JAKARTA - Social observer Dr Mukhijab reminded the importance of buffer zones for national vital objects (Obvitnas), such as Plumpang Oil Fuel Terminal (TBBM). That's why it is very concerning, when people approach the object, because it is very dangerous for them. "Buffer zones are very important. Because living around Obvitnas like Plumpang TBBM, it is certainly very dangerous. So it is very concerning in terms of safety and very risky," explained Mukhijab, in a statement. His statement, Sunday, March 12. Regarding the large number of people living in the buffer zone area, Mukhijab argues, it is indeed a social phenomenon in Indonesia, especially in urban areas. Because land is very limited and people who are fairly poor find it difficult to buy, they are pragmatic and often ignore aspects of legality and safety. In fact, he continued, not a few of them justify various efforts. "So the problem is indeed lies in the socio-economics. They know that the land is located on socio-economics. "It is forbidden to live in and regarding the safety of state assets, but they often justify any means to stay," he said. In this case, people are not allowed to live within a certain distance from the top of the mountain. The public also knows about the various risks they face. "It's in the mountains fire. At Obvitnas, of course, it must also be enforced, "he added. That's why, even though it is related to socio-economic problems, the relevant parties should be firm. When people start to approach Obvitnas and even establish residences, for example, the authorities must prohibit it. "Why isn't it forbidden? You already know that living there is dangerous," he said. Separately, psychologist Tika Bisono assesses that, from a humanistic psychology perspective, security issues are not yet a priority in Indonesia. practice, related to Maslow theory, security is still at number three in this country. "Safety is number three here. Safety covers insurance, health, safety, environment (HSE), and others. Biological number one and second, food clothing, boards. Even though in developed countries, safety occupies the highest position. That's because here we still focus on stomach and clothing, food and board matters," he said. Tika gave an example, viral videos regarding wedding parties, complete with aisles and tents, which It was held on the railroad tracks. Although the rail is a dead end, it still reflects that safety issues are not a priority. For this reason, regarding buffer zones, Pertamina is asked to take an inventory of all Obvitnas which are at high risk throughout Indonesia. For example, pipe lines, gas lines, including onshore and offshore. So don't go on. So don't go onshore and offshore. "Waiting for the victim first," he concluded.
