I. Introduction
The pressure of increasing population and high demand for economic development and
development and industrialization will insist on the existence of three types of land
respectively. It can even push the land valuation out of control. Configuration of the
price and value of an expanse of land will be formed by itself, so that the land is in line
with its position (near or far from the road) and future periods that have investment
and business attractiveness that can be subjected to tax objects. Based on Article 6
paragraph 1 of Law no. 12 Year 1985, which became the basis of the imposition of
Land and Building Tax is the Value of Object Tax (NJOP). NJOP is determined through a
specific analytical model based on the technical provisions applicable in the Directorate
General of Taxation. Procedures for determining NJOP shall be regulated in Decision of
Director General Number: KEP.533 / PJ / 2000 which has been amended by Decree of
Directorate General of Taxation Number: KEP.115 / PJ / 2002. The determination of
NJOP is adjusted to Fair Market Value (NPW), with NJOP objective in accordance with
market price. Secretly, the attractiveness of investment and business for a land and
forest / forest area is still spared our observations, including the spread of oil palm
plantations in forest areas attracting investors so that the process of regulation,
integration and sectoral coordination and inter-agrarian sectors, spatial plan and
oversized forest governance follow the pressures of the rapidly expanding investment
market and palm oil business in global markets. Even the market price of palm oil
products on the market has led to overlapping licensing and institutional conflicts
among the government's own bureaucracy.
The above needs a thorough study of the value of land / forest area before being
converted into a business field (HGU) with the value after the APL becomes the
agrarian object, can be compared between the value of land for HGU object with Forest
/ Forest area value for another. So the role of institutions that handle agrarian affairs
(land) and spatial plan becomes very important. While the Forest Zone is the only asset
of the non-burdened state as an object that can not become a public commodity so that
the forest area also plays a role in the defense and sovereignty of the State and the
people. However, if the forest area converted into APL is also a tax object and will have
a selling price depending also on its position. Since the commencement of development
in the early days of the New Order Government of 1967, we have never monitored and
evaluated the conditions, status and position as public goods at this time nor. The three
agencies are for future interest.
The institution of Agrarian, Spatial Planning and Forest Areas are closely related to
each other dynamically. At the national level, it appears that each other is running well
and calmly, but at the level of the provinces and districts even at the level of the field
can affect each other and even lead to conflict between each other. So if we look at it
73 years ago since the Old Order Administration, or 48 years since the New Order
government, we have never had an integrated agrarian planning, spatial planning and
forest lands.
The paper aims to: 1) see how overlapping permits and conflicts occur between
government agencies in land and forest management in Central Kalimantan province
due to sectoral ego facing price pressures of palm oil products in global markets, 2)
strengthening and enhancing institutional and policy integration between the agrarian
sector (land), the spatial sector and forest sector sectors. The three agencies appear to
run on their own and even tend to lead to sectoral ego-difficult to find coordination and
coordination efforts with each other. Between agrarian sector, spatial and forest area as
already become discipline of science and profession of its own when activity and third
job relative same as structuring, planning, use, measurement, mapping and
development of business utilization for certain business interest. The emergence of
tenure and land conflicts often arises from one another due to weak coordination and
integration among the three sectors. One of the prominent issues in tenurial conflicts is
the spread of oil palm plantations in forest areas triggered by skyrocketing world crude
palm oil prices.
For the first time, we must start with an understanding of the definition and limitations
of the scope of agrarian sector activities (land), spatial and forest landscapes.
Understanding the boundaries and understanding of each will make it easier for us to
design the plan of agrarian institutional strengthening (land), spatial layout and forest /
forest landscape in an integrated manner.
According to Mulyanto, B (2015), the land becomes the focus due to various natural
resources such as water, air, forests, plants and plants in agriculture and plantation,
closely related to the soil. Meanwhile, human life is always associated with natural
resources, especially land in the form of control, ownership, use and utilization of land
(P4T). Understanding the land needs to be comprehensively comprehended, multi-
dimensional, cross-sectoral and dynamic. Land and land-related affairs, or what is
commonly known as "land" requires an integrated approach (socio-cultural, economic,
political, defense and security and the environment). Therefore the definition of land in
this case includes the understanding of soil and land, and this understanding is
understood in the legal (juridical) aspect.
