Gadjah Mada University (UGM) Social Humanities Research Student Creativity Program Team (PKM-RSH) consisting of Destriananda Safa Aina (FH ’21), Bolivia Rahmawati (FIB ’21), An Nuur Khairune Nisa (FIB ’21), Muh Faqihuddin M . (FH ’20), Putri Pertiwi (FH ’21), accompanied by Almonika Cindy Fatika Sari, S.H., M.A., as supervisor lecturer researched the values of customary law-based land tenure in the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village, Bali.
Destriananda as Team Leader said that the research was motivated by the uniqueness of the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village which maintains traditional values regarding the land tenure system which is in line with the agrarian reform agenda to date. The team consisting of five people carried the research title, “Opportunities for Integrating Customary Law-Based Land Tenure Systems into the Agrarian Reform Agenda: Study in Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village, Bali.“
The PKM-RSH team measured the achievement of implementing agrarian reform values in the Tenganan Traditional Village using 4 indicators described by Sangkoyo (2001), namely indicators of authority, use, production, and consumption. Based on field research, the PKM-RSH Team discovered the fact that indicators of authority, use, and production systems implemented by the Tenganan traditional law community could be integrated into the national agrarian reform agenda. The aim is to make the national agrarian plan more effective through the redistribution of land ownership, control, and use.
In its research, the PKM-RSH Team obtained regulatory information regarding the power of attorney, use, production, and consumption systems of land in the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village which is accommodated in customary rules both written and verbal. Context
Power of attorney is reflected in the guarantee of access and protection of village community rights to existing land. Then, use can be seen from the implementation of a neat spatial planning system and there has been no land conversion since the traditional village existed. This ensures the protection of the natural ecosystem in the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village.
The achievement of production management indicators is demonstrated through the production process and utilization of natural resources carried out communally and cooperatively by the Subak group. Meanwhile, its relation to consumption regulations is reflected in the Tenganan Pegringsingan awig-awig which regulates that jackfruit, tehep, candlenut, pangi, cempaka, durian, and enau can only be consumed when they fall from the tree. These regulations were made as a manifestation of the social function of natural resources and also to preserve nature. This regulation aims to ensure that every member of the Tenganan MHA can access and fulfil their daily local food needs.
In obtaining this data, the PKM-RSH Team collaborated with kliyang, the community, and sharecroppers in the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village. Through this research, the PKM-RSH Team also prepared a policy brief that it hopes can be used as a consideration for stakeholders to make the implementation of agrarian reform more effective by local community values.
