| Summary: | Donggala regency�s government policy which gave exploration Mining
Business Permit (IUP) PT Cahaya Manunggal Abadi (PT. CMA), and stated
Balaesang Tanjung District area as mining area, has created conflict in the
community. The purpose of this research is to define the conflict, to describe the
conflict variance and type, the conflict�s actors, its dynamic, as well as to study the
of the Donggala Regency government�s role in managing those conflict. The
research was done inductively using descriptive qualitative method, based on the
rationalistic paradigm.
The result shows the conflict at the gold mine in Balaesang Tanjung District is
conflict of land utilization and natural source management. Base on the conflict�s
root, there were two types of conflict, namely interest conflict due to the interest
differences in land utilization and natural source management, and relation conflict
to the bad communication management of the regional government. The conflict
involved the groups in the community (pro and contra), the company (PT CMA), and
Donggala Regency government as interested group. Therefore the local
politicians, NGO, local media, and the police are the quasi groups. Recently conflict
in the de-escalation conflict stage with the conflicted groups are stopping hurt each
other and have made a deal which embodied in �Mata Palu� agreement. However the
amount of compensation on the land/plantation has not yet agreed and the unrealization
of the IPR promised by the government had potential to start a conflict in
future.
The role of the Donggala Regency Government in monitoring the PT CMA
exploration operation has been lacking, therefore early anticipation on advance
community�s chaos in conflict has been failed. The conflict resolution effort by the
Donggala Regency government is reconciliation and mediation. The reconciliation
aims to create peace and understanding among the conflicted parties, and the
mediation is to discuss the land liberation.
