Abstract

In countries with agrarian potentials such as Indonesia, the villages play a very strategic role in agrarian resource management. The villages with agrarian potentials, however, are currently unable to manage agrarian resources particularly land, and they tend to rely on the policies of supra-village namely: the government. This causes their agrarian and human resources to decline, which generates some important implications that the agrarian resource management needs to be reorganized, and the villagers as the principal subjects for the utilization of rural assets and resources have to participate. The agrarian resource management can be done through education, which encourages the governance of agrarian resources particularly land which rests on the villagers' participations and the changes of development paradigm from growth toward agrarian resource management. The objectives of this research are to investigate: (1) the agrarian resource management to strengthen the agrarian lives in rural areas and (2) Education of villagers for the agrarian resource management in rural areas. This research used the socio legal approach, which is the integration between the legal research and the social research. It was intended to understand the correlation and link between legal aspects and realities in the communities. The subjects of the research were the Consortium for Agrarian Reform (KPA) which has done innovations on the formation of Advanced Village of Agrarian Reform. The data of the research were analyzed by using the interactive mdole of analysis consisting of three components, namely: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The result of this research could be an alternative solution to encounter the crises generated by the shrinking agrarian lives in rural areas and the escalating number of poverties among the farmers. Therefore, a strategic effort is needed as to develop the autonomy of villages with agrarian potentials toward advanced, fair, and prosperous ones through education for young generations of farmers.
