DEMOCRACY OF PANCASILA: THE CONCEPT AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN INDONESIA

Today democracy is regarded as the most ideal system of government. Many countries declare themselves to be democracies, albeit with different titles. Democracy in general is a system of government in which sovereignty is in the hands of the people, or is universally said to be government from, by and for the people. In Indonesia the democratic system used is the democracy of Pancasila. Democracy is based on the personality and philosophy of life of the Indonesian nation. Democracy based on Pancasila values, namely; based on the democracy led by the wisdom in the deliberations / representatives, having the concept of one god almighty upholding a just and civilized humanity, to unite Indonesia to bring about social justice for all Indonesians. The basic principle, prioritizing deliberation, with deliberations is expected to satisfy all those who differ, an expectation that is very difficult can be realized in the practice of nation and state. Implementation of Democrazy of Pancasila in the course of the nation's history, often experienced ups and downs.

The 1998 reform order became the cornerstone of the democratic movement in Indonesia. The transition to a democratic system of government. If the implementation of this Pancasila democracy system can be realized, then Indonesia can be a model in the application of democratic system in governance

Demokrasi Prosedural dan Semangat Kerakyatan Literasi Politik Era Reformasi

Ada adagium dalam Ilmu Sejarah yang menyatakan bahwa sejarah adalah politik di masa lalu, dan politik adalah sejarah yang sedang berlangsung. Bagi saya, pernyataan ini menemukan maknanya ketika membaca kembali percikan pemikiran yang dimuat beberapa media massa cetak. Pemikiran itu terekam dalam serial tulisan rubrik Orasi yang terbit setiap Jum’at di Harian Bali Post, sejumlah wawancara, berita, makalah dan juga esai lepas yang dimuat di beberapa media cetak. Setiap tulisan dalam antologi ini mesti dibaca dalam konteks masa, peristiwa, bahkan episode dalam proses sejarah yang sedang berlangsung saat itu. Hampir setiap tulisan dan materi wawancara dalam buku ini merupakan catatan, komentar, cetusan gagasan, bahkan sebagian bersifat forecast, prediksi atas bagian sebuah proses politik yang belum selesai. Karenanya kumpulan tulisan ini memiliki keunikan tersendiri. Ia dapat dibaca sebagai catatan kaki dari sejarah kontemporer republik ini, sebagai wakil dari suara cendekiawan politik yang jauh dari episentrum namun disemangati usaha mengedepankan kejernihan dalam meninjau berbagai peristiwa politik, termasuk di dalamnya isu-isu strategis di pentas nasional dan internasional. Pemikiran-pemikiran itu sebagian disampaikan lugas dalam bahasa yang mudah dipahami pembaca, dan untuk sebagian memperkenalkan konsep, pendekatan dan idiomidiom yang --bisa jadi-- baru bagi masyarakat awam. Untuk sebagian barangkali akan terasa sebagai representasi euphoria keterbukaan, mewakili pemahaman dan harapan rakyat, juga jembatan yang menghubungkan konstruksi nilai, norma dan prosedur demokrasi yang sedang dilembagakan vis a vis (saling berhadapan dengan-) pemahaman awam dan ekspresi semangat kerakyatan. Esai-esai dalam antologi ini terbangun sebagai dokumentasi literer pembelajaran politik melalui respon atas isu-isu politik aktual. Representasi era yang berubah cepat serupa itulah yang melatarbelakangi judul “Demokrasi Prosedural dan Semangat Kerakyatan: Literasi Politik Era Reformasi” ini. Banyak terjadi perubahan dalam dua dasawarsa setelah Reformasi bergulir di Indonesia. Semangat perubahan yang bergelora di awal Reformasi menemukan berbagai bentuk implementasi dalam dinamika sosial-politik, terutama dalam tataran peraturan perundang-undangan berhadapan dengan tataran praksis. Agenda pembaruan norma-norma yang mengatur jalannya suprastruktur politik dan infrastruktur politik terlaksana dalam wacana terbuka, tarik-menarik kepentingan yang massif dan dalam percepatan tinggi. Percaturan wacana di tataran akademik dan media massa menggambarkan bahwa meski tertatih, peranan intelektual berusaha didorong sekuat tenaga mengimbangi pertarungan kepentingan dalam perumusan tatanan baru kehidupan kenegaraan; Melampaui wacana, terjadi juga eskalasi riak-riak yang berkembang menjadi gelombang di daerah yang jauh dari pusat kekuasaan. Peristiwa politik lokal tidak jarang menjadi muara dari agenda elit politik dalam bentuk-bentuk konfigurasi peristiwa politik lokal yang ekstrem. Dalam ungkapan sinikal, gejala ini kerap digambarkan: “Elit partai yang minum tuak di Jakarta, massa partai mabuk di Bali”

STATUS TANAH LABA PURA DI BALI SETELAH KELUARNYA S.K. MENDAGRI NOMOR: 556/DJA/1986

Maka terhadap tanah-tanah yang dikuasai oleh persekutuan hukum (Desa Adat/Pekraman), maupun tanah-tanah, hendaknya didaftarkan sesuai dengan ketentuan-ketentuan Peraturan Pemerintah No. 24 Tahun 1997 sebagai pengganti Peraturan Pemerintah No. 10 Tahun 1961, tentang Pendaftaran Tanah. Tanah-tanah adat termasuk didalamnya tanah laba pura di Bali hampir semua tidak terdaftar pada Kantor Pendaftaran Tanah untuk mendapatkan kepastian hak dan kepastian hukum bagi pemegangnya, sehingga tanah-tanah tersebut tidak mempunyai sertifikat sebagai tanda bukti hak atas tanah. Tanah-tanah tersebut hanya didaftar pada Kantor-kantor Landrete atau pajak bumi, sehingga tanda-tanda bukti yang diberikan adalah tanda bukti pengenaan atau pembayaran pajak bumi berupa pipil/petuk D/Girik. Jadi pendaftaran ini bersifat fiscal kadaster, sedangkan yang kita maksudkan adalah pendaftaran yang diadakan untuk memberikan kepastian hak dan kepastian hukum (rechts kadaster). Tanah laba pura adalah tanah-tanah yang khusus yaitu tempat untuk mendirikan pura (bangunan suci) dan tanah yang merupakan sumber dana upacara keagamaan dan pemeliharaan pura. Dengan ditunjuknya pura sebagai badan hukum keagamaan yang dapat mempunyai hak milik atas tanah berdasarkan Surat Keputusan Menteri Dalam Negeri Nomor: 556/DJA/1986, membawa konsekwensi Yuridis terhadap tanah-tanah laba pura baik mengenai status haknya maupun pendaftarannya. Sekarang statusnya jelas yaitu berstatus hak milik menurut UUPA. Kemudian tanah-tanah laba pura wajib didaftarkan sesuai dengan ketentuan UUPA yo PP No. 24 Tahun 1997, agar memperoleh sertifikat sebagai tanda bukti haknya
