Pelaksanaan Hak Asasi Masyarakat Adat dalam Pembangunan Kota Sorong: Kajian Hukum Tata Negara

The discussion of Regional Autonomy and Special Autonomy has become an important issue related to granting greater authority to local governments to manage governmental affairs independently, including social, economic, development, and public services sectors. The main goal of this autonomy is to increase the efficiency of government, public services, community empowerment, and active community participation in development, with a focus on local welfare and the development of local potential. However, in its implementation, development in Sorong City often faces challenges related to the recognition and protection of indigenous peoples' rights. Although recognized in the 1945 Constitution, the rights of indigenous peoples are often overlooked due to the lack of understanding by government officials and development policies that do not actively involve them. Therefore, it is important for local governments to strengthen the capacity of officials, increase understanding of indigenous peoples' rights, and involve them in every stage of planning and implementation of development. With more inclusive and just policies, it is expected that development in Sorong City can proceed more equitably, sustainably, and with attention to the rights of indigenous peoples.
