Abstract

This research focuses on the dynamics of the patrilineal-based customary inheritance system in the Metinaro Sub-District, Dili Municipality, by examining how these inheritance practices shape social structures, reinforce patriarchal dominance, and create gender inequality. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and a literature review of customary and academic sources. The results show that the inheritance system in Metinaro not only transfers physical assets such as land and traditional houses to sons, but also bequeaths socio-spiritual responsibilities recognized through customary rites and the legitimacy of traditional figures. In contrast, women experience structural subordination, with limited access to family assets and merely symbolic involvement in the inheritance process. However, initiatives for change are beginning to emerge among the younger generation, proposing a more inclusive inheritance model, influenced by education, national law Law Number 10 of 2011/Timor-Leste's civil code in article 1888 (Ideas) Succession refers to one or more people who legally own the inheritance of a deceased person to be distributed to others. And modern values. The implications of this research indicate the importance of intergenerational dialogue and the active involvement of traditional leaders as agents of cultural transformation to create a more just and contextual inheritance system.

Abstract

Forest and land fires (karhutla) in East Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi Province, remain a serious problem despite being regulated by Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management and the Forestry Law. This research aims to analyze the implementation of law enforcement against perpetrators of forest and land fires and to identify the obstacles faced by the East Tanjung Jabung Police. The method used is empirical legal with a sociological, legislative, and conceptual approach, thru interviews, observation, and literature study. The data was analyzed descriptively and qualitatively to describe the suitability between legal norms and their implementation in the field. The research results show that law enforcement has proceeded according to procedure, but still focuses on individual perpetrators, while corporations are rarely penalized. The main obstacles include limited evidence, weak inter-agency coordination, a shortage of environmental investigators, and low public legal awareness. The application of the principle of strict liability is also not yet optimal. This research concludes that the effectiveness of forest and land fire law enforcement requires strengthening cross-sectoral coordination, increasing the capacity of law enforcement officers, and providing legal education to the public in order to achieve firm and just law enforcement.