According to Subekti and R Tjitrosoedibio, agrarian is the affairs of the land and all that
is in and on it, which in the ground such as rocks, pebbles, mines, while those on the
ground in the form of plants, buildings. The scope of agrarian / natural resources can
be explained as follows: 1) Earth; Understanding the earth according to Article 1
paragraph (4) UUPA is the surface of the earth, including also the underlying earth body
and under water. 2) Water; Understanding water according to Article 1 paragraph (5)
UUPA is water in the inland waters and water that is at sea in Indonesia. 3) Space; The
definition of space under Article 1 (6) of the BAL is space above the earth of Indonesia
and space above the water of Indonesia. The definition of aerospace according to
Article 48 UUPA space above earth and water containing energy and elements -
elements that can be used for efforts to maintain and develop the fertility of the earth,
water and natural resources contained therein. 4) The natural wealth contained therein;
The natural wealth contained in the earth is called materials, ie chemical elements,
minerals, ores and all kinds of rocks, including noble rocks that are natural deposits.
According to the Spatial Plan Pattern, each region has different characteristics.
Differences in the characteristics and potential of the region led to various forms of
inter-regional spatial interelation (individual places) which then produce
interdependency of places. Dependence is what became one of the triggers of regional
development (Sutaryono, 2007). The development of the region here becomes a
necessity that must be met in order to accommodate increased population activity and
the 'urbanization' process. However, unmanaged growth of the region can have a
counter-productive negative impact with the sustainable development effort. To that
end, for the development of the region can be controlled then the Regional Spatial Plan
present as a guidance in regional development.
Regulatively, the above has also been mandated in Law 26/2007 on Spatial Planning
and Government Regulation No. 15 of 2010 on Spatial Planning, which states that
Spatial Planning activities include planning, utilization and control of space utilization.
The third essence of the spatial planning aspect is the sustainability of spatial use in
supporting the livelihood of a region's inhabitants.
While relating to Forest Zone, the regulation is more directed to the existence of forest
area within a region is part of the space of the province and the regency / city
concerned so that the spatial planning policy of the provinces and districts / cities will
give wide implications for the existence of the forest area. Achieving sustainable
alignment of space utilization requires a directive in the form of a national spatial policy
and shall be applied in the form of national legislation or binding international
agreements or conventions. In Indonesia, the first law (Act) governing spatial planning
is Law no. 24 of 1992 on spatial arrangement, followed by various rules of
implementation either in the form of government unity (PP), presidential decree /
regulation, ministerial decree / regulation, regional regulation, or lower regulation. In
2007, Law no. 24/1992 was changed into Law no. 26 of 2007 on Spatial Planning. The
development of spatial planning in Indonesia has not been followed by a special legal
review; if any, the solution is still fragmented, partial, and not completely intact.
The existence of regional autonomy and the provision of freedom to the regions to
regulate their own region in terms of administration, operations and others are seen as
a good policy step. However, when viewed from the point of spatial arrangement, this
is just beginning to bring new problems. For example, much of the land is damaged by
the use of forest by HPH / IUPHHK holders, both natural and plantation forest and it
encourages the local government to change the function of the forest area. Actually,
the implementation of spatial arrangement of forest area is regulated by Law no.
41/1999 on Forestry which is better known as "Forest Land Use Arrangement (TGHK)".
The spatial layout of the province (RTRWP) as a whole in its implementation is
regulated in Law no. 26/2007, which includes regulation of forest area. It is therefore
necessary to have a harmonization or association between UU 41/1999 (TGHK) with UN
Number 26/2007 (RTRWP), both in terms of implementing regulations below and
detailed in implementation. Enactment of Law no. 26/2007 and PP no. 26/2008 on the
National Spatial Plan has encouraged all provinces in Indonesia to make RTRWP
(revised) adjustments. This is triggered by the provision of the deadline for the
completion of the revised RTRW for 2 years for RTRWP and 3 years for RTRWK since
the enactment of Law 26/2007 dated April 26, 2007. Therefore, the study related to
spatial planning process and forest area is very necessary, especially in assessing the
extent to which the existing policy can address all the problems in the process of
paduserasi forest area (mechanism, procedures, and requirements in the process of
changing the function of forest area) as well as in the implementation of the regulation.
