Abstract

The agrarian conflict on Rempang Island involving indigenous people and the government has resulted in legal uncertainty. The land status that overlaps with the Rempang Eco City project has led to several human rights violations. This research aims to find out the status of land in Rempang and the protection of local Indigenous people in relation to the construction of the Rempang eco-city that occurred in the area. This research uses normative legal research by analyzing it through literature study. The results of this study show that from the aspect of legality, the land in the Rempang Island area has not been designated as customary land or state land. Management rights derived from customary land so far can only be assigned to customary law communities that have been recognized for their existence. Protection and enforcement of the rights of Indigenous peoples are carried out through the mechanism of establishing communal rights to the land of Indigenous peoples and communities in certain areas can be done by forming an inventory team of control, ownership, use, and utilization of land.
