Implementation OF VILLAGE BOUNDARY DETERMINATION AND AFFIRMATION USING CATHROMETRIC METHOD IN THE DISTRICT OF AIR NIPIS

Abstract

Confirming regional boundaries is very important in this era of implementing regional autonomy. Moreover, after the issuance of Law No. 06 of 2014 concerning villages, regional boundaries have become very important in order to optimize village authority so that they can manage their natural resources independently. Conflicts that occur between two or more bordering regions because there is no legal certainty can result in material or non-material losses. To minimize the occurrence of conflict in a regional boundary determination issue, it is necessary to create regional boundary maps based on applicable legislation. According to Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 45 of 2016, determining and confirming village boundaries cartometrically is expected to be a solution. Regional confirmation can also optimize regional management so that it can create orderly government administration, provide clarity and legal certainty over areas that affect technical and juridical aspects. The focus of this research is the determination and confirmation of village boundaries in Air Nipis District, South Bengkulu Regency, which covers 5 research aspects, namely Preparation, Initial Socialization. Data Collection, Determination of Village boundaries, and Confirmation of Village boundaries.

The confirmation of village boundaries was stated in the issuance of Regent Regulation no. 46 of 2023 concerning Determination, Confirmation and Confirmation of Village Boundaries in Air Nipis District, South Bengkulu Regency.
