Infrastructure development, especially roads, is hampered by the fact of rejection based on urgency and attachment to the Ulayat land of the local community. Terefore, further models are needed in the form of mitigation based on culture and local wisdom to avoid conficts and land disputes and changes in their use. Tis study aims to identify the social impacts of the bypass Amor Road construction and its mitigation strategies based on the perceptions of the community and stakeholders. Tis research study uses a descriptive qualitative research method. Data collection techniques were carried out through documentation studies, ob• servation, and in•depth interviews. Te data analysis technique was carried out using SIA (social impact analysis). SIA helps the community, government, and private sector to better understand and anticipate possible social problems and the changes they bring about as a result of the construction of the bypass Amor road. Te results of the study conclude that the success of road construction depends on the government’s mitigation strategy in adopting local values that live in the community which is then followed by the existence of a foundation and expansion of the fulflment of community interests. Tis study recommends three things, namely, (1) conduct intensive and responsive socialization and approach; (2) approach community involvement through a community•based approach and traditional leaders; and (3) prepare alternative livelihoods based on community interest, local potential, market opportunities, and fnancial feasibility as well as providing capital for businesses. 1.Introduction Te problem of congestion occurs in West Sumatra Province which incidentally is not a row of densely populated provinces in Indonesia (Indonesian Central Statistics Agency). Tis congestion occurs specifcally on the Padang to Bukittinggi national road section, which is the main access to several areas inside and outside the province of West Sumatra. Some of the areas that this route will pass include Padang Panjang city, Tanah Datar regency, Bukittinggi city, Pasaman regency, Payakumbuh city, Fifty Cities regency to North Sumatra, and Riau Province. Besides being caused by an increase in the volume of vehicles that is not balanced with the expansion of roads, it is also caused by the intensity of other activities such as infrastructure development along the route, accidents, transportation mobility during holi• days, disasters, and religious moments. Tis condition then made a commitment to formulate a road infrastructure development plan on this route considering the high ur• gency in overcoming congestion. Te best option for the construction of the road is through the Bypass Road Ex• tension Development plan to Amor. Road construction in the area, apart from overcoming congestion, also has the opportunity to reactivate the Amor market which is the Hindawi e Scientific World Journal Volume 2022, Article ID 6895084, 12 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/6895084
