STRATEGI ADAPTIF WARGA DESA PUNCAK HARAPAN, TERHADAP KEHADIRAN TAMBANG BATU BARA

Abstrak

This study aims to analyse the adaptive strategies of the community of Puncak Harapan Village in responding to the presence of coal mining and the socio-economic changes it generates. Using a qualitative approach and Alfred Schutz’s phenomenological perspective, this research explores the subjective meanings, everyday experiences, and action patterns through which the community interprets and responds to change. The findings reveal that residents develop adaptive strategies encompassing economic adaptation through occupational transitions from farming to entrepreneurship and private-sector employment; social adaptation through strengthened solidarity and women’s group participation; and environmental adaptation through adjustments in daily practices. These adaptive patterns evolve into a recurring cycle of impact exposure, meaning assessment, and adaptive action, which subsequently form a continuous adaptive process involving change identification, opportunity utilisation, strategy implementation, and evaluation. Overall, the study shows that community adaptation is not merely a practical response but a product of collective meaning-making that enables residents to transform challenges into opportunities, particularly through CSR-supported microenterprises and formal employment in the mining sector.