The control of the lands within the forest area is under the authority of the Ministry of
the Environment and Forestry (KLHK) and the outside lands are under the authority of
the National Land Agency (BPN). This fact has implications for the inequality of legal
certainty of land tenure within and outside the forest area. Outside the area, it is
possible to grant land certificates (private ownership) while in the area is not possible
because of the assumption that the forest land is controlled by the state (in this case
the MoF). The only legality of the people to use the land in the forest area is through
forestry permits. Although permits are often referred to not as permits for land use, but
permits to use forest resources on them, in some cases this is undeniably a form of land
use permit. Permit for utilization of plantation forest where permit holder can plant
forest area is also permit to exploit the land.
The practice of dualism of land administration has so far added the Ministry of
Forestry's burden and complicated the land administration in Indonesia. KLHK must
take care of the land within the forest area, which in fact is the authority of BPN. On
the contrary, this condition limits the authority of KLHK to manage forest management
which is located above the lands outside the forest area, but has not been established
as a local people forest right.
Forest management on land located in Other Use Areas (APL) location, is not available
to MoF but to Local Government (Pemda). This causes the principle of integration in the
implementation of forestry as mandated by Law no. 41 of 1999 on Forestry is not
fulfilled. We recognize that legal and policy instruments related to land and forest
tenure are available. However, this tool still has not been able to thoroughly provide
tenure security to the government, in this case the MoF and other ministries,
communities and holders of forestry business permits and other permit holders.
Similarly, there is no integrated legal and policy framework related to land and forest
tenure.
IV. Critical Framework for Solving Land Tenure and Forest Problems
In Law No. 41/1999 on Forestry, in Article 5 paragraph 3 of Law no. 41 of 1999 stated
that the determination of forest status carried out by the government. The government
referred to here is the central government (Article 1 number 14 of Law No. 41 of 1999).
In Government Regulation No. 44/2004 on Forestry Planning in Article 15 stated that
the establishment of forest areas is carried out by the Minister (in this case the Minister
of LHK.

Figure 1.Critical framework of overlap and conflict of interest between sectors on Land
and forest use
With this provision, the authority to determine forest area is only in the hands of the
Minister of Forestry, not in the hands of the central government. Compared with the
Agrarian Basic Law number 5 of 1960 Agraria (UUPA), it will be contradictory to Article
19 of the BAL concerning land registration where the Land registration is carried out by
the National Land Agency (Badan Pertanahan Nasional / BPN).`
The main problem is a state forest area may be recognized by the state first, without
involving other parties, especially local people who have been there first. This makes
the position of established forest areas can not be separated from the shadow of the
conflict in the future. What is stated in this Act then reaps dissatisfaction over not
explicitly explaining the status of customary forest. The argument presented is that
there are indigenous and tribal peoples who have remained in the forest area even
before the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia stands.
The completion of the forest estate confirmation does not mean the legal issue is
complete. The legal basis for MoF to control land within state forest areas should be
provided. In this case Article 2 paragraph 4 of the BAL provides the legal basis for
granting management rights to government agencies to control the land. The practice
of land administration dualism has so far added to the Ministry of Forestry's burden and
complicated the administration of land in Indonesia. Kemenhut should take care of the
land in the forest area, on the contrary this condition limits the Ministry of Forestry's
authority to manage forest management that is located above the lands outside the
forest area. Forest management above Other Use Areas (APL) is not available to MoF
but to Local Government.
Central Kalimantan Province as one of the world's tropical forest producers who are the
lungs of the world. Central Kalimantan has an area of 15,426,781 hectares where the
forest area is 12.7 million ha (82.45%). While the area of Other Use Areas is 2.5 million
ha and HPK (Conversion Production Forest) of 1.6 million ha. This is in accordance with
the regulation of 5/2015 on RTRWP with reference to Permenhut No 529/2012 (West
Kalimantan Forestry Service, based on SK Menhut 529/2002.
In relation to the process of licensing of oil palm plantations, the authority of the
Provincial Government is still limited to only technical considerations in the form of a
Governor's Permit. In relation to the use of forest areas for the non-forestry sector, the
permits granted are more than 3,934,963.00 ha. In Central Kalimantan Province, there
are 282 oil palm plantation plantations (IUP) within a forest area of 3,934,963.00 Ha
spread across 15 districts / municipalities (Kemenhut, 2012). The proliferation of
unprocessed areas in Central Kalimantan is one of the result of many plantation
business permits from regents / governors suspected to be in forest areas, according to
Hartoyo (2011) in Setiawan et al (201) as an indication of corruption in the granting of
plantation business permits. in the field, many overlap and the paduseration process is
not completed.At that time there is KPP / KPL area which is the same as APL, but then
exit Kemenhut regulation stating that the area is forest area (Permenhut No 529/2012).
