Abstract
The majority of Indonesians make their living from farming, which requires a lot of area to grow crops. To produce fresh land for farmers, a small amount of forest must be cleared. The cost of land cannot be increased by cutting down and burning trees and forests, according to the legislation. However, there are several exceptions to local rules, such as burning up to 2 hectares of land per family head, growing local kinds, and encircling themselves with fire traps to prevent disease transmission, but not to the environment. The study's goal was to examine into the involvement of local sages in land clearance, forest burning, and land burning, as well as the establishment of land clearing operations against police officers who broke local laws. This research method combines a legal (sculpture) and a conceptual approach. The findings demonstrate the importance of local wisdom in large-scale forest fire prevention through constitutional acknowledgment of local wisdom.
 
 
Highlights
There has been an annual ritual in several parts of Indonesia, where the dry season is followed by forest and land fires, which has become a tradition in recent years
As a way to prevent forest and land fires, this local wisdom is practiced by building firebreaks prior to clearing the land
Indigenous peoples can enforce the law against family heads who depart from or violate the processes for burning forests according to local wisdom
Summary
There has been an annual ritual in several parts of Indonesia, where the dry season is followed by forest and land fires ( known as Karhutla), which has become a tradition in recent years. The final sentence of the paper's explanatory statement underscores the importance of managing the flame to keep the coal from spreading While this criterion limits the provision to two hectares per head of household, it takes into consideration the amount of accumulated land that burnt. According to previous research on Forest Land Clearing from a Human Rights Perspective based on Article 69 paragraph (2) of the UUPPLH, it is permissible to open land by burning in order to preserve local wisdom, which includes human rights such as the right to life and the right to culture, but there are other human rights that must be considered (Apryani, 2018). According to Effendi and Yulias Erwin (in (Elviandri, 2017)), law enforcement on forest fires does not create a deterrent impact because they occur often in different parts of Indonesia. This study is structured around two main questions: What is the role of community intelligence in preventing forest and land fires?, and How can this topic be applied to local politics?
