While the field research conducted by interviewing informants.The results showed that the gold mining of people in Gunong Ujeun district of Aceh Jaya district is vulnerable to conflict. Theconflict that occurred in the Gunong Ujeun area is a horizontal latent conflict between the immigrant community and the local community. The causes of conflict are (1) logging in Gunong Ujeun (2) more difficult to get fresh fish. (3) Environmental pollution resulting from the use of mercury and cyanide.
