If tested with F-test statistics had shown the difference of mean values which tested then the pair differences will be further tested by using the Scheffe test and test the relationship by using statistic Pearson Correlation test.The study found that members of the community were highly positive toward the plant’s social responsibility in 5 areas of improvement such as knowledge and education, community and environmental development, community’s health care, sports and tourism, and religions and culture. (2) As for the effects of personal factors on the community’s attitudes towards social responsibility activities of the mining industrial plants, it was discovered that differences in sex, age, occupations, level of income, and residences had effects on differences in attitudes at the significance level of 0.05, while the differences in education and status did not significantly affect differences in attitudes.
