Abstract

Social change, increasing land values, and the complexity of land administration have influenced how rural communities resolve land disputes. Informal mechanisms such as deliberation and local mediation increasingly interact with administrative procedures and formal litigation. This study aims to examine changing patterns of land dispute resolution among rural communities in Banyuwangi Regency and to identify factors contributing to shifts from community-based mechanisms toward formal institutions. The research employs a socio-legal approach through interviews with community members, village officials, mediators, and law-enforcement actors, complemented by analysis of land-related documents and regulations. The study argues that the shift toward formal dispute resolution does not necessarily indicate the decline of local law but may reflect changes in the nature of disputes and growing demands for formal legal certainty. Nevertheless, formal mechanisms may become less effective when costs, procedural duration, and information requirements exceed the capacity of local communities. An effective dispute-resolution system should therefore connect local mechanisms with formal institutions through clear referral, mediation, documentation, and oversight arrangements. Such integration can enhance access to justice while preserving the social functions of community-based dispute resolution. The study offers a framework for understanding legal transition in rural land governance.

Abstract

Nunukan Regency occupies a strategic position in migrant mobility because of its geographical characteristics as a border region. Cross-border migration creates economic opportunities but also increases exposure to exploitation, trafficking, undocumented migration, and limited access to legal protection. This study aims to examine legal protection for migrant workers originating from Nunukan Regency, particularly during recruitment, departure, placement, and return. The research adopts a socio-legal approach by combining regulatory analysis with empirical research involving migrant workers, families, local government institutions, and relevant agencies. The study argues that migrant-worker protection cannot rely exclusively on national legislation because vulnerabilities often emerge from socio-economic conditions in the area of origin and the distinctive characteristics of border regions. Stronger protection requires inter-agency coordination, recruitment monitoring, accessible information, complaint mechanisms, and reintegration measures for returning workers. Local governments play a particularly important role in developing community-based protection before workers leave their communities. The study conceptualizes labor migration as both a legal and social issue requiring cross-sectoral and rights-based governance. Strengthening protection at the local level may reduce vulnerabilities before they become transnational legal problems and improve the continuity of protection throughout the migration cycle.

Abstract

The expansion of electronic commerce has increased rural communities’ access to a wide range of digital products and services. At the same time, online transactions create risks involving fraud, non-conforming goods, personal-data misuse, and limited access to complaint mechanisms. This study aims to examine digital consumers’ legal awareness in rural communities in Tabanan Regency and to evaluate the effectiveness of available legal-protection mechanisms. The research adopts a socio-legal approach using surveys and interviews with consumers, business actors, and relevant local stakeholders. A normative analysis is also conducted to examine consumer rights and business obligations in electronic transactions. The study argues that gaps in digital consumer protection are caused not only by regulatory limitations but also by inadequate digital legal literacy, limited access to reliable information, and consumers’ reluctance to use complaint mechanisms perceived as complicated. Strengthening protection therefore requires contextual legal education, simplified complaint procedures, and greater involvement of local governments and community organizations. Digital legal literacy can serve as a preventive instrument for reducing consumer losses while simultaneously strengthening rural communities’ capacity to participate safely and confidently in the digital economy. The study highlights the importance of connecting formal consumer law with everyday digital practices at the local level.

Abstract

The growing older population creates new demands for legal and social policies at the local level. Older persons may experience multiple vulnerabilities, including limited access to public services, social security, health care, protection from neglect, and participation in community life. This study aims to examine the implementation of legal protection for older persons in Kulon Progo Regency and to identify gaps between normative policies and community experiences. The research adopts a socio-legal approach combining regulatory analysis with interviews involving older persons, family members, local government officials, and social-service providers. Legal protection is examined through human-rights principles, access to public services, and local-government responsibilities. The study argues that protection for older persons should move beyond a charitable approach toward a rights-based and empowerment-oriented framework. Problems may arise when policies focus predominantly on social assistance while overlooking autonomy, participation, dignity, and protection from neglect. Local policies should strengthen complaint mechanisms, service accessibility, safeguards against neglect and abuse, and meaningful participation of older persons in policy formulation. Such an approach would promote more inclusive legal protection and ensure that ageing is addressed not merely as a social-welfare issue but as a matter of rights, dignity, and equal citizenship. The study contributes to discussions on local implementation of rights-based social protection.

Abstract

Customary law continues to play an important role in regulating social relations and resolving conflicts within indigenous communities. Despite the increasing complexity of the state legal system, customary mechanisms remain relevant because of their social legitimacy and close connection to community values. This study aims to examine the role of customary law in resolving social conflicts among indigenous communities in Sikka Regency and to analyze its relationship with the state legal system. The study employs a socio-legal approach informed by the concepts of living law and legal pluralism. Data are collected through interviews with customary leaders, community members, local government officials, and other actors involved in conflict resolution. The study argues that the effectiveness of customary law derives not only from its normative rules but also from social acceptance, the authority of customary leaders, and the capacity of customary mechanisms to restore relationships between disputing parties. Nevertheless, customary practices require appropriate boundaries when they intersect with human rights, the interests of vulnerable groups, and national legal standards. Recognition of customary law should therefore be accompanied by institutional dialogue between customary norms and state law. Such an approach can strengthen community-based conflict resolution while maintaining equality, human rights, and legal accountability. The study contributes to contemporary debates on living law and plural legal orders in Indonesia.
