Dampak Pembangunan Pelabuhan Internasional Kijing terhadap Aktivitas Masyarakat di Desa Sungai Kunyit Laut

Abstrak

Large-scale port construction in coastral areas changes land use and the livelihoods of surrounding communities, yet studies that spatially link land use change to changes in community activities remain limited. This study aims to analyze the impact of the construction of Kijing International Port on community activities in Sungai Kunyit Laut Village. The research employed a remote sensing method based on Quickbird imagery of 2016 and 2021 with field accuracy assessment, and a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings reveal a significant land use change between 2016 and 2021, with approximately 30.14 hectares (57.61%) of the observed area converted into port infrastructure. Agricultural land decreased from 19.66 hectares to 3.13 hectares, and forest area declined from 22.27 hectares to 10.18 hectares. The port development shifted community activities from primary agrarian-maritime livelihoods toward informal services and accommodation. Positively, it boosted the local economy through the emergence of businesses such as restaurants, boarding houses, and rentals. Negatively, the limited involvement of local labor during construction led to job losses for some residents. These results demonstrate that large-scale infrastructure projects can significantly influence local community activities.