The overlapping of permit for oil palm plantation development within the forest area is
allegedly caused by the existence of inconsistency between Law No. 41 of 1999 on
Forestry with Law Number 26 of 2007 on Spatial Planning, in which the Ministry of
Forestry refers to the Decree of the Minister of Agriculture Number 759 / Kpts / Um /
12/1982 dated October 12, 1982 on the Appointment of Forest Areas in the Provincial
Region of Dati I Central Kalimantan which is commonly called Forest Land Use
Agreement (TGHK) while the Regional Government in Central Kalimantan refers to the
Provincial Spatial Planning (RTRWP) Number 5 of 1993 which is a follow up of Law
Number 24 Year 1992 on Spatial Planning, ten years later the Central Kalimantan
Provincial Government again issued RTRWP which was confirmed by Local Regulation
No. 8 of 2003 on RTRWP.
For that many areas of palm oil plantation which initially is a forest area, the problem is
then accommodated through the mechanism of forest area release. Nationally, the
extent of forest land release for oil palm plantations compared to other commodities is
the largest with an area of 5,572,684 ha. Thus, the appeal of oil palm plantation
business development that has become a pressure on the forest area is increasing,
resulting in many conflicts between parties such as communities, companies, local
governments and national. But not necessarily the outbreak of oil palm plantations in
central Kalimantan which is the cause of deforestation.
The rise in the price of palm oil in global markets will suppress the expansion of oil
palm both communities and palm oil companies. The political economy of palm oil
depends on world market conditions, especially derivative products produced from palm
oil now about 140 kinds of products. While pressures on forests continue to rise, on the
other hand, developing wild palm oil should be sought.

Currently, in the province of Central Kalimantan there are 169 units of oil palm
plantations that have been operational and extensive planted as much as 1.336 000 ha.
From the extent of oil palm plantations in the province of Central Kalimantan is in the
3rd position under the provinces of Riau and North Sumatra. While the number of
plasma in Central Kalimantan, until now has not reached 20%. This plasma-related
companies have a view that the obligation to build 20% of plasma is for companies
whose license is above the year 2007. So for companies that stand before that year
have no obligations.
Viewed from the side of the development of oil palm plantation industry, there are 169
units of large companies that are not yet operational in Central Kalimantan. The
company has not operated due to several things including: there is no land acquisition,
and the process of permit is not yet complete. If so far, permits from palm oil
companies that cross-district actually do not exist, but more because of the impact of
the expansion of the region so that the cross-district. If for three years there is no
development then the permit can be revoked. The Bupati can propose revocation. The
problem so far is often the regent does not provide accurate data to the governor.
Regents often issue permits without BPN technical considerations.
The weakness of LHK ministry is prior to the establishment or confirmation process and
only based on the information on the map, but in the field is not clear. So it should be
laid out so that the boundary in the field is clear. Problems arising from the exchange of
areas, ie reserves for forested areas and exchange mechanisms require at least one in
one. To find the location of this exchange is very difficult. The mechanism of exchange
or discharge of the process is necessary to be proposed to the central government
(KLHK). There needs to be an integrated team from Universities, LIPI etc. and this
takes a long process. To overcome the already accommodated with the existence of PP
No 60/2012 which is now replaced with Government Regulation No. 104/2015. So it is
not entirely overlapping the problem in the palm oil plantation sector but some are also
there terlluran.
Recorded several cases tenurial include: 1) there is a HGU outside the location permit
and how the legal aspects; 2) there is a replacement area but another license has been
issued. There seems to be no synergy between the provincial and district governments.
Once the procedure is met both release and exchange, then the demand for 20% of the
area for the community garden or plasma is fulfilled; 3) when there is a determination
for the plasma plantation but the village does not exist or the person does not exist.
According to the Head of BPN of Central Kalimantan Province, there are several types of
land rights as set forth in Article 16 of the Basic Agrarian Law. In the HGU there is
stipulation, extension and granting of rights in general. In relation to the cancellation of
rights, it may be possible if the process is legally flawed. HGU is to cultivate state-
controlled land for a period of time. Individuals may apply for a minimum HGU of 5 ha
and a maximum of 25 ha. Legal entities can also propose small areas. As for the
duration of permit, the first for 35 years and can be extended 25 years according to
article 8 PP no 40/1996. The old rule regulates that there is grant and extension of HGU
for a total period of 85 years, but currently HGU can be given for 35 years to then
evaluate and reconstruct the plantation.
