Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
1.1 Background
Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE), a subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero), was established in 2006 as
mandated by the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to develop 15 Geothermal Business Working Areas in
Indonesia.
Geothermal power is a clean and efficient alternative for diversifying Indonesia’s electricity generation mix.
Indonesia has the world’s largest geothermal potential that could fuel about 27,000 MW of generation
capacity. However, the resource makes up only 3.2 percent of the present generation capacity.
The GoI has requested a loan from the World Bank (WB) to support the development of up to 370 MW of
capacity. The designated implementing agency is PGE who has requested the WB to assist with finance
investment in two sites at an advanced stage of preparation: Ulubelu Units 3&4 in Lampung Province,
Sumatra, and Lahendong Units 5&6 in North Sulawesi
The development objective of the proposed WB investment is to increase the utilisation of clean
geothermal based electricity in order to reduce pollution and improve the environment. This will be
achieved through: a) development of geothermal power generation capacity in fields under the control of
PGE, and b) strengthening the institutional capabilities of the company through technical assistance and
capacity building so that PGE can contribute to sector development on a sustained basis.
The bulk of project investment will be devoted to establishing up to 150 MW of power generation capacity
(Ulubelu Units 3&4 and Lahendong Units 5&6) which will include the confirmation of resources, production
drilling, development of the steam gathering systems, and the construction of the power plants. Upon
completion, PGE will be in a position to sell geothermal power into the national electricity grid in order to
meet growing electricity demand in an environmentally friendly manner.
Pertamina has been working in Ulubelu since the mid 1990s undertaking preliminary exploration surveys.
Since the establishment of PGE in 2006 as a subsidiary of Pertamina, PGE progressed with developing a
number of clusters, drilling wells and preparing the roads and other infrastructure needed to start
production. Lahendong Units 5&6 is actually located on the Tompaso field which is located near PGE’s
existing Lahendong field in operation since 2000. Work in the Tompaso field (registered as Lahendong
Units 5&6) started in 2007, resulting in two production clusters and one reinjection cluster.
1.2 World Bank Operational Policy 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement)
Land for all facilities will be, or has been acquired by PGE. Since PGE is legally registered as a private
company, it acquires land through direct negotiations, based on the principle of willing buyer-willing seller.
However, PGE can request expropriation if negotiations fail and if no viable alternative siting exists.
Therefore, the World Bank Operational Policy (OP) 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement) would be triggered, for
which PGE has prepared this Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework, which describes in
detail PGE’s land acquisition procedures as well as steps that will be taken under expropriation. OP 4.12
includes safeguards to address and mitigate against impoverishment risks associated with any land
acquisition or involuntary resettlement under development projects.
1. Introduction
![Page 9: PGE Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework REV A](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062613/6156f85aa097e25c764f89ef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

2
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
The primary objective of this Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework and Note is to provide
details of the land acquisition procedures employed by PGE on both project sites to date, as well as an
indication as to the expected land acquisition required for the remainder of the Project. This demonstrates
that PGE practices follow the principle of willing buyer-willing seller. A secondary objective is to provide
detailed procedures that will be applied if PGE requests the expropriation of any land, as well as
requirements for reporting to the World Bank to ensure and demonstrate compliance with OP 4.12.
Although this policy framework is intended to provide a framework for land acquisition and resettlement
impacts associated with these specific projects, it is also intended to provide an overarching framework for
land acquisition relevant to any future project that PGE pursues.
Resettlement in this document refers to the direct economic and social impacts that are caused by the
involuntary taking of land which results in relocation or loss of shelter, loss of assets or access to assets, or
loss of income sources or means of livelihood whether or not the affected persons must move to another
location. The Bank policy also refers to the involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and
protected areas resulting in adverse impact on the livelihoods of the displaced persons.
1.3 Report Structure
PGE has prepared this Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework (LARPF) as a means to
demonstrate compliance with both national laws and regulations and international best practice as
exemplified by WB OP 4.12. The document consists of two main sections:
1. Firstly, an outline of PGE’s Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework which includes
acquisition principles and corporate and field-level institutional and management arrangements by PGE
Land Acquisition Teams. A detailed description of PGE’s actual approach to land acquisition through
negotiated settlement is provided. In addition, by law PGE may request the Government to expropriate
land through eminent domain1 (under the Presidential Regulation, Perpres 65/2006) as a last resort.
The LARPF also includes procedures in order to ensure compliance with WB OP 4.12.
2. Secondly, a description of land acquisition and asset compensation undertaken to date as well as the
land acquisition anticipated to complete Ulubelu Units 3&4 and Lahendong Units 5&6 sites.
Additionally, a comparison of the variation in prices paid for land and trees/crops across time and
between locations is provided.
The document is based upon known information at the time of writing and is intended to be a live document
that can be updated and modified to reflect changes in law and/or acquisition status.
1.4 Resettlement Policy Framework – WB OP 4.12
This Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework corresponds with the requirements of a
Resettlement Policy Framework, the components of which are described in WB OP 4.12 Annex A
(paragraphs 23 – 25) and are shown below:
_________________________
1 Eminent domain is the right of the state to acquire land, using its sovereign power, for public purposes. National law establishes
which public agencies have the prerogative to exercise eminent domain.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
2.1 PGE’s Land Acquisition Approach and the Legal Requirements
As a subsidiary of the state owned oil company PT Pertamina (Persero), PGE is legally registered as a
private company in accordance with the Law and Human Rights Ministerial Decree Number W7-00089
HT.01.01-TH. 2007, Amendment Number: AHU-74736.AH.01.02.Tahun 2008.
PGE acquires land through direct negotiations, based on the principle of ‘willing buyer-willing seller’. By
law, PGE also has the option to acquire land under the rubric of public interest, utilising the principle of
eminent domain according to the provisions of the presidential decree Perpres 65/2006. The use of
Perpres 65/2006 has a controversial history in Indonesia resulting in project affected persons (PAPs)
refusing to relocate and riots. It is not a popular regulation amongst public officials or infrastructure
developers, who tend to avoid its use where possible.
