Abstract

Conflict between local communities and companies occurred from land seizure, declination of mine development plans, exposure to mining waste that threatened local communities, into demands for post-mining recovery. This article discusses the declination of local communities to development of gold mines by PT. Inexco Jaya Makmur in Nagari Simpang Tonang, Pasaman Regency, West Sumatera. The data was collected using in-depth interviews and document studies. The research findings indicated the institutional and extra-institutional tactics was used by the community. Authors conclude the strategy was carried out from soft approaches (correspondence with government) to confrontational one.s