In relation to the obligations of HGU holders, HGU license holders are obliged to pay
BPHTB when their rights have already been exhausted and carry out the business
according to the designation. Other obligations of plantation companies include
maintaining soil fertility, maintaining the preservation of their gardens and submitting
written reports annually for the utilization of HGU. If the land of the concession is not
utilized for three years then referring to Government Regulation No 11, the land
becomes abandoned land. The concession holder is then required to give up his rights
after the land is not managed or the land is destroyed. In addition, the land can also be
revoked for public use and the land is destroyed.
Up to 2015, HGU in Central Kalimantan is 128 SK HGU with an area of 776,328 ha; then
in 2016 as many as 146 HGU with an area of 876,000 ha and in 2017 increased by 159
HGU with an area of 800 thousand hectares. The problems encountered in the licensing
of HGU are: 1) the issuance of Presidential Decree 10/2011 concerning postponement
of licensing of oil palm plantations on peatlands, 2) there are still many areas requested
for HGU within the forest area; 3) the existence of overlapping permits within one area,
4) unclear administrative boundaries.
1. Central Kalimantan until 2012 is one of the provinces that have not completed Spatial
Planning, one of the causes because there is no matching between the spatial layout of
forestry with spatial Province of Central Kalimantan.IImplikasi from the absence of a
harmonious match between forestry spatial layout with spatial Central Kalimantan
province is the occurrence of conflicts in the use of space, where the use of non-
procedural forest areas for oil palm plantations in forest areas in Central Kalimantan
Province as many as 282 units of oil palm plantation of 3.9 million hectares. The effort
to solve the problem of the use of forest area for oil palm plantation in Central
Kalimantan Province was undertaken with the revision of policy on the change of forest
function of PP number 60 year 2012 which gives opportunity for oil palm plantation
which is based on Forestry Law inside forest area but based on RTRWP Central
Kalimantan Province in the APL area and cultivation, is given the opportunity to take
care of its permission Setiawan, EN (2017).
2. The widespread extent of oil palm plantations within the forests of Central
Kalimantan province is the result of weak coordination and integration of policies and
institutions between the Environment and Forestry Sectors, the Agrarian and Spatial
Sectors and their implementation at the provincial and district levels in the absence of a
proposal for Spatial Planning The provincial territory unuk increase the number of APL
area, weak coordination of licensing between the Central Government and Provincial /
District Government both on the farm level (on farm, oil palm plantation) and
downstream (off-farm, CPO processing plant) Local Government), plantation business
permit (DGP), Hak Guna Usaha certificate in forest area and permit of forest area
release.
a. Tenurial conflicts
The development of the number of oil palm plantations as above in the field level raises
the problem of the existence of local communities (indigenous people) such as: the
community becomes hungry because the land has no rights to land, the increasing
number of unemployed and poor people. Uncontrolled conditions in the field require
government concern.
3. Conflicts over palm oil and overlapping land use due to the attractiveness of the
three Laws / Regulations Law 26/2004 on Spatial Planning, Law 5/1960 on Agrarian
Mainstreaming and Law No. 41/1999 on Forestry. Implementation of the regulation is
not coordinated, not integrated and not synchronized between the three main
stakeholders, namely the Ministry of Agriculture and Spatial Planning (ATR) and the
Ministry of Environment and Forestry (LHK) both at the central level and the Regional
Government (Provincial and District / City) under the coordination of the Ministry of
Home Affairs This can be seen from the HGU issue of oil palm plantations within the
forest area due to changes in regulations and policies at the respective ministry level In
order to overcome the settlement of oil palm plantations in the forest area there are
several alternative options policies to address them, including:
c. At the end of this paper, it is wasted to the parties, especially the Ministry of
Environment and Forestry, the Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning, the Central
Kalimantan Provincial Government as the Provincial Governor and the Head of Region /
Regent in Central Kalimantan Province coordinate, integrate and synchronize in
managing, managing, maintaining and supervising them professionally, transparently,
openly and participatively in the lands and forest areas so that the land remains
productive and can improve the economic resilience of indigenous peoples and local
communities.