Perpres 65/2006 is expected to be replaced by a national law on Land Acquisition in the Public Interest
which is currently being drafted and championed by the President2. This law, whilst still specifying
procedures for use of eminent domain, is expected to be more participatory than Perpres 65/2006 and
more aligned with best practice for land expropriation, as exemplified in WB OP 4.12.
PGE commits to employing expropriation and the use of the principle of eminent domain only as a last
resort in the unlikely event of failure to negotiate a settlement and to identify a viable alternative site. If
PGE decides to exercise this right, the approach used will be fully compliant with provisions of the
prevailing law on Land Acquisition in the Public Interest and adjusted to ensure compliance with World
Bank OP 4.12. This approach is described in more detail below.
2.2 PGE’s Land Acquisition Principles
As stated in their internal policy document on ‘Land Acquisition for Geothermal Exploration and
Exploitation’ (No. B-001/PGE500/2008-S0), which this documents complements, PGE adopts the following
principles which are consistent with international best practice when undertaking land acquisition:
a. PGE will ensure that compensation is paid based on replacement value which takes into account
prevalent market prices as determined through consultation with affected persons (owners) and
agreement with village heads along with transaction costs to enable all affected land owners to
replace their affected assets.
b. PGE will acquire land that is free of any encumbrances and to the extent possible does not affect
any households other than the land owners. Where this is not possible, land users, whether titled or
not, will be compensated, especially leaseholders and shareholders.
c. Land acquisition for development shall involve public participation commencing from the planning
stage of development through to execution and the post-acquisition of land stage – all negotiations
with the land owners and users will be carried out collectively in an accessible location, and in the
presence of village heads and community leaders, in an open and consultative manner without any
coercion and with sufficient time for consideration of offers.
d. Owners are free to refuse to sell their land or to refuse PGE’s offers. If negotiations fail, an
alternative site is selected and the process begins again.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
e. When negotiations are completed, inventories of affected land and other fixed assets are prepared in
consultation with affected land owners and a copy of the same is to be given to each land owner.
f. The negotiated amount will be paid within one month after all necessary documents required for the
land acquisition process have been completed by the land owners.
g. All market analysis, negotiation and other consultation proceedings will be documented and the
agreement for sale and purchase of land will be signed by the negotiating parties in the presence of
PPAT (Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah) and the village head or community leaders.
h. In the unlikely case where expropriation is pursued, it will be done in such a way to ensure that the
PAPs’ pre-project standard of living is improved and at a minimum restored.
i. Perpres 65/2006 or the anticipated new law on Land Acquisition in the Public Interest (‘eminent
domain’) will not be used for any land acquisition except in cases where direct negotiations with the
land owners on a ‘willing buyer-willing seller’ basis fails AND, alternative sites cannot be identified
for technical reasons without resulting in significant project component cost increases.
This process aims to be transparent, consultative, fair, and open.
2.3 PGE’s Institutional Management of Land Acquisition
At the corporate level, land acquisition for geothermal projects is headed by the Vice President of Support
Services at PGE3, who is responsible for guiding the Land Acquisition Teams (LAT) that are established for
each project. Each LAT is comprised of staff with the required skills representing the following
departments: Legal, Finance, Planning and Management; plus the Project Manager or General Manager
for each respective geothermal field. In practice, the Project Manager or General Manager will be assisted
by other staff such as Public Relations Officers with good communication skills, who are respected and
sought out by local residents and officials in relation to land acquisition and compensation.
In addition to the LAT, a Corporate Secretary helps coordinate between different PGE departments and
follows-up on the decisions taken in meetings. The roles and responsibilities of each member of the LAT
are clearly defined in the Pertamina’s internal order Prin-1062/PGE000/2007-S8, particularly regarding
decision-making and documentation.
The project LAT working in the field reports back to the corporate level at two points in the process, and
possibly a third as well:
a. First, after completing the topographical survey and market research, and reaching the decision that
local people are amenable to selling, the team reports on the process and proposes compensation
levels which are reviewed and endorsed by the corporate level. At this time, funds to make
payments should be ring fenced.
b. Second, if local owners insist on prices significantly higher than the range agreed by the corporate
team, the project team refers to the corporate level for guidance.
c. Finally, once negotiations are concluded and final agreements are signed by individual owners, the
corporate level arranges budget approval to release funds for payment.
In the highly unlikely event that eminent domain is sought and expropriation is followed, PGE personnel will
participate in the District Land Acquisition Committee (DLAC) in accordance with Perpres 65/2006 as
described below (see Section 2.5).

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
2.4 Negotiated Settlement Land Acquisition Procedure
The Project LAT goes through at least twelve distinct steps in the negotiated settlement land acquisition
process. They are described below.
2.4.1 Site Selection
Based on technical investigations, PGE selects a potential site and prepares preliminary designs that
indicate the likely location of platforms (clusters), roads, and other major characteristics. Meetings are held
with kecamatan (sub-district) and village officials to discuss preliminary designs and potential sites.
2.4.2 Initial Socialization (consultation)
Kecamatan and village officials conduct village level meetings to acquaint villagers with the nature of the
investment and the implications of construction for land acquisition, traffic, and other factors and discuss
potential benefits and impacts. These public information and dissemination meetings are generally held in
all villages in the kecamatan, beyond the immediate range of impact.
2.4.3 Topographical Survey
The project carries out a detailed topographical survey and mapping of the project area to pinpoint cluster
sites, roads, and other elements. An inventory of typical above-ground assets (crops, trees) is mapped on
cadastral maps to identify affected households.
2.4.4 Market Analysis
While the land survey and inventory are underway, PGE also obtains information on prevalent market
prices for the types of land, structures, trees and crops in the area. These prices are established though
consultation and agreement with village heads on both formal and informal (undocumented) market
transactions. Information on NJOP prices for land is collected from the village office. Information on
prevalent market prices is obtained by gathering information on both formal and informal (undocumented)
market transactions from discussions with local officials such as village heads.
2.4.5 Consultation with Affected Households
Staff approach members of affected households to discuss their willingness to sell the land required,
acquaint them with steps in the purchase process and, if the owners are amenable, prepare them for the
inventory and negotiations. Details of the grievance mechanism should also be made available to PAPs at
this point. Once the formal Grievance Mechanism is adopted, an outline of it will be distributed in each
discussion.
