Research Supervisor Connect
Since democratization in Indonesia since 1999, there has been growing legal recognition of customary law (adat) communities and customary claims over land. This recognition has potentially serious implications for land access by communities, particularly in relation to their ability to sustain livelihoods across rural Indonesia. Yet, this connection between legal recognition of customary rights and community livelihoods remains poorly understood. An opportunity exists to address this research gap through a study of customary tenure and livelihoods in selected Indonesian case sites.
