<![CDATA[This study examines the legal implications of the Management Right (Hak Pengelolaan/HPL) scheme over ulayat land under Ministerial Regulation of ATR/BPN Number 14 of 2024, particularly the granting of Right to Build, Right to Cultivate, or Right to Use to third parties. It asks whether the scheme strengthens or erodes the communal control of customary law communities (masyarakat hukum adat/MHA) over their land. This normative legal research uses statute, conceptual, and case approaches and analyzes legal materials qualitatively through Friedman's legal system theory. The findings show that (1) the regulation recognizes ulayat land through administration and registration as HPL or communal ownership, and land not submitted for HPL remains ulayat land; (2) the risk to communal control arises mainly from the design of derivative rights granted to third parties, namely dependence on contracts, weak consent, repeated extensions, and loss of communal character through transfer or encumbrance; and (3) the Rempang case and HPL certificates issued to MHA show that legal certainty for investors does not automatically extend to communities. The study concludes that the scheme needs free, prior, and informed consent, compliance-based extension approvals, clear reversion clauses, and an active role for notaries and land deed officials.]]>
