Abstract

Indonesia is an agriculture country because most of the population of Indonesia has a livelihood in agriculture. The Indonesian National Goals as set out in the opening of the 1945 Constitution of The Republic of Indonesia are to protect the entire of Indonesia as a Nation and all of Indonesia's bloodshed and to improve the public welfare. From these objectives, the Indonesian Government seeks to advance people's welfare in all sectors, one of them is in the agricultural sector. Communities in Indonesia have the right to own land according to land regulation and can manage the land through agriculture, plantations, and others. Land use, especially social forest areas by the community, often creates land conflicts. The existence of land conflicts arising from the failure of the State in the realization of the Indonesian Agrarian Law which enacted in the New Order era, which raises various agrarian issues in Indonesia. This agrarian problem actually happened since the colonial era, with the provision of cheap land and labor, and the people were forced to surrender their agricultural products and gardens to colonizers both in the Dutch and Japanese colonies. As it developed, The Indonesian Agrarian Law provided space for citizens to obtain ownership rights to land. But in the 1990s to reform, Indigenous Peoples, in this case, were forest village communities who inhabit forest land, abandoned land protected by the Indonesian Agrarian Law was increasingly marginalized and forest village communities experienced discrimination in social forest management. The community considers that the State does not side with the people, because the State is considered to give more space to the Indonesia National Land Official Agency and Indonesia Official Agency for Forest Affair (Perhutani) and The Company which has the land use rights, so that the hope of agrarian reform is far from ideal because conflicts still arise between citizens and companies and the Government. Therefore it is necessary to reform the legal framework relating to land use permits with land and forestry regulations regarding social forest management for forest village communities.
