Abstract
Keujruen Blang is a person who has particular abilities in agricultural management and arrangement and served as assistant of village head in prospering the farmers. Keujruen blang have criteria such as persevering personality, discipline, experienced and master the customary law of agriculture. This thesis describes the results of research on the customary institution's utilization of Keujruen Blang: Gabungan Perkumpulan Petani Pemakai Air (Association Of Water User Farmer; GP3A) in increasing rice production in Pidie Regency. Besides, Keujruen Blang also hasn't owned the notary registration as an institution that is legally recorded in the district. Besides, other problems are related to the weaknesses of local leadership, lack of educating organizational structure, lack of government participation, and part of the substance of the customary rules are less relevant to the conditions of the peasant society nowadays. In order to minimize the problems that occur in Keujruen Blang, it requires a traditional leadership reorientation from the fixed role (the implementation of routine tasks only) to the role of a agent of change, who is able to reform the organization, improve irrigation, raise awareness of the peasants and the government, and redefinition of customary rules and Keujruen Blang.
