Abstract

Mitigation of social conflicts in mining focuses on the problems of conflicts between indigenous workers and foreign workers. The conflict itself is caused by two sources, namely the management of coal mining companies and the subjective pattern of communication between workers. This conflict was mediated by stakeholders from Dayak adat leaders and trade unions. This research method is descriptive qualitative involving six informants consisting of company leaders, trade unions, laborers, traditional leaders, and youth. Data collection techniques are interviews and FGDs, then the data analysis method uses Miles & Hubberman. This research, which is located in East Kalimantan, categorizes the types of internal and external conflicts how to resolve them through conflict mitigation. The recommendations of this research are regarding methods, conflict mitigation implementation models, and reporting of supporting factors that hinder their implementation.
