ABSTRACT: Tenggarong Seberang
subdistrict had been an agriculture area since the 1980s which was started when
migrants were located there. The subdistrict had ever been a rice granary for
Kutai Kartanegara Regency. To support the agricultural activity, the regency
goverment developed a rice processing unit to increase the quality of rice from
that place. However, while the coal mining activity around Tenggarong Seberang
is increasing, at the same time the agricultural land has changed its function
become a mining concession. Land grabbing has emerged between peasants who are
consistant to work in agriculture and those who see the mining as an economic
sector which will bring a more advance life. This paper attempts to understand
how the peasants survive in their agricultural activity with all obstacles and
from mining industry which continuously push to the agricultural areas. This
paper is based on the research conducted in 2014.