2.4.6 Submission of Land Acquisition Plan
Staff compile topographical, market and landholding data together with inventory estimates and submit a
report to the corporate office that proposes compensation levels and seeks endorsement.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
2.4.7 Negotiations
Once the corporate office grants clearance of the Land Acquisition Plan, which should take approximately
one week, PGE staff start contacting land owners, individually and in groups to organize public meetings
prior to negotiations. It may take from one to three weeks to arrange public meetings, depending on how
difficult it is to contact all the land owners. The lag time between the first contact and the meeting provides
land owners with the opportunity to obtain information on prices and prepare themselves for negotiations.
All negotiations with the land owners are carried out collectively, and in the presence of village heads and
community leaders, in an open and consultative manner without coercion.
PGE starts negotiation sessions by providing information about the assets likely to be acquired for the
Project and then requests land owners for their asking prices for land per square metre. PGE then reviews
the offers and makes a counter offer, usually corresponding to the lowest requested price levels. Owners
are invited to discuss the offer among themselves and the next meeting is convened when owners are
ready for further discussion. Negotiation usually takes two to five rounds depending on the complexity of
the issues.
Once the land price is set, the unit price of other assets is also negotiated and these discussions are
generally easier to conclude. Once PGE and the owners agree on prices of both land and other assets and
negotiations are concluded, minutes of negotiations are prepared and signed by project staff, the village
head and other community leaders. The list of participants is signed by all present as confirmation of their
concurrence with the agreed prices.
In the event that the asking prices by land owners is significantly higher than the range provided by the
LAT, the matter is referred back to the Corporate LAT for further guidance and possible approval of
alternate rates. Ultimately, owners are free to decline the offer made by PGE and to decline to sell their
land for the Project.
When it is clear that land owners decide to not sell their land to PGE either due to disagreement over the
rates or for other personal reasons, PGE will make efforts to change the project design and find alternative
land parcels that meet project needs. Geothermal development normally requires several clusters of land
parcels of varying sizes often at some distance from each other, instead of one contiguous large plot.
Therefore, PGE has the flexibility to revise their project designs and change the location of the land that
needs to be acquired. PGE re-located proposed Platforms A and C in Ulubelu when negotiations failed for
the original sites; and the design of one platform in Lahendong was revised to exclude one parcel when the
owner could not provide the documentation needed to conclude a transaction.
If an alternative site cannot be identified due to technical reasons that would result in significant cost over-
runs, PGE may decide to pursue expropriation and exercise ‘eminent domain’ as a last resort. Additional
steps are required to ensure expropriation is done in accordance with Indonesian law and World Bank
OP 4.12, as specified in Section 2.5 below. It should be reiterated, however, that PGE has no intention of
resorting to expropriation.
2.4.8 Inventory of Individual Household Assets
Once agreement on land and asset unit prices is reached between the PAPs and PGE, PGE staff meet
with each owner to make a thorough inventory of household assets. This includes all standing crops, trees
and structures. Prices vary according to the age and productivity of the trees. Where possible, evidence
regarding age and productivity is provided. The inventory is signed by both parties with witnesses.
![Page 16: PGE Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework REV A](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062613/6156f85aa097e25c764f89ef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
2.4.9 Individual Agreements
Based on the results of the topographical survey, the household inventory and prices established in the
common agreement, PGE drafts a separate purchase agreement with each household, clarifying the
responsibilities of each party for reaching a final settlement. Both parties sign the agreement.
2.4.10 Owners Submit Documentation
When the agreement is concluded, the owners are required to submit their land certificates as proof of
ownership to PGE to process revisions of land titles.
2.4.11 Payment by PGE
PGE is expected to pay compensation within a month of receiving the owners’ documents. It takes two or
three weeks for PGE to obtain budget approval from the corporate office and payments are usually prompt.
PGE makes payments in cash at its offices, witnessed by the head of the village. Each owner signs a
standard agreement that all payments are made and the owner has no further claims over the land and
assets sold to PGE. In addition, owners and PGE jointly sign documents to submit to the BPN to transfer
title for the land.
Villagers have the option of receiving payment in cash or direct deposit in a bank account. To ensure
women are not subjected to pressure or harassment to sign over their rights or relinquish their entitlement
no payment will be made for compensation to a female PAP to a bank account other than one that is
opened specifically for her as the sole account holder.
2.4.12 PGE Transfers Revised Letters to Owners
As the final step in the process, PGE processes the transfer of title at BPN and the Camat (sub-district)
issues a revised land letter indicating the change in land ownership. This is in effect a revised title, rather
than a new title that is issued after the transaction. The revised letter refers to the original plot and
indicates the part of the plot that has been transferred to PGE and the amount still held by the owner.
PAPs will be given one month to vacate the land or sufficient time to collect the last harvest, whichever is
the longest.
2.5 Resettlement Planning when Expropriation is Required
2.5.1 Overview
Following failure to negotiate a settlement or identify an alternative site during PGE’s Land Acquisition
Principles outlined in Section 2.2 above, PGE has the option to expropriate land using Perpres 65/2006 or
the new law on Land Acquisition in the Public Interest once it is enacted. When this occurs, PGE will notify
the Bank of its intent to expropriate land and will decide jointly on the appropriate resettlement instrument
to use. If PGE decides to request expropriation, in addition to the field steps taken under the negotiated
settlement, PGE will undertake resettlement planning and implementation in accordance with WB OP 4.12
![Page 17: PGE Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework REV A](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062613/6156f85aa097e25c764f89ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
and aligned with the prevailing laws relating to Land Acquisition in the Public Interest4. In addition, if PGE
determines in advance that a specific site is required, regardless of the outcome of negotiations, it will
notify the World Bank immediately and prepare a resettlement plan in accordance with OP 4.12, prior to
beginning negotiations.
2.5.2 Planning for Expropriation and/or Resettlement
This section outlines the preparatory stages required prior to expropriation or resettlement taking place.
