The complexation of the conflict that occurred in the community of the gold mining area of PT. Masmindo Dwi Area in Latimojong forced the parties involved to find a way out of the tension that occurred. This study aims to identify the best practices of land conflict resolution involving several stakeholders in Latimojong. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through field observations, in-depth interviews and document studies. The results of the study indicate that conflict resolution in the community of the gold mining area of PT.
