It begins by revisiting key legislations produced after independence that directly and indirectly affect local/indigenous rights. Then it continues with identification a variety of terms used in national legal frameworks in conceptualizing indigenity that are similar with the concept of masyarakat adat, as well as putting together main themes used in defining and categorizing masyarakat adat. Furthermore, it discusses the gap analysis of Indonesian government use of masyarakat adat category in comparison of the International Finance Corporation Performance Standard 7 requirements for indigenous people. The paper ends with a summary of what this gap means for the prospect of fulfillment of the rights of those fit into IFC PS7 criteria of “indigenous people” but do not fit into various sectoral terms that are similar with masyarakat adat.

Thus far, there are less than a handful of sources on the ethno-linguistic identity and society that spread across the Rumbia Plain, Polea or Poleangcoastal regionand Kabaena Island in the District of Bombana, Indonesia. The review consists of the major events, which introduced external shocks to different parts of the Moronene society. It begins with the history of the ethnic settlement on the mainland of Southeast Celebes, locus of its ethno-linguistic relations with other ethnicgroups in Celebes and important ethnical structures and attributes. Furthermore, it continues with a description of the time line of major events that affect the society from the moment the country gained its independency in 1945 until the present time. We argue that ethnic and linguistic characteristics as well as these major events shape not only people’s collect...

In Indonesia, demand for teak timber produced from private land is considerably high and promises potential for future expansion. Yet because little is understood about the factors that motivate farmers to integrate teak into their farming system, the promotion of teak tree growing is often ineffective.
This research sought to understand factors that motivate farmers to grow teak trees and it took as a case study the Hutan Jaya Lestari Cooperative (Koperasi Hutan Jaya Lestari-KHJL) in South Konawe District of Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, which is the first cooperative in Indonesia granted Forest Certification Council (FSC) Certification in 2005 and has been promoted nationally and internationally as a working example of community tree growing management.
The study found that the motivations for farmer members of the KHJL to grow teak are generally a combination of the attractiveness of teak tree growing and incentives and benefits provided by the KHJL. The attractiveness of teak tree growing comprises of direct factors such as higher market price for its timber, the presence of an established market, its role as a means of de-facto saving, its ease of planting and establishing, and indirect factors such as its potential to increase land value, to secure land ownership and to improve environmental conditions. Incentives provided by the KHJL include seed and seedling subsidies, technical and financial support for harvesting and transporting timber from teak farms, and timber marketing facilitation, loan facilities, and dividend/benefit sharing. Benefits of becoming a member of the KHJL consist of simplified timber marketing procedures, potential to secure land ownership, and potential access to additional land offered under the People Plantation Forest program.