These include: information about how to decide on an appropriate resettlement instrument; the process for
preparing resettlement plans; the eligibility criteria for compensation; an entitlement matrix to ensure fair
compensation for all PAPs; the institutional and legal framework; methods for the evaluation of assets; a
description of the implementation process; a grievance redress mechanism; the arrangements for funding
of resettlement; consultation mechanisms; and arrangements for monitoring of the resettlement process.
2.5.3 Resettlement Planning Instruments
Selecting an appropriate resettlement tool is important. There are two main resettlement planning
instruments for project impacts, namely an abbreviated resettlement action plan (ARAP) which is
acceptable if fewer than 200 PAPs are affected, or if more than 200 people are affected but land acquisition
is minor (10 percent or less of all productive assets of the affected households is taken) and no physical
relocation is involved. A full resettlement action plan (RAP) is required when land acquisition affects more
than 200 people, takes more than 10 percent of household productive assets, and involves physical
relocation. For both types of resettlement plan, preliminary notification that the land is needed for public
purposes will be required.
Full details on the requirements of both an ARAP and a RAP are shown in Appendix A. There are no
fundamental differences in terms of achieving objectives of equality and compensating social cost; however
there are some procedural differences between an ARAP and RAP. The RAP is more detailed and takes
longer to complete. A RAP needs to include a review of the legal and institutional framework (such as is
provided within this document) whereas an ARAP does not. An ARAP can be based on an asset census
with each PAP household while a RAP requires both an asset census and a community socio-economic
survey to provide a monitoring benchmark for understanding how PAPs’ socio-economic conditions have
changed.
The socio-economic survey generally covers one in every four households where PAPs live. It will draw
accurate information and help identify likely impacts of displacement based on a quantitative as well as
qualitative assessment. It also helps with the stakeholder analysis by identifying different categories and
groups, sectors and population involved and analysing the particular ways they are going to be affected. It
provides a useful baseline for evaluating income restoration and ensuring that PAPs are returned to at least
pre-project standards of living.
The RAP also needs to address provisional resettlement arrangements, if relevant, (which may include
transport arrangement and temporary accommodation if needed), livelihood restoration and community
access to service provision as well as land and housing provision.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
The Project Land Acquisition Team at PGE will be responsible for coordinating the production of the
appropriate resettlement planning instrument and for ensuring its implementation. The following
procedures and considerations are expected to be part of the resettlement planning and implementation
monitoring processes.
2.5.4 Managing Gender Considerations
Women have important economic roles in project areas, particularly in farming, and the quantity and quality
of water significantly affects their well-being. PGE’s sub-projects will pay particular attention to ensure
women’s needs and perspectives are addressed in entitlement packages and to ensure the impact on them
as well as vulnerable groups is monitored and evaluated. Women will be major participants in the
consultation processes to determine and negotiate for compensation entitlements and implement the
resettlement plans. Where the PAP census identifies women headed households, these will be clearly
listed as beneficiaries of compensation and rehabilitation activities. To address gender issues, the
following actions have been identified:
� Collect gender disaggregated data;
� Include female surveyors in the household survey team;
� Have women only focus group discussions; and,
� Have monitoring indicators and evaluation questions related to how women’s and other vulnerable
groups needs have been addressed in resettlement implementation.
Vulnerable groups that have been identified include the elderly, the disabled or those with long term health
problems, and those who are untitled.
2.5.5 Establishment of the District Land Acquisition Committee (DLAC)
The District Land Acquisition Committee (DLAC) will be established as stipulated by Presidential Decree
Kepres 65/2006, to manage all aspects of the expropriation process in an open, transparent and
participatory manner. The DLAC will comprise of the:
� Bupati (Head of District Administration) who will chair the DLAC;
� District administration land agency representatives (secretary);
� Project affected village head;
� PAP representatives: a minimum of two representatives - one male and one female; and a suggested
one for every fifty PAPs; and
� PGE Land Acquisition Team Leaders.
The DLAC will be responsible for overseeing all of the expropriation activities specified in detail below
including:
� Public consultation and disclosure (socialisation) with PAPs;
� Household socio-economic and asset census surveys;
� Research on the legal status of the plots of land;
� Facilitation of deliberation (musyawarah) between PGE and the PAP with regard to the type of impacts,
form of compensation, appraisal of compensation, and appointment of the appraising agency;
� Preparation and issue of official monitoring reports with regard to the payment of compensation for land,
buildings, plants, and other objects thereon and release of title to land; and
� Administration and documentation of all files on the expropriation process and provision of legalized
copies of the original documents to the district/city land office.

12
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
2.5.6 Disclosure, Consultation (Socialisation) and Deliberation (‘Musyawarah’)
The DLAC shall disclose information about the Project and land acquisition process via a public information
booklet to the PAPs and the village leader explaining the development proposal, the results of the
topographical survey, the failure of the negotiations discussed in Section 2.4.7, the reasons for pursuing
expropriation, the expropriation process moving forward, and the legal rights of the PAP under this
framework. This information will be disclosed in the appropriate local language and in non-technical terms,
taking into account literacy levels. The date of distribution of the public information booklet to PAPs shall
be the cut-off date for eligibility for entitlements under the expropriation process (see Section 2.5.10). The
booklet will contain contact information—names, addresses, phone numbers—for those who wish to raise
queries or grievances (see Section 2.5.16 below). PGE will retain documentation of the receipt of the
information by each PAP.
The DLAC together with PGE will meet with PAPs in order to disclose information about the process and to
deliberate the compensation and income restoration entitlements. This may be conducted several times as
required. In addition to the PAPs, deliberation must also involve the Appraising Agency (as discussed in
Section 2.5.7 below) to ensure exchange of accurate information from the initial stage on the appraisal of
compensation and to prevent speculation on unit prices. Efforts will be made to minimise speculation by
having a transparent and inclusive decision on land rates, by using as much concrete, recent data as
possible, and by not allowing for the implementation schedule to be delayed, therefore reducing the amount
of time available for speculation to occur. The DLAC will ensure female representation to discuss issues
with female PAPs.
