POTENTIAL FACTORS CAUSING MINING CONFLICT (CASE STUDY ON THE MINE CIRCLE COMMUNITY, TALIABU ISLAND REGENCY)

Abstract

If the factors that cause conflict between mining and the community cannot be identified, the principle of benefit and welfare for the community around the mine will not be realized because conflict escalation will continue to increase. From this description, the purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that cause community conflicts with mining companies. The method in this research is qualitative with case study type. The results of the research show that the factors that cause community conflicts with mining companies consist of poor socialization, lack of disclosure of mining management information, differences in interests, the emergence of impacts and land compensation and unresolved impacts. It is recommended to companies, community leaders and state administrators, both at the central and regional levels to increase dialogue space (participation and information disclosure) so as to create democratization in mining activities that are able to guarantee mining management and minimize conflicts that arise.
