cost for recovery.
a. Compensation & Recovery for Palm Cultivation:
The price of land for palm oil ranges currently between 7,500,000 – 15,000,000 IDR per ha. For the compensation value paid by PLN from each palm trunk between 350,000 – 700,000 IDR per stem, depending on the condition of the tree. In Bengkayang Regent Decree No. 286 Year 2013 dated of May 28, 2013 about Pricing Basic Compensation Planting Growing in Bengkayang mentioned that each productive palm tree is valued at 652,000 IDR; young palm tree is priced at 135,000 IDR per tree, and palm tree over the age of 25 years is priced at 423,800 IDR per tree. Thus, the value of the compensation between 350,000 – 700,000 IDR that was given by PLN actually exceeds the provision of the Regent Decree.
Compensation of land that has been determined by PLN generally is 40,000 IDR / sq.m, it means residents will be able to receive compensation money between 9,000,000-16,000,000 IDR (225 sq.m - 400 sq.m).
Plant spacing of palm oil ranges from 7-10 meters, or in each hectare can be planted around 111-143 trees. As for the residents, losing palm oil trees due to the project is between 4 - 9 palm oil trunks with the compensation between 2,800,000 – 6,300,000 IDR – each for the land in the corridor of of 150 kV and 275 kV lines.
Palm Oil started to be harvested after more than 5 years old, and can be harvested about 15-20 years.
During the peak of harvest (age 10-15 years) palm oil can be harvested every 15-20 days, of each tree can be taken one bunch weighing about 10-15 kg. Price is currently down to 1,300 - 1,800 IDR per kg.The treatment is quite expensive, especially for newly planted oil palm until the first fruit, around 1,500,000 IDR per ha, while maintenance and harvesting costs for a productive tree is about 1,000,000 - 1,250,000 IDR per hectare.
Page 21 of 60
The calculation analysis demonstrated above both for palm oil and rubber, the
compensation for affected assets paid by PLN has included the compensation for land and
plants. The cost for recovery assessed started from the purchase of land in other places,
buying seed plants, and the cost of maintenance until harvesting. From the difference
between the compensation received and the cost of recovery that can be seen whether
this project could economically benefit the community or vice versa. The analysis
demonstrated the payments made by PLN for the affected assets will not be detrimental to
the affected people. For example, if the average resident loses the land which ranges
from 225 sq.m - 400 sq.m, it is expected to be replaced by at least 5,000 sq.m in another
place which is close to the previous location. With the land price for palm oil currently
ranges between Rp 7.500.000 - Rp 15 million per ha, and compensation for plants around
Rp 700,000 per tree it can be said that until now compensation that has been implemented
was not to the disadvantage of the AP. Similar procedure is also applied to affected rubber
plants.
The table below summarizes the initial clustered random sampling survey / interviews
conducted during the period of July-December 2014 by Social Expert of PIC on the
compensation payment principles.
b. Compensation & Recovery for Rubber Land:
The price of land for rubber currently ranges between 7.500.000 - 15,000,000 IDR per hectare. The compensation value paid by PLN for each rubber tree is between Rp 100,000 - 350,000 IDR per stem, depends on the condition of the tree.
Compensation of land generally is 40,000 IDR / sq.m, it means residents will be able to receive a compensation money between 9,000,000-16,000,000 IDR (225 sq.m - 400 sq.m).
According to Mr. Susilo – rubber farmer in Lumar, plant spacing of rubber plant ranges from 4-7 meters, or in each hectare can be planted around 225-900 trees depending on age and type of trees (local rubber or superior rubber)
Each tower site contained 9-25 trees for 150 kV tower and approx. 25-50 trees for 275 kV towers. Thus the value of the compensation is between 3,000,000-3,750,000 IDR for land in 150 kV and 275 kV lines.
Local Rubber can be harvested after trees are more than 5 years old, and can be harvested for about 35 years, while superior rubber starts from 3-15 years.
Rubber can be harvested (tapping) every day except rainy day, with a yield of about 0.05 to 0.15 kg per day. It is estimated that in one year only about 20 kg - 30 kg per tree can be harvested, with a current price of between 7,300 - 10,800 IDR per kg.

V. Social Issues Identified and PIC Services for Problem
Solving and Mitigation
From July-December 2014, issues identified or raised resulted from both the RCCDP and
RCCP land acquisition implementation and the contractors’ activities. As indicated
unfortunately due to ineffective ad-hoc grievance redress mechanism/complaints handling
system established by the contractors, the issues raised/identified were requiring a direct
participation of PIC Social Expert to solve. In many cases PLN UPK 5 internal land
acquisition team was required to solve the issues effectively. The absence of an effective
grievance system by the contractors has been discussed with PLN UPK 5 and this will be
followed up by an action plan to improve the capacity of contractors to cope and mitigate
with social issues following the implementation of RCCDPs and during the work activities.
PLN UPK 5 and PIC have regular bi-weekly monitoring activity, which include data update
of compensation, tower construction progress, and settlement issues. Along with the bi-
weekly monitoring, PIC has provided detailed notes on each process of land restitution.
The process start from beginning of inventory of any land necessary, dissemination to the
public and landowners about the project ownership, data collection, compensation
procedure for plants, etc.
With regard to PIC services, Social expert conducted a series of ad-hoc consultation in the
field. The first consultation meeting was about the project information disclosure. It was
targeting the participation of general impacted community, affected households as well as
involving formal and informal leaders to inform the benefits and disadvantages of the
project. The second consultation was more advanced and addressing the needs of
affected people / land owners, witnessed by officials of the government, police and military
officials. The socialization described the inventory of losses and how it was administered.
Detailed compensation policy for land, plants/crops and other assets affected was also
described. It informed the community about the PLN UPK 5 internal land acquisition team
including the procedure for grievance related to the inventory of losses and the
compensation.
The process of compensation for plants and assets affected by the ROW is almost the
same as the compensation process for tower sites but with more land owners. For its
implementation, PLN refers to the Bupati/Regent decree of Bengkayang No. 286 /
Secretariat / Year 2013 dated 28 May 20131 on the basis of price fixing for damaged crops
in Bengkayang. It has been set on the classification of plants and productivity for each
crop plantation, forestry and other agriculture. This policy has been socialized to the
contractors KEC and Bukaka for their information.
