Abstract

Madiun is one of cities in the province of East Java, Indonesia which has a lot of historical tourism. This is because in Madiun there are many historical discoveries such as temples, inscriptions, artifacts, historical heritage buildings, ancient mosques and other historical sites. In the discovery of historical objects, there are often some tensions occurring between land owners and the government and other interest groups. One of the examples is in Ngurawan site. Tensions sometimes lead to such conflicts as land grabs, land management rights, ownership of found objects and so on. The research method is qualitative on with in-depth interviews with prominent figures involved in the conflict. The snow ball sampling technique is used to get informants who really master the topics discussed on a rolling basis. The results of study indicate that the inadequate understanding of the applicable legislation regarding historical objects is the main factor generating tension. This is triggered by the existing conditions of economic factors / elements of profit arising along with the findings of these historical objects. The need for socialization of legislation and the process of excavation or preservation of cultural heritage involving the community is a practical solution in resolving these vertical tensions. The mechanism applied at the Madiun site is expected to be a pattern of conflict resolution applicable to other places without overriding the characteristics of the problem.
