Corporate Social Responsibility, Empowerment, CommunityAbstract
Underutilized peatland potential and the recurring threat of land fires in Kubu Raya Regency have underscored the need for community-based solutions, leading to the initiation of the Tandu Raya program with PT Pertamina Patra Niaga.. This study employed Participatory Action Research (PAR), which emphasized active collaboration between researchers and local communities to integrate research with field practices. The program was initiated in response to the underutilized potential of peatlands in Kuala Dua Village, Kubu Raya District, West Kalimantan. As a result, unproductive peatlands had created socio-economic and environmental challenges for the community. This program, which targeted disaster-prone communities, was designed to strengthen their resilience in facing forest and land fires. By focusing on organic-based horticultural farming in peatland areas, it led to positive social, economic, and environmental outcomes. The implementation of organic farming was carried out through land clearing, planting preparation, cultivation, and harvesting. As part of these practices, fertilization was based exclusively on environmentally friendly organic fertilizers, which were collectively produced by the Berkah Pelopor Petani Gambut group. The findings highlight the role of CSR initiatives in promoting sustainable peatland management and community resilience.
