Abstract

The community in the oil palm planting zone experiences intragenerational disappointment, due to feelings of alienation that add to the complexity of conflict resolution. We employed an experimental conflict resolution approach utilising Latent Class Analysis and ANOVA hypothesis testing to summarise research findings, a method which involves selecting descriptions of conflict classes and member variables, in order to depict intragenerational community characteristics that concern the perceptions and experiences of conflict within oil palm planting zones. The results indicate that groups categorised as “aggressive habitat threats” reflected concerns about environmental degradation and the potential eviction of small landholders. Meanwhile, the “job transition” group presented a potential for conflict in proportion to their aspirations for a decent life. However, conflicts do not always result in direct clashes. Conversely, community empowerment, including circular dimensions and human resources, acts as a catalyst that motivates intragenerational individuals to actively accelerate efforts to increase their capacity.
