This study tries to explain some of the basic reasons behind the Porsean local community's strong demand to close PT Indorayon (now Toba Pulp Lestari- TPL) located in Porsea. The larger community are aware in the past Indorayon had afforded great financial gain to Indorayon's shareholders but the local community has had no such access to these financial gains despite the fact that mill is based on their own land. Wrong management has also contributed to the Indorayon's conflict and consequently, the local community has been greatly antagonised and the antipathy towards Indorayon has slowly but intensively grown. Another finding is the existence of numerous NGO's founded by the Tobanese society's intellectuals which have differing vested interests but all exploit the Indorayon problem as the sole reason for their existence. The research was conducted using the qualitative method. The data in the study was obtained by using participant observation and in depth consultation with certain interviews. For data analysing, the study the descriptive and the triangulation techniques.
