Abstract:
This article analyzes the struggle of the people of Pakel Village, Licin District, Banyuwangi Regency, in the agrarian conflict that lasted from 2001 to 2024, using the agrarian conflict theory of Lee J. Alston, Gary D. Libecap, and Bernardo Mueller. This conflict focuses on land disputes that are considered customary land between local farmers and PT Bumi Sari, which causes social and economic injustice for the community. Using an agrarian conflict theory approach, this article identifies the factors that cause tension, including uncertainty over customary land rights. The struggle of farmers, especially women farmers who are at the front line, shows the importance of social solidarity and collective action in defending their land rights. This article provides insight into the urgency of agrarian reform to overcome injustice in customary land management and create more equitable social justice.
