ABSTRACT:
This study is about the ethnography of the dynamics of Village Forest refusal as politic of value of the Petalangan People in Gondai Village, Pelalawan, Riau, in a community-based ecosystem revitalization of Teso Nilo (RETN) scheme. They refuse the social forestry scheme, which was proposed by themselves and a local non-governmental organization (NGO) and legalized by the state in 2017. The use of the refusal theory, relation of property, politic of value, and value commensuration approaches in studies of tenure claims by Indigenous people such as the Petalangan people, shows that the refusal here is the strategy of Indigenous People to get possibilities on claiming and using their land for commodity plantation such as palm oil and any of benefit to their interest, not as social forestry scheme regulates by government that some part of the forests must have the conservation zone. The Village Forest land at Mamahan Hamlet claimed by the Petalangan People full of palm oil plantations, housing, and all the public facilities for one hamlet. It shows from the relation of property of Petalangan People that the location of village forest is now under the control and ownership of migrants from North Sumatra, and only 1% of the total 9021 hectares are owned by themselves. The study found how NGO actors failed to mitigate conflict from internal politics inside the Petalangan People and only focused on how the legalization of Village Forests can be a solution to restore the Teso Nilo ecosystem. The implication is the revitalization of the ecosystem is only successful for legalizing the land and reducing conflict between the state and the Indigenous People, not for improving the environmental condition of the ecosystem. The theory used in this study gives nuance to the limited study using value theory to analyze the social forestry and Indigenous People that already have mono-crop culture livelihood in just the past two decades in Indonesia
