Abstract

Saumlaki terletak di Kabupaten Maluku Tenggara Barat. Saumlaki memiliki Blok Masela yang merupakan penghasil gas terbesar di Indonesia. Eksplorasi gas alam di Saumlaki dilakukan secara besar-besaran dengan padat modal, penuh risiko, dan menggunakan teknologi canggih. Eksplorasi tersebut membawa dampak positif dan negatif pada masyarakat Saumlaki. Dari segi social community yang dimiliki masyarakat Saumlaki, kegiatan eksplorasi gas alam ini berkontribusi terhadap social capital di antaranya natural capital, human capital, dan produced economic capital. Dari aspek produced economic capital, eksplorasi ini berkontribusi terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat melalui berbagai kegiatan. Dari segi human capital, adanya eksplorasi ini dapat meningkatkan kemampuan masyarakat terutama pada aspek pendidikan dan komunikasi. Selain itu, eksplorasi gas alam ini pun berdampak terhadap natural capital terutama pada energi gas alam serta perkembangan flora dan fauna. Hal lain yang tidak dapat dipungkiri dari kegiatan eksplorasi ini adalah dampak patologi sosial. Mengingat dalam kegiatan eksplorasi tersebut banyak melibatkan tenaga kerja yang berasal dari dalam dan luar negeri, tentu saja para tenaga kerja tersebut akan membawa karakter dan budaya yang berbeda dengan masyarakat Saumlaki.Kata kunci: community social, natural capital, human capital, produced economic capita, patologi sosialSaumlaki is located in West Southeast Maluku District.
