Abstract Oil palm plantations are still the largest contributor to state revenue in Indonesia. One of the provinces that is the center of oil palm production is West Kalimantan Province. This study aims to analyze community perceptions of the social, economic and environmental impacts of the existence of oil palm plantations. The research was conducted in January 2020 - April 2020 in villages around PT Permata Sawit Mandiri, Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan Province. The type of data taken is community perception with convenience sampling technique. Participants are communities around the oil palm plantation area consisting of indigenous people, transmigrants, and employees who live in Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan Province. The community’s perception of the presence of PT Permata Sawit Mandiri’s oil palm plantation gave an affirmative answer of >50% of respondents to the economic and environmental impact indicators, but not the social impact indicators (<50%). A total of 48.57% of respondents agreed with the social impact indicators related to the presence of PT Permata Sawit Mandiri. Communities generally accept oil palm as a commodity or incoming investors because they expect their rural areas to become more advanced and developed. One of the factors causing the increase in population is the influx of migrants with the motive to improve the economy.
