Abstract
Customary land (tanah ulayat) of a tribe means an inheritance land and the natural resources on and inside it, passed down from generation to generation, and the rights of customary land belong to customary law community. Customary land/customary land rights (hak ulayat) are a joint land, believed to be a gift from supernatural forces or inheritance from ancestors to a group of people, the customary law community, that serves as the main supporting element for the community’s life and livelihood all the time. Based on the background of research, the researchers formulated research questions as follow: How is the regulation on the use of tribal land in Palakahembi Village, Pandawai Subdistrict, East Sumba District, East Nusa Tenggara Province; How is the effectiveness of the regulation on the use of tribal land in Palakahembi Village, Pandawai Subdistrict, East Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. This research aims to provide legal comprehension to society concerning the regulation on the use of tribal land and to study and understand legal issues concerning the regulation on the use of tribal land. This is empirical legal research, which reveals facts (the fact approach). Applying this approach, the researchers observed and collected facts in the field methodically, and these facts are used as supporting materials for the research. This research took place in Palakahembi Village, East Sumba District, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The result of this research shows that there is no clear commensurate border of tribal land (a source of horizontal conflict between tribes), no Regional Regulation of East Sumba District that specifically regulates and use tribal land based on its characteristic, and the region’s local wisdom. The researchers suggested that it is necessary to draw up a Regional Regulation that serves as a stepping stone in the use of tribal land based on the tribe’s local wisdom.