1 The Bupati of Bengkayang Decree is enclosed in the report.
Page 25 of 60
V.1. Social Problem Identification and Solution
Social problems are identified in land acquisition implementation of RCCDP 275 kV
Bengkayang – Jagoibabang Transmission Line Route. Three tower sites / footprints (T-18,
T-19, and T-20) have not been acquired yet. This is because the land owner has
requested a very high compensation value. All possible efforts from mediating by local
leader and village government up to Head of District of Bengkayang, consultation with
district attorney and local MUSPIKA as well as with customary leaders and customary
organization have been taken up by PLN UPK 5. However this issue still has not been
solved. The notion about re-routing became an alternative solution option. However, this
re-routing option may also create a new problem if not conducted timely and economically.
The latest updated status of this issue is that PLN will wait until the other towers are
completed. The last negotiation will be conducted following completion of the construction
of the other towers of package 1 (275 kV Bengkayang – Jagoibabang Transmission Line).
For ROW and Stringing process up to this period, PLN UPK 5 held a series of socialization
about the ROW compensation of the 275 kV Transmission Line of Bengkayang –
Jagoibabang. In those activities, PLN UPK 5 described the minimum free distance (safety
zone), policy for plant and assets affected compensation, potential impacts of high voltage
transmission line including the mitigation plan to minimize the impacts, etc. Some inputs
noted during the socialization also consider a disclosure of the inventory results in each
affected village for corrections and clarification by the plant owners. Other suggestion is
that the compensation value should also be based on the latest standard price released.
Therefore the trees / plants’ owners are aware and feel the compensation is fair.
There is a problem raised and has not yet been resolved at span between tower 120 and
tower 121 of 275 kV Bengkayang – Jagoibabang Transmission Line. The owner of durian
trees asked for a compensation far above the standard price of Bengkayang Government
(SK Tanam Tumbuh of Bengkayang District Head). A series of meetings that have
involved the respective local government officials to resolve the issue has been made.
Unfortunately this case has not been resolved yet. UPK 5 has consulted with local
Attorney for a further plan to solve this issue and it is hoped that it can be solved soon.
For Bengkayang – Ngabang and Ngabang – Tayan 150 kV Transmission Line Route,
some social problems have also been indicated. Those problems include blockage of
access by communities in the Darit area, and dispute with local workers and other issues
related with local custom / adat resulted in application of custom / adat fines.
Community blocking the access to tower sites request direct benefits in the form of
households’ electricity grid connections. This has been reported and will be discussed with
PLN HQ and ADB of the project benefits strategy implementation in 2015.
Other issue is related to the threats upon the sub-contractor workers. They were
threatened to stop working because the unconstructed land has been re-planted by
previous owners. Those owners are afraid to lose harvest from the tress they planted if
Page 26 of 60
they do not stop the sub-contractor’s workers. Civil works will be allowed to continue after
the harvesting or to completely pay high custom / adat fines – especially for affected
paddy fields. Another request, to start the work in a banuaq or customary area, requires a
traditional ceremony. This activity should also be financed by the contractors.
V.2. Informed Consent to Indigenous People / Adat Community of the
Project
Often a social problem is related to local tradition and culture. Often it is hardly to be
understood by other people (outsiders) who are engaged with the technical work. This
type of issue sometimes is being considered as irrational by the contractors and bothering
their work. However, culture should be interpreted as a set of idea-behaviour- and
behavioural outcome, which holistically has been institutionalized and is believed by the
people to support the cultural values. Sacred things that relate to religious life are obeyed
by society more than the profane things in their daily life.
Detailed description below demonstrates that in the RCCDP and RCCP land acquisition
implementation as well as implementation of civil work, the principle of free prior informed
consent (FPIC) is implemented respectfully for this project.
Tower construction is considered as interfering in nature and the balance of their religious
life, thus it should be accompanied by activities such as ritual or traditional ceremony.
However not all community groups supporting the culture and tradition are requesting such
ceremonies. Normally if there are traditional ceremony requests that potentially will burden
the project implementation progress, a coordination with local government, MUSPIKA, and
Dewan Adat Dayak (DAD) as a precaution to avoid exploitation of traditional rituals by non-
qualified groups will be done. PLN has convinced DAD about the importance and benefit
of generating electricity network at West Kalimantan in the sub-district of Seluas area.
In response to support, DAD has published an appeal letter No 023/DAD/SLS/V/2013 of
9th October 2013 (enclosed in this report) to the citizens in Seluas-sub district to support
the development of high-voltage transmission lines, and appealed not to obstruct such
development by:
a. The demands of traditional ritual for tower erection
b. Threatening tradition punishment to the workers with no obvious reason
c. Disrupting the implementation of tower erection
d. Closing the road access
e. Other disrupting methods
Page 27 of 60
Implementation of Adat activity before Tower erection. The time is decided by Adat head
and all cost are financed by the contractor. Unfortunately, this appeal letter is not
intensively socialized by the DAD team at the contractor’s workplace as a tool to avoid disturbance through social problem. The construction works are often disrupted because
cultural activities have to be performed in almost every banuaq (culture territories).
Figure 4: Sample of Adat Clearance received following Consultation prior to civil
work implementation
Up to now, the Dayak indigenous of West Kalimantan still preserve their local traditions
which are heritages of their ancestors. Almost in the entire life cycle they pass through a
series of traditional rituals, either individually or as community. Traditional activities are
Page 28 of 60
more visible since the “New government regime” era ended in 1998; since then there is more flexibility and discretion in life related to ritual and spiritual traditions. In West
Kalimantan it is characterized by the existence of the Dayakologi Institute, an institution
that is managed by a number of academics and Dayak cultural figures with the aim to keep
inventory, documenting, protecting and continuing the ancestors’ tradition of cultural heritages. In fact, ritual ceremony that relates to a series of traditional ritual in Dayak
culture is getting stronger but there are also people who take advantage of rituals for their
personal gain. In these cases Dayakologi Institute plays its role. Since the beginning,
Dayakologi Institute always socialized and motivated the society to preserve culture and
minimize its misuse. In order to make the implementation and control easier, each area
has its territory and cultural leader.
Related to that issue, contractors or PLN will be called by Tumenggung or cultural leader
to discuss about the culture to be respected in constructing towers. A series of traditional
ritual ceremonies will be held depending on rules of each region. In practice, the invitation
or announcement is delivered by local government (usually Headman or Sub-district Head)
for legality and official mark administratively. Financial matters are covered by the
contractors, while traditional ritual is carried out by local cultural institution.
