Abstract

The vision of the community around geothermal power plants and the development of the power plants should be based on sustainable development principles, without jeopardizing the quality of life and justice for communities surrounding the power plant. This research aims to: (i) identify issues that arise as an result of the development of geothermal power plants in rural Tompaso, and (ii) find solutions to the issues to minimize the conflicts that arises from further geothermal power plant development in rural Tompaso and its surroundings. This study is based on the competitive intelligence research method. The results show that the development of geothermal power plants in Tompaso has a negative impact on the natural and social environment. The technical solutions offered include: (i) bioremediation by cultivating plants that absorb arsenic; (ii) biosulfurization and desulfurization for reducing air pollution, especially sulfur; (iii ) floods and extreme drought managed by improving infrastructure and reforestation; (iv) social conflicts (land acquisition, working days, labor recruitment and settlement security) are solved by intensifying program dissemination to the community and involving local communities in decision making. The recommended policy provides incentives to the local community through strategic programs for the development of human and natural resources.
