DECISION REINFORCEMENT OF VILLAGE ADAT COUNCIL INSTITUTION IN RESOLVING THE DISPUTES BASED ON MINANGKABAU ADAT COMMUNITY
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
The structure of traditional legal communities in West Sumatera is integrally reflected on villages (Nagari-Nagari). These villages have existed for centuries, before Dutchmen came to Indonesia, in particular to West Sumatera. In such a relatively - long period of time, Minangkabau community has lived under the leadership of adat functionaries (Penghulu) who have organized themselves in Kerapatan Adat Nagari or village Adat council in every village with respect to traditions and equity. The relationship among villages has also been governed by KAN. Since the enactment of the Act number 32 of 2004 concerning the government autonomy, KAN, however, has become an adat institution only and lost its authority over governmental administration of village level. The status of KAN as a partner of the provincial government in carrying out of development in West Sumatera has been restored since the provincial government of West Sumatera passed the provincial regulation of West Sumatera number 2 of 2007.
