Abstract

This study examined the impact of the Pililla Windmill Farm on community welfare and stakeholder engagement using a descriptive-correlational design and survey data from local residents. Findings showed that the project contributed to employment, livelihood opportunities, tourism, local business growth, and community development through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and stakeholder programs. Positive effects were also observed in health, entrepreneurship, and skills training. However, respondents noted limited improvements in agricultural support, infrastructure, and long-term livelihood stability. Results further revealed that demographic factors such as education, sex, occupation, and proximity influenced perceptions of the project’s benefits, while views on environmental protection and CSR effectiveness were generally consistent across groups. A significant positive relationship was found between the socioeconomic benefits of the windmill farm and perceptions of effective public administration. The study recommends strengthening livelihood, tourism, agricultural, and infrastructure programs while sustaining inclusive stakeholder engagement and CSR initiatives to further improve community welfare.
