Causes, Dynamics, and Environmental Conflict Resolution Models in Coal-Fired Steam Power Plant Development Locations

Abstract

This paper examines the causes, dynamics, and models of environmental conflict resolution that can be applied in the construction of a coal-fired steam power plant. The existence of power plants is a dilemma because it has negative impact to the society and environment that can lead to conflict. Environmental conflicts always begin with ecological degradation which becomes increasingly complex due to social factors. Discussions of environmental conflicts often focus on ecological damage but forget about the social impacts that will result. The causes of conflicts such as competition for natural resources, poor management of natural resources and the environment, and the dynamics of natural resources that cross borders require proper conflict management to deal with them. This study offers management conflicts models in resolving social-environmental conflict.
