Abstract

Agrarian conflicts in Indonesia have become a chronic issue involving various sectors such as plantations, forestry, infrastructure, and property. In 2023, there were 241 recorded agrarian conflicts in Indonesia, involving the seizure of 638,188 hectares of land, which included agricultural areas, customary territories, fishing zones, and community settlements, affecting 135,608 households. Moreover, 110 conflicts resulted in 608 victims among land rights defenders due to repressive actions in agrarian conflict zones. These figures place Indonesia at the top of the list among six other Asian countries, including India, Cambodia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, and Nepal. The conflicts are not only caused by overlapping policies and land control by large corporations but also by maladministration practices and resource exploitation that neglect local community rights. The impacts of agrarian conflicts are extensive, encompassing social, economic, and cultural losses, as well as human rights violations. Furthermore, repressive actions by authorities and policy imbalances often exacerbate the situation. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with literature review methods to analyze the causes and impacts of agrarian conflicts. The findings highlight the need for a fair, inclusive, and sustainable approach through agrarian reform to address these issues and promote equitable economic distribution.

Abstract

Raja Ampat, known as the world's ecotourism paradise for its rich marine biodiversity, now faces a major dilemma between nickel mining exploitation and the preservation of sustainable tourism. On one hand, the increasing global demand for nickel makes this region a target for the expansion of the mining industry. On the other hand, the tourism sector has proven to make a significant contribution to local revenue and the well-being of the local community. This research aims to analyze the tension between these two development interests, as well as their impact on the environment and indigenous communities. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a literature study approach, the study results show that mining activities have a negative impact on the marine ecosystem, customary laws such as "sasi," and the local social structure. Conversely, sustainable tourism can promote environmental conservation while providing long-term economic benefits. However, tourism also brings its own challenges, such as coral reef degradation due to tourist activities and a lack of regulation for managing visits. Therefore, strengthening conservation policies, engaging indigenous communities, and rejecting mining are strategic steps in maintaining the ecological and developmental balance of Raja Ampat.