A number of activity or traditional rituals that have been done in some cultural areas
passed by the 275 kV Bengkayang – Jagoibabang transmission line are shown in Table 5
below:

Long before the ritual is performed, coordination has been made between the local
government, cultural institution or contractor/PLN and about payment of the cost for the
ceremony. The request for the fund is sent to the contractor through Sub-district or Village.
If all preparation has been done, the invitation is sent out. After the traditional rituals are
done, local government (usually Sub-district Government or Village Government) make a
report as the evidence that the area is practicing traditional rituals.
Other important thing has been practiced in every traditional ritual is respecting local
believe system in each cultural territory passed by the Transmission Line. Request for
rituals are entertained prior to the start of the civil work construction works.
VI. Action plans and strategies developed to improve the Project Social Safeguard compliances.
This action plan is developed based on the need and urgency to cope with the social
issues raised. This will be discussed more intensively by the social / resettlement expert.
However the initial discussion was made with the PLN UPK 5 Land Acquisition team and
described based on the actual issues faced by the project.
Key-areas should be addressed to improve project implementation performance including:
Management of Information: Content, technique, and appropriate media to be used
under consideration of local conditions / custom (illustration, language, etc.). This
spreading information to be done before clearing of ROW and stringing process. It will
be targeted to contractors and their sub-contractors.
Land preparation / clearing vs. tradition, cultural string of home living: Managing
problems that relate to preparing land, cutting trees for interest of the project. The
understanding of social aspect of culture especially cultural problem in Dayak people’s live will be the key-opener to the implementation of social communication with the
community, through Focus Group Discussions (FGD). It will be targeted to contractors
and their sub-contractors.
Social compensation: The preparation of some social compensation programs to
muffle the possibility of distractions and social conflict either emerged from their own
society or outside society that will disturb the project. This social compensation involve
discussion and FGD that prioritize NEED rather than WANT. People should understand
those aspects. PIC will take a lead to facilitate this.
Coordination: Implementation of coordination with some parties who control such
land that might be disturbed by project activity through:
Page 30 of 60
i. Religious leaders, public figures, women, youth etc. in locations controlled by
people and/or prone locations, culture reason, etc.
ii. Traditional leaders, traditional institutions, etc., especially in a number of locations
that are considered sacred with trust system, and the locations also have some
cultural heritages.
iii. Government institutions that control the land such as Ministry of Forestry, school,
local government, etc.
iv. Government institution and other institutions that dominate important and vital
objects in the project sites such as Armed Forces Institute (ABRI).
All concerned project stakeholders will be requested to increase their participation.
Social empowerment and community development for impacted community and
executive power: This activity is not a recommendation for the direct impact of the
project activities, but it can be a form of social compensation that will be given (if any).
A number of activities such as counselling, saving electrical energy, training for
managers of facilities, sanitary facilities, counselling for Cleanliness and Health (PHBs),
Clean Water and Sanitation Community-based (SANIMAS) for society, women's
groups, etc.

Annex 1: Terms of Reference for External Monitoring Agency
Monitoring on the Resettlement and Customary Communities Development Plan
(RCCDP/RCCP) 275 kV and 150 kV West Kalimantan Power Grid Implementation
Background
The project Implementation Strengthening of West Kalimantan Power Grid is intended to
improve the reliability of the electricity supply through the supply of electric power through
275 kV Transmission Line from the Sarawak/East Malaysian border to Bengkayang, and
increase access of West Kalimantan households to electricity connection through the
extension of the 150 kV transmission line system. The project will consist of 82 km 275 kV
transmission line from the Malaysian border to Bengkayang where a 275/150 kV
substation will be constructed adjacent to Magmagan Karya village. From the Bengkayang
Substation, a 90 km 150 kV transmission line will be extended to the new Ngabang
Substation in Landak District to be constructed within the project extension. From
Ngabang substation 55 km 150 kV transmission line will connect to Tayan Substation in
Sanggau District, which will be extended under this project.
Of the RCCDP up to December 2014, PLN has compensated 198 out of 201 towers
along the 275 kV Bengkayang - Jagoibabang transmission line, including 4 locations as re-
route towers and 4 locations as insert towers. The three tower sites which have not been
compensated are located on private land. Of the RCCP there are 396 tower sites along
the 150 kV Bengkayang – Ngabang - Tayan Transmission Line which comprises of 278
tower sites along Bengkayang - Ngabang alignment and 116 tower sites along Ngabang -
Tayan alignment. 256 tower locations have been compensated, they comprise of 218
tower sites located along the Bengkayang-Ngabang route and 38 tower sites located along
Ngabang - Tayan alignment.
The need for External Monitoring Services to Monitor Involuntary Resettlement
Implementation
As indicated above, besides the internal monitoring needs, as indicated in the RCCDP and
RCCP three months after the compensation payment, an external monitoring service is
required to monitor impacts of the RCCDP/RCCP implementation. It is to ensure that all
recommendations and mitigation measures under the approved Updated RCCDP/RCCP
are being implemented and achieve the resettlement objectives.
The contracted external monitoring agency will provide its services to PLN to monitor the
following:
a. payment of compensation and rehabilitation assistance being in place before award
of civil contracts
Page 34 of 60
b. land donation and negotiated settlements
c. evaluation of overall RCCDP/RCCP implementation after 6 months of project
completion.
Objective
The service provided by selected EMA is to verify the ongoing internal monitoring
information of the implementation of a resettlement plan and advise the EA/IA on
safeguard compliance issues for a sub-project of RCCDP/RCCP, which is considered to
have significant involuntary resettlement impacts. An experienced external monitoring
agency or a qualified NGO will be engaged by the EA/IA to undertake the external
monitoring exercise.
Proposed Scope of Work
There are general and specific scope of works to be conducted by the Assigned EMA.
General scope of work includes:
I. Review and verify the progress in implementing the resettlement plan through the
monitoring information internally generated.
II. Monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of the EA/IA and the implementing
NGO/consultant if any, in the resettlement plan implementation.
III. Assess whether the involuntary resettlement objectives, particularly the restoration
or enhancement of the livelihoods of all displaced persons and the living standards
of the displaced poor, have been met.
