Kendal Industrial Park (KIP) is a bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Singapore. The cooperation is expected to be the driving force of the Indonesian economy, without prejudice to the economic impacts of surrounding communities. This study aims to analyze the impact of KIP on the changes in society welfare. This type of research is qualitative research using case study approach. The data collected from community, government and manager through purposive sampling method. The analysis result showed that KIP did not have a significant impact on changes in livelihoods because there were still many companies that have not operated and been under construction, therefore the agricultural sector still dominate the livelihoods of population. Changes in income as a result of the development industrial estates brought different effects to the community. People who felt the positive impact of livelihood changes were those who could work at KIP. However, the people who were still in agricultural sector did not feel a change of their income. The impact of KIP development could not be enjoyed by the community so far, synergistic steps are needed between the government, KIP and community to integrate well in order to achieve the success of regional development. © IJSTR 2020.
