Abstract:

This study examines the land conflicts in the Jenggawah area, Jember Regency, East Java, between farmers and PTP XXVII. In this study, the author explores the background of the conflict, the process, and the conflict resolution process and compares the Jenggawah conflict with land disputes in the Kalibakar area. This study is based on Karl Marx's theory of factors of production and ownership of capital. The heuristic process in this study was carried out through a literature study. The results showed that the agrarian conflict in Jenggawah was motivated by the nationalization of the Dutch plantations granted by the RtC to PTP XXVII. In the new order era, conflict was accompanied by violence between the two parties involved. During the reformation period, violence and destruction of land continued. The steps to resolve disputes in the new order era emphasized the role of state institutions. In contrast, in the reform era, the government prioritized the intensity of government work in issuing unresolved certificates, reviewing cooperation letters, and stopping repressive actions.
