scholarly journals The Contemporary Agrarian Change in Rice Production Village in Klaten Regency, Central Java

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.

Reciprocity relationships are a necessity in human life. This study aims to describe the various factors that determine the formation of balanced reciprocity in the relationship between land owners and farm laborers. The research's location was determined intentionally in the rural areas of Purbalingga Regency and Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. This study used a qualitative method with a semi-grounded phenomenological research design. The results showed that a balanced reciprocity relationship was determined by a variety of principal and smoothing factors. The identification results showed that the main determinants include opportunity, benefit, mutual trust, closeness of social relations, motives for reciprocal exchange, openness in communication, willingness to give transactions to accept and return. The array of determinants of smoothing factors is routine contact and communication, empathy, tolerance, length of relationship, regularity of social interactions, network of cooperation, solidarity, transaction ability, mutual control and evaluation. The existence and strength of these two types of determining factors have an important function in the formation of balanced reciprocity among agricultural land owners and farm laborers. Willingness, self-awareness and opportunity are very important to develop to form balanced reciprocity.

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.

The resistance of the peasants is inseparable from the social class that is intertwined in it so that this resistance is only a tool of the interests of the actors to secure land. The resistance of Wonogoro farmers in opposing social forestry was due to the redistribution of 2 hectares of land. This study uses a theoretical analysis of class dynamics and agrarian change in rural areas. Seeing the social class of farmers who can mobilize farmers to oppose social forestry based on control over land tenure. This research uses a critical paradigm. The research location is in the Wonogoro area, Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. This study used purposive sampling with 20 respondents. The results of the research are the mystification of peasant resistance as shown by the mobilization of proletarian farmers by capital farmers. The mystification of peasants 'resistance shows the disparity of the peasants' social class with land management. Unbalanced land management is due to massive privatization. Unequal land tenure forms the social class of farmers. The capital peasant class by controlling the land can control the proletarian peasants as agricultural laborers. The resistance of farmers against social forestry shows that there is the mobilization of resistance by capital farmers to secure land with a 2-hectare land redistribution scheme.

Land use change generally involves transformation in allocating land resources from one to another use. The purpose of this study is (1) to identify the problem of conversion of agricultural land, especially paddy fields (2) to analyze spatial patterns and influencing factors, and (3) to analyze policies related to conversion of agricultural land. This study uses a qualitative approach, data collection using interview techniques, observation, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is qualitative descriptive. The study was conducted in Brebes Regency, Central Java. The conclusion of this study is 1) the conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural use is strongly influenced by the dynamics of very rapid urban growth, both seen from demographic, economic and physical aspects. 2) The spatial pattern of conversion of paddy fields is influenced by socio-economic factors, including urban population growth, growth and shifts in economic structure, growth of land-use agricultural households and changes in land tenure. 3) The policy related to controlling the conversion of agricultural land is the consistency of the implementation of the RTRW as a key to preventing the conversion of agricultural land to non-agriculture.

Purpose – It has been argued that traditional land transfer systems provide disincentives for farmers to trade their land, thus reducing land availability and depressing productivity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of land rentals under customary land ownership in matrilineal and patrilineal traditions and under formal land registration in the rural areas of Malawi. Design/methodology/approach – Using new data collected from around 100 households farming around 200 parcels in three regions of Malawi, a number of models are estimated with ordinary least squares. Findings – The paper finds some evidence that some variables within the traditional system of land holding are crucial for land rentals. However, when land titles are used as a proxy for security of tenure, none of the relationships commonly hypothesized between land ownership security and land lease are corroborated. Land registration is found to have no significant effects on land and rentals. Social implications – These results put into question the potency of sole land registration as a means of enhancing land market activities for rural masses in Malawi. Originality/value – The uniqueness of this paper rests in it its use of context-specific constructs of land ownership security. Moreover the tested hypotheses emerge from a theoretical model that is unique to the literature on rural land markets and land tenure.

The problem in rice production in Java is the decrease of agricultural land area, and the increase of old farmers, the share cropping system is a system of land tenure distribution that is mostly carried out in Java. The research was conducted in Klaten Regency as the centre for rice production in Central Java. This study aims to determine the management of rice farming using a share cropping system and factors that affect its productivity. The research involved 60 farmers as the research samples who were collected using multiple linear regression methods. The analysis revealed that the number of tenant farmers amounted to 38% with a relatively younger age and a land area of 0.7 ha. Economically, they live a decent life with revenue per cost 1.6 and profit per cost C 0.25, and a productivity level of 6.3 tons/ha, which is higher than the landowners are. The share cropping system in rice farming in Klaten Regency is a system of land use and labor that provides good incentives for the tenant

