Abstract

This study examines land manipulation and land disputes between a corporation and the local people in West Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi, resulting in the loss of a legitimate land entitlement. The conflict reflects broader agrarian challenges in Indonesia, including overlapping land claims and weak administrative governance, as well as unequal power relations between plantation companies and local communities. Using NVivo 15 Plus, the study analyzes data from legal documents, government regulations, and media reports using word frequency and crosstabs analyses. Mediation accounted for 60% of dispute resolution efforts, whereas litigation and arbitration each represented 20%. The findings reveal that the Village Cooperative Units (KUD) rejected the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) scheme as a settlement mechanism because it lacks legal authority to substitute land ownership rights under Indonesia’s Basic Agrarian Law. The study concludes that land restitution through independent audits, the application of the enclave principle under Government Regulation concerning the Resolution of Inconsistencies in Spatial Planning, Forest Areas, Licenses, and/or Land Rights, and multi-stakeholder oversight provides the most legally sound and socially just solution. Accordingly, the study offers a key contribution by proposing a collaborative land restitution model integrating administrative legal mechanisms, local government intervention, corporate accountability, and community participation to strengthen the governance of cultivation rights (HGU) and resolve plantation land conflicts.

Abstract

Excellent public service is a mandate of the Village Law No. 6 of 2014 to accelerate the achievement of general welfare in village communities. Standards of superior service that are transparent, accountable, effective, and efficient can be realized through the utilization of applications and information and communication technology (ICT), commonly referred to as e-government. The digital village program is one initiative to implement village information systems. This community service activity applied a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, fostering collaboration and enhancing stakeholders’ understanding of the importance of digital villages. The program was conducted by lecturers from UIN Sultan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi under the Kukerta Mandiri MBKM–Internship–Lecturer Community Service Conversion program, focusing on “Digital Village” in Simpang Sungai Duren Village, Jaluko District, Muaro Jambi Regency. As an initial implementation step, villages were assisted in activating and managing official websites with the desa.id domain, as well as Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube accounts as channels for information and village profile video updates, serving as digital-based information and service media. The results indicate that, despite existing limitations, the potential for villages to evolve into digital villages remains vast and can be further developed toward greater progress.
