THE STRUCTURE DESIGN OF CUSTOMARY VILLAGE: A CASE STUDY IN PROBUR VILLAGE, ALOR REGENCY OF INDONESIA

Abstract

Village can be stipulated as a customary when it has four conditions, i.e. law community unit, shared value, customary governance institutions, and norms of customary law. The customary village structure does not require community organizations such as RW (neighborhood ward, Rukun Warga) and RT (neighborhood block, Rukun Tetangga) because each head of tribe directly controls his people very effectively based on the right of origin and customs. Indigenous peoples have their own custom rules or norms to honor abiding citizens and impose penalties or sanctions against disobedient people. The shared value in various affairs is a form of custom strength.
