Abstract: The legal relations of land tenure, ownership, usage and utilization of agrarian resources still require furtherrestructurization. The economic development during the New Order era abandoned the necessity of the legal differences of landtenure and land ownership, with the legal relations of the collection and utilization of agrarian resources excluding land. Consequently,there are misleading in interpreting the right and permission as a form of legal relationship. These misleading should berectified in the land law draft which will be drafted. The future land law should be able to clearly regulate the legal relations of landtenure, and should be consistently built since the early tenure in the form of occupation, possession, and ownership by the Ministryof Agrarian and Land Use Planning/NLA. Land tenure relationship is mentioned by the concept of land right. Furthermore, it shouldbe confirmed in the Land Law Draft that the relationship between collection and utilization of natural resources are confirmed aspermit, and should not be considered as the basic of land utilization as earth surface. Reclamation set up by the concession holdersfor mining area recovery should not be considered as an “entry point” to legalize land rights.Keywords: legal relation, right, licenseIntisari: Hubungan hukum penguasaan dan pemilikan serta penggunaan dan pemanfaatan Sumberdaya Agraria masih memerlukanpenataan. Perkembangan ekonomi selama era Orde Baru mengabaikan pentingnya pembedaan hubungan hukum tenurial penguasaandan pemilikan tanah dengan hubungan hukum pengambilan dan pemanfaatan sumberdaya agraria selain tanah. Akibatnya, terjadikesesatan berfikir dalam mamaknai hak dan ijin sebagai bentuk hubungan hukum. Kesesatan berfikir ini harus diakhiri di dalam RUUPertanahan yang akan disusun. RUU Pertanahan itu harus jelas mengatur bahwa hubungan hukum tenurial dengan tanah haruskonsisten dibangun sejak penguasaan awal dalam bentuk okupasi (occupation), penguasaan dan pemunyaaan (possession), danpemilikan (ownership) oleh Kementerian ATR/BPN. Hubungan tenurial dengan tanah disebut dengan konsep hak atas tanah.Selanjutnya, perlu dikonfirmasi dalam RUU Pertanahan tersebut bahwa hubungan pengambilan dan pemanfaatan kekayaan alamdikonfirmasi sebagai ijin, yang tidak dapat dijadikan sebagai dasar untuk menggunakan tanah sebagai permukaan bumi. Reklamasiyang dilakukan pemegang ijin untuk memulihkan areal tambang, tidak dapat dijadikan sebagai “pintu masuk” bagi terjadinya hak atastanah.Kata kunci: hubungan hukum, hak atas tanah, ijin

Planning for transportation infrastructure takes significant role in development of urban areas. Proper planning is needed for eliminating the problems like overcrowding, housing shortage, congestion etc. So there is a need of integrating transportation and land use. Transportation planning and the land use planning have to be done together. Integrating transportation with land use helps to decrease travel length and need to travel. Mixed land use development is more suitable for the urban areas. This paper critically reviews the importance of Integrated Transportation and Land Use planning (ITLUP) model in the planning of urban areas and applying this model as a solution for most of the problems facing in urban areas by analysing the best practices. The review also focuses on the relationship between land use and transportation by examining the parameters of ITLUP model.

Climate Change and global warming have brought some policy to reduce the impacts by adaptation and mitigation strategies. One adaptation strategy is to increase land use size in agriculture area base on community participation. On the other hand, sustainable development needs cooperation mainly on common investment. The aim of the study is to identify the land utilization process, role model and level of participation on customary land. We use observation and deep interview method to analyze this study. The result shows that the customary land utilization process has realized through public deliberation with local Fig.s. The agriculture programs operated with Wanatani concept or agro-forestry by housewives where multi-level strategy is mutually beneficial. Around 30 housewives have been participating in producing agriculture products, i.e., coffee, milk candy, palm sugar, and ginger powder. The level of participation especially for female farmers at RW 01, which shows a percentage of 16.6%. Generally, community participation has encouraged the gotong-royong model while has to contribute in their time, tools and materials to develop the communal shed. In conclusion, the land tenure system has taken with sharing benefits between local government & farmers. The customary tenure has recognized as one of the tenure systems in Indonesia, especially on Adat land management.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the effects of multifunctional rural land use (MRLU) on residents’ wellbeing. A questionnaire survey on 805 rural residents in 64 villages of the Xinzhou District of Wuhan city in China, and estimators of OLS, ordered logit, and ordered probit were employed. The Shannon’s H index and Simpson’s Reciprocal Index are used to measure MRLU and the life satisfaction approach is used to measure wellbeing. An inverted-U pattern is observed in the relationship between MRLU and wellbeing, and another finding of the study is the threshold of MRLU. The article contributes to the literature by integrating MRLU into wellbeing analysis from a spatial-separated form, and deepens the relationship between MRLU and the residents’ wellbeing. MRLU is characterized by differences and a moderation, which can provide a reference for profiling rural land use planning and for designing land-use policy, and for prompting rural sustainable development.

