THE THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE EXISTING AGRICULTURAL LAND TENURE AND LAND OWNERSHIP IMPROVEMENT

This study attempted to uncover the factors that influence preferences of the poor farming households for the attributes of Payment for environmental services (PES) in the Oyo State farm settlement Nigeria. Educational attainment, age of the respondents, previous knowledge of PES, land tenure, provision of micro credit, number of dependents, marital status and main occupation of the respondents. Dependent variable is preference for PES attributes.A multi-stage sampling technique was employed for this study.This study used exclusively Primary data.Which were collected through the use of a well-structured questionnaires and interview schedule for the literate and non-literate farmers respectivelyTotal sample of 395 out of 547respondents (i.e.72%) were drawn cumulatively. The regression results showed that previous knowledge of PES and provision of microcredit are significant at 5% each, while land ownership right is significant at 10% in the educational poverty group. In the consumption poverty group, previous knowledge of PES is significant at 5%, while land ownership right is positively significant at 1%, respectively. Housing/living standard poverty group; previous knowledge of PES and land ownership rights are significant at 5% each. From the findings of this study, it implies that if micro credit facilities are provided to these poor farming households, they will be willing to conserve the environmental resources (i.e. agricultural land). It therefore suggests that a well thought institutional arrangement with PES in view could be put up to enhance natural resource conservation and by extension reduction of poverty.

Abstract There is a vivid imbalance in farm land domination. This emerge conflict in almost Indonesia territory. Structuring the ownership or control of land has been started since the Act Numebr 5 of 1960 as the reference in the structuring of the agricultural land holdings in Indonesia. However, what is hoped and be the justification reason the act seems has not shown as demanded. Based on Decree of Head of BPN RI Number 34 of 2007 on Technical Guidelines for Handling and Resolution of Land Issues, land conflicts arise regarding the issue of tenure, ownership, use or utilization of the plot of land. The enactment of Law No. 18 of 2004 on Plantations also open conflicts between farmers and plantation companies. Conflict occurs when the plantation is difference between one or more people or groups of people with plantation companies relating to land tenure estates. There are several factors that cause conflict, especially agricultural land tenure plantation land, namely: (1) inequality of agricultural land holdings; (2) there is a vagueness setting land rights; (3) wasteland physically; and (4) overlapping land ownership. Recalling the complexity of the conflict over land, land conflict resolution should be based not only on purely formal legal approach but also through other approaches such as economic, social and cultural.

The Impact

<p>In Tunisia the main objective of sustainable agriculture is to improve agricultural systems by creating more wealth and meeting the needs of the population without compromising those of future generations. It turned out that confusion and lack of clarity of ownership status of agricultural land would lead to instability in agricultural sustainability by having a negative impact on social and economic prosperity and environment preservation. Within this environmental concern, the current research constitutes an assessment of the level of sustainability of different farms in Tunisia where problems of land ownership still exist. The current research is based on the Farm Sustainability Indicators method (standing for: <em>‘Indicateurs de durabilité des exploitations agricoles </em>or IDEA). This case study employed IDEA method which provides operational content to compare the sustainability concept at the farm level, based on the factor of ‘land tenure status’. In Tunisia, the lack of clear land ownership affects the output of agriculture that is why it is valuable to assess the impact of land properties status on farms’ agricultural sustainability. Hence, we distinguished two groups of farms: Private Farms (PF) (inherited from father to son) and Farming Enhancement Corporation (FEC) (state’s lands leased by farmers for many years). The results showed that land tenure has impact on farms sustainability. PF are more sustainable on both agro-ecological scale (49.2) and socio-territorial scale (48); compared to FEC (agro-ecological: 44.5 and socio-territorial: 46). PF favor integrated systems and the production of field crops and fodder crops and they attach greater importance to their employees’ training.</p>

