The Integration of Javanese Immigrants with Malayan Society in Riau Province: Peace and Cultural Values

Transmigration is outlined in Article 4 of Law No. 15 of 1997 concerning transmigration in Indonesia. There are cases of social conflicts due to cultural differences between indigenous people and migrants, in this case, the Javanese and the Malayan, in Riau Province, one of the transmigration destinations. Practically speaking, this social integration process is tainted by conflict and violence. This study examines the tolerant cultural values of native Malays and Javanese migrants in Riau Province. Acculturation is the taking on or acceptance of one or more cultural traits as a result of coming into contact with two or more different cultural traits that are related to or cross paths with one another. This study used a qualitative research method with a descriptive research design that combined an interviewing strategy with a literature review. The findings of this study suggest that smart government policies and mutual support between the two cultures are key factors in the achievement of cultural inculcation in Riau Province.Keywords: Integration, Javanese, Riau Province, Transmigratio

Land Conflict Resolution for Chilonga Village

The Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate, and Rural Resettlement issued statutory instrument (S.I) 50 of 2021, announcing the 12940 hectares of Chilonga land is commercialized for national food security. The statutory instrument (S.I) 50 of 2021 also stated that the Chilonga villagers immediately pave way for the lucerne grass irrigation project. The problem with this research is that the Ministry of Land has the power to relocate people in all communal lands according to the constitution of Zimbabwe and the Communal lands Act Chapter 20:04, but failed to resettle the Chilonga villagers. This research aims to analyze the causes of the Chilonga land conflict, the Ministry of Lands's capacity to carry out the Chilonga land resettlement, and how the government can intervene in resolving the Chilonga land conflict. Theories and concepts used are; strategy theory, conflict tree concept, conflict triangle theory, and national security concept. This research employs a qualitative research method involving nine informants. The results of the study show that the causes of the Chilonga land conflict are poor strategic planning, poor communication, cultural beliefs, political influence, lack of trust, and land compensation. The research results also show that the Ministry is lacking the capacity to conduct Chilonga resettlement. Finally, the research shows that the government should provide adequate support to the resettlement program and also should consider win-win conflict resolution