2.5.7 Organising Independent Assessment
The DLAC can establish a local assessment group or acquire the services of an appraising agency that has
obtained the required license from the National Land Agency of the Republic of Indonesia to act as an
Independent Assessor. The appointment of independent assessor should be agreed in principle by the
PAPs. The appraising agency shall clearly define in writing and inform affected persons of the proposed
valuation methods prior to beginning the appraisal. Whether a local assessment group is established or an
appraising agency is used, the valuation process is to be guided by the principle that the livelihood of the
people affected by the land acquisition shall be better off or at least equal to their condition before the land
acquisition. Valuation methods need to reflect use of replacement cost as the main basis for appraisal of
physical and economic displacement.
2.5.8 Socio-economic and Asset Census of Project Affected Persons (PAPs)
For a full resettlement action plan, a socio-economic baseline measurement of the PAPs pre-project
standard of living is required. A sample of twenty-five percent of local households must be surveyed to
determine baseline household composition and socio-economic status in terms of health, education,
livelihood, income, expenditure and vulnerability to impoverishment risks.
In addition an asset census for those who will be directly affected and suffer losses must be undertaken
with one hundred percent of PAPs for both abbreviated and full resettlement action plans. Gender-
disaggregated socioeconomic and asset census information for PAPs and local households will be included
in a database for reference and livelihood/income restoration monitoring purposes, particularly for
vulnerable or severely affected PAPs (see Section 2.5.15 below).
Census information will cover, but is not limited to covering:

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
� Aggregate number of individuals and households;
� Age, gender, occupation of every individual;
� Ownership of personal property including structures, land, crops on land, other assets such as livestock,
wells, trees, fishing equipment;
� Use of public and common property including land, structures and facilities, and infrastructures; and
� Income sources including farm and natural environment-based income, off-farm labour or employment,
informal sector activities, remuneration from other family members.
During the census, detailed measurements of assets, including land plots, standing crops, in some cases
trees, structures, houses, and equipment will be taken to help value them. Sketches and photographs will
be used to record land use and assist in asset valuation.
2.5.9 Eligibility and Entitlements
Based on the results of the asset census, the entitlement package for each PAP will be prepared. The
entitlement matrix below (Table 2.1) addresses loss of agriculture, non-agricultural, commercial, residential
land, crops, trees, and commercial, residential or other structures and community infrastructure.
Temporary losses are also reflected in the entitlement matrix.
2.5.10 Eligibility Criteria
For the purposes of this framework, a PAP will include:
� any person or household adversely affected by acquisition of assets or change in use of land due to
PGE’s operations;
� any vulnerable and affected person including women, destitute, artisans, tribal communities, squatters,
and those with usufruct rights, poverty groups depending for livelihood upon the land to be acquired by
the project; and
� any other person who may prove and establish his/her right as an affected person to the satisfaction of
the PGE’s Director General of Projects.
Compensation eligibility will be limited by a cut-off date to be set for each subproject as the day of the
distribution of the PAP information booklet. PAPs who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will
not be eligible for compensation. They will be given sufficient advance notice to vacate premises and
dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation. Dismantled structures materials will not be
confiscated and ineligible PAPs will not pay any fine or suffer any sanction if completed in the requested
time period.
Those entitled to receive compensation shall be:
� Holders of titles to land whether with certificates or without certificates;
� Customary law community members whose communal land is used for development;
� Nadzir for wakaf land;
� State land users;
� Owners of buildings, plants, or other objects related thereto;
� PAPs dependent on use of affected land for their livelihoods as well as business owners or employees;
and
� Other land users who may not be living on the land but may have been using its resources and now will
suffer from restrictions on that land use.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
2.5.11 Compensation
The compensation, as in the procedures for negotiated settlement (see Section 2.4), may be in the form of:
� Replacement land (for instance where there is complete loss of a landholding, an equivalent area of
land with similar characteristics will be provided as an option to cash compensation); and/or
� Replacement shelter or structure (for instance where the main residence is lost, housing with similar
amenity will be provided as an option to cash compensation); and/or
� Money (allowances in addition to compensation for permanent losses can include cash assistance for
land preparation, transition allowances, transport allowance for shifting to a new location, and
allowances to cover repair cost of the remaining structure); and/or
� Income and livelihood restoration measures (see Section 2.5.14 below).
If land is not directly replaced, cash compensation is to be based on replacement value taking into account
current market values or productive potential, and inclusive of all administrative fees and taxes and other
transaction costs, including moving costs.
2.5.12 Determining Entitlements to Compensation
Based on the results of the asset census, the entitlement package for each PAP will be prepared. The
entitlement matrix below addresses loss of agriculture, non-agricultural, commercial, residential land, crops,
trees, and commercial, residential or other structures and community infrastructure. Temporary losses are
also reflected in the entitlement matrix. Entitlement packages are classified in terms of category of loss
rather than category of person affected as each category of person may suffer more than one loss. Table

activities related to resettlement;
� the project should secure legal title to the land for the PAPs who are resettled;
� the site boundaries and the land allocated for public service should be clearly marked, measured and
recorded;
� there should not be any natural or man made features on the site (e.g. swamps, water pipes, gullies,

2.5.14 Income and Livelihood Restoration
In some cases, income and livelihood restoration opportunities such as training and permanent
employment (minimum of three years), land preparation and access to credit may be provided in addition to
cash and land. Where PAPs need to be relocated from their homes and subsistence lifestyles were
practiced, income and livelihood restoration will be considered. It should be noted that no relocation is
anticipated at this point, thanks to the relative flexibility of PGE in terms of site locations.
2.5.15 Vulnerable / Severely Affected People’s Assistance
If the socio-economic census reveals that vulnerable, marginalised or disadvantaged people or households
– including those below the poverty line, ethnic minorities/indigenous peoples or female or disabled headed
households - are amongst the PAPs, then these individuals and groups will be consulted to determine their
development needs and priorities which will be accounted for through the compensation measures
provided to them. The same is the case for ‘severely affected’ PAPs - defined as those losing more than
10% of their productive agricultural land and unable to obtain access to alternative land.
2.5.16 Grievance Mechanism
PAPs will be informed of their land rights and the provisions in this RPF. The aim of building awareness
with the written and oral information will be to achieve clarity and avoid misinterpretation, complaints and
grievances. Care will be taken to prevent grievances rather than going through a redress process by
careful implementation, by ensuring full participation and consultation with the PAPs, and by establishing
extensive communication and coordination between the affected communities, PGE’s LAT, the DLAC and
local governments in general.
