Agrarian conflict is an important issue that reflects the tension between investment interests and protecting the rights of local communities. This research explores the conflict between PT. Gema Kreasi Perdana and residents of Roko-Roko Raya Village, Konawe Islands, Southeast Sulawesi. The dispute involves claims of customary rights to land that conflict with nickel mining activities that damage the environment. Using a normative juridical approach, this research reviews the legal basis, spatial incompatibility, as well as the social and ecological impacts of the conflict. The results of the analysis show that the conflict was triggered by the granting of mining permits without consultation with indigenous communities, violations of the district's RTRW, and weak law enforcement. The impacts of conflict include damage to ecosystems, criminalization of citizens, and polarization of society. The findings of this research highlight the need for more inclusive and equitable natural resource governance reforms, to ensure environmental sustainability and the welfare of local communities. Thus, it is hoped that this research can make a significant contribution to the development of agrarian policy in Indonesia
