Land management and community involvement are two main elements in ensuring the absence of conflict between landowners and agencies. Disputes between owners and agencies will be the biggest obstacle in the land development effort. Therefore, this article aims to address the cause of landowners’ objections against land alienation using the institutional approach. To enable the researchers to understand the root causes of landowners' objections against the alienation of land using the Communal Grant method, the institutional approach has been adopted to identify the issue of the objection. Therefore, questionnaires for 100 landowners were distributed in two villages in Semporna district in Sabah. The purpose is to obtain their views on the cause leading to the dispute of land alienation using the Communal Grant method. The Likert scale was used to enable community rankings on issues that can be understood according to the level of seriousness of the population's views on the issue of using Communal Grants in native customary land alienation. The study results explain that there are four factors that drive objection of the Communal Grant land alienation which involves the formal factors. The findings explained that there are 4 formal provisions which lead to the community's objection against Communal Grants, namely the native customary lands (NCR) act, provision of Communal Grants, provisions in the land ownership and land allocation in Sabah Land Ordinance.Due to numerous objections among native customary peoples concerning the native customary land alienation using Communal Grants, the government has acted in substitution with a fair method of individual ownership for the native customary peoples. This situation explains that disputes in land ownership can be a threat to the country if it cannot be resolved in ways and methods acceptable to the native customary community. This study will benefit the government and NGO’s to alert and focusing on barriers in the context of local community land laws. Communal grants are intended to address land issues in Sabah.

<strong>English</strong><br />Agribusiness regional development program carried out by the government does not empower farmers. This is due to limited community involvement in planning and implementation of the program. This paper is aimed at contributing policy recommendations on agribusiness regional development concepts in order to improve community involvement. One of the concepts is one village one product movement model. This model is initiated by the local community and facilitated by the government. Three principles of this model development are development of local specific commodity with international competitiveness, decisions and initiatives carried out by local community, and human resource development.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Program pengembangan wilayah agribisnis yang dilakukan pemerintah selama ini belum sepenuhnya dapat membuat petani lebih berdaya. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah masih terbatasnya pelibatan masyarakat dalam perencanaan maupun pelaksanaan program pengembangan. Tulisan ini dibuat untuk memberikan sumbang saran terhadap konsep pengembangan wilayah agribisnis yang lebih melibatkan masyarakat (petani) dalam pembangunan. Salah satu bentuk operasionalisasi konsep agribisnis yang dapat dikembangkan adalah model one village one product movement. Model ini merupakan kegiatan pengembangan wilayah yang aktivitasnya diinisiasi oleh penduduk lokal dan difasilitasi oleh pemerintah daerah. Tiga prinsip utama pengembangan model ini adalah (1) pengembangan komoditas unggulan daerah yang mampu bersaing di pasar internasional, (2) keputusan dan inisiatif dilakukan oleh penduduk lokal, dan (3) pengembangan sumberdaya manusia.

A possession of forest resources has been dominated by large employers with the strength of their capital, while the local community (in this case of indigenous people) who rely on forest resources for generations before this country stood, their fate was even more marginalized. In fact, the existence of indigenous people with local wisdom value, plays an important role in forest management, as recognized in Act No.41 of 1999 about Forestry. </em><em>Inequality of distribution of forest resources this mastery was seen as a base for real social conflict happens in the life of the community law. Furthermore it was published constitutional court’s verdict of RI No.35/PUU-X/2012 to provid e access to justice for indigenous people over the mastery of the forest. This recognition is strengthened by the existence of a REDD + Program aims to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation that requires the existence of a customary law society active participation through the empowerment of local wisdom values.</em></p>

<p><em>The demand for a democratic system of government in Indonesia is not only the demands of society but also constitutional demands. Therefore, regional autonomy is expected to be able to provide answers to both needs.

