Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze the forms of power in the utilization of communal land in Kampar District. This study departs from an empirical phenomenon namely the number of conflicts in the utilization of tanah ulayat that occur so that it has implications for the social and economic life of the community. Analyzing these forms of power, in this study using the theory of Power Cube that was presented by Gaventa. Based on the results of the research conducted, it was found that there were two forms of power that influenced the implementation of tanah ulayat utilization in Kampar District. The first is visible power, which is the practice of power occurring in the formal sphere in the process of making policies for the recognition and protection of customary communities in Kampar District. In addition, the practice of visible power is also seen from the interaction between actors in resolving tanah ulayat conflicts that occurred in Kampar District. While the second form of power in the utilization of tanah ulayat is hidden power or power. The practice of hidden power is carried out by company actors who are suspected of encroaching on tanah ulayatby playing their power in permits issued by the Government.