IV. Assess significant involuntary resettlement issues and, if required, draw on policy
and practices to advise on a corrective action plan.
Specific scope of work includes:
(i) Visit each subproject when payment of compensation, resettlement, and social
programs have been completed and review the results of internal monitoring for the
purpose of preparing a monitoring report. Verification will be assessed through
random checking of 30% of affected households at field level to assess whether
land acquisition and/or resettlement and/or social program objectives have
generally been met. The external monitor will involve the affected persons and
community groups in assessing the impact of land acquisition and resettlement for
monitoring and assessment purposes through participatory community meetings.
(ii) Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the land acquisition and involuntary
resettlement objectives and approaches, as well as of the implementation
strategies.
(iii) Review and verify progress in resettlement plan implementation in each subproject
and prepare a semi-annual report for the EA/IA after the implementation of the plan
begins.
(iv) Make further monitoring visits to each subproject to assess ongoing progress and
produce a monitoring report for each assessment. These visits will coordinate with
Page 35 of 60
the internal monitoring, activities with the displaced persons and involve special
attention to monitor impacts on the women and other vulnerable groups among the
displaced persons.
(v) Assess the effectiveness and results achieved by the livelihood restoration program
and the relocation.
(vi) Advise the borrower/client on safeguard compliance issues identified during
monitoring
(vii) Prepare monitoring report that describes whether the involuntary resettlement
program has been successfully implemented in accordance with the resettlement
plan.
(viii) Describe any outstanding actions that are required to bring the resettlement
activities in line with the resettlement plan and the Safeguard Requirements 2 of the
Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) of ADB and describe further mitigation
measures needed to meet the needs of any displaced person or families judged
and/or perceiving themselves to be worse off as a result of the project.
(ix) Provide a timetable and define budget requirements for any supplementary
mitigation measures for the resettlement plan and detail the process of compliance
monitoring and the final signing off for these displaced persons. It should also
describe any lessons learned that might be useful for future activities.
Monitoring Method
A combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods will be applied to be able
to get reliable data and information as follow:
Field visits to assess RP updating inventory of the lost assets, public consultation
meetings, preparation of relocation, and effectiveness of Resettlement Working Group,
random review of payment vouchers to ensure full compliance with the requirements of the
RF. This review will sample about 30% of all the APs.
Random site visits, where asset acquisition processes are taking place, to ascertain that
compensation has been duly paid prior to the commencement of civil works. This activity
will cover at least 30% of the APs and 20% of APs identified as vulnerable group.
For this purpose, the EMA will check the following
(i) results of the detailed measurement survey or inventory of affected assets;
(ii) valuation of affected assets based on replacement cost; and
(iii) compensation is paid prior to initiation of civil works.
Special market study to validate whether the unit costs used in compensating fixed assets
are at current market prices or replacement costs.
Periodic field visits to ascertain that affected people are adequately informed of project
objectives, impacts, compensation policy and entitlements through an effective public
information campaign. This activity will cover at least 30% of all the APs.
Page 36 of 60
Periodic field visits to assess if grievance procedures are adequately explained to the
affected people and implemented. This activity will cover at least 30% of all the APs in the
project.
For the evaluation study, the methodology will be based mainly on comparison of the
socio-economic status of severely APs following displacement and their socio-economic
prior to displacement.
For this purpose, a follow-up socio-economic survey will be conducted by the EMA to find
out the living standards of severely affected APs nine months to one year following
completion of RP implementation
Data gathering will be carried out through a combination, as appropriate, of the following
techniques: (i) questionnaires, to be personally administered; (ii) purposive interviews of
AP households; (iii) focus group discussions and village meetings; and (iv) meeting with
project staff.

RISALAH PENYELESAIAN MASALAH
TERHENTINYA KEGIATAN TOWER DI WILAYAH KECAMATAN BANYUKE HULU
1. Permasalahan: Kegiatan pondasi T-104 s,d T-106 terhenti karena adanya tuntutan
25 orang pekerja yang tidak terima dihentikan sementara, yang berujung pada tuntutan
pembayaran upah sejak 3 Januari 2015 dan pesangon Rp 5 juta per orang. Sebagai
jaminan, para pekerja yang berasal dari Jawa Tengah (9 orang) dan 16 orang
penduduk local (Desa Ringo Lojok) telah melakukan penyitaan kendaraan operasional
(mobil Xenia dan motor Honda) milik sub-kontraktor ETC sejak tanggal 7 Januari 2015,
yang selanjutnya dititipkan di Polsek setempat.
2. Pra-kondisi: Konsultan TE (Social & Resettlement)baru mendapat informasin selintas
dari kontraktor KEC, Senin – 5 Januari 2015 tentang terhentinya kegiatan fisik di T-92
sd T-149 karena masalah non-teknis. Selanjutnya konsultan TE menindaklanjuti
dengan langkah sebagai berikut:
a) Cek informasi ke beberapa sumber: diketahui ada beberapa permasalahan yang
harus segera diselesaikan, yakni: terganggunya kegiatan T-92 – T-119 karena mis-
communication; dan dihentikannya kegiatan T-146 – T-149 karena tuntutan
masyarakat setempat untuk minta pengaliran listrik di wilayah itu (selengkapnya
dalam risalah tersendiri).
b) Koordinasi dengan PLN UPK-5; PLN Rayon Ngabang; KEC, sub-kontraktor ETC,
Kecamatan Manyuke, Tripika (Camat-Kapolsek-Danramil) dan Dewan Adat Dayak
Kec Banyuke Hulu dll terkait dengan rencana penyelesaian masalah dalam bentuk

3. Agenda: Musyawarah penyelesaian sengketa PT ETC dengan 25 orang pekerja
Acara dibuka oleh Camat yang menyatakan bahwa di wilayahnya ada masalah
social internal yang berimbas pada penahanan mobil dan motor milik sub
kontraktor oleh pekerja yang warga local. Hal ini tidak akan terjadi jika dari awal
semuanya jelas, dan paham akan adat dan pola kebiasaan warga setempathingga
dapat mematuhi adat istiadat.
