Meanwhile, determining informants uses Purposive.  The theory used according to Muhadan Labolo in Ryaas Rasyid 2010 is the role of the government as a facilitator which means creating conducive conditions for development implementers to bridge various community interests, the role as a regulator. Dimensions that are measured by the agreement that the Lero Tatari village government has built with the parties  implementing the construction of a steam power plant project, Dynamisator. The government's role as a dynamist means providing encouragement or support through appeals to the village community.
