Abstract

Yogyakarta is a city that is synonymous with peace; as the slogan Yogyakarta is comfortable, and almost no conflicts or violence appear. In the past five years, there have been nearly 35 violent incidents in Yogyakarta. This paper wants to describe the typology of conflicts and violence that occurred in Yogyakarta over the past five years. This paper aims to map the typology of violence in this area, which is known as a city with a comfortable heart. The research methodology is descriptive and qualitative, with data mining methods using secondary data obtained from literature, online media, books, and journals related to conflict and violence. The theory analysis uses Dahrendorf's conflict theory with his concept that society simultaneously has two faces of conflict and consensus. The results of the study show that the typology of conflict in Yogyakarta can be categorized; as (1) emotional abuse, (2) physical violence, (3) student violence, (4) ethnic violence, (5) sports-based violence, and (6) worker violence. Among the various types of violence, youth violence is the most common violence, approximately 50% of the total number of conflicts. Most conflict resolution is through mediation, but some victims end up in prison. Various forms of conflict and violence show that the peaceful people of Yogyakarta have a violent face that different actors easily trigger.