Abstract Land use planning is defined as the regulation of the relationship between space and human activities. Space occupied by human settlements, farmland and forests, parks, fallow land, rivers and lakes, and by transportation networks constitutes a network of areas dedicated to land uses such as agriculture, forestry, rangeland, industry, mining, recreation, and fishing. Land use planning is a comprehensive and long-term approach to planning human relations and their activities in space; it is the task of regulating and coordinating the strategies and general orientations of sectors, and it is the foundation of economies and human activities. The purpose of land use planning is to achieve an optimal distribution of economic and social activities. Land use selection and management are commonly done without regard to the carrying capacity of the land which, when exceeded, results in economic losses and in a reduction of environmental quality. The overall goal of land use planning is to achieve the optimal use of the land within the national interest framework. Accordingly, formulating a successful plan for managing the development of a country requires proper attention to the roles of geography and land use. Creation of a suitable balance between the Earth and its use by human activities can be achieved by proper land management. The increasing importance of environmental issues and human alteration of natural environments calls for sustainable development and land use practices that conserve natural resources while benefiting society and the environment. Nowadays, due to many factors such as climate change, population growth, changing standards of living, poverty, access to education, and mismanagement of natural and water resources, there is a need to diversify food and agricultural production in a variety of ways. Overseas cultivation is one of them, and it has potential for improving agricultural production. The practice of overseas cultivation by a country means planting and harvesting of a variety of agricultural products in other countries to be sold in its domestic market or in foreign markets. There are five basic principles that underline the success of overseas cultivation involving any group of countries: (1) mutual respect for the governance of all countries; (2) making and abiding by agreements between the countries; (3) non-interference in the internal problems of each country and respect for the territorial integrity of all countries; (4) optimal use of human resources and capacities to support agricultural activities and trade; and (5) expanding security and military cooperation.

The Land Use Planning (LUP-Neraca Penatagunaan Tanah/NPGT) is a balance between land availability and the needs of tenure, use and utilization of land according to the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) function area. LUP is arranged sectorally and regionally. Examples of sectoral LUP are rice field planning and plantation field planning. While regional LUP is arranged at a certain administrative level. So far LUP has been prepared based on zones/ regions that are adjusted to the RTRW functions area. The LUP at the sub-district administrative level began to be initiated and to be implemented after almost all of district/ city LUPs were implemented. Sub-district LUP was supported by the availability of the Subdistrict Spatial Detail Plan (RDTR) on a 1:5.000 scale which became a reference in the permittance of space utilization, so that the subdistrict LUP was arranged on the same scale. In this paper an assessment of sub-district LUP was made based on the Parcels Map (PBT) that available in the land office. PBT displays land parcels based on land ownership and land tenure. LUP is carried out in urban areas and rural areas. Location of urban areas in Mantrijeron Sub-District, Yogyakarta City, while rural areas in Bambanglipuro Sub-District.The stages of sub-district LUP consist of : data collection/ inventory; processing and analysis of data; and compilation of results and discussion. The data collection/ inventory phase includes activities for preparing work maps and collecting primary data and supporting data. The processing and analysis stage includes data processing on sub-district LUP compilation with GIS application (ArcGIS) and LUP analysis. LUP analysis consists of : analysis of land use changes, analysis of land use suitability and analysis of land availability. The stage of result preparation and discussion includes the preparation of the result of the analysis, a comparison between two regions that were studied, conclusions and recommendations. The result of the parcels-based sub-district LUP shows that land tenure and ownership information is very detailed; the information of land use and utilization in one parcel of land can consist of more than one type. In urban areas, the size of land parcels is relatively small with more varied types of land use and utilization than rural areas. As a note, that the coverage of parcels map in rural areas still needs to be improved because there are still empty areas.

This article aims to explore various forms of land tenure and land use in Sorendiweri Village in East Supiori District, Papua Province. This research uses descriptive research using ethnography. The technique of determining informants is done purposively by determining key informants first that guides researchers to search for further informants. Data collection techniques used are in-depth interviews and FGD (Focus Group Discussion). Data analysis was carried out based on the factual culture of the community. The results show that the pattern of land tenure in the local population is communal at the clan level. Then, according to the local population, psychomo-logical and historicize view of customary land is very dominant because it states that customary land tenure in popular clans such as Sauyas that is more in line with history and relationships between clans. In addition, land tenure conflicts often occur because of the spread of land clearing in customary rights for infrastructure development and etc.
