Abstract

This study focuses on the governance of non-extractive natural resources on the Nemberala coast. More specifically, this study aims to trace the access mechanism and power relations of foreign capitalists and the government in the development of resorts, villas and cafes in the Nemberala coastal area, Rote Ndao Regency as a means of supporting tourism and what the implications are for local communities. This study uses two access mechanism approaches, Nency Peluso's Access theory (1992) and Nanang's (2021) elements of political analysis of natural resources as units of analysis. This study uses a single case study strategy with a qualitative inductive research approach. This study found that discourse and material power can change the composition of power and values ​​in an area in the form of domination as an exercise of power. Apart from that, this study found that material power operates at a closed spatial level so that in the land acquisition process on the Nemberala coast unconstitutional practices occur. The study of natural resource governance shows that there are three key actors in the governance of Nemberala's coastal natural resources, namely the government, foreign capitalists and land-owning communities. On the other hand, capitalization, privatization and commodification arise due to the globalization of the tourism market or the internationalization of tourism. Placing tourism in the capitalist space means that natural resource management will discuss who gets what, where it gets it, and how it gets it.

Abstract

The development of the Sokoria Geothermal Power Plant (GPP) in Sokoria Village, East Ndona Subdistrict, Ende Regency is part of Indonesia’s national renewable energy policy. However, this project is not only shaped by technical and economic considerations but also strongly influenced by local socio-political dynamics, particularly the interest relations of local elites. This study aims to analyze the forms of local elite interest relations in the development of the Sokoria GPP, the political, economic, and social interests underlying their involvement, and the impacts on local communities. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation as data collection methods. Data analysis is conducted using C. Wright Mills’ elite theory. The findings reveal that local elites play a dominant role in the decision-making process of the Sokoria GPP development, acting as intermediaries between developers and communities while also controlling information flows and benefit distribution. These interest relations tend to be elitist rather than participatory, resulting in unequal benefit distribution and community resistance. This study concludes that the success of geothermal development depends not only on technical and policy aspects but also on inclusive, transparent, and just socio-political governance.
