 PDF |
ABSTRACT This study aims to map the socio-economic conditions of the population of the 10-15 km radius area from the PLTN site point in Gosong Beach, Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan Province. This radius was chosen because it is included in the Urgent Protective action planning Zone (UPZ) area. The data collection method was carried out using the census method. This is to collect all the community's population, social and economic information in the research area. The research objects totaled 5,017 family heads and 15 Village Heads in the 10-15km radius area from the NPP site. The total population data collected was 18,690 people. The mapping results show that the 10-15 km radius area is 179.88 km2, and the population density is 104 people/km2. The densest population is in the northeast direction, accounting for 36.2% of the total population. Population characteristics: 67.8% of the population is more than 20 years old, males outnumber females in 9 villages, 41.8% are unemployed, 44% of the total population has a primary school degree, and 98.7% of the population has never had a severe illness. One hundred four building points can accommodate people if a nuclear emergency occurs. Increasing nuclear safety and security at a radius of 10-15 km from the point of the nuclear power plant can be done by increasing the population's education level, maintaining the population's health, increasing employment opportunities, and preparing good public service buildings. |
