From Consolidation of KPA Bali area; Conflict of Agrarian Source of Peasant Suffering PDF Print E-mail
 

Problems of farmers, and agricultural sectors continue to experience inevolusi process characterized by constriction of land, reduced productivity and value added of the farmer. One cause of the occurrence inevolusi process that is because they do not run the agenda of agrarian reform. The rise of agrarian disputes in Indonesia, including Bali, is one result of agrarian reform is not executable.

Until now there is no mechanism for how to resolve this dispute and agrarian conflict. To search for an agrarian conflict resolution mechanism based on the characters in this region, the actor movement of agrarian reform in Bali to do consolidate in Penggak Kesema, Denpasar (11 / 3)

In the introductory discussion, starting with observing of the situation in Bali, has found a strong indication about narrowing of wide land of agricultural equivalent to the narrowness of the business of peasants. Of course these symptoms inevolusi emphasize agriculture. In other words, agricultural land conversion to non-agricultural business in line with the process of 'impoverishment' of the peasants.

In Bali, this phenomenon characterized by a change of paddy field and the fields to golf courses, water resources transformed into a swimming pool and spa, barn transformed bungalows, hotels and so on. Of course accompanied by a variety of disputes, or conflicts in the mastery and possession, as the case Sumber Klampok villages, Sendang Pasir Village, Village of Selasih, and village of Serangan, or various cases which indicated as violated Land use (Wikipedia) such Jatiluwih, Ungasan, or Hill of Mimba.

Participants of gatherings criticized the government's promise to implemented the agrarian reform that was published since 2007, but until now has not been realized. Precisely in the field claimed to be merely agrarian reform program of land certification process. Certification is certainly not agrarian reform because it only legalizes inequality is a major problem our agrarian.

Agrarian Dispute Completion

Idham, Secretary General of the KPA revealed that to overcome poverty, unemployment, the rate of urbanization and ecological disasters, then the government of SBY Volume II is supposed to do genuine agrarian reform agenda. Policy reform is awaited by the majority of poor of peasant laborers and peasants.

He adds again, "agrarian problem today is a structural problem, so it can not simply be solved by charity programs and technical, there should be a systematic effort to change the capitalistic paradigm of development" he firm.

Completion of disputes and conflicts within the framework of agrarian reform is urgent thing to have attention from the government. Many of disputed lands currently contribute directly to the emergence of agricultural problems.

Because commonly agrarian disputes and conflicts involving the productive peasant and in productive agricultural lands. In this context, the agrarian dispute settlement also means that trying to develop the foundations of people's economy based on restoration of the rights of peasants.

Implemented True Agrarian Reform

All participants believed that only by implementing the agenda of agrarian reform poor peasants can be resolved. Agrarian Reform be an important indicator to assess whether SBY and all levels of government KIB II seriously realize the vision of "democracy, welfare, and justice" as portrayed in the campaign of President SBY previous. These vision and mission should be embodied, and not merely just imaging. For this purpose, there are a number of important agenda to be performed, that is:

First, land identification of agrarian reform object, which prioritized to the poor people who does not have land. Including land which had been abandoned by the owners utilized and projected for the poor.

Second, the identification of subjects or prospective farmer beneficiaries of agrarian reform. Landless poor peasants who their land narrow, peasant laborer, traditional fisherfolk and indigenous peoples should be prioritized.

The development of participatory mechanisms, transparent, and democratic to undertake consolidation, the distribution and redistibusi of land is necessary for the agrarian reform to reach goals and targets on target precisely. The basic aim is to bring justice of agrarian. Done by avoiding the concentration of land ownership and natural wealth in the hands of a handful of people.

Agrarian reform must be supported with the new orientation, including the agenda, guidance and agricultural programs. Orientation and landing time tend to focus on "efficiency-based growth", which sustained investment (capital), or what we are familiar with agri-business. Indeed there is nothing wrong with the basic idea, but in practice it displaces, exploitative and destroy the soil structure resulting from the use of fertilizers and pesticides Thus, it is necessary policies and directives are more oriented toward justice, prosperity and independence.
