Abstract

The land conflict between the residents of Pengudang Village and PT Buana Megawisatama (BMW) in Bintan Regency dates back to 1993, whenthe company offered compensation to local residents to relinquish their land at disproportionately low prices, accompanied by promises ofresidential plots and housing, most of which were never fulfilled. This imbalance triggered mounting tensions and protests from the community, culminating in demonstrations involving university students and resulting in repressive actions by security forces. This study aims to examine the root causes of the conflict in depth and to evaluate the effectiveness of various resolution efforts undertaken, including mediation and directinterventions by relevant stakeholders. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with informants selected via snowball sampling. The findings reveal that this conflict reflects structural tensions between local communities and corporate interests over access to and control of land, with significant social, economic, and environmental repercussions for the affected population. Despite the local government’s mediation efforts and land retribution initiatives.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of educating ecologically and economically based social approaches in seagrass conservation in Taman Wisata Perairan Bintan, Kecamatan Gunung Kijang. The problems raised are the low awareness of the community on the importance of seagrass ecosystems and the effectiveness of the approaches used in conservation. This study aims to analyze and compare the effectiveness of ecological and economic approaches in involving coastal communities in seagrass conservation. The method was descriptive with a qualitative approach, including in-depth interviews to understand the community's views. The results show that the economic approach is more effective in encouraging community participation, with financial incentives increasing their awareness and involvement. In contrast, the ecological approach still faces challenges due to the community's low understanding of the long-term benefits of seagrass conservation. Combining these two approaches is proposed to achieve more optimal results in marine ecosystem conservation. Â
