The possibility and mode of registering Adat title on land

Soesangobeng, Herman

Land policy and management and registration in Indonesia, should be developed based on the theory and system of adat (customary) land law. It should also translate the basic norm of article 33 (3) of the 1945 Constitution and article 5, 9 and 19 of BAL (Basic Agrarian Law) of 1960 into reality. In practice, however, many implementing laws and regulations are formulated based on the basic principles of the previous Dutch civil law on agrarian policy, property market and land administration system. Consequently, most of the implementing law and regulations regarding land policy and management as well as registration and property market are formulated contradictory with the basic concern and goal of the 1945 Constitution and BAL of 1960.