Even with precautions and care, a disagreement or dissatisfaction may emerge. To address such a
situation, for instance a PAP that is unsatisfied with the outcome of their eligibility decision or compensation
package, a grievance redress mechanism will be put in place. The main objectives of mediating conflicts
and having a grievance redress mechanism are to:
� reach mutually agreed solutions satisfactory to both the Project and the PAP;
� cut down on lengthy litigation processes ; and
� prevent delay in project implementation.
When grievances do occur, appeals are likely to focus on the following key issues: the intent to
expropriate, disputed ownership, compensation valuation. In the first instance, efforts should be made to
resolve the issue informally. Disputed ownership may be able to be resolved by consideration of additional
documentation including copies of land titles, mortgage deeds, revenue receipts or other legal tender
showing ownership of tenancy. In the case of renters of farmed or rented land, documentary evidence of
the understanding between the landowner and the renter may be available and in case of customary land
use, verification and evidence of use for land for instance through testimonies and receipts may be
possible. For proof of residence, voters list or other official records may be available.
For grievances related to the proposed compensation value, the LAT should review each case, review
these RPF guidelines especially the eligibility and entitlement matrix, and decide whether to reconfirm the
original offer or propose a revised offer. It may be necessary to establish new guidelines related to the
revised offer.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
At the outset of the expropriation process, the DLAC and PGE must prepare and disclose a grievance
mechanism to PAPs. This provides contact details of local (project level) DLAC representatives to whom
they can submit grievances regarding the expropriation process or other project associated complaints or
information requests. The contact person for Ulubelu is Mr, Anshoruddin (Address : Pekon Karang Rejo,
Ulubelu District Tanggamus, Lampung Province – Indonesia, Tel : +62 21 39833316, Email:
[email protected] or [email protected]) and the contact person for Lahendong is Mr
Remmy Basalama (Address : Jl. Raya Tomohon No. 420 Tomohon, North Sulawesi – Indonesia, Tel +62
431 351378, Email: [email protected] or [email protected]).
The DLAC will consider the grievance and issue a response within seven days. If the PAP is not happy
with the compensation outcome they must submit their grievance to the District Court no later than 14 days
after the decision. The District Court’s decision is final. PGE will log and follow up grievances, reporting
every six months to the Bank.
Further details on the Grievance Mechanism are provided in the Public Consultation and Disclosure Plan
included in the Environmental and Social Impact Assessments prepared for each site.
2.5.17 Land Possession
Payment of compensation of assets other than structures (land, crops, and trees) will need to be made at
least 15 days, and preferably 30, prior to actual possession of the space being utilised by the PAPs. In the
case of a grievance, the assessed/allocated amount of compensation will be pledged in the names of the
concerned PAPs, pending a decision. Civil works cannot commence until all compensations have been
paid and entitlements provided, with documentation of receipt by the PAPs.
2.5.18 Resettlement Budget and Financing
Each ARAP/RAP will provide a budget that includes:
� Unit compensation rates for losses and the number of units affected;
� Unit costs for relocation activities (transporting PAPs and assets, transfer fees, taxes, costs for
identifying new housing or land, temporary shelter, etc.) and number of units;
� Resettlement site preparation costs; and
� Income restoration and improvement costs including temporary income support, purchasing alternative
income generating assets, training, extension services, start up capital, etc.
PGE will pay PAPs in a timely fashion as per their procedures for paying those involved in negotiated
settlement (see Section 2.4.11 for details).
The WB requires that the full costs of involuntary resettlement activities are included in the total project
cost. Resettlement activities need not be economically viable on their own but they should be cost
effective. PAPs will not bear the resettlement costs.
2.5.19 Implementation Process
Involuntary resettlement is a sensitive process that takes time. RAPs take more time than ARAPs and both
can take several months to follow the required processes and ensure involvement of appropriate
organisations. Table 2.2 below provides the general process that each subproject should follow to address
resettlement impacts.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
2.6 Monitoring and Reporting
2.6.1 Project Documentation
To facilitate monitoring of compliance with this policy framework, PGE will prepare, maintain and make the
following documentation available to the World Bank as evidence of the negotiated settlement land
acquisition process:
� Initial site description and land acquisition plan;
� Schedule of survey, socialization activities and inventory;
� Record of receipt by PAPs of information and cut-off date manual
� Land acquisition report - submitted for corporate agreement;
� Minutes of negotiation;
� Summary compensation data - land and other assets;
� Payment date; and
� Date of transfer of revised certificates to owners.
In cases where resettlement planning is required because expropriation is pursued as a last resort, a
resettlement plan (RAP or ARAP) and reporting will be required. The following additional documentation is
relevant:
� Description of the discussions and negotiations that have taken place prior to initiating the expropriation
process and the circumstances that led to the decision to expropriate;
� Entitlement matrix;
� Any anticipated outcomes that are expected to be different than the outcomes from the standard
negotiated settlement land acquisition process;
� Identification of all PAPs (gender and age disaggregated);
� Identification of vulnerable and severely affected PAPs, and provisions to address their status.
� Record of receipt by PAPs of information and cut-off date manual
� Changes in administrative procedures, assignment of responsibility to individuals, or compensation
rates or measures that will result from expropriation;
� Official monitoring reports with regard to the payment of compensation for land, buildings, plants, and
other objects thereon and release of title to land; and
� Reports on all of the activities specified in Section 2.5 above, for example reports on socio-economic
and asset census, additional consultation, etc.
2.6.2 Monitoring and Evaluation of ARAPs and RAPs
Regular, for instance monthly, reports should track items such as:
� Information campaign and consultation with PAPs;
� Status of land acquisition and payments on land compensation;
� Compensation for affected structures and other assets;
� Relocation of PAPs;
� Payments for loss of income;
� Selection and distribution of replacement land areas;
� Income restoration activities; and
� Number and type of grievances received, how they are being addressed and when they have closed
out).

