Gerakan Sosial Masyarakat Pluit Putri Jakarta Utara (Studi Kasus: Penolakan Rencana Pembangunan Sekolah Bina Tunas Bangsa)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the background of the people of Pluit Putri against the construction of the BTB School, the dynamics of the community's social movements in fighting for their interests, and the influence of social movements on school development plans. PT. Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) as a Regional Owned Enterprise of DKI Jakarta Province, through its subsidiary PT. Jakarta Utility Propertindo (JUP) in 2019, announced a collaboration with Bina Tunas Bangsa School (BTB School) to build a school building around Pluit Putri housing estate. This then received a rejection response from the surrounding community who were members of the Pluit Putri Community Forum. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with Pichardo's new social movement theory and McAdam's theory of social movement dynamics. The results of the study, firstly, the community refused, because they felt they were not involved in the development carried out in the middle of their housing, both during the development plan and changes in the spatial zoning of some land, and it was predicted that the presence of a school in the middle of the housing would cause congestion and noise. Second, the Pluit Putri social movement was carried out through hearings with the DKI Jakarta DPRD, demonstrations, PTUN, administrative processes, social media and mass media. Third, residents continue to urge that their refusal can affect development plans, in order to slow down the construction of schools that have been informed since 2019, so that school construction has not been completed until now.
