Akibatnya program pembangunan untuk masyarakat disekitar danau itu belum dapat diwujudkan. Tulisan ini, mempelajari tingkat partisipasi pemangku kepentingan di Desa Amabaan dan Desa Bulu Hadek dalam mengembangkan dan memanfaatkan potensi kedua danau tersebut. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada bulan Nopember 2015 dengan mewawancara secara acak 20 responden di Desa Amabaan dan 20 responden di Desa Bulu Hadek.

Tingkat partisipasi masyarakat membiayaai usaha di Amabaan adalah tingkat partisipasi interaktif dan di Desa Bulu Hadek adalah tingkat partisipasi insentif. Tingkat partisipasi masyarakat dalam pemupukan modal melalui tabungan adalah tingkat partisipasi pasif. Tulisan ini merekomendasikan, untuk peningkatan pemanfaatan potensi danau perlu dilakukan intervensi pemerintah dengan membentuk pasar informal dan mengembangkan inkubator bisnis pada kedua lokasi tersebut. Dampak dari rekomendasi itu akan mendorong perubahan sosial dalam masyarakat, sehingga dapat membuat partisipasi masyarakat dalam pemanfaatan potensi danau, perdagangan dan pemupukan modal menuju tingkat partisipasi mandiri. There is limited information related to Laulo and Lauik Tawar Lakes located in Simeulue. As a consequences, the economic development program for the community cannot be appropriately implemented. This paper aims to investigate the level of participation among stakeholders in the community of Amabaan and Bulu Hadek Villages. Data was collected in November 2015 by interviewing 20 respondents in both villages randomly. The second data collection was conducted in October 2016 by discussing with the local public figures. The results showed that the community has not reached independent level in utilizing the lakes potency. The level of traders’ participation only reached the informative participation and the interactive participation in Bulu Hadek Village and Amabaan Village repectively. The level of participation in community in funding the business in Amabaan and Bulu Hadek Village are interactive and incentive, respectively. The level of participation by community on capital formation by savings is passive. The government intervention needed to increase participation level, such as creating informal market or market day (farmers market) and creating business incubator on both locations. Those activities will encourage social change to make the community participate in utilizing lake potency, trade, and capital growth through independent level of participation.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) offers a massive platform for China and Pakistan to promote regional connectivity, trade growth, and infrastructure development. Pakistan views CPEC not only as an infrastructure and economic development program as well as a key initiative with wide-ranging implications for the country’s domestic economy and social makeup, but also a potential “game changer” in the regional situation. However, this project also faces grave internal and external challenges, such as route controversy, militancy, religious extremism, competing narratives, media propaganda, debt-trap accusation, and synergy of institutions. To make CPEC a sustainable project that benefits Pakistan and the whole of South Asia in the long run, both the Chinese and Pakistani governments need to address these challenges through greater transparency of the CPEC projects, as well as more consultation with all stakeholders involved, so as to ease their concerns about the profound implications of the grand project.
