Potential impacts of dam construction on environment, society and economy based on community perceptions

Dam construction is one of the climate change adaptation strategies. Numerous studies on community perceptions related to the impacts of the dam after construction have been conducted. However, research on community perceptions towards the potential impacts of the dam before construction is limited. Accordingly, this research aimed to observe community perceptions towards potential impacts of the Budong-Budong dam construction on the environment, society, and economy. Data were collected in November 2020 in Salulekbo village, Topoyo district, Central Mamuju regency. This research used a qualitative approach. The data were collected through in-depth interviews using questionnaires with 26 respondents. The findings showed that 19 respondents (76% of total respondents) stated that dam construction will cause negative impacts on the environment, such as flooding downstream (if the construction failed) and landslides. On the social aspect, dam construction can bring both positive and negative impacts for the village, such as community displacement and social bond weakness. Furthermore, on the economic aspect, 21 out of 26 respondents argued that dam construction will affect the community’s economy negatively in the form of income reduction (76%) and cost for buying a piece of land (4%). This research hopefully can be a guide to secure the sustainable livelihood of the local community after dam development by providing resettlement areas, job opportunities, capacity building and community assistance, and socializing related policies and regulations.
