Abstract

This research aims to investigate the social tensions arising from mining activities in Sumberagung Village, Banyuwangi. The focus of this study is on the dynamics of interaction between residents and the village government, as well as the psychological impact of mining conflicts on the residents. The analysis utilizes the Hydrosocial Territories perspective (Boelens et al., 2016), which elucidates the formation of territorial meaning through complex interactions among social, environmental, technological, and socio-political factors. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study methodology. Data is acquired through in-depth interviews with residents and village officials, as well as observation and document analysis. The goal is to understand the enduring conflict dynamics in this village, including the meaning attributed by residents and its psychological impact. The research findings demonstrate variations in residents' viewpoints toward mining, with differences between supportive and opposing groups. This study not only depicts conflicts within the village context but also offers insights into emerging social dynamics and their psychological consequences. The implication underscores the necessity for inclusive interventions to alleviate tensions and promote collaboration between the village government and the community in managing this conflict.
