Abstract

Local laws are functioned to formulate rules as guidelines for community members to behave in their lives in their customary village areas, including in forest management. This paper analyzes local legal provisions, established in awig-awig, local legal forms governing rules and procedures for managing forests. The method used is an interview with three custom village managers (prajuru adat), consisting of Village Head and two forest security officers (pecalang). The results prove that the presence of awig-awig as a local law has the potential and power to play a very effective role in preserving the forest, which is a commodity whose care is entrusted to the community. The existence of awig-awig binds and demands every member of society to uphold all the provisions in it. The results of this study provide a conclusion that local law as a law created and established by the community has a more promising positive effect on the protection of society itself and its environment, including forest areas.
