Regional Government Policy in Providing Protection for Customary Law Communities (Study of Central Kalimantan Indigenous Peoples)

Abstract

The purpose of this writing is to find out and describe regional government policies in providing protection for indigenous peoples in Central Kalimantan. The approach method in writing uses a sociological juridical approach. The results of the research conducted state that the Regional Government Policy in Providing Protection for Customary Law Communities is to establish the basic concept of Central Kalimantan customary law in the Dayak Customary Institution in Central Kalimantan which has been included in Central Kalimantan Province Regional Regulation No. 16 of 2008, as well as Central Kalimantan Governor Regulation no. 13 of 2009. It is clear that Customary Law is a unique legal system and therefore different from other legal systems, including state legal systems as part of the concept of a legal state. So, it can be said that customary law is a legal system that is not in line with the concept of the rule of law. The level of civilization and modern ways of living have apparently not been able to eliminate the customs that live in society. What can be seen in the process of progress at that time is that the customs adapt to the conditions and desires of the times, so that the customs become eternal and remain fresh, rooted in custom. This is how an amazing source of our customary law emerges.
