The massive expansion of oil palm plantations has social, economic and environmental impacts. One of the social impacts caused by the expansion of palm oil plantations is social conflict, so the purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the relationship between expansion and conflict in oil palm plantations in Terantang Manuk Village, Pelalawan-Riau. Palm oil plantation expansion is one of the factors for the emergence of social conflicts in rural areas. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with the determination of the informants using purposive sampling technique. There were 16 informants who were interviewed, consisting of the village head, hamlet head, customary chairperson (ninik mamak), community leaders, chairperson of Cooperative Terantang Jaya Mandiri (TJM), leader of youth organization, and leader of college student organization. Secondary data quoted from archives of public correspondence, court decisions, and information from the mass media.

A series of factors affect the social perception of hazards in a rural context. This article analyzes how weather conditions influence farmers’ perceptions of natural hazards. In order to understand the relationship between time of year/season and farmers’ concerns about hazards, this study was undertaken. The methodology was based on surveys done to obtain a base-collection of primary data, as well as a meteorological and production analysis using secondary data. A case study of small coffee farms was carried out in a Brazilian municipality with questionnaires applied during the dry season in 2016 and the rainy season in 2017. The results indicate that drought is the main hazard identified by farmers in both weather seasons. Although there were some changes in perceptions observed, the ranking order of the main hazards did not change over the dry and rainy weather seasons.

Oil palm plantations contribute to job creation and community welfare. Nevertheless, this commodity is still experiencing business sustainability problems among smallholders in Indonesia Certification Palm Oil (ISPO). This research studies the existing conditions of ISPO certified smallholders and has not been authenticated based on economic and social characteristics. The research was conducted in Batanghari Regency with the use of primary and secondary data. The result showed that the social aspects of smallholders who have ISPO certified are average in the productive age range. However, there are no differences in education at the primary level. As for the number of family members, smallholders who are certified than uncertified have a more significant number of family members. The farming experience of certified smallholders is lower than that of non-certified, related to the age of the crop owned to motivate and carry out sustainable agricultural practices. While from the economic aspect, based on the primary and other search points, the average number for certified is more concentrated with their palm oil cultivation by 73.86 percent than non-certified with diverse business activities. There are variations in the social and economic characteristics of certified and uncertified oil palm farmers. Good agricultural practices following the norms are necessary to ensure the sustainability of oil palm cultivation. In the future, smallholders are expected to encourage improved farming practices and improve their livelihood assets

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the most abundant waste produced from palm oil mills. POME waste products from palm oil mills can pollute the surrounding environment. The main objective of this study was to determine the use of POME on soil fertility and increase the growth of oil palm plants and minimize negative impacts on the environment. The results of the research obtained are a combination of primary data (results of analysis carried out in oil palm plantations owned by PT PMP, Maybrat Regency before the POME application) and secondary data (results of analysis carried out at Angsana Estate oil palm plantations, South Kalimantan after POME  application). The results obtained indicate that generally after the application of POME to the land will increase the value of the bulk density and decrease the value of soil porosity and soil permeability. There was a decrease in the percentage of soil porosity in the application area (LA, 28.75% and Flatbed, 23.47%) compared to without application (LK, 36.83%) in the soil depth up to 30 cm. On soils with a deeper depth (30-60 cm) the percent of land subsidence is almost the same as at a depth of 30 cm. Conversely, the addition of POME in the land application (LA) had an impact on the increase in bulk density (1.81 g / cm3) and soil permeability (4.16 cm / hour) compared without POME (LK) (1.48 g / cm3 and 4.08 cm / hour) for soil samples to a depth of 30 cm. The POME application increases the availability of organic matter (C-organic and nitrogen) in the surface soils. The highest P-available values ​​are seen at a depth of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm in the flatbed. Also, POME  on oil palm land tends to increase nutrient content in oil palm leaves compared to control land (without POME).
