Abstract

The phenomenon of rapid population growth and land conversion is what forms the background of this study. The Indonesian state does not only lose its agricultural land but also its farmers. This is the concern of the Government, including Local Governments, considering that agricultural land in its territory needs to be saved for food security and the needs of the next generations. Indonesia, including Jambi Province, will no longer have agricultural land and enough farmers in the future if this condition continues. Sungai Penuh of Jambi Province has been chosen as an object of study since this city is one of the main rice producers but suffering from agricultural land conversion. In realizing the goal, Legal policy is an option to implement because it binds not only the Local Government but also the community. That’s why it is important to protect agricultural land through a legal framework to ensure the availability of agricultural land. This article argues that the problem has to find ways by establishing local regulation to protect the sustainability of land and the prosperity of the farmers as well as by providing comprehensive incentive programs for those who conserve it.

Abstract

This study delves into an examination of the role played by local wisdom in the protection of forests. The recognition and acknowledgment of local wisdom, enshrined in customary law within the environments of indigenous peoples, encounters challenges, particularly when the legitimacy of customary law itself is in question, especially concerning forest protection. In addressing these concerns, a normative juridical approach was employed to scrutinize legal source materials. The findings of this research affirm that the recognition of indigenous peoples as legal entities, particularly under international law, necessitates collective consideration. Through this conceptual framework, indigenous peoples can assert their aspirations autonomously and even advocate for international policies aimed at safeguarding and upholding the rights of indigenous peoples globally, with predetermined terms and conditions. The study underscores the contribution of local wisdom to forest protection, exemplified by the formulation of customary forest concepts applicable to indigenous communities. Local wisdom has demonstrated efficacy in averting and mitigating forest damage, particularly within customary forest areas, owing to the steadfast adherence of indigenous peoples to the principles encapsulated in their customary law. Moreover, the effectiveness of local wisdom in forest preservation is bolstered by the intrinsic characteristics of traditional indigenous communities, fostering wise and sustainable forest management practices. The study posits that the normative nature of customary law, as a living legal entity, may face ineffectiveness, potentially jeopardizing its own existence. Nonetheless, it contends that the state should formally recognize the exclusivity of customary law through constitutional and legal frameworks, thereby fortifying the application and viability of customary law within predetermined geographical areas and communities designated by the government

Abstract

Living together as unmarried partners, commonly known as cohabitation or “kumpul kebo” in Indonesia, was not prohibited under the old Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP). However, in light of Indonesia’s cultural emphasis on decency, cohabitation has recently been criminalized. According to Article 412 paragraph (1) of the New KUHP, cohabitation is now considered a criminal offense, punishable by a maximum fine of thirty million rupiahs and imprisonment for up to six months. This legal development sparked significant reactions among university students, who voiced their concerns during protests against the New KUHP. Debates continue regarding the legality of cohabitation, prompting this study to investigate the perception among students in Jambi Province regarding its criminal status. The findings indicate that 55.3% of the 340 respondents from local universities believe cohabitation should not be illegal. They argue that ethical considerations are more pertinent, suggesting that societal and moral sanctions against offenders suffice. Those who contest such views may resort to customary law for civil proceedings against offenders they deem to have transgressed societal norms