Decentralization policy can actually bring this nation into two possibilities, namelychallenges and hopes. This means that if regional autonomy is well managed then it will bringsociety to progress, prosperity that is aspired together. This is caused by public participation willget a broad space. The people will be able to collect responsibility for welfare from their regionalheads. When this critical power and control gets stronger the emergence of the door to abuse ofpower can be prevented. But on the contrary if this is not managed properly it will be able tobring disaster to the community. As one component of accountability to the public, the RegionalGovernment is expected to be able to optimize spending carried out effectively and efficiently toachieve a better level of community welfare. The government carries out three main functions,namely the first function of allocation, namely the government allocates funds for economicresources in the form of goods or services. The second function is the distribution function,namely the function of the government in an effort to carry out equitable development, incomeand wealth, in order to reduce the level of inequality. The third function is the stabilizationfunction, which is the function of the government which includes defense of security, economyand monetary to maintain broad employment opportunities, price stability and economic growth.Planning will not be able to produce development in accordance with the aspirations of thecommunity if it cannot optimize community participation in the process of preparing the plan.Without utilizing community participation in a good and directed manner, the plans arrangedcannot be adjusted to the aspirations and wishes of the community. Community participation inthe preparation of the APBD must be given sufficient space so that community involvement inthe process of managing the regional budget is maximized so that it can improve the efficiencyand effectiveness of development. Decentralization policy by granting autonomous rights todistrict / city governments provides opportunities for regional governments to design andimplement policies which is indeed needed by the local community. Regional autonomy hasbrought the government closer to the community in terms of services and involvement in alldevelopment activities. The district / city government as an autonomous region has been givenwider authority to explore the potential of the region and to channel it to the interests of thecommunity to its full potential in realizing a prosperous society.

This research aims to determine the causes of land-use conflicts and formulate  a participatory conflict resolution model of the Forest Management Unit (KPH) of Kulawi. Through interviews with respondents using the purposive sampling method. The study included the community around the forest area, local government, KPH, Department of Agriculture, BPDAS-HL, and local government. Data analysis was stakeholder's and land use conflict by using problem trees analysis. The study results show that the battle occurred not only because of the community's factor of accessing the area illegally but also because the KPH has not performed its function correctly. Some factors cause enforcement's failure, such as lack of understanding of the area and community empowerment. Some alternative solutions desired by the community: (1) The government through related agencies should supervise forest areas, (2) Clear boundaries between community-owned land, villages, and forest areas, (3) Community empowerment by utilizing potential forest product resources and (4) Granting management rights to community's forest claimed by the community. There are two models of conflict resolution to be offered. First, the KPH needs the collaboration of parties to resolve land-use conflicts.  Second, community involvement as the main subject is significant in every stage of conflict resolution. The KPH supports improving community capacity related to competence in conflict resolution is indispensable.

Natuna Island is one of the outer islands in Indonesia with under-development conditions due to its remote location. The government initiated to build fisheries industrialization and turning them into a growth center. So far, it is considered to only have affected their economic life. In fact, it also impacted the social life of their local community. However, differences in the characteristics of the people on small islands which are different from those on the main islands, may result in the destruction of endogenous social relations of the community by the industrialization process. This paper identifies the impact of exogenous development in the form of fisheries industrialization on the social life of the fisherman using the Social Impact Analysis (SIA) method. Sources of data were obtained from FGD with stakeholders, in-depth and semi-structured interviews, content analysis of related documents, as well as observations. From the study results, it is evident that there have been several negative impacts on fishing community due to fisheries industrialization. This impact results in the loss of social strength in the form of access to marine production bases. Local fishermen are driven out of their own sea areas, in the sense that their fishing grounds are used by other fishermen so that they have to change fishing locations. Second, there is no development of political power in the form of individual access to making decisions, voicing aspirations, and acting as a group because the established institution is only used as a formality to get assistance. Finally, fishermen's self-confidence has decreased because they continue to feel unsupported. The increasing number of new players in the sea area often adds to the fishermen's sense of inferiority. These changes seem to discourage the local community from supporting the implementation of the government development programs.
