Customary Land

Land given to and owned by people with rights provided by the UUPA is to be used and utilized. The granting and possession of land with these rights will not be meaningful if its use is limited to land as the surface of the earth. The land also has a significant role in the dynamics of development. According to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia NRI,  "earth and water are natural resources contained therein controlled by the state and used for the greatest prosperity of the people." This research uses a normative juridical approach that is research based on the rules / according to the law because this research focused on the use of document studies and literature or secondary data. The research specification used is descriptive-analytic, which describes the law of the land in the era of globalization based on local wisdom. The results of the study illustrate that the role of the land ruling state, which used for the prosperity of the people, is regulated under Law No. 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Regulations on Agrarian Principles (UUPA).On the other hand, the globalization of law is nothing more than a legal intervention from developed countries towards developing countries in order to adjust their laws globally. One way to address the problem of globalization of land law is to reaffirm local wisdom. In other words, they are upholding the customary provisions related to land. Example: provisions of customary land. Customary land is communal land that is jointly owned and thus does not need to be certified.Keywords: globalization, land law, local wisdomABSTRAKTanah diberikan kepada dan dipunyai oleh orang dengan hak-hak yang disediakan oleh UUPA, adalah untuk digunakan dan dimanfaatkan. Diberikannya dan dipunyainya tanah dengan hak-hak tersebut tidak akan bermakna, jika penggunaannya terbatas hanya pada tanah sebagai permukaan bumi saja. Tanah juga mempunyai peranan yang besar dalam dinamika pembangunan. Undang-undang Dasar 1945 menjelaskan bahwa “Bumi dan air dan kekayaan alam yang terkandung didalamnya dikuasai oleh negara dan dipergunakan untuk sebesar-besar kemakmuran rakyat.” Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif yaitu penelitian yang didasarkan kepada kaidah-kaidah/menurut hukum, oleh karena penelitian ini dititik-beratkan pada penggunaan studi dokumen dan bahan pustaka atau data sekunder. Spesifikasi penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif analitis yang menggambarkan tentang hukum tanah di era globalisasi berdasarkan kearifan lokal. Hasil penelitian menggambarkan bahwa peran negara penguasa tanah yang digunakan untuk kemakmuran masyarakat diatur berdasarkan Undang-undang No. 5 tahun 1960 tentang Peraturan Dasar Pokok-Pokok Agraria (UUPA). Disisi lain, globalisasi hukum tak lebih sebagai intervensi hukum dari negara maju terhadap negara berkembang agar menyesuaikan hukumnya secara global. Salah satu cara menyikapi persoalan globalisasi hukum tanah ini adalah dengan menegaskan kembali kearifan lokal. Dengan kata lain, menegakkan kembali ketentuan-ketentuan adat terkait dengan tanah. Misalnya ketentuan tanah ulayat. Tanah ulayat merupakan tanah komunal milik bersama, dengan demikian tidak perlu disertifikatkan.

Land Administration Systems

Prove of land ownership by customary land is generally unwritten, just a confession of the surrounding communities with nature sign boundaries. If land ownership cannot be supported by strong evidence, the land may be registered by someone else who has getting physically for 20 years or more in consecutively and qualified on Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. Proof of old rights derived from the customary land law is rationally difficult to prove because there are no written documents. Customary land law does not know written ownership, only physical possession continually so it is very prone to conflict or dispute. In order to develop land administration in Indonesia, the values of customary land law contained in its principles is expected to be reflected in the land administration so it can reduce land conflict in the community. The role of customary land law has a large portion of the national land law. The role of government or ruling is very important to create a conducive condition in the land sector. A land is not allowed for personal or group interests, its use must be adjusted with the condition and the characteristic of their rights so useful, both for the prosperity and helpful to community and state.

