Abstract

This community service project aimed to strengthen legal understanding and facilitate resolution of customary land ownership conflicts in the forest area of Lok Lahung Village, Loksado subdistrict, Hulu Sungai Selatan regency through legal outreach, participatory mapping and local mediation. The day program involved 30 participants drawn from farmers, traders, and daily laborers, employing a participatory approach combining legal education, facilitation of evidence collection, and mediation. Pre-post assessment showed average knowledge scores rising from 38 to 72, intention to file claims increasing from 25% to 60%, and the number of participants taking concrete claim-related actions rising from 3 to 15. Results indicate that blending legal education with hands-on assistance effectively motivates communities to shift from passive awareness to proactive action, though long-term outcomes depend on continued accompaniment and institutional support. The project recommends forming a village-level customary land recognition forum, continued legal documentation assistance, and coordinated engagement with the regency forestry office to accelerate verification processes.