Selanjutnya penjelasan Kapoksek yang menjelaskan bahwa pihaknya baru
menerima laporan penitipan kendaraan pada tanggal 7 Januari 2015 (surat
terlampir). Menurutnya, masa;ah ini tidak perlu terjadi jika semuanya terlaporkan
dari awal dan ada perjanjian kerja yang jelas. Demikian pula saat ada perwakilan
dari ETC (Hendrik) untuk penyelesaiannya, namun tidak dapat mengkomunikasikan
dengan jelas dan tidak dapat mengambil keputusan karena pimpinannya di Jakarta.
Untuk penyelesaiannya diharapkan masyarakat tidak anarkis, karena ini proses
pembangunan yang besar untuk kepentingan bersama.
4. Kronologis: Setelah pembukaan oleh Camat dan arahan Kapolsek, musyawarah
didahului dengan mendengarkan kronologis permasalahan dari berbagai pihak
sebagai berikut:
Balandus – wakil pekerja asal Desa Ringo Lojok: Pada tanggal 3 Januari 2015,
ada 16 orang pekerja local dan 9 orang asal Jawa Tengah sudah berangkat ke
lokasi kerja, namun secara mendadak ada pemberitahuan dari P Victor (bagian
absensi) bahwa karena sesuatu hal pekerjaan dihentikan sementara. Para pekerja
merasa tidak dihargai karena merasa tidak punya masalah, dan untuk itu selama
belum ada kejelasan para pekerja minta terus dibayar sejak tanggal 3 Januari
2015. Sebagai jaminan, selanjutnya mobil disita dan dititipkan di Polsek.
Sabidu – wakil pekerja asal Desa Ringo Lojok: Selain tuntutan di atas,
disampaikan pada Hendrik bahwa pekerja minta pesangon Rp 5 juta per orang, dan
mobil baru akan diserahkan jika semua tuntutan telah dilunasi.
Muji – wakil pekerja asal Jawa Tengah: Intinya sama, hanya karena tidak
dipekerjakan kembali dan harus pulang ke Jawa, minta ditambah tiket pesawat
ditanggung perusahaan.
Anton – pengusaha/supplier BBM: masih ada piutang pada perusahaan Rp
33.463.000 yang belum dibayar.
Page 48 of 60
Sepot – Kaur Pembangunan Desa Ringo: Mohon perhatian dari perusahaan
mengenai akses jalan ke Desa yang rusak setelah ada kegiatan pembangunan
Tower. Hal ini sudah disampaikan pada Hendrik. Selain itu dijanjikan ikut kerja
namun belum terealisasi.
5. Upaya penyelesaian: Camat yang bertindak sebagai pimpinan rapat
mengingatkan bahwa pembangunan di Kecamatan Banyuke Hulu masih tertinggal,
dan pembangunan Tower SUTT menjadi salah satunya. Untuk itu Camat meminta
masyarakat mendukung dan bersikap bijak jangan sampai pembangunan di
Banyuke ini dibatalkan; minta pada semua pihak untuk menjaga keamanan,
kebersihan, adat istiadat setempat dll. Selanjutnya miemepersilakan tanggapan dari
pihak kontraktor, konsultan dll memberikan tanggapan mengenai hal ini.
Acen – Ketua Dewan Adat wilayah Darit dan sekitarnya (Kec Manyuke,
Banyuke Hulu): Pembangunan SUTT adalah pembangunan berskala besar
yang memerlukan waktu lama dengan kerjasama dan partisipasi banyak pihak
termasuk dari masyarakatnya. Sejak awal kontraktor belum melakukan
koordinasi dan konsultansi – khususnya dengan pihak Dewan Adat, termasuk
dalam hal merekruit karyawan yang berasal dari local. Musyawarah harus je;as
dari awal, karyawan harus menghormati aturan perusahaan dan sebaliknya –
termasuk menghormati adat kebiasaan setempat – apalagi sudah ada lembaga
adat. Permintaan upah harus sesuai dan wajar, termasuk dalam kasus ini
jangan mempersoalkan kerugian sendiri tapi harus melihat tujuan besar jangan
sampai merusak tata krama dan adat setempat. Bila sampai terjadi. Pihak
Lembaga Adat tidak akan segan melakukan tindakan sesuai kewenangannya.
Tata Sanjaya –perwakilan sub-kontraktor PT ETC: Sebenarnya pada
tangga; 12 Januari 2015 sudah ada pertemuan dengan sejumlah pekerja dari
Jawa dan local, Kesepalatan sementara saat itu untuk local akan dibayar 5 hari
kerja dan akan bekerja kembali dengan pola dan upah baru; adapun dengan
pekerja dari Jawa minta dibayar 10 hari dan ongkos pulang – karena tidak minta
dipekerjakan kembali. Jika hari ini minta kembali dibayar 11 hari dan terus akan
bertambah selama belum dibayar, juga masih tetap minta pesangon Rp
Page 49 of 60
5,000.000 per orang jika tidak dipelerjakan kembali, harus dibicarakan kembali
dengan pucuk pimpinan yaag saat ini ada di Jakarta.
Anirud –KEC: Menjelaskan kembali akar masalah mengapa ada beberapa
pekerjaan Tower yang harus dihentikan sementara, nilai kasar borongan
pekerjaan pondasi, kondisi financial dll, termasuk keterlambatan progress yang
selama 3 bukan ini PT ETC baru menyelesaikan 5 pondasi dan 2 erection dari
28 tower yang harus dikerjakannya.
Camat: Mengingatkan kembali maksud tujuan pembangunan, semua harus
bijak dan rasionak, apalagi untuk persoalan yang sebelumnya tidak
dikomunikasikan dengan baik – termasuk pada semua lembaga yang ada di
lokasi (kepala wilayah, unsure keamanan, pihak lembaga adat dll).
