NGAHUMA (PLANTING RICE IN THE FIELDS) AND TILLED LAND LIMITATION OF THE BADUY TRIBE IN INDONESIA

Baduy are traditional native Indonesian tribes living in the southeastern part of the province of Banten, and they are considered as a tribe reliable in upholding ancestral traditions. One of their customary laws is the obligation to ngahuma (planting rice in the fields) as a form of worship and harmony. The main purpose of this research is to describe whether the Ngahuma customary law will continue in the dilemma of land limitations. This recent study will propose several solutions related to their customary law sustainability and their economic needs. The descriptive qualitative method was employed as a tool for examining Baduy tribe-related phenomena. Using participatory observation, interviews, and literature study, this exploratory research examines and analyzes traditional activities, obligations, ngahuma in the context of the baduy community. This research study utilized four key informants and three validators to achieve thematic saturation. Based on our findings, we conclude that the Baduy population increases even though the land for ngahuma remains the same. Moreover, ngahuma is a traditional customary obligation that cannot be violated. Some solutions have been found, such as buying or renting land outside customary land, limiting the fallow (do not use the land before replanting), and dividing land to family members. However, several problems remain; for example, unfertile land conditions and lack of rice for the community. Finally, researchers offer solutions and expected the local government of the Lebak Regency to provide new land for the Baduy tribe.
