Human need for land has influenced land use behavior and is an acute problem in many regions. Many areas have changed their original function in order to sustain human life, one of which causes forests to be converted into settlements, plantation and agricultural areas as well as mining areas. However, often the converted land is customary land in the form of forests and not a few that have long been disputed. In the era of independence, the government recognized that customary land belonged to the state. In its implementation, customary land is recognized by the government but its ownership rights are not. The indigenous people are only allowed to manage it. This study aims to categorize solutions that can be used in resolving land-use conflicts over customary lands. This study used the traditional review method with secondary data obtained from appropriate and relevant sources. Customary land is recognized in Indonesian law through UUPA No. 5 of 1960. The highest right to land owned or controlled by community members and its implementation is regulated by customary / village elders called ulayat rights, but provided that its existence and implementation still exist. In cases that occur in various countries, there are various kinds of implementation irregularities caused by excessive usage patterns or not according to the main purpose of their use. In Indonesia, irregularities in the implementation of the Law on indigenous peoples to manage their land are often found. Even some government policies are still detrimental to society. Therefore, in resolving customary land conflicts, one must look at various angles and see the history of disputed land, and can refer to several cases that have occurred in other countries. The categorization of land-use conflict solutions can be viewed from the point of view of the resolution process, the distribution of use of customary land use for indigenous peoples in conflict, what changes in land use have occurred according to procedures or not, mapping is needed to avoid vertical conflicts. and horizontally, and the involvement of the disputing parties, as well as based on ownership rights over customary land.

Land has a very important meaning in human life, because most of human life depends on the land. There is a close correlation between man and the land and there is no human in this world who does not need the land. The land is not only understood as an economic resource, but for others it sees the land as sacred and one of the indigenous peoples of Papua must preserve. So with the government policy to allocate land for public interest often conflict with the interest of indigenous people of Papua. Related to the procurement of land is regulated in Law No. 2 of 2012 on Land Procurement for Development for Public Interest. The focus of this research is how to recognize and regulate land rights of indigenous and tribal peoples for the public interest in Papua and how are the legal effects on customary land rights for indigenous and tribal peoples in Papua? By using normative research methods it can be concluded that the recognition and regulation of indigenous peoples' rights to land as customary rights in accordance with the provisions of the Basic Agrarian Law, the Law on Special Autonomy and Law No. 6 of 2014 on Villages, is recognized Of its existence and use in accordance with applicable provisions in indigenous and tribal peoples. However, in practice it is often not in accordance with the provisions in force in Indonesia, so as not to provide justice and legal certainty.The legal consequences of customary law community land acquisition for public interest are the form of indemnity for indigenous and tribal peoples through the agreed mechanism and the transfer of land rights of customary law community to the government.

In a legal state, land has a very important role in human life. It can determine the existence and the sustainability of legal actions. In its development, the government or private sector companies provide Official Residences to their employees, or what may be called a state house. Based on the law, the Official Residence is a building owned by the state, and functions as a residence or a dwelling. It serves as a developmental facility for families and supports the job implementation of officials and/or government employees. The humans’ need for land as a place of dwelling may cause conflicts regarding the provision of the Official Residence. The method used in this research is the juridical-normative method. It uses secondary data. The ownership rights transfer of the Official Residence to private sectors may happen without violation of the constitution, as it is regulated in the Presidential Decree No. 11 of 2008 which states that the tenant may own the Official Residence with some conditions. For example, the house must be an Official Residence Group III. The rightful tenant must file a request to its related Department. Then, the tenant and the related department create a Lease Agreement. After the tenant settles the debt, he/she may own the house.

Based on archival sources, the author analyzes the situation of the indigenous peoples of the Okhotsk-Kolyma territory during the Great Patriotic War. The government continued to implement paternalistic social policies: the development of housing and social infrastructure in the areas where indigenous peoples live, improvement of medical care and education, and vocational training. It is shown that most indigenous peoples, involved with collective farming worked disciplinedly and responsibly in areas related to traditional nature management (reindeer herding, fishing, fur hunting). With their labor and personal donations, the indigenous people made a feasible contribution to the victory. The indigenous peoples also fought on the front and served in the rear troops.

