Relational Dialectics the Government and Indigenous Peoples in the Pre-Auction of Parking Lots

Abstract

The misalignment of objectives in the management of parking lots between the West Kotawaringin District Government and Indigenous communities has led to conflict. The Indigenous People's reasons are that they are local sons, the parking lot used to belong to the sultanate, as their main job, and they are reluctant to learn about online auctions. However, the local government's goal was to reduce conflicts of interest, allegations of maladministration, labor efficiency, and the potential for greater local retribution and non-tax revenue. This research aims to find out how the interaction between the local government and the Indigenous community in resolving conflicts related to the management of parking lots before the auction using relational dialectic theory using a qualitative descriptive approach involving in-depth interviews and document review. This misalignment was analyzed using relational dialectic theory through four perspectives: contradiction, change, aesthetic, and practical. In overcoming conflicts with Indigenous communities during pre-auction, the local government together with KPKNL Pangkalan Bun conducted intensive socialization and dialogue, providing information through various communication channels, and aanwijzing. The management of parking lots through auctions is a medium of collaboration between the government and the community in the effort of sustainable regional development and digital transformation.
