Prevention And Resolution Of Social Conflict In Coastal Communities In Indonesia

Abstract

There have been several social conflicts in coastal communities in Indonesia. These conflicts have been violent and have had quite negative effects. There are social roots that underlie the realization of a conflict. For this reason, this study aims to examine social conflicts that occur in coastal communities and seek opportunities for prevention and resolution. The method used is descriptive analysis and literature review. Data for this analysis is based on various secondary data and scholarly sources. This study found that conflicts in coastal communities are in the form of vertical and horizontal conflicts, which are dominated by fishermen conflicts with a background of interests, regulations, also social and economic problems. Preventing social conflicts is done by improving governmental policies and regulations as well as developing communities. Conflict resolution is carried out in stages and the involvement of social elites.

Social Entrepreneurship and Impact on Community Empowerment in Indonesia's Coastal Areas

“…Community empowerment programs, conflict prevention techniques, the Indonesian Navy's coastal community empowerment programs, resilience-building projects, and waste management policies are some of the measures being taken to address these issues. Indonesia seeks to solve the issues encountered by coastal communities and enhance their general well-being while also strengthening their resilience and contributing to the nation's maritime defense policy by empowering these people via education, training, conflict resolution, and resilience building (Judijanto, Destiana, et al, 2024;Kurniawan et al, 2023;Masrohatun, 2022;Palar et al, 2023;Prasetyo et al, 2023;Prianto & Abdillah, 2023).…”

“…The goal of the numerous, effective social projects in Indonesia's coastal regions is to improve the welfare of the local communities (Judijanto, Mendrofa, et al, 2024;Sitorus & Harahap, 2022). These programs cover a broad range of activities, from preventing and resolving conflicts in coastal communities to reducing poverty through community empowerment and education (Kurniawan et al, 2023;Prasetyo et al, 2023). Partnerships are also essential for increasing coastal communities' involvement in social innovation, especially when it comes to maximizing marine resources for economic growth (Harsono, 2024;Suryanto et al, 2023).…”
