Climate change is a result of the environmental degradation due to human activities and has the potential to become a climate disaster that threatens human life and causes social problems. Through the ESF, World Bank expect that infrastructure development can go hand in hand with environmental and social safeguards. To obtain information about the level of satisfaction of the performance of this ESF indicator, this study was conducted using the Importance Performance Analysis method to compare the expectations and the realities of the performance of the critical ESF indicators in Indonesia. The study involved 80 respondents of infrastructure project actors in Indonesia and found that 40% of the ESF indicators had performed well and met their expectations. Meanwhile, three indicators were inefficient or the performance exceeded the expectations, namely ESS6.3, ESS2.3 and ESS6.1. ESS7.2 and ESS8.1. This study is expected to contribute to developing a standardized and integrated ESF in Indonesia. Furthermore, the results of this study can be used as a consideration in further research, especially the use of the ESF variables as a moderator in modeling project social conflict.