21
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
PGE will need to produce a Final Land Acquisition and Resettlement Evaluation Report within four months
of the last resettlement activities being implemented, which can be used by World Bank supervision to
review and report on resettlement completion (called a RAP audit). It should provide a summary of
activities and amounts related to:
� Eligibility
� Valuation of property;
� Grievances;
� Losses and compensation;
� Income restoration;
� Consultation and participation of PAPs, especially women, the poor and the most vulnerable groups;
� Level of satisfaction of PAPs in the post resettlement period.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
3.1 Ulubelu 3 & 4
3.1.1 Land Acquisition
Ulubelu Geothermal is situated in an open basin that appears to be fully utilised for agriculture and
horticulture. The bottom of the basin is paddy land and the surrounding hills are planted with coffee, cocoa
and other tree crops, sometimes mixed with small vegetable and fodder plots, depending on the land
contours. Except for the paddy land, the terrain is rugged, with relatively steep hills and valleys. Although
the hillsides appear to be scrub forests, on closer look they are densely covered by tree crops. Villages are
located on natural terraces above the paddy land. Residences are concentrated in villages, although the
new roads have prompted linear development of housing and retail outlets beyond the traditional villages.
Several small shops (warung) have appeared recently around new construction sites. Land ownership is
fragmented and it is common for one family to own several pieces of land in different locations. Pertamina
initially established an operations centre at the edge of the paddy land, off the main road into the area.
Subsequent works have been located in the hills, however, deliberately avoiding the paddy land.
The Ulubelu project consists of eight platforms (clusters or groups of wells numbered A to H) on which a
number of either production or reinjection wells are drilled, pumping stations, connection roads, connection
pipes and two power plant sites (each of two units). PLN has purchased the land for Ulubelu Units 1&2
and construction is underway; PGE recently concluded acquisition of the land for implementation of Ulubelu
Units 3&4. The various clusters will be interconnected by steam pipelines to the respective power units.
Each cluster comprises two to six wells. Five of the clusters (B, C, D, G and H) will be used for steam
production and two (A and F) for steam reinjection. Cluster E wells are reportedly not good enough for
production and may be used as spare reinjection capacity.
Pertamina originally acquired land for exploration wells. With the establishment of PGE in 2006, PGE has
subsequently acquired land for Clusters A to H, Ulubelu Units 3&4 power plant and the road network used
for transport and interconnection pipes. The first acquisitions, Clusters A and B, were completed when
PGE was a division of Pertamina; the remaining purchases were carried out by PGE as a separate entity,
the last of which was concluded in December, 2010. To date, PGE has acquired a total of 46.44 ha in
Ulubelu to support the overall Ulubelu development (approximately 34.7 ha is relevant to the Ulubelu Units
3&4 project component scope). Neither the roads nor the earthworks restrict the villagers’ access to
housing or agricultural plots. The PGE roads have significantly improved communication within the project
area and between the local villages and other parts of the kecamatan.
Table 3.1 summarises the land acquisition activities to date for Ulubelu Units 3&4 project components and
Units 1&2 (outside project component scope). It is important to note that certain well clusters serve both
power plants (although have dedicated wells to respective power plant), and have therefore been included
in the table.

3.2 Lahendong 5 & 6
3.2.1 Land Acquisition
The Tompaso area (within which Lahendong Units 5&6 are being developed) is located on a gently sloping,
slightly undulating plane below a volcanic ridge. The area is intensively cultivated with a mixture of grazing,
fodder, vegetables, tall grains and tree crops. Plots appear to be larger than at Ulubelu, with open fields
demarcated by rows of trees, including coconut palms, interspersed with more dense horticulture. Cattle
are grazed in small herds. Communication is easy within the area, as it is well-served by village roads.
There are two existing production platforms (clusters) in Tompaso and one injection platform in place. The
clusters will be interconnected by steam pipelines to allow operational flexibility. Each cluster comprises
two to five wells. The land for two of them (Cluster 27 close to Sendangan and Cluster 26 close to
Kanonang) was purchased in October 2006. The land for the Cluster 32 close to Tompaso II was
purchased in 2009. Additionally, there is a smaller area of land that was acquired at Pinabetengan for the
purposes of water abstraction / pump-station.
The production clusters are located on village roads, and the injection site is very close to a road, so PGE
did not need to acquire land for roads. PGE upgraded village roads leading to the sites and linking the
clusters.
The clusters will be interconnected by pipelines to allow operational flexibility. Each cluster comprises two
to five wells. Table 3.3 summarises the land acquisition activities to date for Lahendong Units 5 & 6, a total
of 15.18 ha to date.

3.3 Land Acquisition Planned
3.3.1 Ulubelu 3 & 4
As of December 2010, PGE has completed all land acquisition currently planned for Ulubelu, but
requirements may change depending on the results of ongoing drilling and well testing. The only remaining
land acquisition planned is for the short transmission line that will connect Units 3&4 to the switchyard at
Units 1&2. For this, land will be acquired for the footprint of the towers (estimated total of 1,200 m2). For
the right of way between the towers, owners will be compensated a portion of land value, as well as any
above ground assets that need to be removed to meet safety requirements.
3.3.2 Lahendong 5 & 6
Final plans for Lahendong 5 & 6 are still evolving, reflecting the inherent nature of geothermal
development. Currently, PGE expects to construct possibly two more production well clusters, the power
house and perhaps an additional injection well cluster, as well as the transmission line from Units 5 & 6 to
the nearest PLN substation. The land requirement for the remaining project components could total up to a
maximum of 40 ha. Acquisition of the remaining land is estimated to be concluded by early 2012.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
3.4 PGE Valuation and Compensation Experience
In the past, to establish a price for land, PGE has started with the local tax value (NJOP) which is adjusted
annually, and then assessed market prices. Market prices are ascertained through discussions with village
headmen and other local officials who are familiar with recent land transactions. Many transactions are
informal, thus there is no single source for up-to-date information. In practice, PGE has then set its offering
price between two and three times the NJOP. A comparison of recent examples is presented in Table 3.6.
