Abstract

This article examines whether mukim customary law communities are entitled to control customary forests, without conflicting with existing villages, while customary forests have traditionally been controlled by mukim and their customary law communities in Pidie Regency Aceh Province, Indonesia. The government has not recognized the proposed mukim forest as it potentially leads to conflict between customary institutions. This study describes such a dynamic for better understanding and finding a way to future solutions. The customary forest proposal by the Mukim has yet to receive formal government recognition. This study used socio-legal research methods. Data was obtained through observations and interviews with imuem mukim, traditional leaders in several mukims, i.e. Paloh mukim, Kunyet Mukim, and Beungga Mukim, in Pidie Regency. This article showed that the recognition of mukim customary forests in Pidie Regency has not received formal recognition from the government. Therefore, new efforts to propose the recognition of mukim as a Customary Law Community known as Masyarakat Hukum Adat/MHA) especially in Pidie Regency needs to be done by all stakeholders.

Abstract

The role of the Mukim institution, as a unique customary body under the Aceh special autonomy system, in managing customary forests has been a subject of debate. The limitations and challenges faced by Mukim in fulfilling its responsibilities, particularly in light of contemporary environmental and legal pressures, remain unclear. This study employs a doctrinal-empirical investigation, utilizing a literature review and interviews with respondents and informants. The empirical research was conducted in Mukim Lampanah, Seulimeum District, and Mukim Blang Mee, Lhoong District, both situated in Aceh Besar Regency. The findings indicate that the Mukim holds a position of authority in the governance of customary forests, playing a crucial role in the management and oversight of natural resources within their designated territories. They possess the authority to designate customary forests. However, their capacity to meet these responsibilities is hampered by a lack of personnel within the Mukim institution and limited engagement from local administrations, particularly in terms of policy support and collaborative forest management efforts. Additionally, their efforts often conflict with national forestry management policies. To enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of forest management, it is essential to establish stronger collaboration and coordination mechanisms between the Mukim and government forestry agencies. This would facilitate better alignment of policies and improve overall forest governance.
