Abstract
The people of the Kei Islands have known cases settlement system since the olden days, namely the Customary judiciary, a forum in the Larvul Ngabal customary law system that holds a high authority, which is obeyed by the community and is often the main choice in resolving disputes. With a field study approach, this study aims to explain how the settlement process of natural resources disputes by a “customary judge” in the Kei Islands is still used as a reference by the community. What are the reasons? This study discovered that customary settlement forums are still used to resolve marine resource disputes and deemed to provide a sense of justice. Customary settlements are not only aimed at punishing the perpetrators, but also to restore the impact of the dispute on individual victims, their families and their social environment. This study also discovered that the customary settlements carried out in the Kei Islands have developed from the dated dichotomy and tend to produce hybrid settlement models.
Bahasa Abstract
Masyarakat di Kepulauan Kei sejak jaman dulu telah mengenal suatu sistem penyelesaian perkara yaitu Sidang Adat, suatu forum dalam sistem hukum adat Larvul Ngabal yang mempunyai otoritas tinggi, dipatuhi masyarakat dan kerap menjadi pilihan utama dalam menyelesaikan sengketa. Dengan pendekatan penelitian lapangan, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana proses penyelesaian sengketa sumber daya kelautan oleh “hakim adat” di Kepulauan Kei masih menjadi acuan masyarakat, dan apa alasannya? Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa forum penyelesaian adat masih digunakan untuk menyelesaikan sengketa sumber daya kelautan dan dianggap lebih memberikan rasa keadilan. Penyelesaian adat bukan hanya bertujuan untuk menghukum pelaku saja, tetapi juga memulihkan dampak sengketa. terhadap para korban secara individual, keluarganya dan lingkungan sosialnya. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa penyelesaian adat yang dilaksanakan di kepulauan kei telah berkembang dari dikotomi lamanya dan cenderung menghasilkan model penyelsaian yang hibrida.