Abstract: There is inequality for land tenure and land ownership in Indonesia in recent decades. The Gini Index can be used to see the level of inequality in the distribution of land tenure and land ownership. The purpose of this research is to determine the distribution of land tenure and land ownership of agricultural land, the level of inequality, and the influencing factors. This research uses qualitative methods with case study strategies. The results of this study are in Ngungkal, in the largest class of land tenure and land ownership, 13.875 m² of agricultural land is only owned by 1 farmer family (0.59% of the total sample). In the smallest class, 13.766 m² of agricultural land is owned by 126 farmer families (11.30% of the total sample). In the largest class of land tenure and land ownership in Talok, 5.532 m² of agricultural land is owned by 1 farmer family (1,89% of the total sample), while on the smallest class 7.583 m² of agricultural land is owned by 29 farmer families (22,64% of the total sample). Gini Index in land tenure and land ownership of agricultural land in Ngungkal and Talok is high, namely 0.72 in Ngungkal and 0.52 in Talok. The small size of agricultural land owned by farmer families due to land fragmentation through legal actions in the form of buying and selling and grants, as well as legal events in the form of inheritance. Fragmentation of agricultural land in Nglegok Village causes the “gurem” effect on farm families, where the size of agricultural land which is initially small becomes even smaller.Keywords: agricultural land, inequality, gini index, gurem. Intisari: Ketimpangan penguasaan dan pemilikan terjadi di Indonesia dalam beberapa dekade terakhir. Indeks Gini dapat digunakan untuk melihat tingkat ketimpangan distribusi penguasaan dan pemilikan tanah di suatu wilayah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui distribusi penguasaan dan pemilikan tanah pertanian, tingkat ketimpangannya dan faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan strategi studi kasus. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah di Dusun Ngungkal, di kelas terbesar penguasaan dan pemilikan tanah, 13.875 m² lahan pertanian hanya dimiliki oleh 1 keluarga petani (0,59% dari total sampel). Di kelas terkecil, 13.766 m² tanah pertanian dimiliki oleh 126 keluarga petani (11,30% dari total sampel). Di kelas terbesar kepemilikan tanah dan kepemilikan tanah di Dusun Talok, 5.532 m² tanah pertanian dimiliki oleh 1 keluarga petani (1,89% dari total sampel), sedangkan pada kelas terkecil, tanah pertanian seluas 7.583 m² dimiliki oleh 29 keluarga petani (22,64% dari total sampel). Indeks Gini penguasaan dan pemilikan tanah pertanian di Ngungkal dan Talok tergolong tinggi, yaitu 0,72 di Ngungkal dan 0,52 di Talok. Kecilnya luas tanah pertanian yang dimiliki kepala pertani akibat adanya fragmentasi tanah melalui perbuatan hukum berupa jual beli dan hibah, serta peristiwa hukum berupa pewarisan. Fragmentasi tanah pertanian di Desa Nglegok menyebabkan efek guremisasi pada keluarga petani, dimana luas tanah pertanian yang pada awalnya sudah kecil menjadi semakin kecil lagi.Kata kunci: tanah pertanian, ketimpangan, indeks gini, gurem.

Agricultural land that is owned by a cord (Absentee) is legally prohibited. Because the ownership of the Absentee-owned Agricultural Land distances the ideals and spirit of land reform as the basic rule of every National Agrarian law. Absentee land tenure is prohibited because it can restore a very detrimental Landlord system especially to local farmers residing in Absentee land. True agricultural land should be utilized and done in an effort to meet the productivity that will raise the economy nationally. However, Government Regulation No. 4 of 1977 concerning Agricultural Land Ownership by Clothes (Absentee) for Retired Civil Servants states that "a Servant within 2 (two) years preceding retirement allowed to buy agricultural land in guntai (absentee) covering an area of up to 2/5 of a part the maximum limit of land tenure for the relevant Level II Regions. ". Is the ban on the ownership of farmland in a strand (Absentee) applies to all the people of Indonesia ?. The prohibition of land ownership does not apply to Civil Servants State From the provisions of the law above can be concluded that Civil Servants (PNS) can have Absentee land because it is considered Civil Servants have been credited as a driver of the state system. However, with the conditions set forth in the legislation. Civil Servants or Retired Civil Servants who have farmland by hand (Absentee) can make a profit-sharing system as an effort to manage the absentee land to be more productive again by sticking to the prevailing laws and regulations.

