Abstract

Agrarian conflict is a structural issue that often arises in the development process, especially in post-disaster situations. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of land conflicts and conflict resolution efforts in the Permanent Housing (Huntap) development project for earthquake victims in Talise Valangguni Village, Mantikulore District, Palu City. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of the affected communities as well as related parties, including local government and land agencies. The research results indicate that the conflict is triggered by overlapping land ownership claims between the local community and the Palu City Government, exacerbated by weak land administration and limited community participation in the process of determining Huntap locations. Land that was previously managed by the community as productive agricultural land has been repurposed for development without adequate consultation mechanisms, resulting in social resistance. Conflict resolution efforts are carried out through non-litigation approaches such as dialogue, negotiation, and land consolidation, which result in agreements for providing replacement land for affected communities. This study emphasizes that post-disaster agrarian conflict resolution requires a participatory approach, social justice, and policy synchronization in order for development to proceed sustainably without neglecting the rights of local communities.