Konsultan TE (Social & Resettlement): Dengan menggaris-bawahi
pernyataan Camat, Kapolsek, Ketua Dewan Adat, mencoba memediasi
permasalahan dengan hasil kesepakatan sebagai berikut:
o Bahwa dalam pekerjaan ini tidak mengenal istilah pesangon, apalagi dalam
jumlah yang tidak rasional.
o Untuk pekerja local: Bahwa karena pekerja tidak bekerja karena
pemberitahuan yang mendadak, sifatnya bukan pembayaran upah tapi
kompensasi kerugian bersama yang harus dibagi bersama dengan sub-
hontraktor. Disepakati jumlah harinya menjadi 12 hari kerugian, dan jika
dibagi bersama menjadi 6 hari lerja yang harus dibayar, dengan catatan
mereka dapat dipekerjakan kembali dengan perjanjian baru.
o Untuk pekerja asal Jawa Tengah: mendapat hak yang sama (kompensasi
senilai 6 hari), namun karena tidak menuntut dipekerjakan kembali, mereka
berhak mendapat onglos transportasi kembali ke Jawa dan biaya akomodasi
selama perjalanan.
o Jika semua telah terbayar, pekerja harus membuat surat pencabutan
penahanan mobil dan motor yang dititipkan di kantor Polsek.
o Sesuai dengan arahan Camat dan Dewan Adat, kerusakan jalan ke Desa
Ringo Lojok yang diakibatkan aktivitas pembangunan Tower harus diperbaiki
– minimal dengan penumpulan batu pada ja;an berlimpur yang tidak dapat
dilalui kendaraan kecil.
o Untuk permasalahan utang piutang dengan supplier, akan dibahas
dikemudian hari mengingat masih ada beberapa hal yang belum disepakati,
dan harus menghadirkan mengambil kebijakan dari pihak sub-kontraktor.
Dalam pelaksanaannya nanti akan disaksikan oleh Camat dan Kapolsek.

6. SIMPULAN:
Pembangunan Tower SUTT adalah pembangunan besar dan lama untuk
kepentingan bersama. Oleh karenanya tidak boleh ada yang menghambat,
sesuai dengan aturan dan adat istiadat yang berlaku. Dengan telah adanya
kesepakatan bersama, masalah dianggap selesai dan pekerjaan dapat
dilanjutkan.
Kendaraan dikembalikan pada malam harinya setelah semua pembayaran
selesai. Pekerja local harus dipekerjakan kembali dengan ketentuan bahwa
semua dengan aturan yang baru dan dikomunikasikan pada kepala wilayah,
lembaga keamanan dan ketertiban serta Dewan adat setempat.
Dengan adanya kesepakatan ini, pihak sub-kontraktor dan pekerja local
berjanji akan menepati semuanya, dan terjadi hal serupa dikemudian hari,
pihakl keamanan dan lembaga ladat tidak akan segan-segan untuk
memberikan tindakan dan sanksi bagi yang meanggar.
Berindak sebagai saksi dalam penyelesaian ini (pembayaran kompensasi dll)
adalah Camat, Kapolsek, Ketua Dewan Adat, dan konsultan TE (Social &
resettlement).

RISALAH PERTEMUAN
UPAYA PENYELESAIAN MASALAH SOSIAL DI DARIT
Serangkaian pertemuan terkait informasi sejumlah permasalahan social (non teknis) di
wilayah adar Darit (Kecamatan Menyuke dan Kecamatan Banyuke Hulu) yang berdampak
terganggunya pembangunan tower di wilayah tersebut.
Informasi bermula dari KEC yang menyebutkan bahwa Tower 92 – 149 tidak dapat
dikerjakan karena ada masalah non teknis yang harus segera diselesaikan. Selanjutnya
tim social PLN mengundang mendiskusikan permasalahan tersebut – khususnya
gangguan perusakan mobil yang dialami sub-kontraktor ETC.
Serangkaian diskusi dan kunjungan lapangan dilakukan untuk menginventarisir informasi
terkait itu, untuk dianalisis dan dicarikan solusinya, dengan rangkuman sebagai berikut:
1. PERMASALAHAN PERUSAKAN MOBIL
Pertemuan dilaksanakan Sabtu, 31 Januari 2015 mulai pk 10,00 – 13.00 di rumah Bpk
Syanting – Ketua Dewan Adat Dayak untuk Kecamatan Menyuke. Hadir dalam
pertemuan itu pihak yang terlibat (Hendrik dkk – subkontraktor ETC) dan konsultan (Ari
Hariadi – Social and resettlement, dan Abd Mukti – Structur Eng pack-3).
Beberapa hal yang perlu dicatat dalam pertemuan itu antara lain:
Page 55 of 60
Bahwa peristiwa perusakan mobil (T-118 – T-119) oleh salah seorang warga
Darit terjadi bulan Desember menjelang perayaan Natal tahun 2014 dan
kasusnya telah selesai dengan perdamaian ke-dua belah pihak.
Peristiwa bermula dari permintaan pembayaran upah untuk kebutuhan perayaan
natal – walaupun baru bekerja selama 4 hari dan belum saatnya dibayar.
Perusahaan
KeluargaTumenggung Angkaras yang anaknya terlibat peristiwa
mencoba memfasilitasi, namun terlambat karena kendala teknis pengiriman
(ATM rusak) terjadi keterlambatan yang berakibat kaca mobil retak . Persoalan
selesai setelah upah terbayarkan, dan ke-dua belah pohak telah saling
memaafkan.
Informasi gangguan masyarakat karena pekerjaan dihentikan, antara lain
berupa pemagaran lokasi tower oleh penduduk pada tower 104, 107, 110, 118,
dan 119. Hal ini berakibat menurunnya motivasi para pekerja di lapangan
karena mereka merasa terus terancam.
Syanting - Ketua Dewan Adat Dayak mengatakan bahwa permasalahan adat
yang dapat ditangani hanya di wilayah kekuasaannya masong-masing. Artinya
bahwa ia hanya dapat menangani untuk wilayah adat Darit di Kecamatan
Menyuke saja, sedangkan untuk wilayah Kecamatan Bayuke Hulu dapat
menghubungi Ketua Adat setempat (Bpk Acen).
Ketua Dewan Adat Dayak meminta pada semua pihak yang bekerja di
wilayahnya untuk selalu melaporkan dan berkoordinasi dengan pihaknya, agar
jika terjadi permasalahan yang terkait adar dapat dihindari sedini mungkin.
Untuk mengembalikan semangat kerja, Ketua Dewan Adat menyarankan pada
pekerja yang pernah punya masalah (Hendrik) untuk melakukan kegiatan adar
yang dinamakan “kasumangatan”.

KONTRAKTOR
Rapat dilaksanakan Sabtu, 31 Januari 2015 mulai pk 18,00 – 23.00 di Mess Tracktebel
Ngabang, dengan maksud untuk meneruskan informasi pertemuan dengan Bpk
Syanting – Ketua Dewan Adat Dayak Kecamatan Menyuke. Selain itu dimaksudkan
pula untuk menginventarisir permasalahan social dan non teknis yang ada di wilayah

Hadir dalam pertemuan itu pihak sub kontraktor yang ada di wilayah Bengkayang –
Ngabang. Selain itu dihadiri pula konsultan (Ari Hariadi – Social and resettlement, Abd
Mukti – Structur Eng & Freden – inspector pack-3).
