Kecemasan Warga Terdampak Konflik Agraria Kampung BPRPI Tanjung Gusta A Desa Klambir Lima Kebun Deli Serdang: Studi Etnografi

Abstract

Agrarian conflicts often trigger significant psychological impacts on affected communities, including anxiety that affects their well-being. This study aims to identify the forms, causes, and coping mechanisms of anxiety among residents of Kampung BPRPI Tanjung Gusta A, Klambir Lima Kebun Village, impacted by agrarian conflicts. The research employs a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and live-in fieldwork. The findings reveal four main forms of anxiety: anxiety related to land legality, trauma from conflict, economic issues, and internal conflicts between the community and village administrators. This anxiety triggers symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, restlessness, and stress. To cope with their anxiety, residents adopt strategies such as participating in spiritual activities, pursuing hobbies, and focusing on work to earn a living as a diversion from land-related uncertainties. This study provides insights into the psychological impacts of agrarian conflicts and community coping strategies, contributing to the development of relevant interventions to support the well-being of affected communities.
