Connecting Local Assets and Livelihoods: An Integrated Community Development Model Through the KATASIK Ar-Razaq CSR Program of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Fuel Terminal Tasikmalaya, Indonesia

Abstract

Community development in urban and peri-urban areas requires approaches that can connect existing local assets with livelihood opportunities and community capacity. In many communities, tourism, agriculture, fisheries, and livestock activities exist simultaneously but are not yet sufficiently integrated to generate broader and sustainable local benefits. This study examines how the KATASIK Ar-Razaq Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Fuel Terminal Tasikmalaya facilitates the integration of local assets and livelihoods as an approach to community development in Sukanagara Village, Tasikmalaya, Indonesia. A qualitative case study approach was employed to examine program implementation, community participation, local asset utilization, economic activities, institutional development, and stakeholder collaboration. Data were collected through interviews, Focus Group Discussions, field observations, and program documentation. The data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, thematic analysis, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that KATASIK Ar-Razaq has developed an integrated community development process by connecting water-based tourism with agriculture, fisheries, livestock, local product processing, renewable energy, and supporting infrastructure. The program has strengthened community participation and institutional capacity through local community organizations, capacity-building activities, product development, and stakeholder collaboration. Local agricultural and fishery resources have also been transformed into value-added products, creating opportunities for broader economic participation. The findings further demonstrate that collaboration among the company, community organizations, local government, youth, and supporting partners contributes to the development and management of local resources. Rather than functioning solely as a provider of physical assistance, the CSR intervention facilitates the mobilization of existing community assets into interconnected productive, social, and tourism activities. The case highlights the importance of integrating local assets, livelihoods, community institutions, and multi-stakeholder collaboration in developing CSR-oriented community development initiatives.
