Land Governance: Paradigm Shift in Tribal Land Records in Indo-Nepal Border

Author(s):

Land ownership is determined by the land title possessed by an individual and protects the rights of the owner. Due to the rampant growth in population and scarcity of land, mutation, unclear land titles, and prices are soaring and have led to benami transactions. Land documentation is not an easy task in India where different methods and departments are involved with a lack of efforts at bringing commonality into the system of land records. Therefore, to bring transparency, accountability, and efficiency in dealing with the cases of land disputes and associated litigation, there is an immediate need for compilation, maintenance, and updation of the land records to instill a sense of security among landowners. Therefore, the central theme of the article revolves around the hindrances and issues in an entire process, flaws in land records, poor updation of data, online mutation, and automatic flow of information. The adequacy of the updated land information can answer to disputes in boundary, unauthorized construction, permission related to land use, fraud registration of the property, and incomplete mutation and could lower the cost of transactions. The other multidimensions which are focused while understanding the land records in a tribal regime are tenure rights, disputes in common areas, customary rights, and acquisition of land by other communities.

The cost of publishing is hotly debated. Until the 1990s, publication was either free of charge, paid per page or per article, or covered partially or completely if subscribing to a journal or if a member of the academic society overseeing a journal. A major shift occurred in the early 2000s when new “Open Access” publishers made articles freely available for all to read and reuse, with article processing charges being covered by the author. This chapter discusses the paradigm shift and how it has changed the landscape of who pays for scientific publication.

Pengakuan pemerintah terhadap hukum adat masih setengah hati. Padahal, eksistensi hukum adat memiliki landasan konstitusional yang kuat dalam Pasal 18B ayat (2) UUD 1945. Tubrukan antara proyeksi pembangunan dari pemerintah, kepentingan masyarakat umum, beserta hak ulayat dari masyarakat adat, telah menimbulkan gesekan yang sangat rentan akan timbulnya konflik. Seperti halnya yang memicu terjadinya konflik yang memanas di dalam masyarakat sunda wiwitan atas sengketa lahan. Yang mana perlakuan Jaka yang mengklaim tanah adat menjadi tanah milik pribadi sebagai bentuk pelanggaran hukum adat dan kemudian ditambah dengan putusan PN Kuningan yang memanangkan permintaan Jaka atas hak milih tanah adat seluas 224 m2. Putusan PN tersebut dinilai cacat hukum dan tidak memperhatikan asal usul sejarah. Maka hal tersebut menimbulkan berbagai aksi perlawanan dari pihak kubu masyarakat adat Sunda Wiwitan untuk berusaha memperoleh kembali haknya atas tanah adat mereka. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini yaitu untuk menjelaskan latarbelakang terjadinya konflik dan pemicu terjadinya konflik dengan menggunakan teori identitas yang nantinya dapat dirumuskan resolusi konflik yang efektif. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan artikel ini yaitu menggunakan studi litelatur yang diperoleh dari jurnal,buku, dan berbagai macam berita. Hingga saat ini konflik yang bergulir belum menemukan kejelasan karena belum terdapat resolusi konflik yang jelas dan masih sampai kepada tahap digagalkannya proses eksekusi tanah adat seluas 224 m2oleh Pengadilan Negri Kuningan. Government recognition of customary law is still half-hearted. In fact, the existence of customary law has a strong constitutional foundation in Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution. Collisions between projected development from the government, the interests of the general public, along with customary rights from indigenous peoples, have created a very vulnerable friction in the emergence of conflict. As is the case that triggered a heated conflict in Sunda Wiwitan society over land disputes. Which is the treatment of Jaka who claimed customary land to be privately owned as a form of violation of customary law and then added with the Kuningan District Court decision to adopt Jaka's request for customary land rights of 225 m2. The Kuningan District Court ruling was deemed legally flawed and did not pay attention to the origin of history. So this caused various acts of resistance from the sides of the Sunda Wiwitan indigenous people to try to regain their rights to their customary lands. The purpose of writing this article is to explain the background of the occurrence of the conflict and the trigger for the occurrence of conflict by using identity theory which can later be formulated effective conflict resolution. The method used in writing this article is to use litelatur studies obtained from journals, books, and various kinds of news. Until now the rolling conflict has not yet found clarity because there is no clear conflict resolution and is still up to the stage where the process of execution of customary land of 225 m2 was thwarted by the Kuningan District Court.

