Education and Legal Assistance in Sustainable Natural Resource Management: Socialization of Traditional Government Regulations

Sostones Y Sisinaru, Alfian Makaruku

Abstract

The existence of indigenous communities has long been linked to indigenous governance systems that have been passed down from generation to generation. Maluku Provincial Regulation No. 14 of 2005 on “Reaffirmation of Villages as Indigenous Legal Communities in the Administrative Area of the Maluku Provincial Government” serves as the legal framework for the formulation of regency and city regulations throughout Maluku Province. This regulation provides legal space to restore the status of indigenous communities and indigenous governance through regional regulations that reflect local characteristics as a manifestation of local wisdom and traditional rights. However, several problems have arisen in practice, including weaknesses in the implementation of regulations and varying interpretations of legal provisions among the community. This transition has indirectly reduced and weakened the existence of customary government institutions that have been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, one important step that has been taken is to implement a legal education program aimed at strengthening the customary government system to preserve and maintain the existence of customary government, especially in Negeri Oma, in a sustainable manner. This community service activity used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) and socialization method accompanied by a question-and-answer session. A total of 18 participants, comprising government officials and members of the community, took part in this Community Service activity. The results obtained after the implementation of this activity included, first, an increase in the community's understanding of local customary government regulations in natural resource management. Second, the local government created a draft customary regulation with community involvement regarding natural resource management in Negeri Oma. Through the implementation of this community service activity, the people of Negeri Oma can learn about legal certainty in protecting their customary rights as an indigenous community. This activity certainly has an impact on improving welfare through well-managed natural resources
