<![CDATA[This study examines the pattern of latent conflict between PT. Sadhana and cultivator farmers and its implications for the community economy in Senanggalih Village, Sambelia District, East Lombok Regency. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through naturalistic observation, interviews, and documentation involving 16 informants consisting of village officials, community representatives, and farmers. Data were analyzed through reduction, display, and conclusion or verification, with validity strengthened through source, technique, and time triangulation. The findings show that the latent conflict developed as a continuation of earlier open land conflict after mediation reduced overt confrontation without resolving the underlying dispute over access and management of land. The latent pattern was reflected in negative discussion, complaints, surveillance, rejection or ignoring of company requests, delayed responses, unorganized resistance to partnership, and generalized distrust. The economic implications were most visible in agricultural production because cultivator farmers faced limitations in accessing land, capital, technology, and agricultural infrastructure. The company’s contribution through employment, empowerment, and social infrastructure was considered limited by informants and had not substantially improved the local economy. The study concludes that unresolved tenure relations and weak communication can reproduce latent conflict and constrain local economic development.]]>