The article is devoted to the land and legal creativity of a member of the Commission for the Study of Customary Law of Ukraine, established in 1921 at the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, O.S. Dobrov, in particular the peculiarities of the introduction into the mechanism of legal regulation of the then land relations of local customs. As a positive point, the proposed expansion of the historical period of existence of domestic land law, starting from the XVI century. It is stated that modern Ukrainian representatives of legal science have overlooked this fact. A debatable point in the work of O.S. Dobrov is an insufficiently substantiated proposal to apply local customs in land law through the prism of their compliance with the principle of compliance with the Civil Code of compliance with the socio-economic purpose of any civil rights of citizens called to implement solely to develop productive forces. Attention is drawn to the insufficient elaboration of empirical material by the scientist, because the illogical substitution of the basic private law principle of formation of civil rights in order to satisfy private interests on the purely public law principle of achieving state interests ultimately leads to complete leveling of customary land law.

SUMMARYTraditional African laws have up till now been little studied, because they are unwritten, adversely affected by the colonial experience, and seen through western categories. Before looking at African land law, one must sketch the main characteristics of African customary law generally—that it was oral; popular; intimately linked with the invisible world; based on the legal and social complementarity of individual and group; that it implied the interdependence of persons and things, and the reciprocity of rights and duties. Colonial contact emphasized the individual aspect at the expense of the community, thus provoking a reaction against individualism from many of the independent African states.Customary land law in Africa operated against a supernatural background, and linked land and family. The first essential feature was that of lineage or family title to land; restriction of land rights within the lineage—“exo-intransmissibilité”, inalienability outside the family—corresponds to exogamy in the realm of marriage. The benefit of land confined within the lineage was periodically redistributed among its members through the law of succession, which was more precise in some societies than in others. The second main feature of customary land law was the role of the “land chief”, distinguishable from the political chief, who represented the first occupant of the land, and mediated between the occupiers and the spirit world through his control of land use. Colonial administrations largely neglected this functionary.

Abstract: Land registration through PTSL activities is conducted for all parcels of land throughout Indonesia. However, there are some ohoi in Southeast Maluku regency that refuse the registration of land which has been implemented through PTSL in recent years, whereas almost all of ohoi in Southeast Maluku Regency has already done land registration. This study aims to determine the implementation of PTSL in Ohoi Ngabub and Ohoi Sathean, the reason the Ohoi Sathean indigenous people accepted PTSL activities and the Ohoi Ngabub indigenous people rejected PTSL activities, and the land law system that applies in both ohoi. The research method used is qualitative with a sociolegal approach. The results showed that PTSL-UKM activities carried out in 2017 at Ohoi Sathean received good responses from the Ohoi Government and indigenous people of Ohoi Sathean, while the Ohoi Ngabub government refused to do PTSL activities. This is due to the local land law system that applies in both ohois. The local land law system that applies in Ohoi Sathean is individual land ownership, whereas the local land law system that applies in Ohoi Ngabub is joint land ownership. Keywords: customary land, communal rights, PTSL, indigenous peoples of Kei Intisari: Pendaftaran tanah melalui kegiatan PTSL dilakukan untuk seluruh bidang tanah di seluruh wilayah Indonesia. Akan tetapi terdapat beberapa ohoi (desa) di Kabupaten Maluku Tenggara yang menolak dilaksanakannya pendaftaran tanah melalui PTSL, sedangkan hampir seluruh ohoi sudah dilakukan pendaftaran tanah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pelaksanaan PTSL di Ohoi Ngabub dan Ohoi Sathean, alasan masyarakat adat Ohoi Sathean menerima kegiatan PTSL dan masyarakat adat Ohoi Ngabub menolak kegiatan PTSL, dan sistem hukum pertanahan lokal yang berlaku di kedua ohoi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu kualitatif dengan pendekatan sosiolegal. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kegiatan PTSLUKM yang dilaksanakan pada tahun 2017 lalu di Ohoi Sathean mendapatkan tanggapan yang baik dari perangkat ohoi dan masyarakat adat Ohoi Sathean sedangkan perangkat Ohoi Ngabub menolak untuk dilakukan kegiatan PTSL. Hal ini disebabkan oleh sistem hukum pertanahan lokal yang berlaku di kedua ohoi. Sistem hukum pertanahan lokal yang berlaku di Ohoi Sathean yaitu kepemilikan tanah secara individual, sedangkan sistem hukum pertanahan lokal yang berlaku di Ohoi Ngabub yaitu kepemilikan tanah secara bersama.
