Abstract
Kendal Industrial Park (KIP) is a bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Singapore. The cooperation is expected to be the driving force of the Indonesian economy, without prejudice to the economic impacts of surrounding communities. This study aims to analyze the impact of the park on changes society welfare. This type of research is qualitative research, by case study approach, with data source from community, government and manager through purposive sampling method. The analysis result show that KIP does not have a significant impact on changes in livelihoods, because there are still many companies that have not yet operated and many companies that are under construction. So the agricultural sector still dominates the livelihoods of population. Changes in income as a result of the development industrial estates bring different effects to the community. People who feel the positive impact of livelihood changes are those who can work at KIP. However, the people who are still in agricultural sector do not feel a change of their income. The impact of KIP development cannot be enjoyed by the community so far, synergistic steps are needed between the government, KIP and community, so can integrate well in order to achieve the success of regional development.
