Abstract
Natural resource conflicts between corporations and local communities were quite common in Indonesia. In an area in Pandeglang-Banten, a giant corporation tried to control the natural resources, especially water. Yet, local communities fought against the corporation’s agenda. This paper describes the formation of a religious-based community doing social movement against a big corporation. The research method uses qualitative with case study strategy. The research location was in Cadasari District, Pandeglang Regent, Banten Province, Indonesia. Here, the Muslim community fought against PT. Mayora Indah which try to control water resources. The resistances were led directly by the religious local leaders (Kyai) from local Islamic schools (Pesantren). This paper shows that the pesantren succeeded to make political agenda as well as build community resistances through religious doctrine easily understood by local people to defend their access to water resources.