In trying to get his land the farmer must consider the technical problem, economical and social the culture, the exploitation of agriculture always was linked with what will be produced, how many, here, when, how and where is distributed him.  The utilization of the farmer's land as the production factor that was most important in the farming really was influenced by the relations kind between humankind and his land because will be related to in continuation of his farming. The land that was made an effort to get could take the form of his property personally or property of the other person. This research was aimed at identifying and analyzing the exploitation and institutional the agricultural land in rural areas. The method used was survey that was carried out in 12 Patanas villages that were spread in Lampung, West Java, Central Java, East Java, South Sulawesi, and NTB. In three villages, 25 farm households were selected. Results of the research showed the growth index reached 200 to 300, except in the paddy-field land where its irrigation was rotated and in dryland that was cultivated with cassava. The farmer used the superior variety seed, but did not yet apply balanced fertilizing. Fertilizing exceeded the recomendation whereas for other fertilizer (P05 and K20) and relative manure utilization was still under recommendation, in fact some farmers did not use. The productivity of the crop in the rainy season (rice and corn) higher was compared to dry season, except for the potato. Generally the farmer used capital personally, “YARNEN” system was an alternative that often was followed. The price of agricultural product was fluctuating in which the price of the dry season tended to be higher than in the rainy season, the status of the farmer was dominated by owner followed by the sharecropper and the leaser. The sharecropper and the leaser always did not come from the group landless because of the owner, also entered the rented market and sharecropper. The rented system that more stressed the aspect of economics than social more prominent in production centers of the potato. Key word: farming, institutional the land, agroecosystem

Defects in the spatial structure of agricultural land resulting from the common phenomenon of land fragmentation constitute one of the most important factors that contribute to the lack of rational land management. Reconstruction of the spatial structure of rural areas is essential for their sustainable development. The process of land consolidation is a tool that can arrange space and lead to the desired structural changes. It is reasonable to select objects for land consolidation in such a way as to obtain the best possible effect. This article presents an algorithm for grouping areas with the concentration of the external land ownership patchwork with the use of Czekanowski’s method of cluster analysis. The clusters determined this way can be treated as the whole objects subjected to land consolidation, for which the process will bring the greatest benefits in terms of the elimination of the external land ownership patchwork. The described algorithm is relatively simple to use and the graphical final form is easy for the result interpretation. It allows for multi-variant examination of the analyzed phenomenon and can be applied wherever there is access to reliable information from land registry and cadastral and GIS databases that are used to obtain a complete picture of the spatial and ownership structure of the analyzed areas.

The redistribution of land as a means of agrarian reform in Trumben Village, Bandar District, Batang, Central Java Province comes from the former HGU No.1 Tratak.  The former HGU was successfully processed into State General Reserves Land (TCUN), then became Landreform Object Land covering an area of  ?79.8410 hectare since December 11th, 2015. The object was given to 425 heads of farmer families who had been working on the land. Each farmer receives one plot of land and cannot be transferred without hot official permits. Post-land redistribution, since 2018 the construction of Study Education Outside the Main Campus (PSDKU) UNDIP has begun. In line with this, problems arise, including the transfer of redistribution land ownership to external parties without permission, and the existence of agricultural land parcels for residential houses in the redistribution area. The purpose of this research is to see whether the UNDIP campus construction occurs in the rules of land redistribution transfer and how the alternative solutions to the existing problems. This study used an empirical juridical method with qualitative descriptive data analysis. The conclusion of this research is that the PSDKU development has an impact on the transfer of ownership and changes in the use of agricultural land to non-agricultural.Keywords: agrarian reform, former HGU Tratak, illegal housing Intisari: Redistribusi tanah sebagai salah satu wujud penyelenggaraan  reforma agraria di Desa Trumben, Kecamatan Bandar, Kabupaten Batang, Provinsi Jawa Tengah berasal dari bekas HGU No. 1 Tratak. Bekas HGU tersebut kemudian diproses  menjadi Tanah Cadangan Umum Negara (TCUN), dan selanjutnya ditetapkan menjadi Obyek Landreform seluas 79,8410 hektar sejak Tanggal 11 Desember 2015. Objek tersebut diberikan kepada 425 kepala keluarga petani yang selama ini menggarap tanah tersebut. Masing-masing petani menerima satu bidang tanah Hak Milik (HM) dan tidak boleh dialihkan tanpa izin pejabat yang berwenang. Pasca redistribusi tanah tersebut, sejak tahun 2018 telah dimulai pembangunan Pendidikan Studi Di luar Kampus Utama (PSDKU) UNDIP.  Sejalan dengan hal tersebut timbul permasalahan, antara lain adanya peralihan kepemilikan tanah redistribusi kepada pihak eksternal tanpa izin, serta adanya pengkaplingan tanah pertanian untuk rumah tinggal dalam area redistribusi tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah pembangunan kampus UNDIP mengakibatkan terjadinya pelanggaran terhadap aturan peralihan tanah redistribusi tersebut serta bagaimana alternatif solusi dari permasalahan yang ada. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan yuridis empiris. Kesimpulan  dari penelitian ini adalah pembangunan PSDKU berdampak pada peralihan kepemilikan dan perubahan penggunaan tanah pertanian menjadi non pertanian.Kata Kunci; Reforma Agraria, Bekas HGU Tratak, dan perumahan illegal
