Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 10

Abstract

This research aimed to identify and explain the causative factors of unutilized land with its Cultivation Right (HGU) and legal aspects of abandoned land settlement. There are 119,400 ha. (31.48%) of abandoned land within the 379,374.02 haof land with HGU in Aceh Province, while in West Aceh District there are only 20,380.68 ha. (46%) out of a total of 44,301.49 ha. of land for plantations. This situation is cause t for concern since both the national government and the local government of Aceh have the same vision to increase the farmer’s welfare through their strategic programs of “Agrarian Reform”, which have the main objective to redistribute landin order to decrease economic gaps between people in the country. Therefore, this research is important in order to find possible alternative ways to reuse HGU land which has been identified as abandoned land. The results show that there are four factors that cause HGU land to remain unplanted (1) the land is used for supporting facilities; (2) the physical condition of the land means it cannot be utilized eg., deep peat land; (3) the land is used as a reserved area; and (4) the land rights are disputed. There are several regulations that apply to land that is indicated as or apparently is abandoned land: first, an inventory must be made of land rights and in particular must identifyland that is apparently/indicated as abandoned; second, identification and research into the land that is indicated as abandoned; third, warnings must be given to current rights holders; and last, the determination of the land as abandoned. Land with HGU that is apparently abandoned in West Aceh District has been identified and research into it’s status has been conducted but none has yet to be designated as abandoned land.
