Re-structuring relations between the State, Capital, and the People

By placing the state as the bastion of Human Rights, then the rearrangement state relations, capital and people, especially in the economic field, the people must be placed as the main interest. Meanwhile, the state acts as an instrument fully and organizer management policies intended to protect and promote human rights. The notion of the state's right to control the production branches are important for the country and dominate the life of people and the earth, water, and natural resources for the fullest benefit of the people, have legitimacy when subordinated to the interests of its citizens rights. So that the people's interests or rights of the people, especially in terms of access to land, water, and natural riches contained therein shall be used as the primary means and end of the right to control the country. Thus, the role of capital is secondary and complementary, not substitute for management by the people.
This is contrary to the reality that goes along that the reason the right to control the country, the government arbitrarily deny people's rights over land, water, and natural resources by giving concessions to the widest interests of capital. Clearly, by ignoring the rights of the people in the control and management of earth, water, and natural wealth, the actual right to control the country and then not be able to meet the ultimate objective, namely the maximum benefit of the people.
First, to close the state's interest with the interests of people of diverse and specific characteristics according to political, economic, social, cultural, and natural conditions, the right to control the state should be devolved to the level of political unity in smaller, both provinces, districts or municipalities and even to the village level.
Second, the right to control the state must also be controlled, either by the people's representatives in parliament or through mechanisms of direct democracy. Direct democracy can be made through the absorption of aspirations that were disseminated through various means democracy is possible (other than through the parliament), also through the mechanism of direct popular approval or veto power over development projects and other economic. Direct democracy is important for elected representatives or political parties is still questionable in terms of akuntabiltias and its representation.
Public Participation
Community participation can be interpreted as a way of interaction between the two groups of community groups affected by policy and decision-making groups. Carter (1977) as a definite role of two-way communication process ongoing to improve public understanding of a process in which the problems and environmental kebutuhana was analyzed by the responsible agencies. Simply put it defines a feed forward information (the communication of government to the people riding on a policy) and feedback information (communication from the public policy kepemerintah above).
From that sense can be said that public participation is an instrument of mutual relations in providing information relating to the environment. Reciprocal relationship between governments and entrepreneurs in the community can be an instrument to realize the harmony of social relations between the two different groups of interest in environmental management efforts. Lebihlebih goal is to narrow the information access gap between the two environmental groups are happening all along. There is hope behind such a participatory approach is that there may be a better policy, that policy is more beneficial to the community of kesejahtraan obtained.
By its nature by Cormick (1979) community participation in decision-making process related to the environment is divided into two consultative and partnership. Pattern consultative participatory nature is usually used by pengambila policy as a strategy to gain public support (public support). In a consultative approaches are even interested community members have the right to be heard and the right to be notified, but the final decision remains in the hands of the decision-maker group (initiator). Public opinion here is not the determining factor in decision making. In addition to the support strategies and public legitimacy. Participatory approach is the classification of this consultation and public participation by Wengert (1979) can be categorized as participatory as a policy of giving the right to be consulted (right to be consulted).
In contrast to the consultation, a participatory approach in environmental management that is more appreciative of the partnership of local communities by giving the position or similar positions with decision-making groups. Because positioned as a partner, the two different groups are discussing issues of interest, to find alternative solutions and make decisions together. Thus the decision no longer to be monompoli government and businessmen, but there together with the community. This concept is the effort distribution of decision-making authority.
