Abstract

This study aims to describe the social and economic conditions of the split stone-picking community in Kalebuka 1 village and Kalebuka village. The research focus consists of social conditions, which include cooperation, and economic conditions, which include changes in people's living standards. The results showed that the extraction of split stones in the villages of Kalebuka 1 and Kalebuka had both positive and negative social and economic impacts. Positive social impacts include the establishment of cooperation, growing work motivation, an increase in income, and the occurrence of social interactions.
