The paradigm used is constructivism, with a single case study method that focuses on territorial claims by indigenous peoples and migrants as one of the family's livelihood strategies. The results show that the territorial claims of field constructed by the indigenous peoples of Buru Island are more dominant in the physical territorial claims of field. Because for them the natural resources of gold mining is an Ulayat Right that needs to be maintained as an identity. As for the community of immigrant claims territorial field that is built more non-physical or discourse/issue that the mining area is open access area.
