This research aims to analyze the role and impact of PT Batujaya Bersama Sejahtera (PT BBS) on the socio-economic conditions of the community in Walandano Village, Balaesang Tanjung District. The background of this study is driven by the massive expansion of the mining industry in Central Sulawesi, which triggers a structural shift from traditional agriculture to an industrial economy. This study employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that PT BBS plays a significant role in local economic development by providing employment opportunities, increasing household income, and improving public infrastructure such as roads and jetties. However, the study also identifies social disruptions, including public protests regarding land issues and environmental concerns like dust and noise pollution. The implications of this research suggest that the company must strengthen its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs by focusing on sustainable community empowerment and more transparent communication to mitigate social risks. These findings contribute to the literature on regional economic development and social change in coastal mining areas.

Sustainable tourism village development requires effective multi-party collaboration between government, private sector, and communities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Collaborative Governance in the Bakti BCA Program as a reference for accelerating village tourism in Tuban Regency. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis at four assisted locations namely Bektiharjo Tourism Village, Kelapa Beach, Geger Tourism Village, and Sowan Beach. The results showed that the Bakti BCA Program has successfully implemented Collaborative Governance principles through inclusive multi-stakeholder involvement, formal and structured collaboration processes, consensus-based decision making, and shared value creation. The program had a significant positive impact with a 428% increase in total tourist visits, 559% growth in MSMEs, and 156% increase in community income during the 2021-2024 period. The collaboration between PT Bank Central Asia Tbk, Tuban Regency Government, and local communities can serve as a reference model for sustainable tourism village development in other regions with strengthening self-reliance strategies for long-term sustainability.
