Abstract

Transparency in the extractive industries has become one approach to mitigate resource-related problems. However, many transparency policies have failed to consider the local contexts where extraction activities occur and conditions that affect local citizens, limiting policies’ societal and governance impacts on the ground. Using the case of resource revenue redistribution implemented in the oil-rich Pelalawan District, Indonesia, we assess what elements exist in places of extraction that may shape citizens’ ways of making sense of oil revenue management and implications for the design and implementation of transparency-related policy for accountable natural resources revenue management. Drawing on the conception of place, we found that social identities and elements of location, locale, and sense of place characterize citizens’ views of oil extraction and local revenue management. In our case, living in closer distance to extraction sites does not determine citizens’ views and informational needs concerning the extractive industries and revenue management. We suggest that unfolding transparency's transformative process requires understanding the physical and non-physical elements of a place (of extraction). Further, by focusing on extractive industries’ influences on the spatial configurations of citizens’ everyday lives, the development of transparency policy can promote relevant and tangible societal and governance impacts on the ground.

了解地方在当地采掘业透明度中的作用:印度尼西亚石油资源丰富地区的证据
采掘业的透明度已成为缓解资源相关问题的一种方法。然而,许多透明度政策都没有考虑到采掘活动发生的当地环境以及影响当地公民的条件,从而限制了政策对当地社会和治理的影响。通过印尼石油资源丰富的佩拉拉万地区实施的资源收入再分配案例,我们评估了开采地存在哪些因素,这些因素可能会影响公民对石油收入管理的理解方式,以及对设计和实施与透明度相关的自然资源收入问责管理政策的影响。根据 "地方 "的概念,我们发现,社会身份以及地点、地域和地方感等要素决定了公民对石油开采和地方收入管理的看法。在我们的案例中,居住地距离开采地较近并不能决定公民对采掘业和收入管理的看法和信息需求。我们认为,要展开透明度的转变过程,就必须了解(开采地)的物理和非物理要素。此外,通过关注采掘业对公民日常生活空间结构的影响,透明度政策的制定可以促进在当地产生相关的、切实的社会和治理影响。
