The initial model of integration of the customary land tenure system into Indonesian land tenure system : the case of Kasepuhan Ciptagelar, West Java, Indonesia
Abdulharis, Rizqi et al
The customary land tenures have become the backbone of sustainable environmental management for centuries. The land tenure is defined as the manner in which rights in land are held that defined by a broad set of rules determined by laws or custom (Dale and McLaughlin, 1999). The customary land tenure has been proofed for being able to preserve the quality of life of indigenous people, while on the other hand the customary land tenure system has also been able to preserve the environmental sustainability. Unfortunately, even though the Indonesian land tenure system, in which established on 1960, was formulated based on the Indonesian customary land tenure system, the legal assurance of the customary land could still not be guaranteed by the Government of Republic of Indonesia. Thus, within the study that is highlighted by this paper, the effort on the assimilation of the customary land tenure system in Indonesia into the national land tenure system is initiated. Kasepuhan Ciptagelar, one of the few customary communities in mostly modernised West Java, Indonesia, has been chosen as the case study area. Besides its modernised surroundings, Kasepuhan Ciptagelar is also well-known for its semi nomadic way of life. This is differing from most customary communities in Java Island, which have been settled in specific places for centuries.
