Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the regulation of Right to Cultivate (HGU) on ulayat (customary) land in West Sumatra from the perspective of Indonesia’s agrarian law, particularly Law No. 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles (UUPA). Ulayat land holds significant historical, cultural, and social value for the Minangkabau indigenous community; however, in practice, the granting of HGU often neglects legitimate customary mechanisms. This research employs a normative-legal and empirical approach, focusing on case studies in Pasaman Barat and Supreme Court Decision No. 749PK/Pdt/2011. Findings reveal that agrarian conflicts frequently arise due to inconsistencies between national and customary law, unclear boundaries of ulayat land, and weak legal protection for the collective rights of indigenous peoples. The practice of issuing HGU without proper customary consultation has resulted in the loss of economic access, cultural identity, and social structures within indigenous communities. The study recommends integrating customary law into the national land administration system through strengthened local regulations, participatory mapping, and substantive legal recognition of ulayat rights. Keywords: Right to Cultivate, Ulayat Land, Minangkabau Customary Law.