As an implementation of welfare society, the government issued Law Number 5 of 1960 Article 19 paragraph (2) c, which provide the legal certainty of land rights for all Indonesians carried out through land registration. The land registration system adopted by Indonesia is negative land cadastre with positive tendency. The implementation of land registration provide the basis of state duty to produce land registration evidence, namely certificate, which is valid as a strong proof of rights. This certificate guarantees the correctness of physical data besides juridical data as long as it is not proven otherwise. Method: This legal research used Normative juridical method, with qualitative juridical data analysis. Results of the study: Negative land cadastre with positive tendency adopted by Indonesia currently does not guarantee legal certainty of land ownership and the community justice itself. This is indicated by the fact that there is still a phenomenon of land disputes, among the result of the issuance of overlapping. By using a legal cadastre-based domain approach, through an approach of extracting historical values of land and integrating the process of dialogue within the issuing of certificate; obtaining legal certainty and the community justice can be achieved. Conclusion: Negative land cadastre with positive tendency is still unable to manifest legal certainty of land ownership and community justice so it is appropriate that an adage states “the highest legal certainty, is the highest injustice”. Strengthening land registration system through the domain approach is an alternative option to manifest legal certainty and community justice.

The article provides a list and details the content of tasks solved within the forensic land survey and construction examinations assigned during trials on land disputes. Said tasks are classified by the type of conducted research.  The work of a forensic expert in a case begins with the establishment of presence (absence) of the object of examination (the existential task). At first, the presence of title, legal, and other documents for the disputed land and buildings (structures) located on it is established. In the absence of certain documents necessary for the study, the expert takes measures to replace them. When conducting field studies, the expert establishes the existence of civil dispute’s objects on the ground. After that, the expert solves the identification task – establishes the identity of these objects with their documentary display. It also should be identified to which specific class, kind, type the object belongs (addressing classification task) – it allows verifying the category of land and the type of permitted use of the disputed land; recognizing the kind, type, and functional purpose of the construction objects located on it.  The solution of the attributive task aims at identifying the properties of the objects under examination, which relate to its subject, the content of questions raised by the court before the expert. The solution of the situational task helps to establish the relative position of objects. The expert determines whether there is an intersection of the borders of adjacent plots, sets the distance from construction sites to the boundaries of the land. Particular attention is paid to structures that are sources of negative impact on the neighboring property. The position of the property regarding the zones with special conditions of the use is also to be determined. The purpose of addressing the diagnostic task is to ascertain the condition of the land in terms of possibility to use it for its intended purpose taking into account the type of permitted use and to determine the technical condition of construction objects located on the land plot. The cost task solution aims at determining the market, and other value of the land, the number of costs required to restore the land after being exposed to destructive natural and technogenic factors. The main direction of research when solving the transformative task is to ascertain the possibility and develop options for a real division of the land plot and the construction sites located on it between their owners following the conditions set by the court.

The results of this research are: (1) According to the Sawir Village Government, the land belongs to the Village Government as evidenced by the existence of a field map in the village C book. Meanwhile, according to the Tuban Regency Government, the Tuban Regency National Land Agency, and PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk, the land ownership is not registered and cannot be claimed as an asset of Sawir Village. According to Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Regulations on Agrarian Principles article 19 paragraph 1, the land cannot be referred to as land belonging to Sawir Village until the certification is completed on behalf of the village. And to get the ownership certificate, the Sawir Village Government must register or submit an application for ownership of the land to the National Land Agency of Tuban Regency. (2) According to the Islamic Covenant Law, the status of the land does not meet the requirements as an object of the agreement. This is because the land has not been legally proven to be owned by the Sawir Village Government. Whereas one of the main requirements for the validity of an agreement is that the object of the agreement must be legally owned by one of the parties who entered into the agreement.Keywords: Utilization, Non-Certified Land, Covenant Law, Customary Rights

Convolutional networks are at the center of best in class computer vision applications for a wide assortment of undertakings. Since 2014, profound amount of work began to make better convolutional architectures, yielding generous additions in different benchmarks. Albeit expanded model size and computational cost will, in general, mean prompt quality increases for most undertakings but, the architectures now need to have some additional information to increase the performance. We show empirical evidence that with the amalgamation of content-based image similarity and deep learning models, we can provide the flow of information which can be used in making clustered learning possible. We show how parallel training of sub-dataset clusters not only reduces the cost of computation but also increases the benchmark accuracies by 5-11 percent.

SummaryStakeholder preferences for the conservation of cacao agroforests are scarcely known. Here, a revealed preference model was used to estimate the value that smallholders place on the conservation of their cacao agroforests in coastal Ecuador. Variables in the model included plot-level data (the gender of those who owned and managed the plot, profit, land title and years of ownership) and household demographic data (ages, educational levels and wealth indicators). Households were willing to give up some profit to conserve agroforests especially if they had managed the plot longer. Furthermore, when women were included in the management of a plot, the household was more likely to conserve the cacao agroforest, but the gender of the person who owns the plot had no effect on the probability of conserving the agroforest. These findings provide further evidence of the gender differences in preferences for agroforests and that more inclusive land-use decisions may lead to the use of more sustainable farming practices. They also demonstrate that policies that encourage inclusive land ownership do not necessarily ensure equal gender participation in plot decision-making and management.
