Conflict resolution needs to be arranged comprehensively, especially to resolve the root of conflict triggered by the instability of system change. This is done by balancing the power positions among conflicting actors in the land management of the Bojongmenje Temple site, beginning with the recognition of local land rights by the government and establishing concensus with citizens to manage the site participatively. Keywords: power relations, conflict, land dispute Abstrak Tulisan ini membahas tentang relasi kuasa dalam perebutan lahan di situs Candi Bojongmenje untuk mengungkapkan mengapa konflik dalam perebutan lahan di Situs Candi Bojongmenje berlangsung dengan lama (2003-sekarang).

Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif, dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam kepada para aktor yang terlibat di dalam konflik. Hasil riset menemukan bahwa konflik lahan di kawasan situs Candi Bojongmenje merupakan bentuk konflik pelik, yang diawali oleh perubahan nilai ekonomi lahan akibat ditemukannya situs cagar budaya yang berpotensi wisata. Konflik pelik ini berlangsung berkepanjangan dan tidak terselesaikan karena posisi tawar pemerintah sebagai institusi yang memegang otoritas justru berada pada posisi yang lemah. Penyelesaian konflik pelik perlu dilakukan secara komprehensif, terutama untuk menyelesaikan akar permasalahan yang dipicu akibat dari ketidakstabilan perubahan. Hal tersebut dilakukan dengan menyeimbangkan posisi kekuasaan dari para aktor yang berkepentingan di dalam pengelolaan lahan situs Candi Bojongmenje, yang diawali dengan pengakuan hak atas tanah dari warga setempat oleh pemerintah dan membangun kesepakatan dengan warga mengenai rencana pengelolaan kawasan tersebut secara partisipatif. Kata kunci: relasi kuasa, konflik pelik, perebutan lahan
