OPTIMALISASI KEWENANGAN MEDIASI CAMAT DALAM MITIGASI SENGKETA TANAH DI KECAMATAN WATANG PULU KABUPATEN SIDENRENG RAPPANG
Abstract
The Sub-district Head (Camat), through their delegated authority, plays a role in handling land conflicts at the sub-district level; however, land disputes in Watang Pulu Sub-district continue to show an increasing trend. This study aims to examine mediation practices using Christopher W. Moore's framework, identify inhibiting factors, and formulate strategic steps to produce legally binding agreements. This research employs a qualitative case study method with data collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and official document review. Data analysis was conducted interactively through stages of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, strengthened by source and technique triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing. The findings reveal that the Camat of Watang Pulu has adaptively implemented Moore's twelve mediation stages across diagnostic, intervention, and formalization phases. Nevertheless, negotiation success is frequently hindered by value clashes between economic interests and family honor (sirik), third-party interventions, and weak village administrative data reliability. To optimize the mitigation function, this study proposes strategies including registering mediation agreements as Akte van Dading (Peace Deeds) in the District Court to ensure executorial power, GPS technology for land boundary accuracy, and involving senior community figures as custodians of land historical memory.