Table 3.6: Land Price Comparison at Ulubelu Units 3 & 4 and Lahendong Units 5 & 6 (2006 to 2009)
Price Comparisons (Rp/m2) Location Year
NJOP Value Market Value PGE Value
2006 3,000 4,500 7-8,000
2008 6,000 4,500 11,500 to 20,000 Ulubelu 3 & 4

2009 7,000 to 8,000 20,000 30,000

PGE has negotiated from a reasonable market assessment, thus it does not change its offer much during
negotiations. In Tompaso in 2006, PGE raised its offer from Rp 27,500 to Rp 30,000 per square metre, for
example, in light of the owners’ asking prices that varied from Rp 35,000 to Rp 50,000 per square metre.
In general, PGE has paid more for land in Tompaso (Lahendong Units 5&6) than in Ulubelu, which is a true
reflection of the value of the land. PGE always pays a considerably higher rate for land than has been
reasonably established as its prevailing market rate. As shown in Table 3.6 above, there are marked
variations in the NJOP and market land prices across time and locations, to which PGE’s land acquisition
strategy is responsive and adaptive.
PGE’s compensation rate for crops and trees has also varied considerably by location as well as according
to the maturity of the trees, as seen in Table 3.2: and Table 3.4. Each location has a strikingly different
mixture of major crops and trees, and the actual variety of assets of individual farmers can be much more
complex. Table 3.7 below shows the variation in prices paid for three trees common to both Tompaso and
Ulubelu. Coffee and Sugar Palm have been established as being of higher value in Tompaso than in
Ulubelu, although the rate paid in Tompaso has not changed over three years. In contrast, clove trees are
paid for at a higher rate in Ulubelu than they are in Tompaso. This data shows that PGE’s asset
compensation is sensitive to prevailing local market values and is able to be adapted to enable a fair price
to be paid in each case.

Finally, to give an idea of the importance of the above ground assets, one owner in Ulubelu was
compensated for 18 different trees and plants in 28 different price categories and the combined value of the
trees was half that of the land. Despite the complexity of the subject of above-ground assets, however,
negotiations for compensation are much simpler than negotiations over the price of land. Provinces and
Kabupaten have standardized prices for each crop. PGE has used these references as a starting point in
negotiating compensation rates with owners, as well as market inquiries and discussions with local officials.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework
PGE is legally registered as a private company in Indonesia and it acquires land through direct
negotiations, based on the principle of willing buyer-willing seller. PGE has the legal right to request
expropriations if negotiations fail and if no viable alternative site exists for the Ulubelu Units 3&4 and
Lahendong Units 5&6 proposed geothermal projects. Hence, the World Bank Operational Policy 4.12 on
Involuntary Resettlement is triggered and will apply if expropriation is used.
This document has established a policy framework for PGE to manage land acquisition and resettlement
impacts in accordance with OP 4.12. It described the negotiated settlement procedures, which is PGE’s
standard practice for addressing land acquisition and resettlement. The negotiated settlement approach
involves establishing a project specific PGE land acquisition team (LAT). With a preliminary design in
mind, the LAT carries out topography and market data gathering exercises. Meetings are held with local
representatives and project affected persons (PAPs) and an initial plan for addressing compensation is
produced. Negotiations begin and when there is agreement on unit prices, valuation of assets is
undertaken. When individual agreements are made, land documents are provided to PGE who pay the
negotiated settlement and a letter revising the land title is organised.
If a settlement cannot be negotiated and there is not an acceptable viable alternative, expropriation is a last
choice solution requiring resettlement planning, but PGE has not reached that stage in any of its land
acquisition exercises and does not expect to do so. Nonetheless, if this should happen, an appropriate
resettlement planning instrument, either an abbreviated resettlement plan (ARAP) or a full action plan
(RAP) will be produced. It will reflect procedures including the establishment of a district land acquisition
committee (DLAC) to orient and implement resettlement activities. Information about the Project and land
acquisition process, including the grievance process, will be provided in writing and orally to PAPs. An
independent appraisal will be undertaken to establish replacement costs to be proposed to PAPs for
negotiation. PGE will work with the DLAC and a local institution to carry out the socio-economic baseline
survey with 25 percent of local households (for a full resettlement plan) and the asset census inventory and
detailed measurement survey with 100 percent of PAPs. The entitlement matrix in Table 2.1 defines
resettlement compensation and will be used to develop assistance packages. Criteria for providing
replacement land and shelter is provided. Rehabilitation assistance to restore livelihoods and special
measures to support vulnerable, marginalised or disadvantaged PAPs are included in the entitlement
matrix and will be applied if relevant. A grievance procedure will be established and grievances will be
logged for monitoring resolution. Compensation and resettlement assistance will be provided prior to
construction commencing.
The status of land acquisition and resettlement to date indicates that much of the land needed for the
projects has already been acquired, all of which was acquired through negotiated settlements.
The overall Ulubelu project consists of eight clusters (groups of wells numbered A to H) and two power
plant sites (each of two units, although only Unit 3 & 4 are developed by PGE). Land for Clusters A to H,
the road network used for transport and interconnection pipes, pumping stations, and Unit 3&4 has already
been acquired in 12 acquisition efforts. PGE will purchase the land for the transmission line to connect
Units 3&4 to the switchyard at Units 1&2. PLN purchased land for Power Units 1&2 and has started
construction.
There are two production clusters and one reinjection cluster existing within the Tompaso area (within
which Lahendong Units 5&6 are being developed). Land acquisition for these three clusters has been

completed. PGE may construct two additional production clusters and one additional reinjection cluster.
Additional land will be acquired for these clusters (as required) as well as for Lahendong Power Units 5&6
and the transmission line between Units 5&6 and the nearby PLN substation. A rough estimate of the
maximum anticipated land acquisition is approximately 40 ha.
Review of past land acquisition indicates that PGE has paid more for land in Tompaso (Lahendong Units
5&6) than in Ulubelu, which reflects the relative market value of land in the two locations. PGE’s
compensation rate for crops and trees has also varied considerably by location. Additionally, in each
instance PGE seems to have paid a considerably higher rate for land in comparison to the prevailing
market rates of the time. PGE’s asset compensation practices seem to be sensitive to prevailing local
market values and adapt easily to assure that owners are awarded fair prices for the type of loss and
location. As a measure of its success, PGE has no outstanding challenges or appeals in either location.
