Abstract

Peatlands are currently an option in conducting land extensification in carrying out various business activities. At least there are several things that make peatlands increasingly massively used in various business activities, such as the rate of land conversion in agriculture, the increase in population, and the desire to make Indonesia a world food barn. The use of peatlands has the potential for harmful impacts to the community, this is because peatlands are easy to burn and cause air pollution to become worse. This happened in 2015 and 2019 when forest fires occurred on peatlands in Jambi Province, causing very bad air pollution. To prevent this, the village government has an important role through the governance of village regulations regarding peatlands in the village. In addition, to strengthen this, it is necessary to manage customary regulations to be in line with village regulations, so that in this way the local wisdom of indigenous peoples can be maintained. However, in Jambi today there are still many villages that do not yet have the governance of village regulations and customary regulations governing peatland issues. Therefore, this study will describe the urgency of managing village regulations and customary regulations as an effort to manage green economy-based peatlands in Jambi Province. This study uses a normative juridical method, using a statutory and conceptual approach. It was found in this study that at the regional regulation level, the government has given special attention by issuing regional regulations on peatland management, but at the village level there are still many who do not have these regulations. The urgency of the governance of village regulations and customary regulations is to preserve the environment so that the basis of a green economy can be achieved, and local wisdom of rural communities can also occur.