Rural Java areas underwent significant changes during the last 20 years due to increasing education and health level and improving transportation and communication infrastructure, but researches on agricultural transformation, especially rice farming in Java, was limited. This study aimed at understanding the structure of land ownership and tenure, and the changing of land tenure institutional system in wetland farming, in its relation to the contemporary demographic change in the Javanese rural areas. The research was conducted in Kauman Village, Klaten Regency, Central Java. There were 307 farmer households in the village. The samples of 52 farmer households were taken randomly. Data collection used questionnaires and in-depth interviews with 52 respondents and 6 key informants. The analysis was carried out by comparing the data before the green revolution and 2016 data. The results of the study were as follows. Firstly, the number of landless farmers was very large (60 percent). Despite the green revolution, the proportion of this group had been already high before the green revolution program was intensified. Secondly, the level of land ownership disparity was moderate and tended toward equity due to the continuity of land ownership fragmentation through land inheritance processes, and no land ownership concentration occurred on the basis of agricultural land purchase. Thirdly, the level of inequality of land tenure was moderate and even close to low, and tended toward equity as the number of land tenants was much greater than the land owners. Fourthly, the bargaining position of the land tenants tended to be stronger than the land owners due to the declining attraction of agricultural work as a source of employment.

Untuk menjadikan masyarakat tani yang adil dan makmur maka pemerintah melalui program landreform yang meliputi perombakan mengenai kepemilikan dan penguasaan tanah serta hubungan-hubungan hukum yang bersangkutan dengan penguasaan tanah. Sesuai dengan Pasal 10 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria telah mengamanahkan terkait larangan kepemilikan atas tanah pertanian secara absentee. Dengan adanya ketentuan tersebut diharapkan para pemegang hak atas tanah pertanian dapat mengusahakan atau mengerjakan sendiri tanah yang dimilikinya sehingga tanah-tanah pertanian memang menjadi produktif dan tidak terdapat tanah pertanian yang di biarkan atau absentee. Tujuan larangan absentee agar hasil yang diperoleh dari pengusahaan tanah sebagian besar dapat dinikmati oleh masyarakat desa tempat letak tanah. Fenomena larangan tanah absentee/guntai secara nyata terjadi, tetapi tidak dilakukan sanksi yang tegas.Kata kunci: absentee, kepemilikan hak atas tanah, pertanian, sanksi. To make a fair and prosperous farming community, the government through a Land Reform program which includes a reshuffle of land ownership and control as well as legal relations concerned with land tenure. In accordance with Article 10 paragraph (1) the Basic Agrarian Law mandates Absentee prohibitions on ownership of agricultural land. With the existence of these provisions it is expected that holders of agricultural land can cultivate or work on their own land so that agricultural lands are indeed productive and there is no agricultural land that is left or Absentee. The purpose of the Absentee ban is that the results obtained from the cultivation of land can be enjoyed mostly by rural communities where the land is located. The phenomenon of the prohibition of Absentee / guntai land actually occurred, but no strict sanctions were made.Keywords: absentee,ownership of rights to land, agriculture, sanctions.

Private Sector Investment

AbstractThe Zambian government has introduced the farm block development programme (FBDP) to facilitate agricultural land and rural development and encourage private sector investment. This study assessed whether the FBDP achieves these goals. Key obstacles and possible opportunities were also identified and, where appropriate, specific corrective actions were recommended. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted in Lusaka with various stakeholders of the FBDP. The FBDP is designed to facilitate agricultural land development and encourage private sector investment. However, the programme falls far short in terms of implementation, amidst policy uncertainty and lack of support. This is evident by the insecurity of land tenure which negatively affects small- and medium-scale producers’ access to financing, lack of infrastructure development of these farm blocks, and constraints in the agricultural sector such as low labour productivity and poor access to service expertise. It is recommended that innovative policy interventions should be created to support agricultural development. This can be achieved by following a multistakeholder approach through involving private, public and non-profit sectors such as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and donors.
