To capture a small hamlet called Ngrimpak can take a look through the history and sociocultural perspectives that exist. History in the Java community, ascribed sejare-jare (the people said)-a statement of estimated, but it is a real. The history is still shrouded in legend elements and mythology, a powerful without heuristic stage and a more in-depth critique. However, the power of myth/legend (power of myth) as a main axis in the planting of heritage values at home is still there to this day.

Ngrimpak located in the Village District Lowungu Bejen County Waterford, Central Java. Administratively, Lowungu is 11 km from the capital Bejen district and 37 km from the capital of County Waterford. North of the village adjacent to the village Lowungu Prangkoan, on the west by the Village Dam, east of the village of Ban Luwok and the south by the Village Lembuyang. Ngrimpak hilly topography alone was enough cool air to the atmosphere at an altitude of 695 masl.

Ngrimpak also great through thick with culture and history. History has a story, Waterford has always been associated with the ancient Mataram kings named Rakai Pikatan. Pikatan name itself used to mention an area that is at the fountain in the surrounding Waterford. History of Waterford began carrying the inscription Middle Wanua III Year 908 AD found villager Dunglo hanger District Kaloran Waterford Village in November 1983.

In socio-cultural, Ngrimpak society is a society in transition, as it is the people who experienced massive migration from the Kingdom of Mataram. Migration was more focused on economic issues. No wonder, “capital” (natural resources) are used as the main reference in a living.

Forests and interior not only gives voice flute, but also a fierce burning fire unggur, revolution and love created in them, as beautifully written by Ramadhan KH in a long poem about Priangan. And we must live with the trauma. We live with the anxiety of forests.

Ngrimpak livelihoods average is farming. They make use of fertile land is flanked by three mountains, namely Mt Prau, Sindoro and Sumbing. They should get along, because farmers actually very mutual cooperation. There is no problem as to the second element of the dispute with the village should Lowungu Perhutani office, North Kedu. Community land area of 81 ha in the hamlet Ngrimpak unilaterally claimed by Perhutani office.

Friction Early

The history of land tenure in Ngrimpak Hamlet, Village Lowungu former refers to the mastery of tea and cinchona plantations in the semulamilik rights erfpacht Chinese businessmen Parakan origin, Waterford. Employers are leaving their property and never come back since tea plantation barn burned

in 1932. In 1940, the village was held which was attended by the Resident Rembug Clark Sutomo and Wedono Candiroto, Sudirman and citizens Ngrimpak and decided that as much as 13 KK pickers tea plantation workers to capitalize on the former tea plantation land area of 17 hectares with the division of the house and yard for each 0 , 25 hectares, and the garden area of 1 ha.

Later in 1958, residents Ngrimpak apply to the government to work on the land of tea and quinine plantations former, because the state of the dense population and land as livelihood needs. This long process was approved by the Government in 1967, with the issuance of Petok D / D letter from the office of arable land to agrarian society Ngrimpak.

Conflicts between villagers Ngrimpak with Perhutani real “indication” of long standing, which since the 1970s Sutomo be kades. Soetomo intense visited by forest officials. Soetomo asked to hand over the land to the former tea plantation forestry. But Kades Soetomo not want memyerahkan former plantation land titling to Perhutani society.

In 1975, Kadesh Harsono (substitute Sutomo) land withdrawal letter Petok D / D letter Ngrimpak the grounds belonging to the administrative reform. In 1976, Foreman-foreman Perhutani started to go and claim that land is land Ngrimpak Perhutani and not a Government land Ground (GG).

Until now, the land area of 81 hectares in the hamlet Ngrimpak Ngrimpak residents initially controlled, managed just now covering 27 hectares, planted with perennials like sengon well as coffee, maize and cassava. Then the area of 17 ha of land planted with pine forestry, and land area of 37 hectares tilled by peasant migrants from Dam Village and Village Tening. So some 81 ha of land is land that is disputed by the Dusun community Ngrimpak with Perhutani.

According Andrianto, companion Ngrimpak society, it is clear that there are overlaps that occur in the legal community with Perhutani. “People Ngrimpak have enough evidence in the form of land ownership girik. Conflict is motivated, when the village head then pull girik of citizens, and at the same time, the foreman-supervisor of the North Kedu KPH go “. Chaos land is not also find the results for both sides no one would budge.

To strengthen the bargaining position of local communities, they had planted forest area claimed Perhutani, with coffee and corn. Now the case is being mediated, involving the National Human Rights Commission and the Ministry of Forestry Task Force Team. But now, it has not reaped satisfactory results.

Eve in the Village Ngrimpak contrary to the economic welfare of its citizens. For example, of the four farmers, namely Atmojo, Wasis, Kabul, and Agus Marto, everything just rely on income from coffee is harvested once a year. They have no more opportunity to grow crops that can be harvested in time monthly, because they have no more land to grow other crops. Land that is considered theirs has been planted pine by Perhutani. “Well what can we do, I thank fate alone” said Mr. Atmojo farmer from the village Ngrimpak.

Since 2009, conditions worsened with the arrival of the conflict from the other villages that actually allowed to grow in the area of dispute Perhutani. Dam Village Community and Village Tening, they claimed it was ordered by the Perhutani plant in the conflict area. There is such an effort to “provoke” by Perhutani that psychological conflicts among the villagers. After that, it will strengthen the bargaining position Perhutani land dispute.

The narrowness of the arable land Ngrimpak facing society itself also adds to the problem. For example, there are nine families that do not have arable land. They just rely on the lives of non-farm, for example, vending stalls or motorcycle taxis. It certainly is not logical when you see there are many vacant lots in the area of conflict even planted pine forestry, as well as villagers worked in the outcome Ngrimpak.

Actually there are several mediation can be performed, such as head village of Lowungu apply for return of land in the hamlet of Government Ground Ngrimpak Perhutani recognized as Bosch Wezen to the Regent Waterford. Parliament then formed a team to investigate the case of Waterford Ngrimpak land, but until now there has been no definitive work of the team and the local government. So the peace of the forest like what diutopiakan the meaning of independence is far from being grilled. *** (AGW)
