Abstract

Bandar Lampung City has experienced an increasingly major modernization touch over the past ten years. Unfortunately, this transformation has significantly contributed to the disintegration of the spatial plan agreed with stakeholders. The hill land has now absolutely vanished and changed its use as a city landmark. The government of Lampung Province and The government of Bandar Lampung City has made numerous attempts to stop the exploitation of hill land, however there are still problems and difficulties. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), on the other hand, do not have much influence in advocating and defending the hill land. The particular goals of this study are to: 1) determine the legitimacy and direction of the elite movement of students from external campus organizations that intervene in hill land conversion cases in Bandar Lampung City; and 2) identify the challenges that elite movement of students from external campus organizations encounters when trying to intervene in hill land conversion cases in Bandar Lampung City. The researcher employed a descriptive qualitative approach, which included movement analysis and advocacy, to help the study’s goals be met. Furthermore, the informants of this study are from the elite students of the external campus organization such as The Islamic Student Association (HMI), the Muhammadiyah Student Association (IMM), the Indonesian Islamic Student Movement (PMII), and the Indonesian National Student Movement (GMNI). The findings of this study indicate that in an ideal world, students play a significant role in neighborhood associations. They are a group of well-educated individuals that read dynamics regularly, debate ideas, and take positions in the pursuit of the truth. Unfortunately, the student movement is at the moment paralyzed by internal issues. The intersections of groups mixed with various interests have poisoned the values of the movement. Even today, students are trapped in a personal circle and comfort zone. Likewise, in the effort to intervene in the conversion of hill land, students have minimally conducted academic studies and debated the ecological value of urban development. The current movement at the campus external organizational level has not been able to encourage change or suppress the practice of hill land conversion, so that the current practice of using hilly land is increasingly intensive and massive.
