The status of the land which is converted into other Land Use, the coordinate point, or the forest conversion borders are allocated for Other Land Use as regulated in the Decree No. 579/Menhut-II/2014, the reduction of forest is not supposed to reduce the old area that has long been occupied and managed by the society, either the land has title certificate or not, by either individual or limited liability company who has long occupied the land. Thus, the confusion about which land title has been registered and which will be creates confusion in the society. Keywords: Land Conversion, Forest and Cultivation Area