Beberapa hal yang perlu dicatat dalam pertemuan itu antara lain:
PT ETC:
Wilayah kerja PT ETC dimulai dari Medang hingga Desa Angkarasdi Kecamatan
Menyuke, hingga Desa Ringolojok Kecamatan Banyuke Hulu mulai T-92 – T-119)
T89 dan T93 tidak dapat dikerjakan karena menurut pengakuan pemilik lahan
belum dibebaskan/belum dibayar PLN
Page 56 of 60
Masyarakat tidak membolehkan bekerja di T-92, T-94, T-95 selama T-89 dan T-93
belum dibayar. Selanjutnya jika sudah dibayar, harus melakukan upacara adat
T-106 menurut masyarakat belum dibayar lahannya oleh PLN
T-100 dan T-107 siap erection, namun T-107 ditutup aksesnya oleh masyarakat,
terkait belum selesainya permasalahan penghentian pekerjaan oleh sub kontraktor.
PT SONI:
Wilayah kerja PT Soni dimulai dari Ansang hingga Desa Angkaras mulai T-120 –
T-141
Diskusi progress sub-kontraktor package-3 dengan konsultan
Pekerjaan T-121 diberhentikan
sementara, karena tidak diperkenankan bekerja malam hari – yang sebelumnya
dilakukan untuk mengejar waktu progress.
T-124 belum dibayar lahannya
Beberapa kali telah kena denda adat karena sejumlah pekerja pendatang tidak
paham tentang itu.
Kerjasama dengan pekerja local telah cova dilaksanakan, namun biaya meningkat
sangat banyak. Untuk 1 tim pekerja pernah meminta 12 orang pekerja local, namun
yang datang 40 orang dan semuanya harus dipekerjakan.
Sistem upah kerja yang diminta pekerja local ingin harian, sama dengan pekerja
pendatang.
Secara umum PT Soni menghentikan kegiatan karena pembiayaan dinilai tidak
efisien karena peningkatan biaya yang tak terduga, yang disebabkan masalah non
teknis.
Karena sudah mulai musim tanam, T-122, T-135, T-136, T-137 tidak dapat
dikerjakan karena sudah ditanami padi oleh penduduk.
PT PORTALINDO
Wilayah kerja PT Portalindo dimulai dari Desa Mayak hingga Desa Mamek – semua
di Kecamatan Menyuke, mulai T-142 – T-156)
Dibandingkan dengan 2 sub kontraktor lain, PT Portalindo relative dapat lebih
menekan harga upah pekerja, karena system yang digunakan untuk penggalian
dan angkut material adalah system borongan.
Selain itu PT Portalindo juga didukung dengan kemampuan koordinatornya dalam
hal sosialisasi, komunikasi dan negosiasi. Hal ini terjadi karena coordinator
penduduk local yang sudah paham karakter dan kenal sebagian pekerjanya.
Page 57 of 60
Sistem upah borong mutlak dilaksanakan, dan hanya berkomunikasi dengan
coordinator pekerja. Dengan demikian, semua permasalahan ada di kelompok
pekerja tanpa melibatkan subkontraktor.
T-146 sampai T-149 Dusun Napal sudah mulai persiapan dengan berkoordinasi
dengan penduduk local. Beberapa hal yang dijajaki dan dipersiapkan antara lain :
kompensasi timbunan untuk jalan masuk, xalon pekerja dan system upahnya,
kemungkinan masyarakat untuk supplay material local dll.
T-152 ada 2 kaki tower masuk dalam lahan warga lain
3. PERTEMUAN DAN KONSULTASI SUB KONTRAKTOR ETC

itu Hendrik dkk – subkontraktor ETC dan konsultan (Ari Hariadi – Social and
resettlement, Abd Mukti – Structur Eng dan Freden – Inspector pack-3). Pertemuan
dimaksudkan sebagai konsultansi dan informasi progress rutin.
Beberapa hal yang dikemukakan sub-kontraktor antara lain:
T-104; T-110; T-116; sudah siap cor, namun terkendala beberapa hal seperti tenaga
kerja local yang ingin ikut kerja dengan system upah harian; harga lansir/angkut
matrial yang terlalu tinggi dll. Yang sudah ada titik terang di T-104 mempekerjakan
tenaga local 4-5 orang secara bergantian yang diatur oleh mereka
T-100; T-107;T-118 – T-119 siap erection, namun sebagian masih ada halangan
(dipagar) oleh warga yang ingin kerja dengan jumlah, pola kerja, system upah yang
ditentukan warga sendiri. Pada T-119 sebenarnya sudah ada matrial erection di
lokasi

Page 58 of 60
Beberapa hal yang perlu dicatat dalam pertemuan itu antara lain dikemukakan
beberapa pihak:
Syanting, selaku Ketua Dewan Adat merasa kaget saat kedatangan PLN (akhir
Januari 2015) yang menanyakan kasus gangguan pada kendaraan milik PT ETC.
Untuk itu perlu dikomunikasikan pada lembaga adat setempat.
Hendrik, sebagai pelaku korban mengatakan bahwa peristuwa bermula di T-118 –
T-119 itu sudah dianggap selesai beberapa saat setelah kejadian. Semua yang
terlibat sudah saling minta maaf, pondasi selesai, namun untuk pekerjaan sejenis di
tower lain di Desa Angkaras yang dijanjikan akan dikerjakan oleh penduduk
setempat masih belum ada kesepakatan system upah harian atau borongan.
Peristiwanya bermula dari permintaan percepatan pembayaran upah (baru kerja 4
hari), karena keburuhan jelang Natal. Diakui pihaknya terlambat merespons karena
kerusakan teknis ATM. Persoalan selesai setelah mereka dibayar.
Golden, dari pihak manajemen ETC siap bekerjasama dengan warga local,
Rencana awal memang borongan, namun tidak ada kesesuaian harga. Akhirnya
disetujui harian dengan harapan bahwa warga juga tidak minta upah terlalu tinggi.
Kendalanya produktivitas kerja rendah hingga budget membengkak, apalagi saat ini
ada beberapa tower yang tidak dapat dikerjakan karena dihentikan warga.
