Abstract

This research aimed to provide a qualitative description of the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) impact from the perspective of job creation for local people of West Nusa Tenggara. This qualitative research used a descriptive method. The research location was the Mandalika SEZ in West Nusa Tenggara Province. The unit of analysis was the types of jobs created from the existence of the Mandalika SEZ. The informants involved were people employed in the zone. To test the data validity, supporting informants consisting of family members of these workers were also included. The total informants were 15 people. Data were collected using interviews, observations, and literature study methods. The data validity test was conducted using triangulation (using several sources of information to verify and strengthen the data). The data validity required four criteria, namely: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The data were then interpreted using a conversational analysis. The results showed that the Mandalika SEZ had a substantial positive impact. Those impacts included (a) expanding the tourism industry to create new jobs for local people (reduce unemployment), (b) increasing job opportunities for local people (although many local people worked at lower levels), (c) creating business fields never existed before, such as businesses in sports (Mandalika Paragliding), pet clinics (Kuta Pet Core), and so on, and (4) transforming labor force from the agricultural sector to the non-agricultural sector