Marine and coastal area management is necessary to be operated comprehensively and sustainable. The existence of indigenous peoples and traditional society has a role in the marine and coastal areas management, but the legislation has not been fully giving more protection in its management. Economic base development, generally often ignore local society wisdom, so that a clean environment is being polluted as a result of that waiver. Development that materialistic value oriented, only the physical build that actually provide benefits to investors and not the community itself. What kind of justice that ideally obtained by indigenous and traditional peoples to achieve justice that bring prosperity? The government has neglected and must fix the policies in the legislation as a foundation for development without neglecting the indigenous people themselves. Equitable development not just physically, but sustainable development to preserve nature by observing local society wisdom that have taken place to the next. The government still considered neglectful for environmental management.

Agriculture is the mainstay of Pakistan’s economy. However, it has been noticed that farmers are increasingly giving up agriculture in favor of non-agricultural activities. This study was conducted in the Khairpur district of Sindh province, which is part of the Indus Plains in Pakistan. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the current and future land use change (LUC) trends and to study farmers’ perceptions of the causes and consequences of LUC and agricultural land abandonment (ALA) in the study area. The study used field survey data and secondary data obtained from the government sources. The results show that agricultural land in the region has decreased by about 9% in the past two decades. Survey data analysis confirms this because more than 80% of farmers believe that agricultural land in the area has declined over time. In addition, farmers believe that socioeconomic and environmental changes are the main reasons for LUC and ALA. We used a logistic regression model to determine the factors that influence farmers’ decisions to sell agricultural land for other uses. The results show that the age, income, land ownership, farm inheritance by successors, social networks and lack of basic facilities in the study area are the main determinants of farmers’ decisions to sell agricultural lands. In particular, farmers’ integration into the social network and their belief that the farm will be inherited by heirs reduces the possibility of selling land. As for the consequences of LUC and ALA, the results indicate that farmland prices, weeds infestation, urban diffusion, and pressure on existing infrastructure have increased in the study area. In addition, the results show that the prospects of farming in the area remain grim as most farmers indicated that they were willing to abandon agricultural lands in favor of other revenue generation activities. The study suggests that policymakers should pay close attention to controlling rapid LUC and ALA to keep lands green.

This study examine how covid-19 has induced social changes and criminality in Nigeria as a result of economic lockdown, restriction on inter-state movement, closure of international borders, restriction of religious worship, restrictions on all forms of marital rites, ban on all burial and funeral activities, suspension of all educational activities, and social interactions replaced by social distancing. Due to this alteration of the normal human life, and since survival is key, hence the issue of criminality. This paper examined cases of criminality in the country during lockdown, government interventions to mitigate the increase in criminality as a result of the pandemic, implication of covid-19 on fashion, determinant, forms and resistance to social change. The paper is qualitative in nature and relied principally on secondary data to achieved the scope of the study, these includes publications sourced from text books, bulletins, journals, government documents, newspapers and internet. The conflict and conspiracy theory of social change was adopted as the theoretical framework for the study. The findings in this study showed that the government with the aim to mitigate the spread of the pandemic in the country restricted the movement of its citizens with compulsory sit-at-home, thus affecting the normal life of its citizens, government intervention at the federal, state and local level is grossly inadequate to cushion the effect of the epidemic on the vulnerable citizens of the country, several structural factors helped triggered Nigeria’s current economic crises such as poor public health infrastructure, institutional corruption, weak and underdeveloped digital economy, lack of social welfare programme, leadership problem, over-dependent on oil sector of the economy, lack of saving culture and, high debt profile of Nigeria. The paper recommends that government should create an enabling environment to increase the standard of living of its citizens as poverty fuels criminality, the government should not politicalize the distribution of relief materials to victims in the face of emergencies, since the protection of the welfare and well-being of the people is the reason for governance, need for good governance and the rule of law, and government should improve capacity-building strategies for adequate security of life and property in Nigeria.

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.