Anirud, Tenaga kerja sering berlebih, misalnya diperlukan 3 orang yang dating
mencapai 10 orang dan semuanya harus dipekerjakan.
Victor, (bag administrasi) kendala upah harian susah “ngabsen”, sering ngatur sendiri dan minta dibayar 1 hari full tiap dating (walau hanya beberapa jam). Selain
itu sering ada kendala akses jalan masuk
Soni, pada T-120 dan T121 sangat banyak ongkos yang tidak selalu terkait teknis
pekerjaan
Simpulan:
o Pihak PLN (Wiji) meminta harus selesai dini; harus komunikasi dengan Dewan
Adat, dan coba fasilitasi kebutuhannya
o Pihak DAD siap bantu fasilitasi permasalahan, namun harus tahu sebelumnya
Pihaknya juga telah mendatangi T-118 dan T-119 yang terhenti pekerjaam, dan
dijanjikan sore ini juga mengadakan penjajagan penyelesaian.
o Tidak semua permasalahan patut mengatasnamakan adat, oleh karenanya tidak
semua denda yang mengatasnamalan adat harus dilayani
o Pihak Sub-kontraktor (Hendrik-ETC) telah diinformasikan bahwa untuk memulai
kembali pekerjaan itu harus mengadakan upacara adat cabut pagar, namun ia
menyatakan ketidaksanggupan setelah mengetahui biaya yang harus
dikeluarkan.

5. UPAYA PENYELESAIAN T-118 – T-119
Pertemuan dilaksanakan Senin, 2 Februaro
2015 mulai pk 18,00 – 20.30 di rumah Bpk Juanis – Tumenggung/Ketua Adat Dayak
Desa Angkaras Kecamatan Menyuke. Hadir dalam pertemuan itu Ketua Dewan Adat
Dayak Kec Menyuke; Tumenggung/Ketua Adar Desa Angkaras; pihak yang terlibat
(Hendrik dkk – subkontraktor ETC); Manajemen PT ETC (Golden dll); Para pekerja
;okal Desa Angkaras dan konsultan (Ari Hariadi – Social and resettlement,
Pertemuan dibuka Bpk Syanting – Ketua Dewan Adat Dayak Kec Menyuke yang
mengatakan bahwa telah mendatangi T-119 yang dipagari pemilik lahan - sebelum
pertemuan ini dilaksanakan. Diinformasikan bahwa T-119 sengaja dipagar pemilik,
karena menurut pemilik ada beberapa kesepakatan yang tidak dipatuhi kontraktor sbb:
Pekerja local dipending, karena tidak sepakat ada perubahan system kerja dari
harian jadi borongan
Kedatangan pekerja dari luar desa Angkaras, karena sebelumnya disepakati bahwa
yang bekerja di Angkaras adalah warga Angkaras juga.
Pekerjaan dapat dilanjutkan, dengan terlebih dahulu ada upacara adat mencabut
pagar Rp 25 juta.
Niat baik PT ETC dengan Temenggung Angkaras
Juanis – Temenggung Desa Angkaras: Saat sosialisasi disebutkan ada 11 titik tower
di Angkaras yang akan dikerjakan oleh warga local. Dibentuk 2 kelompok kerja @12
orang dengan upah harian @Rp 85.000. Setelah 2 minggu dating tawaran upah
borongan yang tidak disepakati warga, hingga pekerjaan dihentikan. Selanjutnya ada 2
tower (109 dan 113) dikerjakan pondasinya memakai alat berat, sedangkan beberapa
orang local dipekerjaan di lokasi lain. Karena hal itulah mungkin pemilik lahan T-119
yang sekaligus kepala tim kerja memagar lahan tower T-118.
Golden –Manajemen PT ETC: Setiap pekerjaan ada rencana kerja yang terkait waktu
dan budget. Waktu 2 minggu untuk pondasi sebuah tower dinilai tidak efektif yang
mengakibatkan meningkatnya budget dan keterlambatan kerja, oleh karenanya
manajemen menyataakan ketidaksanggupannya atas biaya adat “cabut pagar” yang mencapai Rp 25 juta untuk T-119 – karena akan berakibat pada lokasi lain dan dinilai
tidak wajar.
Syanting – Ketua DAD Kec Menyuke: Akan dilakukan upaya pendekatan kembali
pada semua pihak, karena suasana sudah tidak kondusif dan terlalu malam.

6. PERTEMUAN DENGAN KONTRAKTOR – SUB KONTRAKTOR
Pertemuan sub-kontraktor PT ETC dan PT BPS untuk sharing penyelesaian
pembangunan tower di lokasi wilayah paket 3 Bengkayang – Ngabang – Tayan.
Pertemuan dilaksanakan Senin, 2 Februaro 2015 mulai pk 22.30 – 23.30 di lobby hotel
Lala Golden. Dihadiri perwakilan manajemen ke-2 sub kontraktor tersebut dan
konsultan (Ari Hariadi – Social and resettlement). Inti pembicaraan mengenai kendala
dan upaya penyelesaian
7. KESIMPULAN & SARAN
Mayoritas pembangunan tower di wilayah paket-3 mengalami hambatan masalah
non-teknis, umumnya terkait dengan adat. Hal ini terjadi karena umumnya
kontraktor - sub kontraktor yang berasal dari luar wilayah tidak memahami
karakteristik dan adat budaya setempat. Untuk itu sebaiknya mereka diberi
pembekalan terkait adat budaya.
Pemahaman masyarakat mengenai proyek pengembangan listrik – terutama
dampak, tahapan, system kerja dll belum dipahami semua warga yang dilewati
proyek. Untuk itu kegiatan sosialisasi bukan hanya sebatas berkumpulnya
masyarakat secara formal dalam sebuah pertemuan. Media bantu sosialisasi
seperti leaflet, booklet, mass media, papan info local dll mungkin jadi salah satu
alternative.
Masih seringnya masyarakat dan pihak lain yang memanfaatkan keberadaan
proyek, sering jadi kendala bagi kontraktor menyelesaikan pekerjaan dengan baik.
Pendekatan dan pelibatan masyarakat local yang optimal dengan aplikasi
pemahaman adat budaya setempat akan jadi kerjasama yang saling
menguntungkan (simbiose mutualistis).
