What activities does CRU Indonesia carry out related to work at the upstream level?

16 June 2019

The experience of dealing with various conflicts and considering the broader context of land and natural resource management has made CRU Indonesia realise that conflict resolution at the site level, although important for the conflicting parties in the context of broader wealth management, is not sufficient. For this reason, CRU Indonesia endeavours to explore potential conflicts upstream, namely in the policy realm.

1. Policy Assessment and Outreach

  • Ketika kebijakan pemerintah atau perusahan ditengarai berpotensi menjadi sumber konflik, CRU Indonesia  dapat berprakarsa melakukan kajian, sebagai upaya mencegah perluasan dampaknya. Salah satu langkah penting dari kajian ini adalah dengan mencermati linimasa dinamika perubahan kebijakan dan pengaruhnya terhadap subjek dan objek konflik. Hal ini penting untuk memahami relevansi dan konteks terkait konflik yang terjadi.

2. Development of Indicative Conflict Prone Map

  • Indicative maps of conflict-prone over land and natural resources are instruments used to identify potential conflicts that may arise related to land and natural resource utilisation. Indicative maps of areas prone to land and natural resource conflicts that illustrate the level of conflict will be strongly influenced by central and/or regional policies, plans, programmes (KRP), investment plans, and regional expansion. For this reason, it is important to identify things that can change the level of conflict.
  • Indicative maps prone to land and natural resource conflicts are maps that combine official geospatial parameters or variables that are then analysed using scenarios that can become vulnerable and prone to land and natural resource conflicts.
  • The general objective of developing indicative maps of conflict-prone land and natural resources is to develop sensitivity to social, economic and ecological risks, including conflicts, in land and natural resources-based development and investment planning as an effort to continuously improve the quality of public services, regional competitiveness, and community welfare.
