<![CDATA[The gold mining conflict in the Wabu Block, Intan Jaya, Papua, represents a multidimensional crisis that intertwines economic, political, and cultural interests. Since the area was handed over by PT Freeport Indonesia to the state, Indigenous communities have faced militarization, displacement, and structural violence without meaningful participation in decision-making. This phenomenon has triggered serious tensions between the state and Indigenous peoples, particularly over customary land rights considered sacred and tied to cultural identity. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the structure of the conflict using two main conceptual tools: conflict mapping and the onion model. Conflict mapping is used to identify actors, interests, and power relations, while the onion model unpacks the deeper layers of conflict, from explicit positions to hidden values and identities. The research employs a qualitative approach through literature review and document analysis, using thematic analysis techniques. The findings show that the Wabu conflict cannot be resolved administratively alone but requires an interdisciplinary and participatory approach that respects Indigenous rights. The study recommends a transformation toward conflict resolution models rooted in ecological and social justice.]]>
