In order for equity, the government will develop industrial area in South West Java, because in the North is considered too crowded. The locations include Cianjur, Garut, Tasikmalaya, and Sukabumi. One of the areas being developed as an industrial center is Sukabumi.

So the construction of factories in Sukabumi area is not uncommon to get rejection. Can be judged by the construction of these factories will threaten the environmental sustainability because it can produce waste from hazardous and toxic materials, also affect health. Moreover, in Sukabumi there are a lot of plant construction in residential areas, for example SCG Cement Plant which is built very close to the residential area. On some sides there are only two to four meters away. The furthest distance is only 100-300 meters.

Not only cause environmental damage, other losses caused by the development of industrial sector in Sukabumi namely increasing traffic congestion such as in Cibadak and Cicurug areas. When at 7 am  caused by the factory worker's factory hours, then at 5 pm the areas will be traffic again by the employees due to the end of business hours.

The availability of abundant raw materials and potential human resources support in Sukabumi has made the industry sector grow more rapidly in recent years. However, the advanced industry seems to be a problem for most people. In addition to providing positive impacts, the development of industrial estates also has a negative impact or disadvantage, most of which are related to environmental aspects. In addition, the government is also expected to think about the surrounding communities living in the vicinity of industrial estates, to review the permits for the development of industrial estates in residential areas.
