Abstract:
In Indonesia, land tenure conflicts occurred after 1997 financial crisis. Many scientists and policy makers tried to solve these conflicts, but failed to address their underlying cause of, causing the conflicts re-emerge after they were claimed settled. Land tenure conflicts mostly emerge because there are many competing claims by various stakeholders on land. There is a need to study about this kind of conflict and ICRAF, in 2006, developed a manual called RaTA to address this need. RaTA aims to explain the competing claims and underlying cause of these claims among different stakeholders. This method was then conducted in Mount Halimun-Salak National Park, where the area not only contains different competing claims but also different needs and interests from various stakeholders. A policy analysis and historical analysis was also used to explain the cause of these competing claims, revealing a different perspective from stakeholders’ perceptions toward their claims
