A number of mining-policy-related conflicts have occurred in Central Java Province, in the districts of Rembang, Kebumen and Pati, among others, related to the construction of a cement plant in Rembang. The conflict emerged at an early stage, as soon as the details of the construction were presented to the local communities. Residents brought suit successfully, and have continued to win all appeals, even to the last court. But the development has not stopped (Kuwado, 2017).
