This article explores place‐making in post‐conflict resource landscapes by elaborating on the concept of frontier construction. Much of resource frontier literature examines conflicts over access to land and resources, but very few studies look at how places emerge through the process of frontier‐making. This article provides an in‐depth analysis of place‐making in Northwest Cardamom region, a former battlefield and ex‐Khmer Rouge stronghold, where the current socio‐spatial relationships are formed by the competing access to land and resources. I argue that the formation of place in post‐war resource landscapes is the creation of frontiers where the relationship between local people and landscapes are formed through the reinforcing imagination of resource landscapes as wastelands. Everyday socio‐spatial relationships in resource frontiers are established through three tensions: (1) socio‐ecological intensity, (2) social confrontation, and (3) local vs state territorial contestation.

创造地方和创造前沿：审查柬埔寨冲突后资源景观中的土地和资源斗争

本文通过阐述边界建设的概念，探讨了冲突后资源环境中的场所营造。许多资源前沿文献都研究了获取土地和资源方面的冲突，但是很少有研究探讨在边界创造过程中场所是如何出现的。本文对西北小豆蔻地区，前战场和前高棉胭脂要塞进行了深入的场所分析，当前的社会空间关系是由对土地和资源的竞争获取形成的。我认为，战后资源景观中地方的形成是边疆的创建，在这里，人们对荒原的资源景观的想象力不断增强，从而形成了当地人与景观之间的关系。
